As Built's is a series of documentary-style drawings of residential properties—primarily located across the San Francisco Bay Area—that reclaims the contractor's term "as-built" to examine the friction between individual expression, municipal codes, and cultural aesthetics.

By precisely redrawing these homes from photographs, the project relies on the abstract space of architectural line-work to spotlight the strange, often-missed realities of everyday neighborhoods that literal photography can mute or obscure. The drawings deliberately capture the irregular, non-conforming augmentations and external "stuff" of real-world homes, revealing a contrast between a house's strictly regulated front facade and the highly idiosyncratic, unpermitted additions that flourish along its sides and back.

This analytical collection uncovers a deep confluence of forces between personal property preferences and strict regulatory oversight. It demonstrates how local planning and preservation codes exert total dominance over the street-facing public facade, while inadvertently granting a hidden, chaotic freedom to the rest of the structure. Ultimately, the series reveals techniques for navigating contemporary architectural practice and research, proving that the most authentic cultural expressions frequently occur just outside the boundaries of compliance. 

As Built Drawings: Revised set of drawings submitted by a contractor upon completion of a project or a particular job that reflect all changes made in the specifications and working drawings during the construction process including exact dimensions, geometry, and location of all elements.
