Margaret Angel Residence
The Margaret Angel Residence will be a place where Ms. Angel can enjoy her time alone with her dog. The layout of the site is set up so that Ms. Angel will land her Piper plane on the back end of the island and walk through the trees and discover her home on the other side. The residence was designed for Ms. Angel to feel protected from the harsh elements that the Maine climate can bring in the colder months. The exterior’s stonewall acts like a blanket to the warm interior space. The home is entered on the main level where the main living space is located with the Ms. Angel’s bedroom located in a lofted space above. The bathroom is located on the ground level. The large window on the southeast side of the building allows Ms. Angel to look out over the bay that she loves so much.

Margaret Angel Foundation
An environment that is compfortable, welcoming, and strays away from the feel of a hospital. A place that is based on contrast; the visitors can relate to the physical building based on a life of dealing with a terminal illness. The visitors most likely will have experienced highs and lows, darker days versus brighter days, rough times and smooth. The choice of materials and site location express the principle concept of the Margaret Angel Foundation.

College of Design Extension (Partner_David M. Goldsmith)
The Design School Extension is a portal that creates a transition from main campus to the College of Design. The use of the original planning grid of North Carolina State University’s campus and the current planning grid create the form of the building. A linking bridge starting from the Syme Hall courtyard leads to a plaza for events in front of the building or through the building portal into a large green space shared between the Design School Extension and the SAS building. The use of vertical terracotta louvers on the east and west sides of the building reduces the impact of beam sunlight. Horizontal terracotta louvers on the southern facade for additional sun-shading.
