"He, She & It," designed by architecture professors Stephanie Davidson and Georg Rafailidis, is a collection of three distinct buildings for three spatial needs, collaged into one structure. The 1,400-square-foot building in Buffalo's Parkside neighborhood houses work spaces for a painter ("he") and a ceramist/silversmith ("she"), and a greenhouse (for "it" - seedlings and plants). Each space features a distinctive atmosphere for its respective user. The project engaged several architecture students as interns across all phases, from design to permitting and construction drawing to presentation modeling.
