On today's episode of Architectette we chat with Jes Deaver. Jes is an architect at Nick Deaver Jes Deaver Architecture. She grew up in New England and Texas which encouraged her to develop an interest in people's place and the environment. She holds a Master of Architecture Degree from the University of Houston Graduate School of Architecture and Design and a Bachelor of Science Degree in Radio-TV-Film from the University of Texas at Austin. She currently lectures on the craft of storytelling and film-making to elevate new and underrepresented voices within the design community. She was the 2020 AIA Austin Women in Architecture Committee Chair and has served on the Texas Society of Architects Public Outreach Task Force. Jes will join the Huckabee College of Architecture as H. Deane Pierce Endowed Visiting Assistant Professor for the 2024-2025 academic year.  Our episode today takes on a special format as we focus our conversation on Jes' recent project, OFFBeat. We'll jump right into the episode to talk about this gorgeous residence in Austin, Texas, but be sure to check out the show notes where you can read more about the project, check out photos, and follow along with our conversation. Project Information:  Name: OFFBeat Location: Austin, Texas Size: 2,128 Sf Completed: 11/2023  Architect: Nick Deaver Jes Deaver Architects Builder: Form to Finish Landscape Architecture: Studio 8sc Structural Engineer: Steinman Luevano Structures Photography: Leonid Furmansky, Raymond Castro Project Description: A retired couple from Palo Alto dreamed of building a new home in Austin and becoming part of a central city, pedestrian-focused neighborhood where modest homes intertwine with nature. The 1930's structure, located at the crook of a gently rising street, was uninhabited for over a decade. A pair of old live oaks occupy the center of the rhombus-shaped property, and the quirky, storybook style cottage was perched 4 feet above a deceptively sloping ground plane.  The single-story design reimagines the 1,192 sf original house as a portal from the romantic cottage landscapes into elemental spaces participating with nature. The sequence of interior space begins with a rectangular entry revealing the idiosyncrasies of the gabled roof above. New living spaces are a destination past saddlebag offices and the owner's suite. A white steel and natural timber carport and rear arbor, in concert with a screen porch of cypress sticks and a 35' cantilevered concrete bench, link the architecture to the urban forest beyond. Inside, matte white gallery walls contrasting rough and smooth cypress elements along with natural and designed light, make the art ordinary and the ordinary art. Narrow rooms with slender openings direct air through the spaces.  Links: Connect with Jes on LinkedIn OFFBeat on Firm Website NDJD Instagram OFFBeat in Residential Design Magazine Tour OFFBeat with AIA Austin!

Alan Keith Barley is the Co-owner and Principal of Barley|Pfeiffer Architecture. Barley|Pfeiffer Architecture was founded in 1989 by principals Alan K. Barley and Peter L. Pfeiffer. Bringing different strengths to bear, Alan's ability to hear what clients want and his ability to use innovative ideas to create elegant spaces compliment Peter's strong building-science background and practical approach to construction. BPA is a LEED-certified firm that practices Green By Design. Believing that 90% of effective green building decisions happen in the first 10% of the design process supports the importance of regionally appropriate design decisions and building systems integration. Rather than simply making sustainable material choices we go beyond the present green building paradigm.Alan's career began in San Antonio, working for local firms while an architectural student at San Antonio College. He was fortunate to work with well-known architects Richard Mogas and Joe Stubblefield who mentored him for several years. Under their tutelage, he developed a keen appreciation for utilizing regionally appropriate natural materials which has imbued his work with a distinctively central Texas flare. This background reinforces the Barley|Pfeiffer Architecture commitment to the number one premise of sustainable architecture – regionally appropriate design.Alan continued his education at the University of Texas at Austin, graduating in 1985 with a Bachelor of Architecture Degree. To add depth to his commercial experience, Alan joined the Austin Group Architects in 1986 where he helped design and produce several commercial offices, warehouse structures, business parks, and apartment complexes. He was one of the principal designers in the Cedar Park City Hall competition, winning first place.Venturing on his own in 1987, Alan completed projects for noted games software designer Richard Garriott, and the World of Pentecost Sanctuary expansion. He joined forces with Peter Pfeiffer in 1989 to form Barley|Pfeiffer Architecture. Since then, the firm's architectural projects have been featured nationally in Fine Homebuilding, USA Today, Better Homes and Gardens, Natural Home & Garden, Environmental Design & Construction as well as in regional publications including Texas Architect, the Dallas Morning News, Austin Monthly, the Austin American Statesman, and Tribeza.To date, more than a third of all the highest-rated (Five Star) homes in the history of the Austin Green Building Program – the nation's most established – have been designed by Alan.

The Sydney Bachelor of Architecture degree has a lively history. It was open to men and women from its first offering in 1918, but the inclusion of women was controversial. In 1972 a student strike shut down the school for two weeks; students demanded the degree be remade. "In 1926... the University of Sydney put forward Marjorie [Holroyde nee] Hudson, a female student, for the award; and this really set the cat amongst the pigons. And the document we have from the Board of Architects minutes effectively gives every single battle that women had to fight in terms of equality in the profession." Daniel Ryan You might think that university degrees are fairly static cultural products, that change slowly and in line with the often-lethargic institutions they’re created within. But university degrees perhaps reflect the world back to us, just as much as their purpose is to shape the world around us. In this sense, university degrees are firmly located in society. They’re a cultural product of society. They ebb and flow with the times. They adapt and change to suit the current social and political mood; and they should always be on the frontiers of the latest ideas. But sometimes these ideas need to be challenged. “When we look at the history of the school - the history of any institution - we can recover the motivations behind the decision that have been taken over time”. Professor Andrew Leach This episode of City Road is not your usual fare. We're talking with Professor Andrew Leach, Associate Professor Lee Stickells, Daniel Ryan and Catherine Lassen about a book on the history of the School of Architecture, Design and Planning at the University of Sydney. The book is edited by Andrew and Lee, and our four guests have all written chapters. We’ve pulled four excerpts out of the book to tell you about the secret life of the Architecture Degree at the University of Sydney. And it’s a story that goes in some strange directions. From the way the 1960s and 70s counter-culture movements and the ideas around free speech, civil rights, feminism, and anti-war dissent radically reshaped what was happening inside the university; "Architecture schools around the world are also impacted by this broader dissent, they're often part of it." Lee Stickells To the way the ideas within the academy of architecture more broadly shaped the degree program. Writing about the work of Professor Jennifer Taylor (1935-2015) and her 1972 book Australian Identity: Houses for Sydney 1953-63, Catherine Lassen says; "In good architecture, absolutely, there's an internalising of the questions, and those things are up for grabs".
