🌟This is my third time at the AIA Conference on Architecture & Design. I’ve attended as a 2x speaker, an award recipient, and now an influencer partner. Every time, the most valuable moments happened in the hallway passings as much as the sessions.
Attending a national conference is an underrated career milestone. The exposure compounds.
San Diego. June 10–13. Drop “San Diego” in the comments for the registration link, or DM me if you want more info.

This replicable ALS-accessible home integrates smart technology, cross-laminated timber, and biophilic design.
Working with Matt’s Place Foundation, @millerhull created a sustainable, replicable 1,500-sq-ft home tailored to the needs of ALS patients’ and their family members or caretakers.
The carport and covered roof deck provide weather-protected spaces for the patient to move from vehicle to wheelchair safely and benefits from being in nature.
Cross-laminated timber walls and ceilings accommodate weather barriers, structural splines, recessed outlets, and accessible plumbing chases, while also providing a warm, biophilic environment for patient well-being.
The property is equipped with smart technology tailored for ALS patients, including home control systems operated by the occupant’s eye movements.

The owners came to the project with a commitment to restore this neglected site.
The terrain, and its transition from forest to meadow and then to Case Inlet resonated with the design team and clients.
Today the forest and meadow surround Longbranch, a family home with the serenity, warmth and timelessness that comes from the layering of authentic materials with attention to craft and detail.

Built in 1963 as the Dogan-Gaither Motor Court, this motel is now supportive housing to parolees, playing a redemptive role in an area with a rich African American business history.
Dogan-Gaither Flats provides counseling, work placement, and transitional skills training to formerly incarcerated individuals in the 16 dual-occupancy one-bedroom units.
