Through careful consideration of space and construction technique, Orders projects are functional and efficient. Through focus on shape and material, these same projects are playful and surprising. The resulting spaces are a mise-en-scène for daily life where people can be curious and relaxed, fully immersed in the present moment. I am currently working on residential projects in Chicago, but I also have experience with commercial, hospitality, institutional and educational projects.

I worked with architects Vivian Lee and James Macgillivray on a book of contemporary building practice case studies. The book is scheduled for publication in early 2015. My work included background research (on firms, projects, contract structure and construction techniques), conducting interviews with project managers, and writing draft chapters of the book.

I assisted John and Julia McMurrough (studioAPT) on the design of “Platform for Architecture.” The Platform is an experiment in domestic space, used as a stage set for “Makin’ It,” a half-hour situation comedy about architecture. “Makin It” was screened at the Taubman College Research Through Making Exhibition in Ann Arbor, Michigan during March 2013.My work included background research, design studies, diagrams, models, and construction drawings. I also created a brief animation advertising The Platform, screened with “Makin’ It” at the project’s exhibition. Additionally, I assisted Studio APT on summer competition entries.

I assisted on the design, fabrication, and shipment of Milligram Office’s 2012 Venice Biennale installation “Site Double.” The installation references a previous Milligram project in Detroit, translating it for exhibition in Venice’s Arsenale.My work included design studies, drawings, physical models, digital models (made in Rhinoceros 4), construction of wooden portions of the installation, and packaging the installation for shipment to Italy.

I built the model of McLain Clutter's Detroit Shapescape. The Shapescape is part of Clutter's Radical Railbanking project.

I co-founded and administered an alternative arts space in a converted warehouse. Programming included art and design exhibitions and performances by internationally touring experimental musicians. Open Lot continues today, primarily as studio space for St. Louis-based artists.
