HERO is a non-profit located in Greensboro, Alabama, which
provides community and housing resources for Hale County.
Working with families, HERO strives to improve housing situations
through one-on-one housing counseling and group classes. Once
prepared for homeownership, the housing counselor works with
the family to explore their housing options. The Rural Development
502 Loan is one option for a family with limited income to be able to
afford a new house. Typically, house designs that certify for this loan
are limited, not regionally designed, and generally outdated.
I recognized the need for housing models that satisfied a clients
needs in affordability, scale, and design.
To qualify for this loan type, income levels and credit are the two
most important factors.. By looking at census statistics for the
region, the target demographics based on current housing and
average incomes can be determined, which becomes the model for
typical housing clients.
I based the design of the houses on three criteria: energy and
environmental responsibility, a cohesive asset to an existing
neighborhood, and the clientelle must have pride in the house
design.

Hale County is one of the poorest counties, in one of the poorest
states in the nation. Statistics demand a specifc housing product;
based on size, type, and affordability.
HERO sees many single mothers, typically with three or more
children. The family/client works with a housing counselor to explain
their situation and housing aspirations.

A housing counselor works with the client through months of one-
on-one meetings and group classes. The classes teach the value
of home ownership verses the common alternative, leasing a mobile
home. The client is also taking credit classes, and learning about
financial stability through budgeting.
* chart comparison 2
HERO must accomodate all income levels. The affordability of the
house designs is especially important when 24% of the population
have an income of $10,000 or less. HERO strives to build smaller,
smarter homes that cost less to operate over the lifetime of the
house.

The resulting three houses satisfy the critera of scale, affordabilty,
and design. Varying in scale and style, it is now possible to start the
conversation with a client about aspects he or she likes and dislikes.
The baseline for a lifelong efficient and durable home has been set.
Cosmetic changes can be made without altering the inherit elements,
such as construction techniques and materiality.
The final product is useful in a number of ways. Housing Counselors
use these “boards” when explaining to clients and curious visitors
the type of housing products HERO advocates. During a counseling
session, it may be necessary to “walk” a potential homeowner
through layout or accomodations. The clear format of plan and
elevation help when teaching how to read a plan and relate it to
an image. The designs are useful as jumping off points to begin
personalizing each clients’ home. The ability to compare one to the
next with a few important figures, keeps the process streamline and
more efficient.
My experience at HERO gave me the opportunity to understand
a process really well, analyze where it could improve, and how to
approach it. Beginning from the time a client walks in the door
at HERO to the moment they move in to their first new home,
the process is long and complicated at times. I recognized the
importance of a house design solution that was accessible and
useful to each of the parties involved; counselors, designers, USDA,
and most importantly the client.
The next steps for this project includes the construction of each
of the houses. It will be especially useful in the future to have a
model for potential homebuyers to experience. The drawings and
plans I developed are a big step forward in HERO’s housing and
construction capabilities, providing the groundwork for further
exploration in the housing type.

02S TA C Y H O U S E
In the effort to provide additional affordable housing options to
Greensboro residents, HERO worked with a regional architect
to design an afforable house at an appropriate scale for the
neighborhood it was to be built in. The resulting Stacy House is a
three bedroom, two bath 1100 sf house that is both affordable to
build and operate.
As the Construction Administrator on the project I worked with a
local General Contractor from start to finish, teaching one another
things about our expertise daily. I was learning construction
techniques first hand, while educating the contractor on the
importance of things likes layout, texture, color, and light. Our
learning-style relationship was very important for a project such as
this one.

North Ward, where this house is located, is a neighborhood that
has experienced many changes over the past few years. The land
that was accquired by HERO about 8 years ago, was at the time,
comprised of broken down and decaying trailers. It has since been
cleared and refurbished as a neighborhood of affordable homes.
The houses are built by three entities: Habitat for Humanity, HERO,
and Auburn University’s Rural Studio.
Situated within an existing neighborhood of Greensboro, it is
important to integrate the North Ward houses through scale and
materiality. The non-traditional shape of the houses are dissimilar
from the southern vernacular housing types in the area, but introduce
added qualities such as as increased ceiling heights and natural
daylighting. The simple section and small footprint of the Stacy
house for example, utilizes natural daylight through a south facing
clerestory, and can be used as a learning tool for homeowners to
experience passive strategies.
It was important to work with suppliers of finishes and fixtures to
ensure a cohesive interior with the simplistic style of the structure.
Due to the strict budget and resources, there was extensive research
involved in specifying materials and finishes to be both afforable and
durable.
This project was a learning experience from start to finish; budgeting,
timelines, materials, construction, and builder-buyer relations. I value
the responsibility and hands-on opportunity I had at HERO through
projects like the Stacy House. Understanding the timeline and
process of a construction project were very important to the design
work I was completing simultaneously.

