DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY STUDIO V OF THE CLEMSON ARCHITECTURE CENTER IN CHARLESTON
The semester is coming to a close and so is our time with Redux.

We had been tasked with completing a [...]
With about a week and a half left of the design build, we are pushing out the final changes in our both our construction documents and mockups. We have begun to physically build the bar and reception desk. The components of our three moving walls have been ordered, and the studs are to be cut [...]
