Biography

Ben’s interest in phenomenology manifests itself in a design approach that holistically considers the facility of spaces to enrich and empower the human experience. He is interested in how buildings look only inasmuch as how that contributes to the way buildings make you feel. This drive manifests in designs that are rich at many scales while still remaining intuitive and ergonomic.

Ben began his career by winning SARUP’s annual thesis prize (2019). He then spent a number of years working at de Leon & Primmer in Louisville, KY. There, he spent time working on cultural projects such as the award-winning Locust Grove Event Pavilion, and the Lloyd Library & Museum, as well as a number of single family residences. He currently works at The Kubala Washatko Architects as a designer, project architect, and project manager.