In 1917, Julius Rosenwald recognized the need for schools in
poor, rural African-American communities across the south, and
founded the Rosenwald Fund with Booker T. Washington. To
encourage community support for the structures, the fund would
match whatever amount of money the community could raise for the
construction of schools and teachers’ homes.
In 2008 Lowes’ Charitable and Educational Foundation donated
two million dollars to the National Trust for Historical Preservation’s
Rosenwald Initiative to rescue and restore 55 schools in 11 states.
HERO was the recipient of a $50,000 grant that allowed for the
restoration of a rare one-room Rosenwald School located in Hale
County.
HERO was fortunate enough to discover the Emory-Tunstall School
just outside of Greensboro, become a grant recipient, and complete
the construction mainly though volunteer labor. I first joined the
team when the grant winners were announced, and quickly became
the project manager coordinating volunteers, contractors, and events
around the project.

HERO found the building in extremely poor condition, having been
used to store hay for over 50 years. As part of the restoration I
worked with local contractors to reconstruct structural elements
as historically correct as possible. The brick pier foundation, a new
metal roof, and double hung operable windows, made special to
match, replaced the decayed existing windows. The smaller non-
operable windows however are original frames with repaired glazing.
Most of the labor can be attributed to volunteer work from two
AmeriCorp NCCC teams, and a reoccuring volunteer group called
UBBT (Ultimate Black Belt Test) of about 100 karate enthusiasts
who have volunteered one weekend for the past 6 years. The UBBT
team assigned to this project consisted on 50 volunteers, plus other
community memebers.

Thanks to the building’s new amentity of electricity, the historic
structure is now being used as a community center and gathering
place in this rural neighborhood. HERO is working to install a
permanent exhibition honoring and explaining Rosenwald Schools
across the south, with highlights of Emory School memories and
stories from students like Ms Eloise.
To honor those who made this restoration possible, and to reunite
the community with this historic building, HERO hosted a Grand
Opening event at the school. Alumni, volunteers, and community
members all joined to give thanks to the donations and to share their
memories of this Rosenwald School.

Ms Eloise McDowell traveled the 2 hours from Birmingham to attend
our Grand Opening event at the completion of the restoration.
Eloise is 90 years old, and she was able to share stories of her time
attending Emory-Tunstall School. She arrived with a friend, Ms Ethel
Brock, who also attended this school from 1938 when she was 6
years old, to the time when she was in 6th grade and had to move to
Birmingham to continue her education. Showing the ladies around
their old school was an incredible experience. It was something that
they had never dreamed could happen, and it was amazing hearing
the stories they had of this building over the years.

The Demopolis Yacht Basin in an important asset to Demopolis,
located at the convergence of two prominent rivers in Alabama:
the Tennessee-Tombigbee and Black Warrior Rivers. The facility is
utilized by boaters and local residents primarily in the spring and
summer months. There is a need for a larger facility to provide
addtitional in-water and dry storage of boats.
By word of mouth, I was contacted and hired to design and site
the Bath Building, one of the new structures at this new marina,
Kingfisher Bay. By the time I was brought on to the project, a
number of parameters had already been established; the site plan,
building program elements, and the complete dock system with a
designated space and size for the Bath Building.

Like many communities in the Alabama Black Belt region, Demopolis
was a thriving agricultural town at one time. The cotton fields are
now home to grazing cattle, soybean fields, and catfish ponds. The
end of sharecropping brought a lack of diversification in industry
which eventually led to a drop in job opportunities. This continues to
force younger generations to find work elsewhere. Demopolis is the
largest city in Marengo County, with a population of 7,500.
Historically Registered structures and civil war sites make tourism
one of the largest assets to Demopolis. An enthusiastic Historical
Society accomodates visitors with Antebellum Home tours and
destinations such as the Historical Society Museum.
Geographically, Demopolis is significant due to its positioning at
the convergence of the Black Warrior River and the Tennenssee-
Tombigbee Waterway. This relatively new development (completed
in 1985), created a 234-mile waterway connecting the Tombigbee
River with the Tennessee River. The outlet to sea offers a “short-cut”
for industry out of Mobile Bay. Running parallel to the Mississippi
River, the “Tenn-Tom” offers a route that is over 800 miles shorter.
The improvements have brought added tourists to Demopolis; the
Yacht Basin opened two years following the completion of the
waterway.

