Summary
Quinn Evans, 2019-2021 As part of a project begun in 2014 to design and construct the restoration of southern Maryland’s Point Lookout Lighthouse, I carried the construction contract administration phase to its final completion soon after joining Quinn Evans as a designer. I worked under the supervision of the project manager to answer RFIs, approve submittals, run construction progress meetings, and clarify construction details. I also played a key role in maintaining relationships between the contractor, client, and owner. The project restored the 2-story wood frame and masonry house, two heavy-timber wood sheds (“coal” and “buoy” sheds), and a masonry smokehouse. Site improvements included a wheelchair lift to enhance the accessibility and appearance of the site. A comprehensive exhibit is anticipated to be installed sometime in 2022. I am currently leading Quinn Evan’s role between the exhibit designer and client to bid the exhibit fabrication contract. Point Lookout is located in Scotland, MD, on Chesapeake Bay at the mouth of the Potomac River, and is a popular park for sunbathing, fishing, and camping. The light sits atop of a 2-story keeper’s dwelling, which was expanded in 1883 (creation of a duplex arrangement for the keeper’s assistant). The site was the location of a Civil War hospital and POW camp, and is registered on the Maryland Register of Historic Places.

The Chesapeake Bay side of the keeper’s dwelling was the historic front of the house. The current red and white paint scheme dates from the 1930s renovation, and was inspired by paint remnants found on existing window sashes. The rebuilt porch and stair railings balance the historic design with modern code requirements. Top: Post-construction photo of the keeper’s dwelling Bottom Left: Historic postcard of the lighthouse.

The buoy shed historically housed spar buoys (deployed via the tracks to the pier) that were used for additional navigational aids. It also has a radio room dating to the early 1900s The coal shed was used for the storage of coal.. Above: Pre-construction view from the northwest (towards Chesapeake Bay) of the lighthouse, buoy shed, and coal shed. Right: View from the northeast (towards the Potomac River) of the buoy shed in the foreground and the coal shed behind it. Anecdote: Parts of these sheds were used in modern times to store surplus toilets and as barracks to house other lighthouse personnel.

REHABILITATE MISSION 66 COMFORT STATIONS Project Details Gross Building Square Footage
±500 s.f. each of 18 stations
Estimated Construction Cost
$250, 000 - $500, 000 per station
Summary
Quinn Evans, 2021-2022 As the project’s architect, I led the design effort to rehabilitate 18 National Park Service (NPS) comfort stations located within the units of the National Capital Region. The designs provide accessible facilities, intended to bring these 1960s-era structures into compliance with modern standards. I also led several designers to develop the project in Revit and coordinated between vendors, consultants, and the client. The Park Service’s Mission 66 comfort stations, picnic shelters, and visitor centers was a major post-war campaign to serve the increasing numbers of visitors to the parks via the automobile. It was the largest amount of Federal funding since the 1930s, whose design style was intended to contrast with the “rustic” style of the New Deal era. The project develops proposed solutions for three subtypes of Mission 66 stations, as laid out in “Design and Maintenance Guildelines: Mission 66 Comfort Stations”. Type D comfort stations are made of concrete masonry walls, with ribbon windows, and wood framed doors, windows, and vertical siding. The four type D1 stations in our project were extended by the parks at campground locations to provide space for a shower. Finally, type A stations are wood-framed buildings with board and batten or horizontal wood siding and high-pitched roofs.

RICHMOND VIRGINIA OLD CITY HALL Project Details Gross Building Square Footage
118, 000 square feet renovated
Estimated Construction Cost
$51, 000, 000
Summary
Quinn Evans, 2018-2019 The Commonwealth of Virginia is renovating and restoring the Gothic-revival 1894 building built by Elijah Meyers for the City of Richmond. Located next to the Virginia State Capitol, it has been used by the Commonwealth’s legislative branch as office space since the 1980s. As a staff designer, I assisted with the drafting of construction-level details for the restoration and renovation of Richmond, Virginia’s Old City Hall. I also assisted with parts of construction contract administration in the Spring of 2020. Primarily, I focused on details for the skylight and roofing replacements, new accessible ramp and stair for the western entrance, and interior details, such as wainscoting restoration. I coordinated these all of these details with the architectural team, structural engineer, and MEP engineers.

