Stylistically the building takes cues from the presbyterian tradition in both its form and materiality making use of natural materials found in historical precedents located in the United States and Europe.

Beware of the Dandelions is a mobile art installation that functions as a performance, workshop space, and visual arts exhibition. The piece intersects disciplines including: community organizing, design, hip-hop and electronic music, architecture, and theater. The performance and generative design are projected onto the surface of the pod to create an immersive visual and sound experience that incorporates science-fiction, projections, songs, and interactive game elements.
This project has issued across x3 theater scales, which were designed to strategically engage various performance distances ( smaller = further )

"...it is a technologically advanced interactive sculpture that combines the sophistication and nuance of Martin Puryear’s sculptures with the skeletal yet functional architecture of Mies van der Rohe. Described briefly, it is a 400-square-foot geometric pod structure composed of several somewhat opaque screens. Being inside it is like being ensconced inside a strangely luminous diamond"

Red Bull Arts Detroit is a cultural venue within Detroit’s Eastern Market which is known for its experimental programming and robust artist support mechanisms. Their goal with this new interior was to have the localized and collaborative methods of their work translate into a graphic and wonderful environment. The various interior spaces and custom objects have qualities which are highly precise and recognizable while also being somewhat strange. This uncanny nature was produced through the utilization of ordinary materials and products in new and often ridiculous ways; a methodology borrowed from both science fiction and fashion industries which was in-turn facilitated through RBAD's on-site Laguna CNC. The project specifically consists of over x100 sheets of custom milled, extra thick, “A” grade fir plywood, oversized and “extinct” faux finishes, chubby dowels, nubs, and pegs derived from 1000+ baseball bat billets, big-wavy-finger joints, and custom wool upholstery woven in Great Britain and sewn on Detroit's East Side.

In 2004, the council began searching for a new location that spoke art. They found it in the Brady Arts District, a neighborhood with deep Tulsa roots and an up-and-coming arts scene.
AHCT collaborated with artists, educators, curators, preparators, administrators, technicians, galleries, arts facilities, and the community. At every turn, the Council asked: How will this positively impact our mission? How will this make the arts more accessible? These questions became the unspoken mantra of the design process.
Fitting into a historic district and maintaining an aesthetic that speaks art to the community was an important design consideration. The honest materials, so prevalent within the Brady Arts District, drove the design vocabulary.
Perforated metal panels, extensive glazing and exposed concrete walls speak to the authenticity of the industrial aesthetic in the district. But when used in a seemingly different way, they truly speak art to the community. The collaboration between the site and the mission of the AHCT helped create a facility that is honest, almost to a fault.
