One of the important features of the project was the ceiling design in the main lobby and nurse station. I worked closely with Armstrong and our lighting consultants to find the right ceiling construction to reflect a light, open and healthy patient environment. The installation of the “blade� system proved to be a huge coordination effort with the various consultant and client constraints.

The Jackson Heights Rehabilitation clinic is a 10,000 sf. space in an existing two story building formerly used as a catering hall. The concept behind the scheme was to have multiple checkpoints (reception desks) to filter traffic between the general patients who would arrive for examinations, and the orthopedic patients requiring use of the orthopedic gym. The admin. coridor is located off of the primary waiting area to help circulate the dozens of staff members who work at the facility daily. There are four nurse stations throughout the corrdior to help monitor and direct patient traffic.

1 FIRST FLOOR FINISH AND FURNITURE PLAN
The Porsche retail store was a project I completed construction documents and some construction administration for. I was responsible for drafting and coordinating drawings with Porsche and the various consultants (MEP, lighting, furniture). During this project I made several site visits and various inspections of the finish level and quality of the construction. This was a challenging project as we had different consultants for the exterior fit out of the building as well as the engineering design of the elevator, which was to be completed after the store was finished. The various details in the stair, custom doorways of the separate showrooms and lighting design of this project proved to be a huge coordination effort.

RRL is a luxury label under the Ralph Lauren brand. For this project I acted as the project manager to convert an existing modern Polo Store Concept into a more “rustic” RRL. I drafted and organized the construction drawings while working closely with our Architectural, A/V, Lighting and engineering consultants, as well as in house consultants to get this project to construction document phase. The interior was truly to reflect that of Après-ski with board and batten for most of the interior walls. Some of the existing rubble/stone walls were to remain as they also reflected this vintage aesthetic. The millwork was to be a mixture of traditional bayed wood casing with a few modern wall hung pieces with aged metal detailing. The floor was to be white oak quarter sawn and aged.

This was a licensee Polo Store concept I developed for a mall in Moscow, Russia. I was responsible for coordinating the drawings with the different licensees and Ralph Lauren internal design teams. One of the bigger coordination efforts was that the mall had requested a specific area for main entry that was contradictory to the Ralph Lauren aesthetic. Myself with a Director worked L 1 out several different schemes to please both in FIXTURE PLAN 1 house Ralph Lauren executives as well as the Licensee who was funding the project.GROUND FLOOR AREA (TOTAL)

Pitkin Charter School was a phase renovation project in the Old Pitkin Theater building in Brownsville, Brooklyn. Our firm was responsible for the Interior Architecture of the project. My role in this project was surveying existing build outs, setting up schematic design, design development, and construction documents, as well as millwork and other finish drawings. I worked closely with the project Architect, sub-contractors and site supervisor during the 2nd and 6th floor construction process performing weekly site visits and providing supplemental drawings and technical details regarding mechanical and electrical equipment. I also supervised and assisted with the corian millwork that was a main feature throughout the school in the corridors and lobbies. I worked closely with sales representatives to work out lighting and other FF&E details that came up during the construction process.
Project:
ASCEND OFFICES - 2014
Location:
BROOKLYN, NEW YORK
Size:
4,000 SF.
Program:
three conference rooms director’s office main circulation corridor two open plan work areas kitchen coat room The Ascend Charter School offices was a renovation project of an existing school building located in Brooklyn, New York on Flatbush Avenue. Myself, under the supervision of the Project Architect drafted all of the construction documents, coordinated the construction schedule, specified all furniture, lighting and finish schedules while maintaining quality control with the hired contractor. During the project I had many meetings with the clients as to what specific program types would benefit their new offices. In their existing scheme all of the teachers and staff were located in a single classroom in cubicles. Our proposal was for an open office scheme divided by color accented conference rooms necessary for the many staffing interviews conducted at Ascend on a daily basis. After substantial completion was filed for the project I conducted several on site punch lists and worked with the clients directly to ensure that the construction was a success. I like to think that the coordination efforts of this project allowed for a healthier and happier work environment for the teachers and staff of Ascend Charter School given their limited budget for the project.

ALLEN HOSPITAL RENOVATION - 2012
Location:
BRONX, NEW YORK
Size:
25,000 SF. (PHASED)
Program:
procedure room offices reception equioment room inpatient holding room two changing rooms nurse’s suite control room build out for potential medical offices roof terrace The proposal for the hospital build out was designed in three phases. The first being the design of a MRI suite and supplemental program needed for the machine to function safely. The second a structural build out of the entire existing court yard up to the second level. And finally a roof terrace to replace the existing courtyard that was to be removed in the earlier phases. My role in this project was to survey all of the existing conditions while drafting a set of design development drawings proposing the first and third phase. Under the supervision of the Project Architect I developed the entire feasibility study including the proposal for the new facade. I worked with hospital consultants regarding the tremendous amount of equipment necessary for the first phase while engaging with the engineer over existing conditions that needed to be integrated into the proposed project.

