Listen to your neighborhood.
Shit is happening.

A computer aided model of this sculpture.
Here’s the original sketchboard.

We’re all addicted
to copper.

Some of us
cup it to our ears
all day long.

With this device,
you can listen to copper
and the outdoors
at the same time.

It is incredibly useful.

This was a group project.
I can only take credit for a few chainsaw cuts and some sanding.

This chair was built as a therapeutic space for a client with some psychological disorders.
The organic shapes throughout the chair are very calming, and there’s a little wood knocker to fidget with.

Oh my.

This was a group project for Vernacular Architecture class.

Together, we raised the standard stud frame wall.
We each designed our own fills.

I think it’s both messy AND beautiful.

i got tangled

on lusty shoelaces.
that’s why
i’m stairing

bite the bullet.

What are you waiting for?
Draw your steps kids!

long story short
we’re all copper addicts
or soon to be

Idea number one for my ground latch project. A way to let sound into the home in the wintertime.

It’s hard to let go of a beautiful thing.

For those of you that couldn’t make the show.
This is (pert-near) what the Vesper ice shanty looks like.

I’ll post real pictures when it’s out on the ice.

Every time I’ve been working on this thing “Love Shack” is on repeat in my head.

This is the materialization of the big head structure that I’ve been drawing for a couple years now.
You can find an example here or here … and there are many more scattered throughout the site.

The concept:
We can not determine the actual use of an architectural structure. We can design buildings with an INTENDED use in mind, but we can not predict how they will ACTUALLY be used (i.e. a movie theater can be used for many disgusting things, beyond watching a bad movie).

Along those same thought lines, we ALL perceive the same reality differently. We don’t know the truth about truth. We only know that we all perceive.

I see this as an opportunity, because the ONLY thing an architectural structure can POSSIBLY be used for (at least the only thing we KNOW it can be used for) IS perception.

That’s why I’ve made Perpetual Perceptual.

This is a humble abode designed purely for your perception.

Lots of “FIRST”s for such a tiny architectural structure.
This is the FIRST architectural structure designed with perception as THE intended use.
This is the FIRST architectural structure that is successful in delivering it’s intended use to ALL of it’s occupant’s.
This is the FIRST architectural structure that we actually KNOW is functioning.
*I am aware that some of these “FIRST”s are only perceptions.

Price includes delivery and installation to the lower 48 states.
Custom perceptual abodes available. Just contact me.

This is a 2″ = 1′ model of this. The terminus was also featured in the sneak peak section a couple days ago here.

This stone coffin captures three ounces water and allows it to be swallowed by the earth’s big belly. That’s why its called esophaguys sarcophagus.

And
…
I really like to rhyme.
