12. Technical Drawings of Tall Buildings

 

I used to work for The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, and recently they’ve hired me as a consultant to provide technical elevation drawings of tall buildings, both past, current and future.  I thought I would share these drawings with you as a single image.  See if you can guess the buildings… enjoy!

11. Award-Winning Creative Fiction Short Story

10. Cantilever Shelving for my Shoe Collection

Cantilever Shoe Rack

 

If you know me very well, you probably are aware of my love for well-crafted or unique shoes.  I designed and built this custom shelving unit specifically to organize my (excessively large) shoe collection.  The shelf spacing increases by one inch per shelf, allowing for a variety of shoes to be shown neatly.

09. Custom Display Case for Killion

Killion Display Case

Having recently graduated from architecture school, I’ve decided to pass the time while looking for a job by designing and building custom furniture.  This is a display case I designed and built for a small clothing boutique in the south loop of Chicago.  She wanted something that was mid-century modern, and my inspiration was taken from the Chest of Drawers by George Nelson.  Details include rounded corners and flush-mounted safety glass, with a pull-out drawer for access.
