Under Construction: Pow Wow Festival Installation

I've had the joy of collaborating with my very creative brother, artist Justin Wood, on an installation for the band 311's Pow Wow Festival at the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida.  The entire details of the concept you can read here.  Below are pictures of our mock-up and below that is the conceived final product.  Justin produces and creates video projections amongst many other endeavors.

Turn it up!

From the Boards: Student Housing Ideas

We've recently been tinkering with some concepts for an off-campus student housing type that includes living suites with shared amenities in an urban setting.  The units generally have four to five rooms with shared bathrooms, kitchen, and living room.  The ground floor could contain retail space or possibly building amenities such as a gym, lounge, or study areas.

The two styles presented are in stark contrast but show RJWA's ability and breadth of design expertise in a multiple of mediums.

Option 1

Option 2
