Hana Checketts

Architecture Student and Visual Designer

Hi! I'm a fourth-year architecture student with a minor in Sustainability and the Built Environment, interested in exploring the power of design on human experiences. As an aspiring architect, I am fascinated by the built environment's influence on individuals and communities.

BDES YEAR 3 FALL SEMESTER

Interlude

This space is where diverse communities come together to practice, perform, and celebrate music. Much like an interlude in a musical performance—a pause that offers reflection and connection—this building provides a moment of respite and inspiration in the urban fabric of Charleston. It provides a place where college students, children, and locals can converge to share in the universal language of music.

Glassworks

This project envisions transforming a shuttered furniture store in Gainesville, Florida, into a creative glass-blowing studio. Located between the University of Florida campus and downtown, this space would serve as a hub for both students and local residents, bridging the gap between Gainesville's transient student population and its long-term community.

BDES YEAR 2 SPRING SEMESTER

Florida Altar

Florida Altar is about the intricate interplay of spirituality, death, nature, temporality, and of course, the Florida landscape. Our site, Cedar Keys, faces the threat of sea level rise. This impending temporality guides the idea of forming a space that embraces its eventual submersion and unification with the sea.

BDES YEAR 2 FALL SEMESTER

Tower

This project challenged me to think about how architecture needs to be culturally and socially responsive, reflecting occupant’s needs and integrating with its context. Our task was to design a tower that would graft onto the Torre de David.

BDES YEAR 1 SPRING SEMESTER

Ruins

Ruins explore how architecture can draw inspiration and react to sites where the function and integrity of previous architecture have evolved. This project explores how a space can be designed to be suitable for a hot air balloon launch, javelin throw, and Earth Room.

Door Window Stair

This project was all about exploring space by pulling from various existing media, ranging from "Creep" by Radiohead to the painting "Rooms by the Sea" by Edward Hopper, to design spaces catered to artists.
