👉 Keep learning. Keep building. Keep moving.

Yall, I recently saw this YT video featuring Aaron Ledet, AIA, and his story about studying architecture at Southern University, graduating in 2005.

What really caught my attention, graduating HS in 1991, was the realization that Southern University had an architecture program.

🤔 I’m realizing that the goal doesn’t have an expiration date. The route may look different than I originally imagined, but the destination can still be worth pursuing.

Sometimes the path doesn’t become clear until you’re ready to see it.

What does it REALLY take to survive an architecture program at Sout...

Remembering Frank Lloyd Wright today on the anniversary of his passing.

A visionary who redefined American architecture, Wright gave us timeless works like Fallingwater, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and Taliesin—each a testament to his belief that buildings should exist in harmony with their environment.

“Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.”

His legacy continues to shape how we see space, light, and the relationship between architecture and the world around us.

Location, location, location…
Not the neighborhood, but the powder room. 🚽

We’ve all seen it, a bathroom door opening straight into the kitchen, or a toilet sitting on the other side of a wall from the front porch window. 👀

Yes, I get it that builders try to consolidate plumbing.
But saving a few feet of pipe shouldn’t cost you comfort, privacy, and everyday experience.

Here are options:
• Extend the footprint to allow a landscaping buffer at the bathroom window 🌿
• Swap vanity + toilet so your back isn’t to the window
• Relocate stairs to fit a powder room underneath (not off the kitchen) 🏠

Use a few feet more of plumbing to protect privacy, sightlines, and like The Rock says, the smell of what is cooking?

New Southern Lab School 🏫

Being from Louisiana, I was surprised to see the new K–12 Southern Lab School project appear on LinkedIn.

Projects like this often take years to come together to allow for funding, planning, development, and construction.

I’m sure it will become a great learning environment and a strong bridge for students preparing to take the next step into university life.

An updated look at the future Southern University Baton Rouge Lab School. The new K–12 campus is designed to support collaborative learning, flexible classrooms, and spaces that connect students to each other and the outdoors. ...

Frank Gehry’s cameo on The Simpsons has always stood out to me because it perfectly shows how he thinks about form and geometry when he designs.

He had a way of blending new and old, traditional and modern, and making it all feel fresh.

🏘️Deck to Four Seasons Room Conversion

First real project for OD Green Design Studio!

I'm excited to share that my latest design is officially entering the Design Development phase after receiving full client approval. Now, I'm providing more information based on HOA requirements.

I’m genuinely enjoying the process from refining the concept to making sure every detail is safe, code-compliant, and thoughtfully designed.

Here are a few of the hand-drawn schematics and BIM schematic design sheets from the journey so far.
More to come!
