Fairfield Beach Road ResidenceFairfield, CT: 2013 - Present

The Fairfield Beach Road Residence is a pri-vate residential rennovation that has been designed in response to Sandy. The client wanted to build resiliancy into their land-scape, while enhancing the views of Long Island Sound and protecting both theirs and adjacent residences from storm surges.

As part of a team at Artemis Landscape Architects I was directly responsible for construction document preparation for the entire project. I also preformed some quick 3-D modelling and rendering using Sketcup, Photoshop, and Kerkythea. Additionally, I designed a custom outdoor shower, and a custom Stainless Steel Fence.

For the Westport Residence Conceptual Plan I was responsible for preparing the pre-sentation rendering. This plan was rendered in Photoshop and Illustrator using a CAD base. I was also responsible for all conceptual grading on the project, and the preparation of construction documents including con-struction details and layout.

City of Bridgeport Streetscape GuidelinesBridgeport, CT : 2013 - 2014

In late 2013 the City of Bridgeport Down-town Special Services District approached Artemis Landscape Architects to develop a set of streetscape guidelines, and enhance-ments for downtown Bridgeport. On this project I was responsible for data col-lection, all GIS mapping, rendering, and assistance with report design and layout. I was also responsible for the prioritization of all opportunity areas. The finished product, a 130 page booklet has become the main-tenance and improvement guideline for the City of Bridgeport Downtown Special Services District. Currently several of the proposed projects are in various states of construction and schematic design.

Toward a Greener GowanusBrooklyn, NY: 2011

Toward a Greener Gowanus is a multifaceted project working to improve access, habitat, and remediation pollution along the Gowanus Canal. Major elements of the design include: a series of stormwater streets which help reduce CSO input; an esplanade that interacts dynamically with the canal and the surrounding built environment; a series of barges that function as community space, exhibition space and food production. The largest open space adjacent to the canal, Public Place, also features a hybrid poplar phytoremediation forest, where the trees are used to remove PAH’s and PCB’s from the soil. The sides of the canal have also had the bulkhead removed at strategic locations in order to re-establish a saltwater marsh ecosystem.

Green Street Network

The Green Street network serves two major pur-poses: filter and infiltrate stormwater entering the combined system and reduce CSO overflows within the canal, and create pleasant walking experiences connecting area neighborhoods to the canal.

Path and Marsh Sections

A key component of the Gowanus experience is the ability to get up near the canal. Instead of a unified esplanade along the canal, a common de-sign solution, I decided to vary the user experience. As a result, the esplanade goes through different layouts and widths from a wide 20’ down to a narrow 10’ in places where preexisting buildings abut the canal.

In order to help treat stormwater runoff into the canal and raise oxygen levels in the canal itself, I incorporated several habitat restoration sites in my plan for the Gowanus area. Where space permitted, I removed the existing bulkhead and restored the natural salt water marsh habitat. The section above shows the gradation of both slope and plant type along one of these restored sections

Perspectives

This perspective on the right offers a glimpse of the esplanade at one of its narrowest points, on the east side and directly adjacent to both the canal and the back of an existing building.

The section perspective above shows the swimming barge and the adjacent seating area at Public Place. The barge and other design in-terventions were chosen to address the surrounding neighborhood’s severe lack of green space.

The section perspective to the left shows a cross section of the amphitheater adjacent to the former BMT power station. The most difficult aspect of designing for this particular site was coming up with a way to incorporate green space while taking up about 15 feet of elevation change. My solution was to use industrial materials and produce an amphitheater. By varying the width of each level, my design creates small gathering and per-formance spaces within the larger space.

NYC AIDS MEMORIAL · SAINT VINCENT’S HOSPITAL

The AIDS Memorial Park and Museum at the St. Vincent’s Hospital site seeks to commemorate not only those lives lost since the epidemic reached New York City, but also the health care workers, researchers, and hospital that played such a critical role dur-ing the crisis. It must communicate and acknowledge the site’s unique place in history, while also remaining relevant for the many who continue to be affected by HIV and AIDS. A descending walkway dappled with red light leads visitors into the underground memorial/exhibit space on the east side of the site, and the gallery/multimedia space on the west side of the site. Patient room walls recovered from St. Vincent’s Hospital enclose quiet memorial spaces where bed-like stone platforms are lit by skylights above. Photographs and artifacts documenting the AIDS crisis in New York City fill the concrete walls of the space. Opposite the underground memorial, translucent glass skylights illuminate a versatile space filled with modular partition walls that allow the space to be used for galleries, meeting rooms, or multimedia viewing. In the park above, water falling from a wall bisecting the site flows from the reflecting pool into runnels that surround the memorial “rooms” below, each enclosing a small mound of grass that contains a stone bed’s skylight. This part of the park is visually separated from the west side, where open space, ample seating, and stepping stones provide a more recreational park amenity for the surrounding neighborhood.

The AIDS Memorial Park and Museum at the St. Vincent’s Hospital site seeks to com-memorate AIDS victims in NYC. The design also marks my first collaboration with an architect, who was responsible for a below-grade museum on the site. My design uses a waterfall to split the plaza into contempla-tive space memorializing the dead and a playful side celebrating the lives of those affected by AIDS.
