Jeremy Huelin is an architectural designer from Tennessee, currently calling Memphis home while pursuing architectural licensure in the office of Hord Architects. Jeremy holds a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Cornell University. Jeremy can be reached for any inquiries, whether professional or purely inquisitive, at (731) 343-8926 or jeremy.huelin@gmail.com.
Jeremy's experience spans the breadth of the profession, having worked as a laborer in both commercial and residential construction, as an intern architect in a traditional firm, and in the art world as a studio assistant to the photographer and sculptor James Casebere. Jeremy realizes his own projects largely through iterative model making across scales and material. Designing under his own name, Jeremy has seen two projects completed: a small cabin in Ithaca, New York and a homeless shelter for women and children in Dryden, New York.
While studying at Cornell, Jeremy was honored to receive several design awards, most notably the William S. Downing Thesis Prize. The prize was bestowed for the construction of a small dwelling he lived in with a partner while building it, learning from the consequences of his own design decisions and accepting biological, communal, ecological, and material challenges as opportunities to discover beauty through the process of making in such an environment.
This house is a microcosm of Jeremy's vision for architectural practice. Design should be an act of service that honors and engages people, place, and the natural and built environments in the making and occupation of buildings.
Such a contextual approach aims to beget buildings that hold the paradox of being both rooted and novel. A project finds its feet standing on local culture, tradition, material, and craft, but remains novel in pursuit of spaces that move beyond pure function to provoke the childlike wonder that captures the heart when formerly unimagined beauty is encountered.Jeremy believes that stability and wonder, when present in the acts of building and dwelling, help in some small way to facilitate and dignify human life that it might flourish.
