Learn concerning the Chapel in Dwell Magazine
Constructed on the banks of Lake Bastrop for the Boy Scouts of America, this interfaith chapel kinds a contemplative second inside the pine forest close to Austin. The simplicity of the body geometry performs off the country high quality of the cedar members. Every of the 22 frames consists of members interconnected with metal plates. The equivalent frames, bundled collectively horizontally by two cables in pressure, rotate incrementally to create an arcing in plan. For the reason that decrease members are wider and develop into narrower towards the highest, the higher members don’t contact and are free to sway within the wind. The fluid high quality of the body rotation, just like the motion of water within the lake past, additionally implies mutability, a personality that strengthens the constructing’s kind to its objective as an interfaith chapel.

As an architecture and interior designer, I am passionate about creating spaces that inspire and delight those who inhabit them. With over a decade of experience in the industry, I have honed my skills in both the technical aspects of design and the art of crafting beautiful, functional spaces.
After earning my degree in architecture, I began my career working for a prestigious firm where I was exposed to a wide range of projects, from commercial buildings to high-end residential properties. During this time, I developed a keen eye for detail and a deep appreciation for the importance of form and function in design.
In recent years, I have struck out on my own, founding my own design studio where I have been able to further explore my passion for interior design. I believe that a well-designed space can transform the way people live and work, and I take pride in working closely with clients to understand their needs and create spaces that exceed their expectations.
Throughout my career, I have been recognized for my innovative and creative approach to design, and have been honored with a number of awards and accolades. When I’m not working on design projects, you can find me exploring the outdoors or seeking inspiration in the world around me.
