Spaces are organized with more public, high traffic areas closer to the entrance, and quieter areas spreading out from there. Ancillary spaces are organized orthogonally around the three organic ‘park’ spaces.

ART GALLERY REVIT

5,000 SQ FT

6 WEEKS

Individual Project

Objective

To design an art gallery to display the work of cutting-edge artists in a variety of mediums including photography, sculpture, paintings, multimedia, etc. and the private living quarters for the clients running the gallery.

Location

Located in an up and coming city in upstate NY within the Rust Belt. The clients purchased two adjoining, three-story brick row houses dating back to the turn of the last century that will be combined into one building to house the gallery.

C O N C E P T

The boat locks along the Erie Canal historically supported the flourishing of cities in the rust belt by carrying boats from one elevation to the next, through equal rise and fall of water. Imprint gallery embodies the expressions of push and pull, positive and negative, mass and void; it reflects the motion of the boats through the locks, as well as the impact and impression that experience of art has on users. The spatial ‘imprints’ throughout the gallery serve to highlight the art displayed and carry the user from one exhibit to the next.

Healthcare Research And Simulation Center

11,500 SQ FT REVIT

7 WEEKS INDIVIDUAL PROJECT

Objective

To design a space that will support creation, prototyping and testing towards the future of healthcare, both in institutional and home settings. The space will be used by several disciplines and may serve engineers, healthcare professionals, human factors researchers, product designers, as well as supporting training and community education purposes.

Location

Interlock is located in a historic trolley building adjacent to the Memorial Bridge in Roanoke, VA. As an adaptive reuse project, it was important for there to be a sight line from front to back at some point in the space. There was also an existing brick and concrete structure in the space.

C O N C E P T

The multiple users and uses of the space interlock in this simulation and research center to complete innovation in the healthcare industry. There are many examples in which separate entities lock together to create a complete functioning unit, such as in a gear system or a puzzle, and even in the trolley track system representing the history of the space. Similarly, the space will prioritize bringing these different user groups together and emphasize the adjacencies where their needs overlap
