Design PhilosoPhy

Architecture is a form of art, simple lines generating forms to create space to form a design. This act of design develops symbiotic relationships as it forms a creative expression that accounts for its surroundings and the user. This correlation utilizes the potential space in regards to its context and interiors to create a design that takes on a holistic approach. While the design process develops its own language allowing the designer to have the ability to utilize the potential space in regards to its context and interior experience. Yet, allow the architecture to fit within its context to form a design that compliments its place, as well as a way to improve our interior surroundings. As the design process evolves, an influential form begins to

evolve from ones own originalities and perspectives. Understanding that context creates an association between the architecture as its site to allow for a feasible solution. While the interior spaces begin to focus on the user and how to improve their surroundings. This ideology allow the architecture to successfully create context that responds to the surroundings and spaces that provide an experience. The design language then compliments the architecture and its function as they unite as one with the environment. As these layers of creative design language fuse together, the architecture becomes refined. Thus, the result is that the architectural element serves the region as both a space and a place.

Professional exPerience

Grady Woods Architects is a firm that that specializes in custom homes, private clubhouses and various commercial projects. With a focus on a Lowcountry design and putting a clients needs first.

My work with the clients has been hands on experience to work with them to uncover what their dream design would be. While incorporating a Lowcountry feel with the use of large porches, steep roofs and the finishes of the homes.

Besides residential I have had the chance to broaden my horizons by working on a private clubhouse during its construction phase and a baseball stadium as a possible design option.

A truly great book should be read in youth, again in maturity and once more in old age, as a fine building should be seen by morning light, at noon and by moonlight. -Robertson Davies

Kensington ParK Branch

The objective of this project is to design a local library of the Live Oak Library system of Savannah, Georgia called the Kensington Park Branch. As the design site local on is located on the exterior of Savannahs Historic District the design, parameters present the opportunity to create modern approach to traditional architectural library design.

The main driving control factor on the project is from the limited available space for the building footprint created by the canal the splits the desired building local on. This factor accompanied with the triangular shape of the site influence the structures modern spanning over the sites canal. The overall architecture is made up of modular materials to create a structure that incorporates folding. This folding is a symbolic jester to the thought of a library books pages being fold back and forth as a reader divulges the subject matter. Throughout the Interior, the use of glass an open environment creates space to promote the interaction of the community within the structure.

Studio 4 ARCH 304 Fall 2012 Brooklyn, New York

Red Hook was built upon the ports which shaped the land and the history of the area. This form shape relates to the industrial history of the community to reflect the history of Red Hook. With the irregular shape that pulls back and forth as the ports did to allow boats to enter, the same effect is used to bring people in to enjoy the space.

Today though containerization has taken over in the 1970s and was forced to move to New Jersey for more space. Red Hook became an abandoned city with warehouses and shops left unattended. With the land being split up since the lack of use of the ports, artists came in to renovate the row houses to create affordable houses. As the area turns around the shipping industry has become focused on the revival of the ports by building a cruise ship terminal. Red Hook is continuing the be redeveloped and rezoned to allow for future businesses and housing to take place along with a proposed bridge for pedestrians to get around since very little transportation is available. Ikea has been the start to popularity to the area, but with the proposed plans for the area Red Hook will continue to grow.
