Gravity 2.0
Columbus OH
Completed 2023
Gravity Phase 2.0 is an extension of the brand created by Kaufman Development and nbbj. The project was the first of it’s kind, making an ambitious project for an area of Central Ohio that always had great potential, but was overlooked. The brand is focused around wellness, and offers residents travel possibilities, fitness classes, social events, and more every month.
The design sought to stand out in the within the city. The forms, materials, and common spaces are unique, but reflect a history of the working class neighborhood where it’s sited. Gravity is adjacent to the CSX lines, a constant reminder of the working engine that is Columbus.
The design is both economical and dramatric. The Mixed Use Building at 12 floors tall, used prefabricated high performance concrete panels for the facade, while the Murphy Office Building used cheap Pac-Clad metal profiles for the majority of it’s exterior.
The entire layout of the development aimed to connect North-to-South, East-to-West, making the one cohesive built-up density with art, urban living, and community at it’s core.

Design
The complete buildings, projects, or design work were the product of collective work from many people, however, all booklets, sketches and the website were of my own making.
More to Come
