This portfolio is a culmination of all projects undertaken
throughout my academic career. It challenges the idea that
buildings are discrete objects in an environment by incorporating
the nearby landscape in its design.
Each project foments the idea that the landscape has formal,
practical and ecological uses that can work in accord with
building function.

PROBLEM: Given a limited
amount of square footage, this
project called for the
unifcation of two antipodal
programs into one solar pavilion.
It was to function as both a
bustling wine tasting cafe as well
as a subdued dwelling place for
a local Wine-maker. Its site is
located in Dickerson Marylands
Surgarloaf Mountain, on top of a
small hill within the towns wine
tasting complex. The pavilion is
to serve as an addition to this
existing complex,
accommodating wine tasting
events for locals and tourist ,as
well as, the daily rituals of a
wine-maker.
SOLUTION: In order to
preserve the discrete character
of each individual program, the
total square footage is
allocated into two separate
pavilions: one for public use, the
other for private. Where they
become united is through an
exterior terrace garden.
Excavated soil is re-used for the
terrace gardens infll, top soil
and rammed earth
retaining walls. Acting as both a
buffer and connection between
the two pavilions is an open air
theater, accommodating
entertainment and vertical
circulation to the upper level
garden. The amalgamation of
rammed earth and garden
terraces consummates the
project bringing it into a unifed
whole.

Transformation: A 1:20 SLOPING GARDEN INCONSPICUOUSLY EMERGES FROM THE GROUND DISGUISING THE BUILDING AND OFFERING AN UNINTERRUPTED WATERFRONT VIEW. AT THE ZENITH, A CANOPY
PROVIDES SHELTER AND VERTICAL CIRCULATION BY WAY OF ELEVATOR SHAFTS HIDDEN IN ITS VERTICAL SUPPORTS IN ORDER TO ACCESS THE COMMUNITY CENTER BELOW.
PROBLEM: Located along Kent
County MDs Choptank River,
Chestertown is a small city
known for privatizing most of its
waterfront its residence.
Sited on one of the only public
waterfront spaces within the
town, this project called for the
design of a community center in
order to promote public
interaction with the Choptank
River. The site- a plaza found at
the terminus of one of the towns
most salient streets- is revered for
its unencumbered views and
accessibility to the water. Thus
one is challenged with designing
a building which will promote
public gathering without
inadvertently impairing the
existing conditions which make
the site public to begin with.
SOLUTION: The design aims to
maintaining the porosity already
given by the site by proposing a
building that acts as an axis as
opposed to an object. This axis
is enforced through the use of a
slopped garden, a portico and a
stepped plaza at its terminus. The
sloping garden inconspicuously
emerges from the ground
disguising the building and
ofering an uninterrupted view
of the waterfront at its highest
point. At this apex a portico acts
as both a point of gather and a
threshold between water and
land. Finally the stepped plaza
cascades into the Choptank river
stretching out as far as permitted.

Transformation: THE BUILDING FIRST BEGAN AS A SOLID MASS THAT TOOK ON THE SHAPE OF THE SITE. THIS MASS WAS THEN ADJUSTED
(PUSHED, PULLED, SPLIT, MOLDED, etc.) IN ORDER TO ADHERE TO ITS CONTEXT AND THE CHURCH WINDOW BEHIND IT
Site: THE OLD PARKING LOT ABUTS THE CENTRAL AXIS THAT STRETCHES
FROM MT. VERNON SQUARE PARK.

PROBLEM: Located on the
corner of Read and Charles St.
the site abuts an historic
Baltimore, MD Church. Facing the
site is an east-oriented stained
glass window at the churches
rear which relies on the dawning
sun for its morning services. The
project called for the design of a
residential building which would
provide low income housing to
the surrounding demographic
including students attending the
nearby Maryland College
Institute of Art. This entails a
design that fulflls its function
while still bearing in mind the
sacred rituals within the church.
SOLUTION: The approach to this
design treated the building as a
pure cubic mass which was split,
pushed, and extruded
according to the demands of the
site. A portion of the mass was
pushed down to create a dais,
serving as a public sculpture
garden. At the seam where
the taller portion intersects the
pushed-down portion the mass
splits open for the stained glass
window of the church. The design
utilizes the window as an entry
feature for the complex. The
residential tower fanks the
entrance and frames the church
facade while cascading steps in
front of it bring` you on top of the
dais.

PROCESS: THE DESIGN UNDERTOOK VARIOUS PHYSICAL FORMS BEFORE
THE FINAL ONE WAS CONCEIVED. THE INITIAL SCHEME (FAR LEFT
COLUMN) FOLLOWED THE MORE TRADITIONAL SOLID OPAQUE MASS OF
MOST RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS IN THE AREA (A LOWER COMMERCIAL
LEVEL WITH RESIDENTIAL ABOVE), HOWEVER, THE CENTER OF THE
MASS WOULD BE OCCUPIED BY AN OUTDOOR PUBLIC SPACE. A
REVISED VERSION OF THE SCHEME (MIDDLE COLUMN) BEGINS TO
OPEN UP THE MASS AND DE-PRIVATIZE THE OUTDOOR SPACE FOUND
IN THE CENTER BY SPLITTING AN ENTRANCE AND ALLOWING PUBLIC
CIRCULATION THROUGH THE MORE PREEMINENT STREET.

