Mosque In The City:

The project called for a Mosque to be designed into the urban fabric of Harvard Square, by using our own programmatic elements we were able to capture what we felt suited the site and its context best.

Surrounding Context

Public Transportation

Religious Context

Pedestrian Accessibility

Project Goal:

The end goal was to create a place of worship that incorporates other elements to attract more people into the space. Transparency is key to the design, by having a more open floor plan and facade it will be less intimidating to the community.

LES Is More Studio

In this comprehensive studio the project called for a boutique hotel in the Lower East Side of Manhattan the approach started with illustration of narratives, these short stories which gave life and meaning to the site. Based off context, the narratives developed into two concept driven terms which dictated design choices until the latest iteration. Those two words being Memory & Artifact.

The Wellness Cooperative Competition Proposal

Located at 45 Linnaean St in Cambridge is an affordable housing building with 24 total studio units, the current residents of the building are elderly and disabled people, the task at hand was to redesign the building to be fitted with two and three bedroom units to supply the demand for affordable housing in the city of Cambridge. The teams goal was to design a building that encourages healthy living habits, such as gardening and human interaction. The Wellness Cooperative Project is fitted with 18 studios 8 two bedroom units and 4 three bedroom units, this creates diversity within the building. The new design also incorporates a community PC Cafe, farmers market, and gardening space for the residents.

1. Small Footprint

6. Extra Insulation

2. Passive Solar Heating

7. Passive Cooling

Excessive oor area waists heating and cooling energy.

Facing most of the glass area South will maximize winter sun exposure.

3. Interior Heat Gain

Tight and well insulated units will provide interior heat gain from lights, people, and equipment thus reducing heating needs.

4. Protected Outdoor Space Having the outside edge of the building facing North can deeect cold prevailing winds.

5. High Eﬃciency Furnace Should prove cost eﬀective.

Might prove cost eﬀective, and will increase occupant comfort by keeping temperature uniform.

Utilizing passive cooling strategies like natural ventilation, air cooling, and shades can reduce your demand for mechanical cooling.

8. Parking

Placing the parking spaces under the building at ground level will reduce non-permeable surface area.

7. 1.

9. Rainwater Retension

Retaining rain water can be a valuable way to reduce or even eliminate a building's use of municipal water.

10. Operable Sun Shades

Sun shades can reduce heat gain from summer sun, nearly eliminating the need for air-conditioning.

The Cook-house

Following the competition we were given the task of molding the Wellness Cooperative into our individualized project, where we would approach the design with a new concept. This new concept allows people to congregate through the iterative and social experience of cooking and dining. The goal is to reduce the social barrier between those living in the affordable housing building and in the surrounding community.

Layout design is based on the social experience of the concept which can be seen on a multitude of scales ranging from site to single unit.

Two types of dining spaces were created to balance the experience, the larger kitchen space is meant for the residents to host parties of people. The other space is more typical of a cafe with staff and intimate seating.
