Midtown Athletic Club Rochester, NY | Bannockburn, IL | Willowbrook, IL DMAC Architecture Project Managers: Zach Klaas, Jeremy Leech, Kris Yokoo Project Responsibilities: Drafting, Documentation, Renderings, Consultant Coordination, Fabrication & Construction, 3D Printing & Laser Cutting Technician DMAC Architecture has become a pivotal part of Midtown Athletic Club’s plans to renovate and rebrand its clubs across the country. Rochester, Bannockburn and Willowbrook are three of Midtown’s eight clubs, all completed between 2020-2021. Rochester involves a 58,000 square-foot renovation and the addition of an 8,000 square-foot indoor pool, currently under construction. The new design takes advantage of multiple split levels to create a flow from large scale public spaces such as the cardio & weight training area to much more private spaces including the cycling studio, spa & restaurant. Bannockburn includes a renovation and a 32,000 square-foot addition with an expanded cafe and more branded fitness. The arrival to the club is highlighted with a feature stair directly under the bi-level skylit atrium. The project’s layout radiates the public workout areas around this skylight, while the more intimate studios nestle themselves inbetween these bands. Willowbrook offered a unique opportunity for our office to participate in a design-build capacity. Myself and other members of the office were on-site throughout the project participating in demolition and construction. Under the circumstances of the covid pandemic and with a much more modest budget than the other clubs, Willowbrook’s design repurposed multiple materials salvaged during demolition. Most notably, the old basketball court was cut into two-foot sections and refinished, becoming parque flooring for the dance studio in the lower level.

Graduate Hotel Evanston, IL DMAC Architecture Project Manager: Jessica Saravia Project Responsibilities: Drafting, Documentation, Renderings Consultant Coordination Located near the Northwestern University campus along the Lake Michigan shore, Graduate Evanston hotel has a timeless charm that reflects the culture and history of the college town. As Architect of Record, DMAC teamed with AJ Capital Partners for an extensive renovation of the 119-key hotel—formerly known as The Homestead. The building, which opened in 1927 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, presented the opportunity for DMAC to work with Graduate Hotels to bring new life to the property. Renovating historic buildings are always challenging, this particular property had seen many years of ad-hoc renovations. The interior required a number of necessary upgrades to modernize and bring the building up to code. DMAC worked with the Graduate’s in-house design team to maintain the important design elements in the building while still serving the hotel guests with updated lighting, temperature control and other conveniences that contemporary hotels offer. Most floor layouts were revised to convert former apartment kitchens into large guestrooms, and upgrade other guestrooms to be ADA accessible. Because most of the electrical and plumbing were concealed, there were many unknowns and surprises along the way. The final product maintains the character of the original building while still providing modern systems and comforts.

BETRivers Suite PPG Arena | Pittsburgh, PA DMAC Architecture Project Manager: Jeremy Leech Project Responsibilities: Drafting, Documentation, Renderings The new BETRivers Lounge is a recently completed luxury box, located in section 119 of the PPG Paints Arena. The space features two rows of ticked bowl seats, above a lounge with club chairs and a large bar area. Wood slats wrap the entire extents of the seating, creating a much more private atmosphere within the larger space of the stadium. On the concourse level, the extensive bar area is wrapped in a laced metal soffit. The ceiling and array of pendant lights pop-up underneath the bar creating an intimate space on the continuous avenue of circulation. The bar and seating seamlessly integrate into a cohesive experience for patrons to enjoy the game.

Major Airline Rebrand Global First Class Lounge Design & Rebrand DMAC Architecture Project Manager: Kavitha Marudadu Project Responsibilities: Drafting, Documentation, Renderings, Brand Design, Consultant Coordination, Mock-up Fabrication, 3D Printing & Laser Cutting Technician DMAC Architecture was selected to rebrand and redesign the global standards for a major commercial airline’s first class lounges. The project includes a complete overhaul of all existing brand standards, redesign of finishes, key elements & brand messaging. The concept reimagines the lounge as a city, where programmatic elements take on individual identities within a field of parks and piazzas. Buildings oscillate between their own distinct qualities and the collective quality of the environment, the pavilions intermingle and share design ideas as buildings do across an urban fabric. Our design concept allows for brand unity across the lounge while retaining unique moments within a condensed space. Since the start of our initial rebranding and conceptual design the airline has asked DMAC to design and test our ideas at multiple locations including Denver International Airport & the Regan National Airport in Washington D.C.

