In the quaint town of Martinsville, where verdant hills are filled with cookie cutter houses, resides Junior Isabelle Hurst, an aspiring architect whose imagination knows no bounds. From her roots in this ‘close-knit’ community, she has cultivated a deep-seated passion for crafting spaces that inspire and uplift. Isabelle sketched different house designs. Isabelle said, “Every house has a story to tell.” She says, “I’m drawn to the way architecture can reflect the history, culture, and individuality of a community.” With each project, Isabelle strives to create spaces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional and sustainable. She believes that architecture has the power to improve lives and shape the future. Her innate understanding of both aesthetics and structural integrity is evident in every project she undertakes, as she seamlessly blends modern design with a reverence for the timeless. Her favorite style is 70’s mid century modern. Living in a small town has fostered in Isabelle a profound appreciation for the power of local connections and the importance of fostering a sense of place. To make the house fit the homeowner, not just anyone. Through her architectural endeavors, she aspires to create buildings that not only meet the needs of their occupants but also contribute to the fabric of the community, enriching the lives of those who live within them.