PERSONAL ARTWORK
Illustration of sites visited during senior undergraduate year in Paris, 2006-2007
“...the LORD who every day opens the doors of the gates of the east,
AND PIERCES THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN, brings the sun from its place and the moon from its place of rest…”
Summer 2021 The background of the drawing is the historic Ahrida Synagogue in Istanbul and celebrates my Turkish great-grandfather’s ancestors (Solomon). The dome above the reader’s desk (tevah) is transformed into the dome of the heavens, inspired by Flammarion’s 1888 description of where the seven heavens meet the earth (“ubi cœlum terræ se conjungit”). The covering on the readers desk (tevah) is a representation of my name, DAN-iel Hayyim. The scales (din or Dan, justice) are in the form of the medieval windmills in Rhodes, representing my great-grandparents, and the Hamsa is symbolic of life, Hayyim. This drawing was created as an illustration for Volume 2 of the Masorti Sephardic Siddur edited by Rabbi Adam Zagoria-Moffat and Isaac Treuherz. When reading this prayer every week on the Sabbath and on the Festivals, may we merit the rest of the dove when it was released from the ark (tevah).
Medium The original drawing is on a 30”x22” sheet of Arches 140# hot-press watercolor paper. A variety of sketching pencils, all from the Faber-Castell 9000 series (HB, H, 2H), have been used to express arange of black and white hue. Faber Castell Polychromos colored pencils were used for the colors and a brush-pen was used for the text.

Riley’s Lock And Lockhouse December 2017–March 2018 The primary subject of the drawing is Riley’s lock and the Seneca Creek aqueduct on the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal. I’ve been a fan of the C&O towpath trail since I moving to the Washington DC suburbs in Maryland, and have ridden or run most of its 184.5 miles. The Seneca Creek aqueduct is not currently watered - and is basically in “ruin”. I've illustrated it whole, with a boat traveling downstream towards the lock. Part of the aqueduct is cut-away in section to show the boat and the inside of the lock gate. The canal boat drawing is from a somewhat rarelyused passenger boat design, but is very similar to the cargo boats used to transport coal and other goods downstream from northern Maryland to the ports in Georgetown and Virginia. The area around Seneca Creek features red sandstone (similar to that used when building the Smithsonian Castle) and the use of a sepia/umber toned pencil for the aqueduct stone to celebrate this was investigated. The ladder is rendered in raw umber colored pencil and leads from the bottom of the lock to the lockhouse. Several of these ladders – built into the upstream lock gates – appear at various locations throughout the canal for access and repair to the boats and lock by lock-keepers and boat owners. The windmill depicted refers to the type of medieval windmill built on the Island of Rhodes. A measured survey found online was used to establish dimensions and to clarify materials and construction. The opening line from “Scalerica” (“A little ladder of gold and ivory”) is written at the bottom of the image in the Solitreo script used by JudeoSpanish-speaking Jews in Spain, the Ottoman Empire, and on the Island of Rhodes. Detailed drawings of the lock, aqueduct, and lockhouse available from the Library of Congress through the Historic American Building Survey (HABS) were used to establish the scale and render the details.
Medium The drawing is on a 30”x22” sheet of Arches 140# hot-press watercolor paper. A variety of sketching pencils, all from the Faber-Castell 9000 series (4B, HB, H, 2H, and 4H), have been used to express a full-range of black and white hue. The “Raw Umber” Faber Castell Polychromos colored pencil was used for the ladder; a brush-pen was used for the text.

Washington Metro – CRB SUMMARY
December 2014–February 2015 The Washington Metro’s underground stations feature distinctive coffered vaults that celebrate raw concrete and dramatic lighting. The drawing reimagines an office fit-out as a Metro station and a Metro station as an office. The original drawing is on a 30”x22” sheet of Arches 140# hot-press watercolor paper. A variety of sketching pencils, all from the Faber-Castell 9000 series (4B, HB, H, 2H, and 4H), have been used to express a full-range of black and white hue.

«Ma vie à Atlanta par Vélo My life in Atlanta by bicycle» SUMMARY GIS Day Map Competition, October 2013 Mapmaking is a vivid way to share stories in time and space. This map tells the story of traveling between the Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University in the style of a Colonial French hunting map. Route and elevation information from GPS was combined in a Geographic Information System (GIS) with background layers (roads, topography, and building footprints). Parts of the map further away from the main path were obscured to indicate diminishing knowledge and familiarity (“there be dragons there…”). Hand-drawn labels and title were added to further enhance the effect.
