The Drakestone Tower Renovation
5G Studio Collaborative
Completed 2019
© Headington/Drakestone 2019
Originally built in 1926 as the Republic Bank Building, the
345,000 SF Davis Building (rebranded as Drakestone),
was one of the first residential conversions in downtown
in 2003. The 183 apartment units underwent significant
upgrades to interior finishes and fixtures, mechanical
systems and a complete facade restoration. Resident
amenity spaces and a grand lobby were reconfigured.

ROOFTOP AMENITY
Greenhouse structure with 20’ high sidewalls
was erected as a “solarium” resident amenity.
Cupola reclaimed from private unit to become
amenity for all building residents to enjoy. Pool
configuration was simplified and added much
needed shading device over the pool.
HISTORIC CUPOLA RECONSTRUCTION
Original steel structure clad in terracotta was
severely deteriorating to point of imminent
failure. Dallas Landmark Commission granted
approval to reconstruct the structure in
place to match original size and appearance
using GFRC as a substitute material. GFRC
was the only material that would allow for
modern waterproofing over the steel frame
while maintaining original three dimensional
specifications.
LOBBY FOR ARTWORK
We converted the former retail space into
grand lobby with artwork and seating for
the public during business hours. Leasing is
located beyond the steel frame storefront with
antique leaded glass. Materials and spatial
components are time period appropriate for the
1926 bank building. Meanwhile, an undulating
ceiling floats over the space in distinct modern
contrast to materials at human-scale.

Urby embodies dense urban living with community focus
to provide a truly unique community living experience.
Two 27-story 330,000 SF residential towers are tied
together at ground level by low-rise retail buildings
along the street, with a resident only lush pool garden
tucked behind the public facade. 215,000 SF Structured
parking and a future office tower are situated behind the
towers along a creek and recreation trail.

divide the facade into playful rhythm,

stacked with the exception of exterior

Completed 2017
Vue32 is a mixed-use project aspiring to strengthen its
neighborhood infrastructure by converting an unused
parking lot into 180,000 SF of market rate housing (164
units) and 40,000 SF of much needed pre-K childcare
programming. The 14 residential levels are identical for
planned efficiency. Amenity spaces are concentrated on
the lower and upper levels, including a rooftop terrace
providing sweeping views of the downtown skyline.

The exterior envelope is a mix of concrete precast and
prefabricated panels. The precast is articulated with
two levels of sandblast finish and dye accents. The
prefabricated, 3-story panels are a mix of honed and
polished thin format porcelain tile and composite metal
panel on a modified ventilated rainscreen system. Both
systems are high-efficiency yet cost-effective.

The 1,415 bed residential program is organized around
smaller communities (pods) of 35-40 students in a
college house experience with a series of integrated
lounges to foster social interaction among residents.
The project was awarded in Feb 2015 based on the
promise of a July 2016 completion, which gave the
design team and construction crew only 18 months to
design, document and build the 303,000 SF complex!

Outer Skin
Oval

The building is organized along a
gradual curve formed by six distinct
radii. A manicured, formal oval lawn
is situated at the end of the curve,
providing a terminus to the existing
pedestrian campus greenway. The
landscape surrounding the outer ring
of the building is in direct contrast
to the formal lawn, with a mix of
meadow grasses and naturally
low-growing grass species. As you
approach the southern apex of the
building, you will encounter a new
entry portal to the oval lawn.
The interior of the building is driven
by student interaction. Each floor is
divided into pods. Connecting the
seven-story wing to the four-story
wing are a series of wide bridges,
that act as informal pop-up gathering
spaces for students to study or relax.

Nearly 50 million Americans live in food insecure
households, including 15 million children. To have
food security, one must achieve a combination of food
availability, food access, and food utilization. The Food
Security Collaborative will develop transformative
solutions to create greater food security through
improvements in agricultural vitality.

The institute is planned for construction on the 257-acre
Waterman Farm at the OSU Columbus Campus. The
facility is prudently positioned on the site to utilize existing
infrastructure, promote proximity and mix of uses, and
conserve and make efficient use of limited land resources.
Set within a picturesque agricultural landscape, the
institute blends synthetic growing spaces with more
traditional methods of food production.

this agricultural grain bin brewery is smart and efficient
in its use of space, time and materials. I played a
formative role in the design development of this project,
working through various planning layouts with the client

“The Shed” is an adaptive reuse of an existing
industrial WW2 tank production facility into an activated
pedestrian space and central plaza for a building
complex redeveloped as offices and creative studios. I
was in charge of schematic modelling, image rendering,
and Construction Documents, including detailed
drawings of custom landscape elements.

During my time as a Designer and Project Manager
on weeHouse projects, I learned a great deal about
modular construction, precision in drawing coordination,
scheduling, and anticipating potential items that might
cause unwanted delays. The weeHouse model is very
contemporary, efficient, and spacious while minimizing
the overall building footprint. They have clean lines,
simple forms, and timeless finishes and materials.

months, while allowing the low winter
sun to penetrate the facade. A passive

gel set behind hot-rolled steel panels
and thermal mass floor are heated by
the sun during cold months.

Custom fabrication elements are abundant throughout
the design. The primary focus of my efforts was on the
folding roof structure over an addition to this 1950s
ranch house. Solar control during the changing seasons
strongly influenced the form. A rich, organic color pallet
is used on the exterior, including weathering steel,
natural cedar and slate landscaping.

The bedrooms are located on ground level, while the
main living and entertaining space is elevated above
