Municipal Building
The parti for this design is derived from the interstitial spaces created by the surrounding street grid, the EW line, and the recommended 20 degrees of south line for ideal solar heating. This concept evolved into two masses with a transparent connector. The landscape in front of the building was designed to be used by the community as a garden, recreation space, and exhibit space. The building masses are interpreted by the landscape through the use of tree species. This project took place during the pursuit of the B.S. in Architecture, Autumn Quarter, 2006.
Hampton MansionPump House
Ice House
Located in Towson, Maryland, the Hampton National Historic
Site is managed by the National Park Service. Ann McKee was commissioned to complete a
Historic Structures Report for both the Pump House(top
row) and the Ice House(bottom row), and KANN Partners was
the consulting firm. As a Co-operative Education student for
KANN Partners, I was the Project Designer and was
responsible for the investigation of each structures’ current condition, drawings of the structures, suggestions for
treatment for them, and the compilation of the investigation
results. I was directly supervised and guided by Mimi Giguérè.
the King Mansion
The King Family Mansion is located in Kings-Mills, Ohio. At the start of this project in 2007, it had recently been acquired by the township who was seeking a new use for the structure. As a Cooperative Education student at P.A.S.T. I was involved with creating documentation of the historic structure, including photos and drawings, and the investigation into possible programmatic uses of the building. first floor plan
GreenhillsTownHome
Greenhills, Ohio is one of three greenbelt towns built under the
FDR administration for middle class families. Originally a haven in the park, recent decades have
brought hard times upon the community. In an attempt to
attract new families, the village has bought several properties
only to tear down existing structures to replace with new
town homes. This studio was an exploration into how the
existing unit may be converted to retain the historic structures
while creating a welcoming environment for new families.
Here, the project is approached by transitioning a three unit
structure into a spacious two unit through renovation by stock
fixtures that are easily purchased.
Cranbrook Spa
This spa was designed to situate itself on the existing Cranbrook site in Michigan. Here, the program of the space is divided into a “hard” program of wet spaces including a sauna and plunge pool, and “soft” program including massage areas, guest rooms, and reception. This division is evident through a distinct change in materials of the two masses with the front “soft” portion containing the main entry and the “hard” portion opening onto formal gardens in the rear. This project took place during the pursuit of the B.S. in Architecture, Spring Quarter, 2008.
Stivers School for the Performing Arts
With a growing school population and an expansion of curriculum, an addition and renovation of existing
spaces was necessary. Therefore a 100,000 sq. ft. addition was
designed as well as a complete renovation of the existing building
to allow larger classrooms, labs, and new technologies.
As a Cooperative Education Student at Jeff Wray
Architects, I helped compile a $1 million furnishings package
that complied with the Ohio Design Manual for school
facilities and various other tasks including drawings and
materials selection.
Stair and Lightbox
The two projects pictured are a stair and a light box. Each were designed in a group of students, including myself, derived from personal iterations. Both of these projects were created to fit within the concept of a nine square and dealt with variation. The stair is one of nine and a study in hue. The box is a cube of nine and an investigation into manipulations of daily light patterns.
Baltimore International
CollegeCulinary Arts Center Expansion
This elementary school was bought in order to expand a culinary arts program in
Baltimore, Maryland, but both the interior and exterior need
extensive intervention.As a Cooperative Education student for KANN Partners,
I was responsible for the investigation of the current
condition of the exterior facade and elevation drawings noting
appropriate repairs.
Thesis AdaptiveRe-use:ContemporaryInterventionsinanExistingMaterialCulture
With the increase of attention on historic structures in the United States over the recent decades, a critical architectural approach is needed to address the manner in which historic buildings are reclaimed for a new use within their community. This approach must be preceded by a thorough investigation of the existing structure as well as precedents that address the joints between historic and contemporary materials. This thesis begins this exploration with precedents such as David Adjaye and Herzog de Mueron and a site selection of an abandoned school building at 940 Poplar Street in the West End area of Cincinnati. Following the thesis exploration, a series of designs
that address the historic nature of materials and their need to relate to a new function placed within the building emerge. Through design, details explain the relationship between the building’s existing material culture and contemporary interventions. This relationship, however, shifts dependent upon the space in which it is designed. This thesis seeks to offer one group of solutions that illustrate the range of interventions available to an adaptive re-use project, from strict preservation to an existing space that has an entirely new perception.The juxtaposition of the existing material culture with contemporary interventions is considered through the program of a community center and housing,. The result is a once abandoned building that serves its community.