Fireman’s Park Park Restrooms | Brenham, TX Upchurch Architects Project Manager: Tommy Upchurch Project Responsibilities: Drafting, Documentation, Site Measurements, Consultant Coordination Fireman’s Park Restrooms was a city project I worked on from Schematic Design through Construction Administration. Upchurch Architects is a small firm, the project was primarily handled by the principal of the firm and myself. I was involved in every phase of the project in some capacity and produced every drawing in the CD set. A humble project, the design was under a strict budget with a less than glamorous program. The roof became the feature design element, as the exposed wood beam with a rounded tail finish pitches up, the sides slope at increasing intervals to create a softer form in motion. During my time at Upchurch Architects I was involved in multiple city, housing and renovation projects working directly under the project manager or principal.

Double Sided Thesis SCI-ARC SUMMER 2019 Advisors: Peter Testa & Marrikka Trotter Double Sided focuses on the idea of entry, an obsession coming from the idea that a building could be designed as a continuous threshold. Where an overabundance of fronts and openings are accumulated into the same project disrupting typical notions of spatial sequencing and the relationship between interior and exterior. The project is a new city hall for Raleigh North Carolina. A program type that has become increasingly less about enclosed bureaucratic program as many of its functions shift online, and more and more a place where people can gather and feel connected. The design radically compresses the amount of truly enclosed conditioned space while expanding the amount and type of threshold conditions that would bring people together in unexpected and continuously unfolding ways. Formally, a lot of inspiration was drawn from the B-sides of architecture, which are lesser known projects from well known architects. For instance, Hans Hollein’s competition entry for the Walt Disney Concert Hall or James Stirling’s proposal for a mixed-use building in Berlin. These B-side projects had really interesting ideas about frontality and that transition moment from city to interior. Because they were B-sides, they didn’t carry the iconic associations of each architects’ more famous works. The thought process was that by extracting certain elements such as facades, wall systems, corners, materials these pieces could be redesigned and repurposed back into a single project. In today’s polarized political environment, there’s an opportunity to explore new ways to design civic space. We can radically challenge the types of spaces we need to create, remove old prejudices about real architecture being inside and think more creatively about how to bring people in the city together.

Encanto Library Design Studio & Design Development SCI-ARC FALL 2017 & FALL 2018 Instructors: Casey Rehm, Herwig Baumgartner & Brian Zamora Team: Jae Park, Sam Flower, Xingxing Li, William Maya, Juan Villarreal The Encanto Library was a project broken into two semesters. First a design studio calling for a library to be built in the city of Duarte, California located near Encanto Park. Second, the project was selected with a handful of others to go through a Design Development class which took the building through a set of CD’s. The concept for the building centers around the relationship between interior and exterior. Both the envelope and the interior start with same initial component, and through varying rule sets the form and organization of the library begin to develop. The exterior is composed of large moves and precise cuts, while the interior is made of smaller stackable masonry elements. The initial component was a set of four unique bars of soap that were turned into a 3D model. This model was then mined for its architectural qualities, such as its stackability, color and texture. With a fairly minimal footprint on the existing site, the library sits on a plinth that provides a sense of directionality and connectivity to the rest of the park. On the ground floor, the exterior plaza operates as the main public space and center of the building. Once inside the library, the atrium becomes the central space and directs lines of site through the different portions of the library.

Details Details Seminar SCI-ARC FALL 2018 Instructor: Dwayne Oyler Team: Akhil Mathew With the technological and material advancements of our time, there are possibilities for seamless construction, or at least a seamless appearance. The role of the seminar was to question the future role of the architectural detail, and focus on a more nuanced approach to detail design that draws from a wide range of definitions. The project was a redesign of a handrail detail for the Eames House. The handrail design is a combination of our interest in the off-the-shelf mentality embedded in the Eames House and what we’ve termed the exaggerated detail. The exaggerated detail fits somewhere between detail as motif and detail as construction logic. The detail is meant to be disruptive, the shear size in relation to a typical minimalist handrail creates a jarring effect. It is not solely the expression of the pieces and parts that make up the handrail, the scale generates more interesting questions related to necessity, economics, ornament and function. The handrail is composed entirely of parts out of catalogs used in unconventional ways with new forms of technology. The main skeleton is a series of steel pipes that have been cut with a tube laser, where aluminum H,U and Z bars fit everything together like a puzzle. Slot framing and laser cut steel wrap this skeleton and are cut to reveal the construction logic inside. The seminar culminated in an exhibition with the constructed handrail at 1:1 scale and a series of detail drawings.

