Paths Entwined Hostel | Barcelona, Spain |
Critics: Adrian Luchini, Elena Canovas Summer 2013
A sinewy set of ribbons rise and form a public square adjacent to the ancient roman wall. A thin cantilevered hostel, its rooms suspended within, forms a spatial and auditory barrier against the busy Via Laietana. The roots of which are a public gallery. Enclosed within a metal mesh skin, the building conceals itself by daylight and reveals by night its interior and pronounced structure.

Artist’s Studio Robert McCarter Conceptual Iterations | Critic: Fall 2012
3
A vertically ribbed ribbon of concrete wraps and contorts around an artist’s studio in this two week conceptual catalyst project. A large operable glass wall opens to the softer northern light while a second occupied operable wall opens to the west. The studio is shielded from the harsher southern light by the artist’s apartment and several occupied walls of channel glass and perforated concrete. The roof, raised above the ribbon, contains a set of compact louvres to maximize natural light. Set within the nondescript southwestern pacific coast, this project was limited by a 33 foot bounding cube, of which a 22 foot cube must be the artist’s studio. With these design limitations and the short completion time, the catalyst for the artist’s collective was born.
Artist’s Collective Robert McCarter Extension to the unbuilt Salk Institute | Critic: Fall 2012
A serialized set of 6 studios and apartments extends west, a proposal of an addition to the unbuilt portion of the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California. Built upon a modified artist’s studio cube, the ribbon of concrete unrolls across a long courtyard, capped with a gallery overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Each living unit provides contemplative privacy while the studio encourages collaboration and communication around the common ground of the interior courtyard. Keeping the large operable walls allows the studio to adapt and make use of La Jolla’s nearly always favourable weather.

Public Library Charleston S.C. Spring 2010
Critic: Levent Kara
A pair of monumental vessels; physical and experiential knowledge, are suspended within a volumetric grid. The circulation of the building is contained interstitially between the spatial tension created by the two vessels. The golden section is used to define the proportions of the building, reflecting the classical context the building is in.

Along the bald cypress laden edge of Newnan’s Lake, two monolithic masses rise from the swampy earth. A simple lodge is cantilevered from the masses above ground. Across a short elevated walkway stands a porous tower, a spiral staircase leads to a viewing platform atop. Open to the sky just above the tree line; the tower allows the viewer a framed view of the distant horizon.

Strata|Hybridized Critic: Albertus Wang | Fall 2010 Partner: Jeffrey Glad
Contained within a single New York City block, three towers each containing a single varying program are split apart such that the resulting elongated ‘U’ shape draws the city into the site. Rising from the anchor of the office tower is an elevated street, a series of street-scale multilevel bridges connecting the residential towers as well as the office tower to create a layered hybrid of city and building, furthering the congestion that fuels New York’s social discourse.

Grid Corrosion NYC Hotel Critic: Albertus Wang Partner: Jeffrey Glad Fall 2010
The hotel tower is comprised of four interplayed conceptual frameworks; an orthogonal core as a datum, a fluid seductive void, a vertebrae of galleries grafted unto the core, and a series of programmatic boxes interlaced within the tower. A terraced sculpture garden contains its own spine of horizontal galleries and public spaces gathering the private scale of the garden into the hotel, forming a knotted threshold between the low rises of Hell’s Kitchen and the high rises of Midtown.

Immersion Lens 2013 Performing Arts Centre | St. Louis MO | Fall Critic: Philip Holden
The Camera- its constituent parts of lens and body, is the driver in the project.
The Lens- taking the optical concepts of refraction and reflection of light as a metaphorical driver for the passage into a raised pair of theatres. The project uses several colour and programmatically linked spaces that move in plan and section to wrap the theatre in transient active space. These refracted “tunnels of light� serve to both veil the theatre as well as enhance the visitors experience of the performance by distancing them from the street and regularized life.
9
The Body- the mechanical and service portion of the project that allows the theatre to function. The project has a single “ultra-fly� that travels through the totality of the project within which each theatres individual fly is contained, as well as a stage with horizontal segmentation. This ultra-fly allows the rest of the production and other back of house operations to be above street level, freeing the ground to the city.
