|||||| HOLLY STRAVENUE DINING ROOM ADDITION ||||||⁠
This sweet little project was just recently approved for permitting and is scheduled for ground breaking soon. The design goals were to make the space feel open and bright, like an Arizona room, and to make the addition feel integrated to the rest of the house. This is achieved by closely repeating windows in the same proportions as the existing historic steel sash openings. To the west, a patio door opens up into a screened, Arizona room that will help shade the walls and windows from the intense afternoon sun. The owner, Racheal has been amazing to work with, and our contractor, Amanda , make this a girl power dream team!

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| MI CASITA ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
For the past few years, CUADRO has been working on community outreach and engagement for low-moderate income families who want to build casitas, or accessory dwelling units on their lots. This project has been made possible by generous funding from both the Vitalyst Foundation and the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona . Along with advocacy and education efforts, CUADRO is also developing a series of pre-approved model plans that will be available for lower cost. Stay tuned for future updates!

----THE RENDERING---⁠
This was a quick, 1-week project - a rendering commission from the Tucson Industrial Development Authority (TIDA) for the new Avanza Center, an exciting small business center that will bring together resources from the City of Tucson and TIDA. The rendering is an artistic depiction that captures the overall intent, feeling and mood of what a space could potentially look like. More dream than reality, a rendering is an important tool that can be used for grant submissions, marketing, fundraising or just overall visioning purposes. Having a clear vision early on in the process, even before diving into fully resolved plans can help clients communicate their project intent with others. For the designer, this quick exercise is also an important exploratory phase into the realm of possibility. If you would like to gather your dreams into a photo-real depiction like this one, DM me for details!⁠

---OUTDOOR LIVING---
This project is an exterior revamp for an existing, early 2000’s Southwestern Style home. The homeowner wanted to create an outdoor living area and a portico for the car at the entry. At the interior, the walls were opened up to create an indoor/outdoor connection to the exterior living area. The design repeats a similar language at the entry and at the rear yard that is a more modern take on Sonoran outdoor living. The large outdoor living space will shade the southern facade and the new large roofs will drain into water catchment basins.
