Currently a Designer at Touloukian Touloukian Inc, I find great interest in civic minded projects that aim to think creatively towards each design challenge as unique opportunities. In my professional experiences I have worked on new construction, adaptive re-use and renovation projects over a wide variety of typologies from multi-family residential to cultural, mixed-use development, commercial, and historic preservation. I have directly overseen responsibilities in all design phases from schematic to construction administration working for clients in both the public and private sectors. The select projects outlined below have provided exposure in managing consultant teams and tracking deliverables between multiple projects at one time. As I look forward to new pursuits I am consistently advancing my technical skillsets in standard practices as well as engaging in tangent subjects around sustainability, resiliency, landscape architecture and urban design.

A new restaurant building and park is situated along Grand River Avenue leading into the center of downtown Detroit. The urban revitalization project and new public space was created to anchor the emerging neighborhood, spur economic development, and provide a quality place for the community to be active in the city’s resurgent and vibrant downtown. Central to its modern geometry are strong cantilevered roof forms and a grand stair leading to a roof deck. Connections to the park landscape are further created through a green roof, and sliding glass walls that provide flexible indoor/outdoor experiences that support multiple building uses. The project is pending LEED Silver certification.

The project site is located in the City Point Neighborhood of South Boston adjacent to the Harbor waterfront. An existing warehouse building is to be demolished and replaced with both a 10-unit and 9-unit new construction buildings built above an underground parking garage for 32 parking spots with access off 6th St. Central to the two buildings is a shared community courtyard that is co-planar with 5th St. The project design separates the main residential program between two buildings, providing frontage on both main streets which are consistent in scale and distribution with the surrounding residential fabric. The two buildings are offset in alignment through the site, producing a diversity of views through the site and to the streets beyond.The form and window fenestration mediates the varying building scales along the street and reinterprets the simple traditional triple decker, while also meeting the economic demands of development.

A previous space of an art institute in Brookline, MA, the building has been re-purposed into a new cultural center for Soka Gakkai International. The project includes the assessment of an existing facility which houses office and conference rooms, meditation rooms, reception and lobby spaces, interior exhibition, and an outdoor landscape plaza. A palette of wood, painted brick, and articulated greenery create an accepting atmosphere that reflects the ideals and identity of SGI. The motif of wood and light carries through the re-invented entry and atrium space where an articulation of skylights work into a double height lobby space, highlighting a connection to the main worship space and additional program beyond.

Reclaiming an old industrial lot, a new construction 11 unit housing development in South Boston is currently being designed with views of downtown and the South Boston waterfront. Located on an urban neighborhood corner, the design promotes outdoor living with cantilevered decks clad in wood which provide a private, covered outdoor spaces for each tenant. The 4 story massings sits aligned with its neighboring building and provides a perforated brick base at the parking garage for a friendly pedestrian experience along the streetfront. Hardiplank siding and moments of sheet metal are used on the primary facades which pay homage to the historic South Boston neighborhood aesthetic.

A twenty-one story NetZero Energy and Net Zero Water (projected) mixed use tower is hinged between multiple neighborhoods in downtown Boston. Adjacent to a public park and fully exposed on all sides, the community input led the design to include a building opening or “mouth” that allows natural light to flood across the site in all seasons. The envelope was beveled to create additional sloped surface areas for solar PV panels, awnings and glass. Almost 60% of energy is generated on site and the remainder is purchased through Green Certified off-site renewable energy sources in order to achieve Net Zero Energy (NZEB:D). The project is a flagship mixed-use building and a new standard for sustainability, and work life balance with projected WELL Gold and LEED platinum certification.

Innovations (applicable to credits V05, V09, M09, C02)
This project feature proposes the re-use of an abandoned MBTA train tunnel as a new public way to connect the site and building users to significant green space and transit stops. Opened in 1897, the Pleasant Street Incline was an entrance to the underground train network for streetcar lines. Closed in 1950 and filled over in 1975, our proposal re-invents the historic portal once again as a city ammenity that promotes wellness for the neighborhood. In addition to the enhanced access to nature, this project feature re-discovers a significant part of Boston’s public transit system, letting users interact with a unique piece of the city’s history and culture.

Pier 8 Marina Building Charlestown, MA Located in the Navy Shipyard of Charlestown, MA, Pier 8 is one of many piers along the Boston coastline that are affected by climate change and new development. Working within best practices for climate change adaptation and resiliency for new construction, the design includes a new construction first level wood deck platform set above the category three storm elevation, and the second floor set above the category four storm elevation. Located directly along the State mandated Chapter 91 Harborwalk, the building massing is offset on the ground floor in order to provide a social gathering space open to the public. The Harborwalk extends from the Pier to the water’s edge with a new floating public dock and public event space.
Step 1 – basic program volume with limited chapter 91 harbor walk, and existing dock configuration.
Step 2 – elevated wood deck set above category three storm surge and extension of harbor walk.
Step 3 – offset program volume to support social gathering at public space along harborwalk.
Step 4 – offset building volumes and building facets that provide multiple view angles.

Private Development - Cambridge Area Cambridge, MA A new construction retail and office building part of a larger urban master plan. The site challenges include mediating between the historical context of a neighboring hotel, street wall, as well as the frequent pedestrian and vehicular traffic with loading requirements. To maintain the function of the site and adjacent operations, the project includes prefabricated systems such as CLT slab and wall construction, glazed curtain-wall panels, and masonry premanufactured panels. The material choices help create a transparent public ground level that continues the street life along the highly trafficked urban corridor. The project is designed to be LEED Gold.

181 Coleridge Ave Residences East Boston, MA Located in East Boston, this new multi-family residential development faces many challenges as a waterfront site already affected by the rising coastal tides surrounding the Boston Harbor. The project focuses resiliency planning and Chapter 91 public spaces to benefit each other and the growing neighborhood. In addition to the 19 residential units, the site features a central courtyard which helps elevate the building access points above the FEMA floodplains and gently slopes down toward the waterfront using native plantings and rain gardens to help control the on-site storm water. An independent townhouse to the residential side of the site helps bridge the small scale residential street language into the larger and modernly detailed development abutting the large public spaces of the beach and parkway. view corridor solar gain water infiltration harborwalk fpa space abutting rooflines parking entry