This project revealed the importance of the relationship between the
designer and the client, which is primarily based on communication.
One way I communicated with the client was through drawing. When
I was able to provide a number of options with clear advantages and
disadvantages to each, it became much more clear to the client and
to myself what direction the project needed to go. I also learned
however, that giving too much detail at the beginning of the design
process can be counter active. It can distract from the larger design
problem by being too specific.
A client will communicate what he or she thinks is the bulk of the
design challenge, but chances are, there are a number of underlying
issues to explore before getting to the root of the project. I learned
that it is the duty of the designer to identify those pieces and react
accordingly. Given the program and basic aspirations for this project,
I identified larger decisions such as siting the building and the func-
tionality of the spaces. By taking the inititive to look at this relatively
focused design problem in a larger context and produce thoughtful
solutions, I earned additional confidence from the client in my critical
thinking and design skills.
I think the design is successful. The form and plan satisfy the needs
of the client and my design ideals concurrently. The elements are
straightforward and clear; however, a downfall is the lack of definition
in the materials and details. This is especially important in a project
which is utilitarian by program. The interior finishes and fixtures
will largely define this as a successful project. It will be helpful to
produce detailed views of what is envisioned for specific interior
elements.

05J O H N N Y ’ S H O U S E
Johnny Parker, a local resident of Greensboro, accquired a house
located behind his current residence on Main Street. He plans to
live in this renovated historic home. I was brought into the project to
aide in transforming this century old house into a historically correct
structure and a comfortable home for him to live in.
As a skilled jack-of-all-trades, the construction will be completed
by Johnny himself. He is interested in removing all parts of the
house that are not original, but needed direction in planning for the
rebuiding after the demolition session. The interior layout proves
to be more tricky than he originally suspected. Imposing a new
program into an existing structure takes imagination and foresight.
Investigating the existing structure, configuration, and possible
scenerios, Johnny and I have worked together to develop a plan of
action for his house.

With the intention to restore the exterior of the house and renovate
the interior, we began by understanding it’s construction and possible
configuration. Reinstating the original building form does not
inherently include an indoor kitchen or bathroom. Therefore, much of
the design stems from keeping the house intact while also providing
contemporary accomodations.
The interior conditions are poor and will require new wall sheathing in
places. However, there have been very few interior embellishments
over the years which will work in favor of restoring the materials.
Also, all of the doors and windows are still in the building, but many
have been removed.
Investigating the existing conditions, a demolition plan revealed to
the client which elements should be removed and which elements
should be restored.
The basic four-room configuration was very common for the region
in the early 1920’s. The first time we walked through the house,
Johnny pointed to each room, imagining what it could be. One
bedroom, one bathroom, kitchen, living room, and a wrap around
porch.
An initially unrealized portion of the design solution occured when
considering all of the spaces he didn’t realize were necessary in a
comfortable modern interior layout; closets, utility room, storage, etc.
After much consideration for how to accomodate this need without
disturbing the existing room structure, a storage region of small
rooms and built in storage, attaches to the inside wall of the west
rooms, and turns to cut the hallway short.* This allows for the least
disturbance in the overall integrity of the layout, while also providing
necessary space for Johnny. This is also a consideration for the
future of the house and the next prospective owners when/if he
chooses to sell the property. Designing a house for a specific person
with specific needs can be limiting for future use.

In some ways, this became an adaptive reuse project. For example,
the scale and the existing architectural elements (windows, doors,
and fireplaces) made it very difficult to introduce a bathroom in an
old bedroom. The resulting design is very open in plan, and allows
for most of the necessary additions to fit compactly in the “storage
region” previously discussed. This allows for a clawfoot tub to be
centered on the three large windows, the sink to the centered on the
fireplace, and the other necessary fixtures are housed individually.
The toilet is secluded, and a contemporary shower is concealed in
plan.
Although this project is only at the initial stage of design and
construction, I was able to assist in the planning by questioning the
building’s future use and owners. This project exercised the need to
take design liberties as a responsibility of the designer to the client.
There was never a discussion about the lack of storage space or
contemporary fixtures, but as a designer it is my responsibility to be
looking ahead for those opportunities and then providing a solution.

