Sketched 10 years prior, this staircase was designed in Solidworks and (along with the required wood shop) fabricated on location.
Interactive Performance | DIA
An “opening act” for a heavily advertised musical performance taking place inside the DIA's Detroit Film Theater.
The attending patrons unknowingly drove over a road sensor on the one-way street in front of the theater as they arrived. Through custom software the sound of air blowing over a PA (inside the theater & out) as well as a nearby space heater that would determine body temperature were simultaneously triggered. An in-mouth contact mic amplified any teeth chattering, determined by the change in temperature controlled by the passing cars.
Storefront Makeover | Design99
This storefront redesign was inspired by Hamtramck's main shopping strip, Joseph Campau, which at the time was home to a local design store during a December holiday season.
Executed through custom-cut window vinyl. Custom-built light boxes light up the text at the top of the store's windows letting light pour from the bottom of the boxes simultaneously to illuminate the vinyl and Design99's fine wares. From the street the word 'Design' is only revealed at night when backlit. During the day, illuminated only by daylight, it reads 'Tis the Season'.
A variety of Hamtramck-specific characters doing various activities fill the bottom of the windows.
Studio Floor | House
The subfloor of upstairs studio: consists of 1" thick 4' x 8' concrete sheeting, floated on neoprene rubber strips to aid in acoustic dampening / isolation.
