DROP-INN CENTER, HOMELESS SHELTER3.300 m2OVER-THE-RHINE, CINCINNATI, OHIOJUNE 2009FREELANCE COMPETITION, 3rd PRIZE
projectsize locationdatetype
Designed with two others, this open competition entry renovates and expands an existing homeless shelter, in the process proposing a new model for the homeless shelter and it’s role in the community.
The Cincinnati neighborhood of Over-the-Rhine contains an abundance of outreach services, which through their individual isolation have created a pattern of compartmentalization within the surrounding community. In this project the inclusion of socially and environmentally sustainable constructs counter such developments, engendering a new interface. A public face along Elm Street provides for shared services and interaction between residents and community: laundry/dry cleaning, dining hall/meeting hall, pasta cafe, and an extension into Washington Park for a geo-exchange air intake with projection screen. Integration supports the mission of the Drop-Inn Center as jobs are provided for recovery unit residents, skill sets are shared, and community is established.
Left: The entire ground floor is occupied by programs that function both as places of work for residents and points of business interaction with the local community.
Below: Many local businesses provide or participate in some form of outreach program. While great in number, their lack of meaningful interaction with the larger community generates minimal long-term impact.

While both visually and physically permeable, the project values privacy. By extending beyond the borders of the site and activating the streetscape, the residents are able to find their own place within varying layers of communal interaction. The project is not limited by the site. It rejects compartmentalization and its resultant tensions. It is a place of interface between the troubled and the well-off, between a historical neighborhood and innovative green technologies.
Within the new Drop Inn Center site the outdoor recreation area has been de-centralized and acts to order and link programmed spaces. As an interface with the nearby park, this solution allows for safe communal areas which look upon the green-space, as well as expanding one’s perception of the park’s scale.
Green spaces are veiled by a thin skin of automated metal and glass fins that line the east facade. This skin provides visual pull into the neighborhood from Central Parkway, while also shielding the building from direct morning sun, accelerating prevailing winds through the green spaces, adding reflected light to eastern glazing late in the day, and aiding in night flushing by capturing breezes blowing into the city basin from the hills.

Building BlocksAs a member of a three person design team I played an integral part in the development of the Children’s Interactive Museum from Concept Design to Construction Documents.
The museum is located in the King Abdullah Financia District (KAFD) in Riyadh where it acts as one of nine “cultural attractors” in the district which will become an active urban space comprising financial institutions, residential and recreational areas, shops, restaurants, hotels and sports facilities. The development will refocus the economic, cultural, and urban center of Riyadh northward away from the old city center.
Composed of intersecting cubes, the building takes on a distinct yet easily legible organization, with each box holding a different exhibit and voids between them filtering the intense Arabian sun down to the lobby. With its complex internal spatial configuration generated by the intersecting cube volumes the museum itself becomes a place of discovery, with multiple circulation paths and secret shortcuts between exhibits.
In a country known for its religious, social and educational conservatism the museum will provide a high-profile venue for children to engage with one another, unfold their creativity and imagination, and gain an understanding of the world through exploration.
Mosaic tiles of varying size clad the entire building providing a monolithic appearance from afar while offering variation of colors and textures up close.

Designed with two others, this open competition entry provides Ryerson University of Toronto, Canada a dense urban high-rise dormitory which keeps student life connected to the city.
In the search for a building that represents the residential and academic aspirations of the university, a dynamic strategy and icon is necessary. Ryerson gains much from its location as an urban campus, and in this way the life of the city is the life of the university. The project recognizes this and expounds upon the urban quality afforded by the urban condition. Typical high-rise residential towers are constructions of isolation, placing their occupants in a state of disconnection from the urban streetscape. Unlike the generic residential tower, the dynamic street provides informal gathering space for chance meetings, pageantry, and the exchange of knowledge. If the advantage of Ryerson’s location is its place in Toronto, then the advantage of a residential tower is its place within the city. With this in mind, the project rejects disconnection and extends the street vertically.
A survey of the surrounding community led to the generation of specific programmatic groupings that reflect urban diversity and provide a service to local residents. In order to maintain a link with the city, these social, cultural, commercial and communal functions are placed throughout the building, along the vertical street. The insertion of programs found in the diverse urban landscape of Toronto functionally and visually reconnects the university residence community with the city and vice versa.
With verticality comes the challenge of circulation. The horizontal street presents continuous experience, while the tower must balance moments of stimulation throughout its height in order to extend this condition. The vertical street is a combination of visual and spatial connections afforded by folded plates, escalators, stairs, atria and overlooks. Public elevators facilitate circulation much like a subway, stopping at nodes of communal space. Three-floor, residential neighborhoods are linked by interior atria and stairs, conceptualized as private alleys. Private skip-stop elevators further encourage the development of these neighborhoods. Streets and alleys combine to extend the street, creating a residential tower not above the city and campus, but a connected, dynamic extension of the urban streetscape.

