A mid-century modern residence on Idle Hour — opposing shed roofs, walls of glass to the pool, and covered porches blurring inside and out. Built with Padgett Construction.

A new distillery and bar settling into a historic Short Street storefront — blackened-steel infill set against carved limestone. Currently in demolition, with construction to follow.
Kentucky's first ground-up cannabis cultivation facility, set into the rural Kentucky landscape. Built in partnership with W Principles.
Modern infill townhome on Lexington's South Upper Street — board-and-batten cladding with concealed linear lighting, sited to claim the downtown skyline through full-height glazing and a roof-level terrace. Built with Sawyer Elder Construction.
A 19th-century firehouse on Louisville's Bardstown Road, renovated as offices. Italianate brickwork, the cornice, and the original engine-company medallion preserved; the engine-bay openings reglazed with blackened-steel sectional doors. Inside, exposed brick and a cast-iron spiral stair carry the industrial character forward.
A new family entertainment venue in Hamburg organized around a double-height atrium — full-height curtain wall, exposed steel mezzanines, and an open plan that lets the attractions read as the architecture.
An ongoing dealership program across Kentucky, West Virginia, and Ohio — repeating a disciplined retail-and-service prototype across rural commercial corridors while tailoring each building to its site.
A modern farmhouse on a Kentucky ridgeline, designed as a private gathering space for family and guests. Heavy timber porches and stone column bases anchor the building to the landscape; inside, a double-height great room, floating glass-rail stair, and live-edge bar set the stage for entertaining.
A long-running collaboration spanning bar, brewery, arcade, and outdoor stage. Multiple buildings designed in phases in Lexington's Distillery District, set along an active rail line and unified by an industrial vocabulary of dark corrugated steel, exposed wood truss, and live-edge wood.
Every project comes from one set of hands. That's the point. As a sole practitioner, I sit with each drawing — programming through punch list — without the handoffs and translation losses that dilute work in larger offices.
The studio runs on Revit, so the model is the source of truth. Coordination, quantity, and quality control happen in the same place the design happens.
Full-service from feasibility through construction administration. Commercial, hospitality, equestrian, and custom residential.
Production in Revit with disciplined modeling standards. Clean, coordinated documents on a quick turn.
Architect-led delivery with trusted contractors — single-point accountability, transparent pricing, fewer surprises in the field.
Drawings, progress shots, and the occasional jobsite oddity — the studio's working sketchbook between projects.
The sun never knew how great it was until it hit the side of a building.
