The concrete form emerges from the hillside. The semi-exterior program includes outdoor seating, a covered performance space and a large event space. Light is filtered through a suspended trellis.

The schematic design resolves tight mechanical systems, square footage, and circulation constraints into a singular spatial experience. The 750 square foot apartment units are stacked and shifted to define an internal void. Variation in plan is produced as each apartment is rotated around a centralized utility core. Circulation is carved from the volumes and detailed in raw plywood. The entire assemblage is clad in a diaphanous trellis to condition light and support plant growth. The project was completed in collaboration at Rice + Lipka Architects in New York.

Fact or y
The iridescent building volume is sited within a vacant property in a distressed Pittsburgh neighborhood. The facility expands the adjacent rowhouse and provides necessary utilities for the area’s developing arts community. The renovations include a sawtooth ceiling with an integrated photovoltaic array and an escape stair to satisfy egress requirements. The project was presented to the community through a town meeting and included a business and event plan.

The aluminum and fabric structure was the centerpiece for the annual Arbitare design exhibition in Heslinki, Finland. As one moves around the structure, the layered figures elicit different expressions. The light-absorbing materiality is carried through the exhibition as a set of suspended planes placed between the displays of exhibitors. The system of modular, minimal surfaces simplified fabrication and assembly. The project was completed in collaboration at Sotamaa in Helsinki, Finland.
