upon completion of construction documents, hixson was asked to provide a poster illustrating the changes planned for the

restaurant. using revit and post production photoshop work, i

assisted in the creation of a series of renders that we felt

represented the atmosphere appropriately. To evoke a more elegant and intimate feel, we

focused on a consistent contrast and warm color palette against a

dark background. project to be completed end of

narrative: the first two major issues

incorporated into the project were suf-ficient day lighting and plentiful

views. this began with a climatic site analysis and an exploration of spacial

organization. I played first with the idea of spacial

organization in conjunction with maximizing views: the sky, the

adjacent skyline, or a combination of the two.

to create an additional inspirational view to the private

spaces in the rear of the building, i encased the middle in glass

to create a conservatory. this space serves as a desirable backdrop for many of the private rooms as well as creat-ing a visual screen and layer of pri-

vacy for those same rooms.

working in section was the primary exercise through the semester. this convention was used to explore blending the taller, public spaces with the more enclosed spaces of the opposite side of the residence. i looked at lev-els of “transparency” by both view of the other side of the residence and amount of literal viewports and open-

ings to the space.
