get your head out of my helmet
This project began with Jeremy. Jeremy is a metalworker and carpenter who works in the wood shop of the architecture building. The project was to interview Jeremy and find out what he needs and wants in a live-work space focused on his metalworking. Jeremy has two small children, and insisted on a physical separation of the live and work spaces due to the messy nature of metalworking. There is grime and dirt created during metalworking that cannot be avoided and should stay out of a home. The site is a four story high vertical slice of the John H. Daniel building in Knoxville's Old City. The lowest level serves as the storefront and workshop to Jeremy's business, while the upper levels are for living space. The living space can be accessed via a ramp from the first floor, or a door in the shared hallway of the rest of the apartments in the building.
