150 CHARLES STREET / New York, NY A remarkable site overlooking the expanse of the waterfront, 150 Charles Street is sited between the activity on the Hudson River and the history of the West Village. The building incorporates the abandoned Whitehall warehouse, a massive, utilitarian structure of concrete, brick, and glass. The grid of the warehouse is maintained in the new building, with each bay defining separate townhomes on Charles and West 10th Streets. Individual, residential entries create new connections at the street level, activating the sidewalk with foot traffic. Retaining the streetwall as both a connection to the pedestrian scale and the neighborhood’s past, 150 Charles creates a vibrant streetscape and the highest-quality living environment for its residents. A vision of weaving new development into the natural and historic environment of the West Village has shaped this project from the outset. Modern logic typically would balance a residential tower within a park, yet 150 Charles asserts that new growth can thoroughly integrate nature into the built environment. The resulting building is a careful composition of stacked volumes that gradually setback, preserving the neighborhood’s scale and romantic character. Where the warehouse’s tarred roof once occupied the majority of the block, two terraced, landscaped volumes now surround a lush central courtyard. Incorporating ideas of biophilia – our inherent connection to the environment - access to nature throughout the building is related to themes of prospect (wide, open views) and refuge (safe and protected interior spaces). 150 Charles combines the best of the West Village townhouse garden view and the waterfront high-rise river view with cascading terraces designed as a “fifth façade.” Integral to the experience of the building, 150 Charles has over 30,000 square feet of landscaped space distributed throughout lush green rooftops, planted terraces and courtyards truly defining the term “superior landscaping.” This is more composed green space than Abingdon Square Park, Christopher Square Park and the Jefferson Market Garden combined. 150 Charles is more than a sum of its parts; it is a building crafted for a particular time and place, evoking a scale and texture characteristic of the

535 CARLTON / Brooklyn, NY At 535 Carlton there are 298 rental units designed to address the issues of sustainable, affordable housing in New York City. Situated at the corner of Dean and Carlton, the adjacent streetscape is a place of masonry, textures, light and shadow, and dappled sunlight across sidewalks. The direction of our design is to translate bricks and mortar into a building that creates an extension of the vibrant surrounding neighborhood of Prospect Heights. The building form is articulated as a careful composition of masonry and expansive windowed volumes that gradually setback from a 60’ high street wall on Dean Street. Through a series of terraces, the buildings creates a transition from the sidewalk and pedestrian scale of Prospect Heights to an appropriate “bookend” that frames the new public park and surrounding future buildings along Atlantic Avenue. The design aesthetic for 535 Carlton is a reflection of our pursuit of minimal, elegant detailing that will establish a high level of quality for all the buildings to be built around Pacific Park. The façade details celebrate the craft and workmanship of masonry construction, and evokes a sincere respect for the human scale, proportion, and texture that is characteristic of the neighborhood. Views to the public park and natural daylight are prioritized, connecting residents with nature and natural cycles. On each floor, daylit elevator vestibules provide every single resident direct views of Pacific Park. At the street, the residential entry is designed to provide open vistas through the lobby, allowing a visual connection from the street to the public space of the park beyond. Significant landscaped space is planned to be distributed throughout the “fifth façade” of the rooftop, terraces, and setbacks. The ability to have nature at multiple levels and multiple scales will provide people the opportunity to get their “hands in the dirt.” Urban agriculture and residential gardens are fundamental elements that we are incorporating as integral parts of the design. This direct connection to nature reflects how we see people living and interacting with their neighbors in the building. The landscaped terraces will provide residents with expansive vistas of Brooklyn, Prospect Park, and even the harbor beyond.

