Client & Site:Terrapin Beer Co. is located on 265 Newton Bridge Rd in Athens, Georgia. Open Wednesday through Saturday from 5:30 to 7:30, this brewery allows one to try craft beers while enjoying live music and fresh air. Tours of the brewery are also available inside.

1) Senior Exit Project

Design ConceptInspiration taken from photographs of nature, guided Terrapin’s design concept. The straight simple and long lines derived from the photographs contrast with layered entangled winding shapes created from tree branches. This particular contrast is used throughout the tasting area’s straight angular wooden beams on top of stone pillars, and in the metal ceiling panels over both the interior and exterior stages. The long linear twist derived from the road in the second photograph contrasts with the shorter spiky grass. These contrasting concepts directly relate to the design of the light fixtures placed in the main tasting areas.

Parco Via San Trinita, a new park near the University of Georgia campus, responds to community interest in an English language summer camp. The park includes a linear playground along the previously unused Via San Trinita, an open fi eld, a covered area for instruction, and multiple eating areas. When not in use for camps, Parco Via San Trinita remains open to the public and transistions based on seasonal needs. Visitors can choose between a casual picnic with food from vending machines or a sit down restaurant watching kids play on one of the only fi elds in Cortona, Italy.

Constellations and the stories associated with them can teach lessons and values to many, simliar to the discipine and order that comes with the traditional japanese tea ceromony. Inspired by constellations this tea house is designed for the night ceronmony, Yogomi, and allows for star gazing by having an open roof. The tall surrounding bamboo fence encloses the space while moon flowers, and details in door handles along with dark wood stain remind the visitor that this teas house is reflecting the night sky.

Inspired by the song “Oh” by Eric Hutchinson this four story space starts at the bottom floor and transitions from a closed off room full of mirrors and darkness into a open room surrounded by light from windows. As one ascends up the stairs they continue to see less of themselves in their relfection and more of the outside world. This parallels the song’s message of one opening up their mind and becoming selfless.
