Montgomery

at Montgomery is a multi-family urban housing and retail development in the Portland neighborhood of Louisville Kentucky. This project is designed to bring new young families and students into the Portland area as well as providing much needed food services to the current residents. The site located on the corner of Montgomery and N27th Street is directly across from the Portland community center and park as well as walking access to the Louisville river walk. The site is also close to the Portland Christian School and a small shopping area in Portland.

The idea behind the development is to provide the community with access to small scale farms as well as a market, learning kitchen, and resturant. A partnership with Louisville Grows would be a great oppertunity to expand their program by giving them a place to show kids the impact of urban farming as well as show the cycle from seed to table or seed to shelf.

344 Burley is a single-family home in Lexington, KY. The project scope was to create a two story, four bed, four bath unit within an infill lot. The design of the home was uniquely challenging due to the lots size and the amount of program required.

The home will be a rental unit and the idea was to have privacy for each tenant meanwhile creating enough space for gathering and common necessities. All parking was moved to the back of the house and the front is preserved as a modest green yard with a front porch for visitors and residents alike can enjoy.

Berlin University Residences Berlin University Residences was a competition that focused on the need for housing in Berlin. The program consisted apartments, student dorms, and hostels. In addition, it had to have amenities that would serve the residences as well as be a place for students to work while in school. The proposal here was to re-establish a street wall in an empty lot of central berlin and carve out courtyard spaces for activity and light for residences. The units have different envelopes so that when organized throughout the building there is a angle effect of pushing and pulling of the overall envelope.

Inventors Cooperative

This project beginnings started in a formal aggergational massing study of foam models. These operations of cutting, shifting, and manipulation developed into the programmatic strategy for a complex for inventors to research and live among like minded individuals. Investigating organizational relationships between forms and program created a unique opportunity for seperation of private and public and movement throughout the complex.

The site for the cooperative is on the shore near Fontana Dam in western North Carolina. The solution of the isolation was to create a dock that transported users to and from the complex. In essence, the project is trying to create a series of relationships between different functions of the Inventors Cooperative. Many facilities including a library, computer facilities, lounges, and labs would the main spaces that the community would work and investigate their research.

The complex uses a steel post and beam construction. The reasoning for this is steel, a highly durable material, takes more loads and has a longer span width unlike heavy timber construction. In addition it is lighter so less foundation work is needed to accommodate loads. Steel is less likely to be wasted in the construction process as well. With these benefits this system connectors are bolted for faster construction time and all material is pre-made to the specifications of the measured spaces and heights before introduced to the site.

PAVILION/Light+Shadow

You see a cube in the distance. Slices of darkness embrace the cube. A screen barely visible on the exterior is a perforated gem on the interior. You enter and see a processional wrapping the screen. Moving upward reveals an expression of light and shadow; The slices once dark are now glowing. Arriving to the point of transition, reluctant at first, walks out, suspended in the light. The light becomes mystical.

INFILL: Home & Studio Home & Studio is a project intent was to create an environment where the inhabitants can have all work related functions on the street level and the mezzanine. Then have a private, modern home, on the next two floors. The facade of the Home & Studio expresses barring walls just like the two buildings it shares with and uses brick and concrete to blend into the streetscape. The entranceway has large windows to allow pedestrians look in and see selected works in the gallery space. The use of natural light was very important to this project. In the early stages of design, there was a need to have light come into the center of the building. This could not be solved by pure open glass facade on each side of the infill. The solution was to create a stepped down light well to bring light into an otherwise dark space. The light well was also used as gathering spaces and garden areas for the in architects home and the designers who worked with the architects. Since there was a lot of program in a tiny space, it was essential to be efficient in the way circulation connected spaces and what was next to each other. The main stairwell is center of the project next to the light well, which provides access to the home and the studio. A rooftop tea garden was created to create an outdoor room, which seems closed off but it is open up to the sky. In addition, there is a play of solid and void that is present in the project, which opens up space and condenses space giving a more definition of what is public and what is private. Overall, the building is a organized around light, program, and circulation, all which are dependent to solve the design problem.

South Brother Island Thermal Baths based on the micro bathhouse done earlier in the studio. The hope was by freeing preconceived notions of scale and distorting the plan would allow a opportunity for it to manifest itself into a new volumetric model. In addition to aggregating, slicing, and subtracting, there was also the play of distortion. Physical models showed that these studies have the potential to be used in the large-scale public bathhouse and hotel on South Brother Island. where the bathhouse and hotel can potentially go. However, later in the design phase it was decided that different size cubes were more public and open for the bathhouse, Smaller cubes housed various other program and smaller baths that correspond to temperature. water and half way anchored on land. The hotel is in the center of this island and is the only 10 feet above sea level. Being surrounded by trees gives a sense that you are no longer in the city, even though New York City is all around the island. Even though bathhouses are not typically seen in the United States, this one gives a sense of a resort rather than just a place to bath.
