Which project with Mark Odom Studio are you most proud of?

—

The BKCW office building is one of the first buildings I noticed in Austin, due to my fascination with mid-century designs and adaptive reuse projects. It wasn't until a couple years after that I realized it was a m(ødm) project. I appreciate the project's authenticity - maintaining the original structure while breathing new life into the building with modern ceiling heights and an open layout.

Hobbies? 

Fascinated by anything with wheels or an engine.

Favorite snack?

Guacamole

Can you list one space or structure that inspired you when you were little?

The UNF Student Union - A building I got to visit many a time during its construction and design.

What is one thing most people don’t know about you? 

I had a snake when I was a kid but I lost it in the house for a week and I'm not sure if my mom ever forgave me.