LA Flower Market Design Studio SCI-ARC SPRING 2018 Instructor: Tom Wiscombe Team: Sam Flower The project was a call to replace and expand the existing Los Angeles Flower Market into a mixed-use development containing, shopping, business offices, amenities and residential. The approach of the studio was to take the problem of a mix-use development building as the problem of creating a miniature city in the middle of downtown LA. We sampled cities, past, contemporary and fictional as our base, creating a new formal language through the development of the project. By forcing many contradictory origins together, the resulting building loses any sense of one particular place. The lack of specificity in formal characteristics, pushes the building further into the territory of a miniature city rather than a single development. We amplify the familiar forms, typologies and tropes seen in a typical downtown mixed-use development, abusing that sense of familiarity and turning it against itself. Through these familiar forms, typologies and arrangements we slightly twist each position until something new and unexpected remains.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

This urban mixed use development is located between Maple Ave. and Wall St. south of 7th st. in Los Angeles California. The site the LA flower district and was the original location of the Los Angeles Flower Market opened in 1921. The project consists of a ser residential towers, the tallest reaching 400 feet, sitting on a plinth that contains public access to shops and cafes as well as apart amenities including a gym and public event space. Parking wraps the perimeter of the lower tower floors interrupted by a central at rises from the ground floor. The middle region of the towers house 2-3 bedroom family apartments. The upper floors consist primar bedroom and studio apartments as the towers gradually step back and the floor plates shrink.

A new elevated ground rises from the plinth and houses office space for lease around its perimeter. The smaller structures populati portion of this new ground would be used as restaurants, cafes, and bars available to people within the building community and th public. A lush garden is situated within the open space created from the new ground. This garden is populated with genetically mo grasses and shrubs that bear vibrant colors and other worldly scales. Tucked beneath the colorful vegetation is the flower market, e its original location with an enlarged shipping area in the northern most corner for wholesale pickup and delivery.

APPLICABLE CODES Project Location: City of Los Angeles, Central Planning District Community Plan Area: Central City Applicable building codes: 2015 ICC International Building Code (IBC) 2016 California Building Standards Code (CCR Title 24) Official City of Los Angeles Municipal Code (Sixth Edition) Article 1 (Building Code) Article 3 (Electrical Code) Article 4 (Plumbing Code) Article 5 (Mechanical Code) Article 9 (Green Building Code) ZONING: The current zoning type M2 “Light Industrial” does not support dwelling units therefore the zoning type shall be changed to C2 “Commercial.” CONSTRUCTION TYPE: Type IA. OCCUPANCY: The occupancy type varies as follows: R-2 residential, M mercantile, S-1 storage, A-1 assembly, and B business. LANDSCAPE: The project size is ~750,000 therefore in order to meet landscape ordinance 170.978 we have attained 300 points in the Landscape point system (table II pg 30). In order to achieve these points the design strategy included the planting of understory trees at a minimum density of 30’ on center at street level as well as elsewhere on the site and building. Additional pedestrian safe cross areas have also been defined. PARKING: Modified Parking Requirements (MPR) District: (a) A parking reduction Permit may be applied for. This tool can be used in areas with ample transit and/ or individual projects that incorporate transportation alternatives. (b) In areas where less parking is needed or public transit is being encouraged, decreases to standard parking requirements may be warranted. PARKING BREAKDOWN PROGRAM TYPE

Figure Figure Design Studio & Exhibition Entry Awarded the Jury Prize SCI-ARC FALL 2018 Instructor: Elena Manferdini Team: Akhil Mathew SCI-Arc along with 17 other schools around the world were asked to participate in an exhibition organized by Dominique Perrault titled, Chambord 1519-2019: Utopia at Work. The exhibition asked to reimagine the idea of utopia, using the Chateau de Chambord as its site. Currently we see a schism between the everyday life of city inhabitants and the tourists that come to experience the city. The city is an amusement park, where architecturally significant buildings become places only for tourism while the rest of the city operates as a backdrop to that experience. Our utopia is an architectural utopia, creating a new city where every building becomes significant. The role of the city for the inhabitant and the tourist would be equalized. Through design and architecture the city would be formed. Without the economic and bureaucratic regulations in place currently organizing cities and dictating the built environment, our city can build first without a prescribed program. Looking at Piranesi’s Campo Marzio, where he reimagines Rome as a city of pure architecture, we look to past utopias as a place to find organizational principles, parts and pieces that can be reinterpreted and reconstructed to create the Figure Figure City. Through this we utilize and heighten the otherworldly qualities that currently exist in Chambord, providing the antidote to the contemporary city.
