DAN

JOR ST.

The facade treatment and structure attempt to accomplish an array of tasks. The arched structure recalls the docks that filled the area before the South End was filled in. These symbolize a connection or bridging of cultures.

The openness and warmth they provide on the ground floor creates a welcoming facade. The sculptural fins aim the views from the bookend buildings, while reflecting light inside, as well as reflecting light back down into the woonerf and laconia path. The light brick treatment of the townhouses references the brick townhouses of the area while still reflecting light.

T. S Y R R PE

HARRISON AVE.

The bookend buildings feature a modern glassy facade. These more sculptural buildings speak to the community and illustrate their welcoming program. Raised in the center are townhouses with a more solid facade relating to the classic south end townhouse typology. The townhouses in my design are up-scale single family dwellings, each with 3 bedrooms. These are designed to help pay for the community program. Facing the park is an expansive market and restaurant building. Under the townhouses is a mix of the market and art space with an artisan market for different artists, chefs, and bakers. Facing SOWA is a large gallery building to strengthen the arts district.

WASHINGTON ST.

The Hub on Perry St aims to weave the different cultures of the south end together in one community oriented space. More directly, the site provides for the adjacent park, as well as the proposed townhouses, apartments, and hotel. The building is organized with an open first floor plan full of public space, as well as two bookend buildings that serve the community.

VIEW FROM LACONIA

VIEW FROM THE BALCONY OF SITE B

Terraced walkways serve as private pedestrian streets leading to the townhouses. The walkway undulates creating small balcony type spaces where residents can get outside, gather, and connect with their neighbors.

The facade along Perry St. is a blend of privacy and transperency. The lower floor features a arcade space that gives the pedestrians a covered space to walk. Above the townhouses jut out, with a more solid facade. The townhouses without roof decks feature a small balcony off of their first floor that allows them to experience the woonerf from their own home.

Four units also have roof decks that give them an expansive outdoor space similar to the backyard areas of Union Park.

VIEW FROM PETERS PARK

The plaza serves as an extension of the market and surrounding commercial space.

Here, food trucks can park, and people can eat outside at the tables. On the Jordan side a drop of space is located where people can wait for rides and sit along the sculptural vegitated bench.

VIEW INSIDE THE GALLERY

VIEW FROM THE BAR OVERLOOKING PETERS

Movable walls allow the exhibit to change and reorganize. The walls also create opportunities to controlling light and privacy within the exhibit. Different angles can be used to alter the circulation through the space as well.

The entire market building offers 180 views of the Boston skyline, and Peter’s park. The upper floors especially will offer some of the best views in the South End with restaurant and bar. Here you can see the facade stepping back to the arched structure to create expansive balcony space overlooking the park and woonerf.

VIEW COMING FROM SOWA

AXON LOOKING EAST

SOWA PAC ARCH515

Render: View from Washington Street The area of Boston is flourishing with artists and musicians, and the connection between this area and local arts in need of support and gallery spaces is a huge reason for the SOWA district being a center for creativity and expressiveness. Thayer Street is adjacent to the site, and this site acts as an extension of its ideas and expressiveness.

However, there is always a demand for low cost housing for artists. The target of this project is to create incubator spaces for artists and performers to hone their craft in independent environments, so they can create their own expressive works in select areas.

The vernacular brickwork of the South End juxtaposed with the industrial materiality of concrete, glazing and various metals creates a dialogue of old meets new, with the high end townhouses in the center acting as the anchor that ties the otherwise outlandish facades, like a lead weight for a boat.

The PAC is glazed overall, with express parts of the massing shielded and opened like the curtains of the Calderwood Pavilion to show the people performing inside, and focus the views towards the park, which will act as an extended audience space for the third floor double height balcony. The auditorium space on the top level acts as the focal point of the form, bellowing outwards to both express the program’s need for vaulted ceilings

existing site plan

The SOWA Live work BUilding will have movable facades on the Harrison side to allow the resident artists to control the level of light they have in their room, so that the media they work in, whether that’s photography, painting or sculpting, they will have the ability to control their environment as they require.

Ultimately, these three buildings are connected by both the muse on the parcel C side and the woonerf on the Parcel B side, acting as a division between public and private entrances.

PROJECT GOALS Create an incubator space for local artists for performance and visual media in industrial styled buildings

PETER’S PARK

STATISTICS

The Breezeway on Perry Concept - Form and Volume This proposed apartment complex extends the character of the neighborhood of the South End district through the introduction of ground level restuarants on Perry Street and a predestrian cut through that promotes movement from Thayer Street to Jordan Street. The buildings volume is independent from the base floor which keeps the historic ‘memory’ of the old Leon warehouse/factory with brick and curved forms; upper residential floors of the building embraces modern architecture with sharp angles. Residents living around the central courtyard can embrace the beauty and peace of the courtyard and where the view of the Jordan Lofts is also not disrupted. The building provides transparency and outdoor spaces to take advantage of the four seasons in Boston and also provides an astonishing view of the sunset overlooking Peters Park.
