The work

Small, medium, large, extra large.

Koolhaas and Mau organised a career by size in 1995, and the structure has been borrowed ever since. I am borrowing it at a fraction of the scale, and I would rather say that plainly than let the framing imply a body of work I have not built. My extra-large is somebody else's small.

The ordering earns its place for a different reason. The same question recurs at every scale — how does a person actually live here, and what does keeping it alive cost? — and the answers transfer far less cleanly than you would hope. An object teaches you tolerances. Land teaches you patience. A company teaches you that the org chart is the product. Each one humbled the lesson before it.

Some of what follows is finished. Some is shelved. Some is a concept I have no right to call a project yet, and is labelled that way.

SObjects Things you can pick up, tow, or build in a shed. Where I learned tolerances, materials and the discipline of a bill of materials.

NS-1

An all-electric, off-grid trailer built to answer whether a person could carry the conditions for a good life with them.

The Shed

A backyard shed, built first so that the thing it was for could be built at all.

MStructures Buildings and shelters. Where the question stops being what it weighs and starts being how it is entered, lit, heated and left.

DigiDome

A jointed timber dome, cut by machine and assembled by hand — digital fabrication as a route to structure.

LLand Watersheds, campuses, forest. Where you stop designing the thing and start designing the conditions, then wait.
REF-18img/campus.jpg · The land itself — forest, a road, a building sitting in weather. No people needed.
2025 – 2026ongoing

A mountain campus

2,400 acres of ponderosa forest at 7,700 feet, fifteen cabins, a lodge, hot springs — and a year and a half learning what large systems do well and what they fail to deliver.
REF-21img/water.jpg · Water doing its own work — a drainage, a headcut healing, a wet meadow, rain moving through ground.

Closed-loop water

Treating a household as a watershed — rain and greywater captured, cleaned and returned to use on site, with the well as backup rather than source.

XLSystems Companies, operating models, economies. Where the design object is who decides what, and who gets what.
REF-22img/campworks-team.jpg · The company as people — the team, the shop floor, a group at work. The most human frame you have.

Campworks

The company around the object — and the place I learned that the org chart is the product.
REF-23img/studio.jpg · The desk, the wall, the current work in progress. Process, not polish.

TVH Ventures

A venture studio built on the correction — regenerative by design, systems before objects, AI-native from day one.
