Hallie called Cleveland, OH home throughout her childhood and through much of her twenties. Her undergraduate studies in Architecture and Sociology at Kent State University led to a Masters of Architecture from the Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative. As a graduate student, she was entrusted to teach (but would rather say "coach") a core sophomore design studio in 2008. Hallie soon left the Midwest to launch her design career in Washington DC as Creative Director for the bold art/furniture store-gallery Skynear Designs (formerly Skynear and Company). Her smart graphic sense delivered the owners' 2011 vision for Skynear's fresh feel-good branding. Throughout her education, Hallie interned with AIA Ohio Gold firm Bialosky and Partners Architects, and now, years later has re-united with this dynamic office in Cleveland.
As an avid photographer (capturing everything from glowing brides to eerie landscapes), her crisp expressive images have been displayed across the States, in print, and at Skynear Designs.
She is facinated with agricultural (hi)stories, curiousities & lifestyles of the 1920s, genuine jazz (as they play in New Orleans) and narratives presented through film and graphic novels. Hallie aims in her work to use these interests as ingredients in architecture.
A modern eco-urban tale created by Ted Sikora, Diane Davis-Sikora, and Hallie DelVillan for the annual One Prize Competition (2010). The competition called for technical, urbanistic, and architectural strategies not simply for the food production required to feed the cities and suburbs, but the possibilities of diet, agriculture, and retrofitted facilities that could achieve that level within the constraints of the local climate and conditions. Our entry proposed re-purposing the disappearing infrastructure of churches as centers of cultivating and forwarding both civic and scientific green initiatives.

This graduate project proposed a Biotech facility in downtown Cleveland Ohio, a city with a well-known prestige in the medical sciences. Cloaking has evolved as a means of operating within the world of bio-science. There are moments for anonymity (private research, lab tests, etc) and exposure (lectures, expos, documentaries). This dichotomy began to shape the language of cloaking of space and architecture. With a program of 62,000 sf of purely lab-space, the remainder of the facility and of the site was left to the freedom of the designer to propose harmonizing program. Incredibly rich narratives emerge with the proposed Circle Expo (paying respects to Cleveland's University Circle), its adjoining outdoor theater, clever ground floor retail, and the Sky Research Park as a roofscape of the facility. The narratives and characters that would fill the site inspired a graphic-novel presentation of the project.

Welcome to Streetsboro, Ohio: a city that today we can drive through in a matter of minutes. The city is known as an intersection of major Northeast Ohio highways, a medium for commuters, travelers, truckers, and in general all Ohioans / Pennsylvanians.
The city was founded as an agricultural community; Cheese houses dotted Streetsboro putting it on the map in 1873 as one of the major cheese producers in the United States. The development of the interstate system evaporated this dimension of Streetsboro and firmly established it as a bedroom community for the region. Now, over 80 nationally recognized store brands populate a mile long strip starting at the intersection of Interstate 480 and the Ohio Turnpike (Interstate 80) and ending at the now eviscerated town square. Because of the temporal and cost-efficient character of big-box development, this project aims to explore / exploit Streetboro's roots of agriculture as a method in reclaiming a permanant city character. Jake Chandler and I propose an infrastructure of creamery villages that tap into benefits of food/product production, using abandoned big box structures, tourism, combating, creating recreational ammenities and preserving/activating the pockets of open land that still do exist.
