HOUSE to LIVE and WORK Charlottesville, VA The Project consists of four stories as well as a basement where an arist and wine merchan can live, practice, and conduct business from their home.

Design elements consist of a large door that opens up to the street, inviting guests in from the downtown mall and historical district as well as providing ample ventilation for the home.

PEQUOD CONCRETE RESEARCH Charlottesville, VA Studio focused on using Ductal high performance concrete as a basis for design innovation. Semester project revolved around developing a useable sculpture that could be used by faculty and students for special events and everyday activities.

After review from the University Board, a one year lease was granted for the project. The construct is still in place today, two years following its completion.

MIAMI MASTER PLAN Miami, FL The project focused on the site of the existing building for the Miami Herald, headquarters of the local paper for over fifty years.

The reimagining of the space took on a fluid geometry in both plan and section.

A key aspect of the design was drawing the Biscayne Bay into the site with the addition of a small dock for local water taxis.

A cantilevered Transportation Hub stretches over the water taxi crevice, overlooking the bay. The Northwest corner includes a towering hotel while the southern edge contains a small artist village, populated with gallery/ studio residential properties.

This MasterPlan became the base layer of the following project in which a piece would be further developed, in this case the library, located at the Southeast corner.

MIAMI ART and FILM CENTER The concept began as a fold. Out of the landscape a promenade would serve as the connection to the transportation hub from the museum and public parks to the south. The original plan of a single fold became problematic because the slope required such a great span in order to reach the Hub, four stories above.

The site connects under the MacArthur Causeway, following the bay south into Bicentennial Park.

The Promenade wraps under the bridge, morphing from concrete to greenscapes climbing the intensive roof garden.

To utilize the space below the gradual slope, split levels are created on the first floor, including a large theatre, projection room in the southwest corner..

CULTIVATING WALKABILITY Brooklyn, New York, NY The map to the right highligts the site, chosen as a point of rejuvination imagined as a model for walkability.

The eight diagrams, illustrated far right, explore different variations of incorporating a new promenade into the existing infrastructure. Ultimately, it was decided to create a hybrid of characteristics drawn from each diagram.

The design intends to draw residents out to the waterfront with public programs such as soccer and basketball courts, water features, retail, office, gallery space and a transportation hub.

Gabion walls articulate the promenade of the site, flood pockets and protective barriers slow gradual flooding of the site and aid in resisting sudden storm surges.

At moments the walls are a barrier with heavy vegetation, other times it may serve as a place of rest. By changing the gabions function over long distances, the monotony of the walk is abridged, allowing pedestrians interaction with the path in a number of ways.

Water flows continuously beneath bike paths and pedestrian bridges.

Vegetation is bountiful, but the experience is not dependent on that of a garden, but rather the fluid motion of water, manipulated to mimic and engage the movement of pedestrians.

[ECO] COMUNIDAD Tijuana, Mexico [Eco] Comunidad was entered in the Arquine No. 14 2014 competition. Bringing 425 teams from 22 countries, the project placed as a finalist among the top thirty.

The concept is a community based off a current conservation project operating in Tijuana, EcoParque.

The Park uses wastewater from 10,000 inhabitants generating 900,000 gallons to irrigate a once desolate arid hillside, previously used as a dumpsite for nearby residents.

[Eco} Comunidad would be a continuation of that principle. Located at the El Chapperal Bridge in Tijuana, near the San Ysidro/ Mexican border, the community becomes a waypoint for travelers crossing into the nearby strip and iconic archway entrance to Tijuana.

Utilizing the same system as EcoParque, the large public spaces of rich vegetation becomes an educational tool revealing how the design recycles waste into a useable resource.

EcoCommunidad reinvents the aqueduct below the El Chapparel Bridge in Tijuana, Mexico which remains relatively barren for most of the year.

The once dry planes become rich fields of vegatation made possible with the waste produced by dwellings overlooking the site.

Retail space below the complex draws tourists in from the border to the existing strip located southwest of the site.

Residential Units 54 units, varying between two and three bedrooms, make up the small residential of EcoComunidad. Refugee units will be subsidized and are dispersed throughout. Each unit is designed with additional storage space. Refugees and residents alike will profit from the opportunities and environment provided by EcoComunidad. Refugees would have the opportunity to rent or live in a unit for an extended period of time. EcoComunidad would act as a stepping stone to or become a permanent residence.

Education Center The Education Center houses over nine classrooms as well as the education fields where community members can take classes in agriculture and other horticulture. The rooftop serves as a large public green in addition to supplementary practice space for students.

Exhibit + Gallery Space The new community center will bring local members of the community together with new exhibit and gallery space.

Indoor Market Space The Indoor Market space provides space to vendors for extended periods of time. Indoor space is air conditioned and more permanent, offering vendors the opportunity to become part of the community indefinitely.

Art Plaza

Market Plaza The Market Plaza will provide a large public space for vendors to sell their goods. If a vendor is successful they may be able to rent indoor space and gain a more permanent place within EcoComunidad. All market space is shaded by the promenade and apartments above.

The Art Plaza will serve as outdoor exhibition and gathering space for public events. The plaza opens up to the new promenade above with a wide staircase.

Vegetal Wall 128’

Blackwater from the apartments above will provide irrigation to large panels shielding entryways from harsh southern light.

STEINBRENNER RECITAL HALL

Recital Hall

Gainesville, FL The goals of this project are rooted in the creation of successful public nodes. The site experiences a large amount of circulation throughout the school year and it was important this was not affected.

Sound Locks Each entry to the recital hall has a sound lock. The floors are carpeted and the walls in these spaces are lined with absorbent cloth to ensure sound does not penetrate the exterior lobby.

Loudness + Clarity Heavy massive concrete cores placed at corners to provide loudness. The thickened walls in addition provide angular reflections behind the audience for soundwaves from performers to envelope the space.

Ceiling Panels Curved panels above the audience chamber provide coplanar reflections aiding in the spaciousness and intimacy of the sound. The panels above the stage are angled toward the audience, directing the sound outward.

Localization Direct sight lines between the performer and the audience aid in the perception of which direction the sound is coming from.

All seats within the theatre have a direct line of sight with the performer.

Sound Isolation In order to minimize sound transition a multi layered system of 2� concrete slabs is used, encasing the performance hall.

High Ceilings

Additional space above the stage allows for sound to build, balance, and blend before it reaches the audience. Additional reverberation space is provided above the audience.