510 W 22nd STREET / New York, NY COOKFOX Architects Commercial Client: The Albanese Organization Inspired by both its proximity to the High Line and our pursuit of biophilic design, 510 West 22nd Street provides maximum visual and physical connection to the landscaped environment of the High Line and views of the Hudson River beyond. Designed to achieve a LEED Platinum rating and offer an office environment unlike any other, 510 West 22nd Street sets new standards of health and productivity in the modern workplace. A glass-enclosed lobby captures natural light from the High Line above and offers tenants and visitors a view of the ground level garden as they approach the elevator banks. Relating to the park's infrastructure, the glass curtain wall is interspersed with structural elements in dark charcoal metal and all terraces feature natural wood ceilings that recall the plantings and wood benches below. The rooftop garden further enhances the connection to the surrounding natural environment with mobile planters installed on tracks that resemble the High Line's original train tracks as well as the rolling chaise lounges in place in the park today. Office spaces at 510 West 22nd have been designed to create a professional environment that supports the health, well being, and productivity of its employees. Large, light-filled floors with a state-of-the-art under-floor air distribution system are adaptable to a wide range of users, engineered for comfort and high-performance, and create direct connection between tenants and the sights and sounds of the surrounding neighborhood. Throughout the main area of each floor, tenants and visitors experience panoramic views over the High Line and West Chelsea as a result of panoramic ten foot wide lengths of glass and support columns pulled back 15' from the perimeter window walls. Brise-soleil solar shades installed on the exterior of the building allow abundant natural light to enter work areas while mitigating glare and reducing heat load. Operable window panels also enable tenants to enjoy fresh air and listen to birds living in the High Line's birch tree thicket below. Taking cues from the way the High Line has artfully woven a dynamic green corridor into the surrounding urban infrastructure, 510 West 22nd Street features over 15,000 square feet of outdoor space for office tenants' use. In particular, landscaped terraces cut into the building profile on the second and seventh floors, offering intimate views of the landscape and trees along the High Line as well as views of the Midtown Manhattan skyline beyond.
100 VANDAM STREET / New York, NY COOKFOX Architects Residential Client: Jeff Green Designed as a vertical enlargement on top of the existing 100 Vandam beautiful brick corner building, it benefits from newly rezoned district.

DALLAS HOLOCAUST MUSEUM / Dallas, TX In an effort to expand their mission and public programs, the Dallas Holocaust Museum organized a competition for conceptual design. Partnering with Overland Partners of San Antonio, CJS was a finalist in this three-phase intensive study. Located in Dallas’s downtown warehouse district, the proposed museum’s distinctive massing serves as a counterpoint to the adjacent brick buildings. Simple in its geometry, the tower rises on the northern edge of the site from a single story plinth. With its retention of the street edge, the building is both urbane and monumental. Sheared in section, the façade is a composition of white marble and translucent glass channel. Inside the base, a large, circular courtyard with a rippling pool provides a setting for groups and individuals to have meaningful discourse. The museum asked for a design that adhered to their content in a very specific way, with the emphasis on a linear promenade leading to an area of contemplation. The program consists of 55,000SF of interior space, including permanent and children’s exhibitions, a library, theater, and additional support areas composing a full-service museum.

MIAO CULTURAL ECO TOURISM / Guizhou, China design for a hotel as a part of Miao cultural development was carried out at a design studio at OSU comprised of M.Arch and L.Arch students and in collaboration with MIT Architecture Department. with a population of 8,940,116, the Miao people form one of the largest ethnic minorities in southwest China. Miao villages are comprised of a few families, and are scattered on mountain slopes and plains with easy access to transport links. Utilizing ethnic cultural resources for tourism development, and yet protecting the local cultural heritage, is a world-wide challenge The basis of the tourism potential of Guizhou Province lies in it’s unique combination of rich mysterious cultures set in the stunning scenery of a Karst plateau. later I and few other students from OSU and MIT were selected to accompany Professor Jullian on her trip to China to demonstrate the development plan to Chinese officials.

LAGI 2012 COMPETITION ENTRY / New York City, NY, USA Land Art Generator competition was looking for ideas of pragmatic art installation for Freshkills Park, Staten Island, New York City. Energy consideration was a critical requirement of the competition. Proposed design should capture energy, convert it into electricity, and have the ability to store and/or transform and transmit the electrical power. iIt would be a smart decision to use local sources of renewable energy to preoduce electricity. For this reason solar panels are used in sunny regions and wind turbines in windy ones. Probably the oldest source of renewable energy which is now not used as often is Manpower, That is the form of energy that made the great pyramids. This form of kinetic energy exists in its greatest abundance in today’s New York City but unfortunately is not being used in an efficient way. Calorie Park is an idea that looks into converting mechanical energy produced by enthusiastic athletes into electricity while providing them a pleasing workout experience. The scheme is consisted of of clusters of interconnected pods that house different fitness equipment. Built-in equipment collect mechanical energy produced by users and convert it to electricity.