06F I T T S A R C H I T E C T S
Involved in a number of varying projects at Fitts Architects, my
key role was in the schmatic design of a new-construction single
family home for a family of tornado survivors. The Miller’s previous
historic home was swept away in the May 2011 tornado. Located
in a historic neighborhood, it is important that this new home fits
appropriately in the streetscape, while also accomodating the family
with new program requirements.
Working with the couple in client meetings, I was constantly learning
how to ask sensitive questions about their home; spaces they
loved and spaces they were missing. The end design satisfied all
parts of their modern lifestyle while also fitting into the existing
neighborhood.
This small firm required everyone to be involved in every part of
the project. This was a great experience for me to understand the
process and timeline of a project, and also the working schedule in
the office.

As a part of the Auburn University Urban Studio Thesis program
curriculum I was involved in a 16 week internship in the middle of the
thesis school year. Through this arrangement students are exposed
to a firm environment while still in a school curriculum. During the
internship at Goodwyn, Mills, and Cawood, I was actively involved
in every stage in multiple projects. It was an incredible learning
experience of realistic projects and problem solving. In addition to
the school internship, I also worked at GMC several months following
my graduation from Auburn.
At the time of the internship, the firm was considering a firm-wide
transition to Revit from AutoCAD. Myself and one other designer
were the two assigned to learn and evalutate the program while
using it to design a Renaissance Marriott Hotel in downtown
Birmingham. The challenge was exciting, and I soon began teaching
and helping others with the drafting program, while I was learning
about the professional design industry.v

Goodwyn, Mills, and Cawood is a multi-disciplinary design firm, that
ranges from Interior Design to Civil Engineering. It was exciting
to reveal the capabilities of multiple rendering techniques such as
hand drawing with 2-D drafting, or Revit model building with digital
photographs. These renderings provided additional visuals to model
complex spaces such as this college auditorium, which was in the
schematic phase of design.
Understanding when and how to use different communication tools
was an important lesson. Many complex rendering tools are useful
mostly in-house to help communicate amongst designers, while a
less detailed and more emotionally based drawing is helpful when
talking with clients. Too many details early on in a project can be
distracting for the client, diverting attention from the over-arching
idea of a design.

Auburn Univerisity’s Architecture program has a number of studio
options on and off campus, keeping the education diverse in
experiences and specialties. The educational track I created,
allowed for me to study in Italy, and more locally in Birmingham,
Alabama at the Urban Studio.
In addition to the diverse studying options, the opportunity to apply
for a special Interior Architecture program is also available. A small
class of about 14 students are accepted to the program in which
additional courses focus on studying interiors based Elements and
Theory.

As a final studio project, each student presented an addition
proposal to the Birmingham Museum of Art, primarily to be used for
event space and modern art exhibitions.
This design scheme opposes the existing structure by creating a
more transparent experience, with the goal of making art comfortably
accessible to all people. Utilizing the site’s connections to the city,
the proposed addition is visible from a vehicle on the interstate, and
as a pedestrian in Linn Park. Activating a portion of the downtown,
the building acts as a gateway to connect the Civic Center north of
the interstate, with the downtown center located just south of the
interstate.

As part of a materials cataloging project, each member of the
class was assigned a material type to research, bring innovative
products and applications to one docment. Assigned metals with
2 other students, we compiled contact sheets outlining the product
information.
In addition to the catalog, each member looked more closely at
a case study that utilized the material. The Prada Tower by OMA
demonstrates an innovative way of expressing lightness and
transparency through the use of a metal material, stainless steel.
The perforated steel skin that wraps the building also performs as
a stable frame in the earthquake prone region of California. The
perforations’ size and location on each panel respond directly to the
digitally analyzed lateral forces that must be resisted. The semi-
transparent quality found in this metal material not only offers a
diffused light source in the store and gallery spaces, but also helps
to connect the modern form to the other buildings in the historic
district by exposing the under layer of the building.

Various projects with local organizations and businesses such
as HERO, Two Sisters RE, and Hometown Builders are either
in progress or under construction. Current work ranges from
schematic design to construction administration. Staying busy with
project reasearch and design changes, it is a constant learning
experience.
In addition to the two noted projects I have also completed other
small buildout plans with a local construction company; apartment
renovations in downtown Plainfield, grant writing for a local Antique
Store Facade Improvement bid, and interior design consulting in
the completion of the referenced Mid Century Building. The small
projects over the past year have been varying and challenging,
keeping my learning skills in tune.

