Recently opened, The Cape Loft seeks to blend contemporary amenities with traditional coastal sensibilities in a warm environment. The goal of the hotel is to be a design-driven and outdoorsinspired alternative to local traditional hotels and dated vacation rentals. Nestled within a residential neighborhood, the hotel takes the form of three tall, slender buildings connected with open-air walkways. The roof wraps the East side of each of the buildings to provide privacy between rooms and block noise from the adjacent highway. Each of the three buildings stair-step North to provide every balcony with an ocean view to the West. Natural tongue and groove cedar siding and custom large format cedar shingles will in time match the weathered facades of the adjacent homes to blend a contemporary form with a traditional color and material palette. www.archcapeloft.com

Situated on one of the last oceanfront properties in Falcon Cove, form follows function with this project. Long considered unbuildable due to an eroding coast line and septic requirements, strict site constraints gave shape to this unique home. An available building footprint of only 45’ x 10’ lead to this configuration. A “rocklike” plinth supports a cantilevered living space above, gently touching the ground in precise, thoughtful moments.

A fast-growing brewery was seeking to expand it’s Slabtown, Portland location. With all other spaces in the building occupied by other tenants, the only way to go was up! A new rooftop bar, lounge area, and egress stair were designed to align with the Brewery’s brand identity and the design requirements of Portland. Outdoor fire pit areas, green walls, built-in seating and an indoor-outdoor bar area create an exciting place for locals and tourists to meet and enjoy a great Portland-based beer.

EAST FACADE
An addition to a Hamptons shingle-style home, this project sought to resolve the clients love of contemporary architecture with the traditional elements of the existing home. To the South, a new guest suite and gym addition was created by extending the existing roof and then slicing the buildings section. The section “reveals” a glass curtain wall that accentuates the curves of the existing roof. To the North, a new lounge and indoor/ outdoor bar space is created within a glass pavilion that is tucked under an existing Master Bedroom deck. The Northeast corner of the box slides away to create a covered outdoor entertainment space on the patio.

The Ljubljanica River bisects the old district within the historic city of Ljubljana, Slovenia. In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s a series of pedestrian and vehicular transit bridges were constructed to unite the city. One such pedestrian footbridge has far surpassed its life expectancy and needs to be replaced. The local Slovenian government initiated a competition to find a more modern design. The infinity bridge attempts to reduce the feeling of boundaries that are common with conventional bridges. New, unobstructed views of the city are provided from the center of the river. Existing bridges in the city are often used as places to meet, but rarely to gather. By incorporating public seating into the form, it is our hope that the bridge itself becomes a gathering place to stop and enjoy the scenery of this beautiful city.

The Intercity Vienna project is a proposal for the development of a new urban area adjacent to the main rail station in Vienna. The project brief states: “The Intercity should be a hybrid district, where high-profitability business facilities are in tune with hotels of a new quality and provide public inner and exterior spaces.” The proposal is to build six hexagonal buildings (baukoerper) that sit on four islands (insel). The islands become building podiums. Modifications to the size, shape and space between the four islands determine the character of the external space at the urban or city level. The panelized building facades act as a “secondary skin” that react to different environmental conditions such as wind, sun exposure and noise levels. Defined spaces are created as the facade comes in contact with the ground.

Furniture Line
DESIGN ROLE: Owner Designer Fabricator CNC Operator
As the owner and operator of SixQuarter LLC, it is my aim to bring uniquely designed and quality crafted furniture to my fellow young (and young-at-heart) professionals. In a rebuke of disposable IKEA furniture, I want to build the first piece of furniture that our customer would have forever. All larger furniture pieces, like the Sawtooth Shelf (see below) are designed to be delivered flat-packed, and easily disassembled and moved at a later date.
TWIST TABLE LEG INTERSECTION
Evenings were spent at the fabrication facility in New Jersey developing and testing prototypes. Once the prototypes were perfected, I transitioned to working hand in hand with outside fabricators to bring pieces to market. 1. Sawtooth Shelf: This custom serrated bookshelf can be free standing or placed against a wall and will seamlessly compliment your home, office, or retail decor. Designed to be flat packed, shipped, and assembled by the consumer. It can be easily disassembled and reassembled for relocation.
SAWTOOTH SHELF HARDWARE CONNECTION
2. Twist Table: Conceptually simple, four table legs are wrapped around each other to form an elegantly interlocking, geometric base that is on display under a 1/4″ thick glass top. Four chrome plated rare-earth magnets are fixed to the underside of the glass top and lock it in place with corresponding magnets embedded into the maple base. SAWTOOTH SHELF DISASSEMBLED
