Refurbishment of a luxury apartment in Knightsbridge, London. We renovated the whole house and added a glass box extension to the rear to link the kitchen / dining room with the garden.
The Thales building is interesting in architectural terms, though. The windows appear to be portholes...

This house is for sale - love to see a buyer that appreciates this unique modern home.
(note the house was sold and is well loved by its new owners)
G. H. Residence was conceived less as a house, but more as an extension and outgrowth of the limestone and aquifers of the Central Texas geography. The roof structure is configured so as to create a natural basin for the collection of rainwater, not unlike the vernal pools found in the outcroppings of Enchanted Rock. These basins harness additional natural flows through the use of photovoltaic and solar hot-water panels. The water, electricity and heat which are harvested on the roof tie into an extensive climate conditioning system which utilizes water source heat pumps and radiant loops to supply both the heating and cooling for the residence. The climate system is connected to geothermal ground loops as well as pools and water features thereby establishing a system of heat exchange which minimizes reliance on electricity or gas.
The primary formal gesture of the project inserts two long native limestone walls into the site. The walls serve as the boundary demarking domesticated space with the vegetation outbound of these walls being native while the interior spaces are more lush and tropical. The program of the residence is configured along the stone walls each of which serves as the spine for the public and private wings, respectively. The offset between the main wings establish an exterior courtyard which will serve as an extended living space for much of the year. The siting of the boundary walls and building elements was informed by the presence and preservation of three mature native oaks. The house enjoys close proximity to both Emma Long Metro Park and
West Bull Creek Preserve.

The Knoxville Library project was designed in my 3rd year of architecture school. The main book stack portion of the library was oriented to create a continuous street frontage elevation and at the same time putting the program of the building on display to the public. This section of the building was actually imagined as a large scale set of book shelves. This portion of the building was largely glass w/ louvers on the exterior to protect the books from sun damage. Behind the main book stacks on the site is the "academic village" composed of reading rooms and auditorium space. The two smaller pods are reading and class space for young adults and children. The larger football shaped pod contains the adult reading areas, study spaces, and auditorium on the ground floor. This monolithic concrete structure was situated to sit in a reflecting pool that provided unique lighting conditions on the interior.
The architecture of the spacey Onishi community centre seems to mimic the winding river of the valley that cradles the small town. It was a delight to find this large and modern complex in the centre of the small and friendly town.
Can you imagine hosting an event or exhibition here, or filming some scenes, or performing music or theatre?
Many large and small rooms are actively seeking programming proposals.