A comprehensive survey of local commercial and social conditions informed communal programs to be included in the building and what voids in the macro urban environment could potentially be filled with the new infrastructure.
A sampling of the macro urban social, cultural, and commercial environment is compressed vertically.
Hotspots of activity throughout the building are linked directly by elevator and indirectly through stairs and atria. Allowing visitors to interact with residents much the same way they would at street level.

Skip-stop elevators, atria and stairs of the tower mimic the subway, streets and alleyways of the city, pulling the urban streetscape upward.
The panelized, perforated metal facade allows for an ever-changing dialogue between the internal programmatic conditions and occupant needs, and external environmental and contextual concerns.

INTREPID SEA, AIR, AND SPACE MUSEUM3.500 m2 (main hangar deck)MANHATTAN, NEW YORKJUNE 2007 - MARCH 2008COMMISSION, Perkins+Wil l | Eva Maddox Branded Environments
projectsize locationdatetype
As a member of a five person team I participated in the renovation of the Intrepid Museum, situated on the Hangar deck of the USS Intrepid, from concept through to completion, ushering in a new chapter in the story of its service as a Navy Aircraft Carrier. The carrier, like all machines of war, is faced with the duality of its own history and that of the men who operated it. The new museum highlights this duality by dividing the deck into two zones with a suspended spine which holds artifacts and articulates these separate but intensely intertwined stories. The spine, composed of modular steel frame boxes, can be removed or moved to allow for curatorial adjustment. This spine reflects back to the tectonics of the carrier but is separated physically so as not to mask the brutal yet meticulously streamlined architecture of the vessel, allowing the ship itself to remain the primary spectacle.
Opposite, top: USS Intrepid under renovation in dry-dock on Staten Island, NY.
Opposite, bottom: Early physical model studying articulation of spine and interaction of accompanying artifacts.
Below: Different spine conditions allow for the inclusion of a variety of machine or human artifacts including utensils, uniforms, chairs, radios, engines, and aircraft wings.`Right: Plan of air craft carrier hangar deck showing the spine separating the two narratives of the vessel; the large-scale “machine” and the more intimate “human” side.

projectsize locationdatetype
Working as part of a three person team at Henning Larsen Middle East, this project is designed to break the typical isolating nature of expatriate compounds in Saudi Arabia.
The proposal suggests a dense and economical complex, which explores the variety and richness of modular systems. Inspired by basic Arabian housing and its combinations of cubic elements, a simple system, after undergoing multiple
permutations, offers a plethora of possible “housing anagrams” to match the variety of lifestyles, nationalities and family structures present.
The residential units are interlocked forming a dense double-perimeter block, creating a private street circling the complex and reserving a generous park as the focal point of the project.

ROYAL WEDDING CELEBRATION HALL38.000 m2RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIAFEBRUARY 2011COMPETITION, Henning Larsen Middle East
projectsize locationdatetype
Entry view at night from surrounding garden.
Developed on a three person team, in consultation with a member of the Saudi Royal family, the design provides a straightforward, flexible venue for the male Saudi wedding ceremony, while delivering a clear, bold testament to its social and cultural importance.
Located among the embassies in Riyadh’s Diplomatic Quarter, the Celebration Hall will be host to the male side of Saudi Arabian royal weddings. Despite the often-extravagant nature of the royal family, the male wedding ceremony is remarkably understated. This is reflected in the straightforward programmatic requirements and is manifested in the form of the building.
The program is separated into three large public spaces and a series of smaller service and administrative areas. A slight variation on the traditional Saudi dwelling yields two halls and the ancillary spaces positioned around a triangular primary gathering hall. This organization produces three equally dramatic conic entrances for Staff, Guests, and Royalty altogether forming a giant hexagon. In this way the design seeks to interpret the careful order of a mosaic, as an expression of an underlying culture.
Inside, an exposed three-way beam structure spanning over the Main Hall links the three halls. This “structural chandelier” reflects the movement of wedding guests through each hall and shades the main hall from direct sunlight through overhead skylights, rendering all other decorations unnecessary.
