Cromwellian Drawbored Chair

The goal of this project was to master the construction of the drawbored mortise & tenon joint with hand tools, while exploring the relationship between Cromwellian furniture and modern minimalism.

Westminster Presbyterian Church: Pedestrian Entrance (Rugby Road, Charlottesville)

With Westminster Presbyterian Church’s original wall fighting a losing battle with an ancient Ash tree that must eventually be removed, I was asked to create a proposal for a new pedestrian entrance. The design includes elements of the current entrance, reflects preexisting curved retaining walls on the Church property, and invites interaction between UVA students, faculty, and community members, fulfilling the Church’s mission.

Rounded, soft shapes and materials are not a necessity for comfort. Careful attention to geometry and form alone can result in an extremely comfortable, relaxing seating experience. Here, this idea is taken to an extreme for the sake of design exploration.
