Design for Detail

Good Morning! This weekend we have been hard at work producing structural drawings to send to John Moore today for redlining.

First Impressions

Breaking the Ice There is always that pressure to make a good first impression when meeting someone new.

Studio Bonding

We met with the client on Wednesday and toured a few previous sites to get a feel for other community gardens that have been completed by Clemson Community Build students. This semester, we are joining with [...]