Spring of 2011, I was contacted by HERO to research and develop
a house plan that could qualify as a Passive House. Passive
House is an international building standard used to create ultra-
efficient structures, reducing the ecological footprint. The main
strategies include super-insulated walls and ceilings, excellent
ventilation systems (mechanical and passive), and improved energy
performance.
Pulling from a previous house design, this version is detailed to
perform as a Passive House with subtle design changes such as an
unvented crawlspace and a vented attic.
This project is still in the reasearch phase. Every time I work on a
drawing or detail sketch, my knowlege of the construction process
and techniques accelerates. This exposure is very important for me,
as most of my experience has been drawing in an office setting, or
working in a construction administration position. I understand that
it is critical to realize how the building elements work together to
achieve a better performing building and a cohesvie design. This
project has been an amazing tool to learn these new skills.

The Mid Century Building is a local warehouse renovation in
Plainfield, Illinois. Owners, Two Sisters RE, have taken on this
20,000 sf project to provide office and warehouse space for rent
in the Historic Plainfield Village. Many years of additions and
remodeling was removed to start fresh, exposing the interesting
structure of what was once a box factory.
Communicating to contractors and city officials, my role consists of
preparing floor plans for demolition and new construction layout.
The front facade will be elaborated with new corrugated metal
awnings, pronounced entry way, and restored 12 pane warehouse
windows.
This project began prior to my relocation to the Chicago area, and
therefore communication over changes to the plans and schematic
designs was a learning experience in itself. Through the use of
drawings and photographs, the existing structure could be conveyed
to me, as I was able to explain the latest revision.

Partnering with local artists, and working independently, I have
utilized and expanded my expertise of sewing and fabric craft. Small
commissioned projects have encouraged me to take on my personal
projects and expand my sewing and artistic abilities.
Exercising an appreciation for design aspects such as materiality,
composition, construction techniques, style, and functionality, is
important to be able to understand and produce good design. These
projects showcase the ability to apply similar critical thinking to
design problems as one might in an architectual scenerio.

EXHIBIT : “JULIA AND VARINA TAKE TEA”
Mississippi State University Visual Arts Gallery 2010
Visual artist, Annie Cogan, works to explore history and storytelling
through the use of embroidering and upholstery furniture. At “Julia
and Varina Take Tea”, Annie developed a sitting room that depicted
the meeting of Ulysses S. Grant’s widow, Julia Grant, and Jefferson
Davis’ widow, Varina Davis, in New York City long after the Civil War.
The furniture illustrates the personified contrast of the two women
through the use of skirt design.
My role in the project involved partnering with Annie to design
and create the chair pieces for the exhibit. Each of the skirts is
representative of the women and the style of the contrasting North
and South following the Civil War. Julia’s chair (right) is bilowing and
full in the Northern style, while Varina’s chair (left) is more tailored
with inverted pleats and swags of fabric on all sides.

The design/execute nature of this project advanced my sewing
capabilities to a new level. It was required of me to listen to
the artist, collaborate on a design, and then figure out how to
make it happen. The problem solving aspect was not unlike an
architecture project, and I enjoyed it throughout. Annie and I were
able to communicate our thoughts and concerns from schematic to
installation. The exhibit was a huge success.

A rare opportunity to produce a patriotic costume led to this
historically based dress. Instead of the typical historical figure
solution to a request like this, I imagined producing a historical item;
a document.
After making this simple shaped dress out of muslin fabric, I hand
lettered the Declaration of Independence on the front and back
of the garment. A planned aspect of the design included the font
changes and spacing of the “title” and “subtitle” in relation to the
body of text and the shape of the dress. However, an unplanned
strength of the dress is the rythmic lines of scripted lettering creates
a steady pattern percieved from both up close and from a distance.
There is an increasing appreciation for hand-crafted items in this
“digital age”. The dress exemplifies the beauty of hand scripting both
through the finished product of the design, but also by showcasing
the dedication and effort that went into this important document that
ultimately shaped our Nation.

ABOVE Before (left) After (right)OPPOSITE Photograph of the completed chairs.
Immeditately drawn to the tapered legs and wide sloping seats, the
chairs were purchased from a local flea market in Greensboro for
$5 each. The original seat and back covering was a brown vinyl with
piping around all edges. Reupholstering the chairs with a refreshing
off-white linen, showcased the shape through the contrast in colors
and textures against the dark wood frame.
When the chairs were purchased, the backs were flipped over with
the curve on the bottom. A seemingly simple move of flipping the
backs 180 degrees gives the chairs a entirely new shape.
Recognition of good design manifests itself in many ways, furniture
before-and-afters are one example of this ability. The resulting pair
of chairs are functional and attrative.