PROBLEM: A once afuent and
prosperous town, Cambridge, a city
located in Eastern Shore Maryland,
now faces challenges of climate
change as well as continual
economic decline. With an already
limited amount of amenities to draw
in tourist, Cambridges Great Marsh
Park is threatened by complete
inundation withing the next 50years
due to sea level rise. This project
proposed the creative use of three
approaches: protect, adapt, or
retreat, in order to discover
potential solutions for projected
changes.
SOLUTION: The incentive for this
design is rooted in the concept of
adaptation. As an efective and
sustainable solution a large scale
wetland is utilized in order to
absorb incoming rises and
introduce a new sense of character
to Great Marsh Park. The park, a
peninsula constructed from dredge
material, is severed transversely,
allowing the wetland to form in
between its apex and its mainland.
A bridge then stitches the two
segments together. Along the
bridge are three controlled ponds
used to conduct research on three
discrete wetland regions: the littoral,
the profundal, and the bethnic
zones. At the entrance of the bridge
is a small research center to
promote public education and
awareness. In it are spaces for small
exhibits and a small classroom for
childrens education of sea level rise
and wetlands.

PROCESS (FAR LEFT) : AN EARLIER RENDITION OF
THE SCHEME BISECTED THE SITE INTO HALVES. ON
ONE HALF THE SITE WAS TO BE PRESERVED IN ITS
ORIGINAL STATE WHILE THE OTHER HALF WAS
FRAGMENTED INTO LARGE PLOTS OF LAND.
BETWEEN THE SPACES OF THESE LAND FRAGMENTS
A WETLAND WAS FORM ABSORBING MOST OF THE
WATER. HOWEVER, THIS SCHEME WAS ALTERED DUE
TO THE DIFFICULTY OF GENERATING AN EFFICIENT
WETLAND IN SUCH A CONFINED SPACE
FLOOD DIAGRAMS: WHILE ONLY A
SMALL PORTION OF THE SITE IS
THREATENED BY INUNDATION IN
THE EARLY YEARS OF SEA LEVEL
RISE, THIS NUMBER IS SET TO
GROW EXPONENTIALLY IN YEARS
TO FOLLOW. IN 50 YEARS 1/4 OF
THE SITE WILL BE COMPLETELY
SUBMERGED UNDER WATER AND
IN 100 YEARS ABUTTING
RESIDENTIAL AREAS WILL BE
FLOODED.

LITTORAL ZONE: THE PART OF THE OF THE
WETLAND CLOSEST TO THE SHORE.
IT IS CHARACTERIZED BY ITS ABUNDANT AMOUNT
OF DISSOLVED OXYGEN, NUTRIENTS AND WAVE
MOTION. THIS REGION IS DEFINED BY ITS ITS
ACCESS TO SUNLIGHT DUE TO SHALLOW WATER
LEVELS.
THE BRIDGE: GREAT MARSH PARK IS
ONE OF THE FEW PLACES IN
CAMBRIDGE POSSESSING PIERS
IN WHICH YOU CAN FISH WITHOUT
A LICENSE. THE BRIDGE AIMS TO
MAINTAIN THIS ASSET BY HAVING
PARTS OF STRUCTURE PROJECT

OPPORTUNITIES FOR FRIENDLY
FISHING
PROFUNDAL ZONE: THE REGION OF THE WETLAND
WHICH IS SO DEEP IT DOES NOT RECEIVE LIGHT.
BECAUSE PHOTOSYNTHESIS CANNOT TAKE
PLACE PLANT LIFE AND OTHER ORGANISMS
RELY ON DRIFTING ORGANIC MATTER FROM LIT-
TORAL AND LIMNETIC ZONES.
LIMNETIC ZONE: THIS IS THE REGION
FURTHEST AWAY FROM THE LITTORAL ZONE.
IT IS THE LAYER OF WATER TO WHICH PHO-
TOSYNTHESIS CAN OCCUR.
THE BUILDING: THE BUILDING CONSIST OF TWO MAJOR SPACES:
ONE, AN EXHIBITION SPACE FOR EDUCATING THE PUBLIC ON
CURRENT EVENTS, RECENT FINDINGS AND WETLAND LIFE, THE
OTHER A CLASS ROOM FOR ENGAGING CHILDREN ON SEA LEV-

IS LAB WHERE RESEARCH IS CONDUCTED BASED ON SAMPLE
FINDINGS IN THE BRIDGES CONTROLLED PONDS.

TYPICAL PLAN - BLOCKING DIAGRAM
EMPLOYERL: Hickok Cole
DATE: Summer 2013
PROBLEM: The projects site is
located in the Union Market
meatpack district. Developers
requested a mixed resdidential
building which would host
commercial retail on the ground
foor as well as an acnchor
retailer. Working with a long linear
site, this project called for clever
facade articulation in order to
resist the appearance of a long
monolithic eye sore to for tourist,
residents, and visitors
SOLUTION: The facade is
broken up into anatomical
components: a head, body and
tail. The head and tail pronounce
each corner and create
connections to the aligning
streets. The body is cladded with
a mix of bricks and modular steal
balconies in order to add variety
and uniqueness.
28
SITE: The sites slopping nature provided opportunities for a
double-height retail anchor above which on axis with one of the
regions major streets. However, it also made a challenging entry space
for the lobby located in the middle region of the buildings lower level.
