SAN PEDRO CREEK FOLLY
SAN PEDRO CREEK RUNS FROM SAN PEDRO PARK THROUGH DOWNTOWN SAN ANTONIO. ALONG THE CREEK ARE A SERIES OF FOLLIES. MY FOLLY WAS LOCATED ON DURANGO BLVD. BY THE HEADQUARTERS OF BILL MILLERS BBQ. THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE SITE IMPLEMENTS A PROMONADE WHICH LEADS THROUGHT THE FOLLY AND UNDER DURANGO BLVD CREATING AN EXTENSION OF THE CREEK. AS YOU APPROACH THE FOLLY YOU ARE TAKEN THROUGH A NEW PARK CREATING SHADE AND A GATHERING SPACE. ONCE YOU REACH THE FOLLY, CUSTOMERS CAN PURCHASE A FRESH FRUIT DRINK FROM THE INTEGRATED JUICE SHOP ON THE CREEKLEVEL. AS YOU CONTINUE TO THE NEXT FOLLY YOU EXPERIENCE ANOTHER PROMONADE OF BAMBOO GARDENS.

HOSTEL / RESTAURANT
THE NEW BOUTIQUE HOSTEL / RESTAURANT IS LOCATED IN DOWNTOWN SAN ANTONIO ON THE HISTORIC RIVERWALK. THE SITE IS LOCATED ON ST. MARY’S STREET AND IS A FORMER SPORTING GOODS STORE. IT ENCOMPASSES TWO 20 - STORY HOTELS TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH, AS WELL AS A PARKING GARAGE TO THE NORTH. THE BUILDING CONNECTS THE RIVERWALK TO ST. MARY’S. MY CONCEPT WAS HOW THE PROPOSEDHOSTEL AND RESTAURANT CAN BE A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF SAN ANTONIO

ROWHOUSE UNIT
THE CLIENT FOR THE ROWHOUSE IS A INSOMNIAC SOMNOMBULIST. THE CONCEPT WAS REPITITION BASED UPON HOW INSOMNIACS CANNOT SLEEP SO EVERYNIGHT BECOMES THIS LINEAR REPITITION EVERYNIGHT. REPITITION WAS USED THROUGHOUT THE ROWHOUSE AS A MODULAR DESIGN. THREE MOD-ULES WERE PLACED IN THE LOT. OTHER WAYS REPITITION WAS REPRESENTED WAS THROUGHOUT THE FURNITURE, STRUCTURE, AND MATERIALS. ALONG THE SOUTHEAST SIDE IS A CURTAIN WALL WITH AN OPERATIVE WOODEN SCREENED FACADE TO ADJUST FOR WIND, SUN AND PRIVACY. THE STEEL STRUCTURE IS LO-CATED ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE UNIT FOR PASSIVE SOLAR DESIGN TO KEEP THE INTERIOR WARM DURING NIGHTS AND THE WINTER TIMES.
