URBAN
GRAFT
SCION An Urban Graft scion - a detached shoot or twig containing buds from a woody plant; used in grafting plants in order to propagate
SCION represents innovation to the approach of urban architecture. Constructed primarily of engineered lumber, the building acts as a graft of the natural world within the urban landscape of Brooklyn, New York. The project is a mixed use facility of commercial, manufacturing, and residential components. The objective of the design is to facilitate green construction methods in the US.

Introducing Urban Fabric
Overlapping Street Grids
While the building acts as a graft of the natural world in a man made environment, SCION also acts at an urban level to absorb the living tissue of daily street life. A park pulls pedestrian traffic up and within the architecture.
Building geometry is inherited from surrounding blocks. The site exists at the junction of two conflicting grid systems. By pulling geometry from neighboring blocks to the east the building fills the site and acts to link the two opposing grids.
Splitting Geometry
Extruding Volume
A park, consistent with those of the area, acts as an offshoot of the street drawing in pedestrian traffic while dividing the site into distinct separate geometries. The overlaid grid system contorts to meet the northernmost corner of the site.
Program dictated volumes are extruded from the site’s planometric geometry. A residential block is lifted above a two story volume of commercial and manufacturing use. A bicycle shop fronts Ostego Street and caps the eastern most extents of the site. An elevated park acts to bridge ground level and the residential volume.

Sun, Wind, and Light
Innovating Timber Construction
Southern glazing is exposed to both summer and winter sun. The low winter sun penetrates the facade and helps to heat the building. Cool winds blowing across Upper New York Bay pass through operable windows and cool the building in the overheated season. Northern light illuminates north facing apartments and wood manufacturing facilities on the lowest two levels.
The building consists of three structural elements. A grid of engineered wood columns spanned by a large wooden space frame scatter across the lowest three levels providing large open spaces and clear sight lines in the wood manufacturing facility. A cross laminated timber tower provides cubby space for residential apartments.

abiquiu
courtyard
A unique opportunity in my educational career, the courtyard project for the Abiquiu Inn in Abiquiu, New Mexico was a studio design competition for an actual client. The best schemes received scholarships, and the winning scheme is to be constructed in the coming years. The project was to create an outdoor pavilion and courtyard garden to host a range of year round activities. The courtyard provides bioclimatically tempered spaces to house anything from artisan workshops to destination weddings. This winning proposal also includes a master plan for the Inn, projecting placement of future casitas(cabins), parking lots, and completing the current road system.
site plan
My partner and I designed within the constraints of the Northern New Mexican vernacular. The project is constructed from locally sourced adobe brick and regionally harvested woods. It is oriented for optimal solar gains and thermally massive to retain heat in the under-heated season. 15

ISLAND
RETREAT
The intent of this project was to explore building assembly. The project, located in the San Juan Islands off the coast of Washington was presented with an existing concrete foundation on which the client wished to construct a minimal single bedroom weekend get-away. The project is a simply composed 640 square foot island retreat. A living room and kitchen to the east offer access to the dock and open to expansive views across the bay. A bathroom at the center occupies the most private interior space. A bedroom to the west opens to a stairway and path into the island.