MUSEUM OF THE BUILT
Location:
BERLIN, GERMANY
Size:
100,000 SF.+
Program:
thresholds contemplation chambers circulation multiple lobby’s administrative offices projection rooms outdoor follies recital rooms The museum of the built is a project, a city, and an exercise in symbolic form used as a device for movement and clarity for the end user. The project rests on an initial Armature which aims to be the first gesture towards the organization of space. Set on two axis or “fields� with a suggested third, the armature of the museum is the central arm or artery that connects all secondary and tertiary spaces. With the formation of the initial armature the remaining program (theaters, administration, contemplation chambers and recital halls) all lock into it like a puzzle overlapping onto one another forming the buildings formal language and defining a sense of totality; the collision of armature to its periphery with proportionate in fill of usable, designated volume. The project becomes static when examined from the whole, similar to the process of designing architecture from totality. Everything seems correct but undefined. When narrow focus points are selected, such as a section or a single moment it is easy to find a sense of equilibrium within the greater whole. This project is meant to be understood as a kit of parts where single moments can be selected, extracted and potentially placed anywhere within a given context.
NORTH HOUSE ANCHORAGE I ALASKA

Project:
NORTH HOUSE
Location:
ANCHORAGE, ALASKA
Size:
3,600 SF.
Program:
three sleeping rooms living space kitchen area restroom central stair east and west opening south facing skylight exterior tundra planters
North House is a personal project developed due to my interest and experience living in northern climates such as Alaska where good site placement, window openings and flora become integral parts of the overall design. Alaska has some of the most beautiful climate and coloring in the world, so a structure built in this type of environment would need to reflect the nature and beauty of the surrounding landscape. I devised a simple scheme using poured in place concrete with a weathered patina along with corten steel accents to accentuate the fall colors and the aurora borealis that is frequently seen in the last frontier. There is a central circular stair that connects all three levels of the space while helping minimize the footprint of the structure. The house is half embedded into the site while the other half is exposed to create a point of entry from the road leading up the mountain.

CINEMA PAVILION
Location:
HYDE PARK, LONDON
Size:
70,000 SF.
Program:
multiple veiwing walls / galleries projection rooms lobby / ticketing Administrative offices Kiosks restaurant / cafe theater outdoor cinema circulation
The cinema pavilion was designed to be a temporary construction for the theater arts of greater London during the summer months. The purpose of the studio was to investigate architecture as temporal structure in which, a series of manipulated planes could positively charge the overall experience of cinema. Planes unfold and interlock to form corridors, central openings and viewing frames while projectors amplify the visual experience of the space and enhance the quality of light and the perception of movement throughout the pavilion.

Project:
FILM FESTIVAL
Location:
BUENOS AIRES ARGENTINA
Size:
50,000 SF.
Program:
galleries six theaters lobby / ticketing administrative offices kiosks restaurant / cafe external and internal circulation The film festival was an early undergraduate exploration of form using self generated 3D data that could be applied directly to a program and experience type. Studying Nervi’s isostatic diagrams, a language was established between control points of basic geometric shapes formed in 2D modes - later extruded into 3D constructs that were applied to the specific formal characteristics of the site. The 3D constructs were manipulated and broken down into several program types; theaters, circulation halls, and the spaces between i.e. ticketing and administrative offices based on their size. This allowed the individual program types to maintain unique formal qualities and scale while still maintaining an over arching sense of the whole space. The final product was a space with a series of interlocking vaults that flowed into one another while differentiating in height and depth and program type, with an interior and exterior circulation spine of vaults linking all of the primary program blocks together.

BUS TERMINAL ATRIUM
Location:
PORT AUTHORITY BUS TERMINAL, NY
Size:
30,000 SF.
Program:
resting, reading and eating areas circulation ramps connection to proposed tower above The bus atrium was designed to be an in fill space within the port authority bus terminal atrium to serve the daily commuters that visit the terminal as well as the office employees that will occupy the tower proposed above the station to be completed in the coming years. The generator for the program was based on the analysis of architectural transparency in midtown, specifically in times square. Billboards and advertising create a closed dialogue between the occupants of the area leaving little room for spacial imagination. My proposal is a series of interlocking volumes that create a gradient between a sense of openness (public) and closedness (private) that allow the user the ability to maintain autonomy and, to create a scene with spacial inquiry versus a flat representation of pictorial advertisements.

Project:
WEST HOUSE
Location:
BERKELEY HILLS, CALIFORNIA
Size:
2,000 SF.
Program:
library two bedroom kitchen restroom driveway access to hills below living space viewing balconies
West House was inspired by several trips I took last year to northern California exploring the unique range of house typologies along the bay in the Berkeley Hills. An area truly reflective of democracy, the architecture mirrors exactly that. A unique collection of building styles ranging from arts & crafts to modern, post-modern, and regional. I took this as a point of reference and developed a house based purely on radii. The house is composed of four interlocking volumes that share the same degree of radius from all directions facing the bay. The exterior structural elements lock the house into the site and share a similar language to that of the various species of birds that occupy the hillsides and make up only part of its vast wildlife.

Project:
FURNITURE DESIGN
Location:
BROOKLYN, NEW YORK
Size:
VARIES
Program:
local materials found objects small scale for small spaces
Working in a small garage in Brooklyn using only found objects, local materials, a chop saw and a drill I created a collection of furniture in my free time. All of these pieces are inspired by flat pack architecture (assembling through a series of pre-cut pieces) and small scale spaces based on the size of a typical New York apartment. I wanted to create a collection of furniture that could give people an alternative to the throw away culture that has become IKEA and provide difference and variety using conventional materials so that they could feel confident and comfortable within their limited sized apartments. Light colors and open spaces without backboards is key to this concept. Furniture should be seen and experienced from all sides.
