what

how

Beginning with my experience at Wheeler Kearns Architects on the Orchard Residences - which was a milestone for the office and marked a significant shift in my own work - and ending with my recent work at HOK, this selection of projects covers two aspects of my work over the last decade: What and How.

What: the story of each project - the project's unique narrative through client, program, space, material, texture, and light.

How: the process of each project through listening, researching, imagining, experimenting, drawing, changing, diagraming, sketching, and modeling.

Note, all photography and renderings are my own unless otherwise noted.

this hOuse Was an exPlOratiOn Of Privacy and Publicity. the charge frOm the client Was tO create a glass hOuse integrated intO a lush garden in the middle Of the city in Which they cOuld WalK arOund cOmfOrtably WithOut being seen. the hOuse needed tO be intimate fOr a family Of fOur While alsO accOmmOdating Public events Of One tO tWO hun-dred PeOPle.

the sOlutiOns included mOving Walls, multiPle cOurtyards each Penetrating tO a different dePth in the hOuse, and a venetian blind fence in Which each blade Was tuned tO allOW Public visiOn intO the gardens but never intO the hOuse. the flOOr tO ceiling glass at the Perimeter Was nOt interruPted by cOlumns thrOugh the use Of fOur caissOns tO bedrOcK, tWO in tensiOn, tO allOW mOst Of the hOuse tO be cantilevered frOm the stair cOres.

Orchard East. This was a meticulously researched,

designed, and detailed single family house occupying five city lots, drawing on dozens of consultants and consuming the whole office for several years. The team was led by Dan Wheeler, FAIA with everyone contributing to the design, research, and production efforts. I was primarily involved with 3d conflict checking, coordination, and rendering; producing over one hundred renderings by the end of the project.

Near the end of construction documents, a new survey was provided which shockingly

corrected the size of the lot, and the size of the setbacks by one foot. The decision was made to subtract one inch from each of the twelve modules of the house. It was also decided that splitting up the task created too much room for error in the stack of AutoCAD drawings. I was asked to make all the adjustments to all the overall 2d drawings and 3d models while everyone else checked the details. The process of adjusting the building by one foot took over a week, at which point we began to look for a better way. This marked the beginning of the office's transition to Revit and a BIM process.

Orchard West. at the same time that Wheeler Kearns architects Was cOmPleting the much Publicized, lauded, and very mOdern Orchard east, We Were alsO cOmPleting a very different hOuse fOr the clients mOre Private cOusins; directly acrOss Orchard street.

this hOuse Was characterized by maximizing site cOverage and stOne While minimizing landscaPe and maintenance. the hOuse PrOved tO be a study in building fOr Permanence With every PrOduct selected evaluated fOr durability and cOst Of maintenance Or rePair.

Orchard West was led by Larry Kearns, AIA who spent

hours each day working with the very involved client. I was lucky enough to sit next to Larry during these years and learned immense amounts even when I wasnt directly helping with the project.

I was involved with renderings, details, early design studies,

and documenting and

coordinating the complex geometry of the double groin vault. The hardest part of many projects is making things look simple. For Orchard West, the intersecting arches and groin vaults looked simple but involved complicated math equations (which I enjoyed) and detailed coordination with the engineers and fabricators.

My first project designed and built from the ground up was

this was single family home for a wonderful couple of empty nesters. Ozzie and Harriet* approached us to fit a house on a lake front lot which was considered to be unbuildable because of its long, narrow orientation in an area characterized by broad lake views on broad lots. Our strategy was to create a series of unfolding spaces which each engaged the prized lake view in a unique and expanding way.

Every space paired a solid wall and a glass wall. The solid walls were Ls of continuous integrally insulated concrete masonry units from footing to parapet wrapped in the same stucco finish inside and out - providing security and simplicity. Opposite these immovable shells were floor to ceiling glazed walls strategically oriented to views, creating a relationship with the outdoors. Starting from the street which faced the rows of driveways and garage doors with a mostly opaque landscaped expression, to the living room which faced the lake with almost no intervention, each space carefully opened up more and more to the landscape.

The showcase element which literally and figuratively pinned the layers of the house together was a central stair. The stair brought together the elements of light, water and earth in perfect balance. The stairs skylight allowed bountiful light to penetrate deep into the house, reaching clear to the basement. Through a series of tensioned cables run down the center of the stair in a slightly random pattern, a hint of the sparkle of a rain shower descended, barely casting a shadow. The ipe used for the stair itself gave a grounded, outdoor feeling. In spite of its unique design, the stair remained within the clients budget and, of course, safely guided and protected the homes occupants.

Today, every space in the house benefits from abundant daylight and expansive connections to the outdoors. The indigenous landscape grows right up the edge of the house and the minimal threshold where outside becomes inside. Growing out of the dune, the house tries to tread lightly while still graciously providing for its occupants, now and into the future.

This project was an exercise in fitting too much program into

too little space while pleasing a committee of clients and a hornets nest of end users. Wheeler Kearns stressed a process for every project of always and only working with end users and avoiding speculative projects for hypothetical clients. Though challenging on this project, it meant working with and ultimately accommodating the needs of the Theater, Painting, Sculpture, Graphic Art, Communications, and Broadcast Art Departments. Each individual was wonderful to work with, but, in true academic fashion, scraped for as much of the limited resources as possible for their students.

The programming phase of the project was led by Larry Kearns, AIA which resulted in a clear diagram of a long masonry bar which oriented to the other buildings on the campus and lightweight fingers on the back which could inexpensively warehouse each department. The Design development phase was led by Mark Weber, AIA and saw several fingers cut off to meet the budget. The construction document and construction administration phases were led by Tom Bader, AIA and saw the fingers reduced to a finger attached to a short bar. I provided continuity, documenting much of the project from start to finish, managing the space allocation, and ultimately teaching Revit to the rest of the team as we went.

The Residence built near DePaul University: The DePaul Residence was the

only project Ive worked on with an outhouse. The parti diagram of the project was two cubes; one with a more formal, public orientation, the other more casually, privately focused. Between the two cubes was a scissor stair in an outdoor like atrium space. The purity of the plan didnt leave room for a powder room on the first floor, so it was placed in the rear yard, in the outhouse.

in my rOle suPPOrting sharlene, i had three areas i Was mOst invOlved in. early studies Of the massing and sKin, draWings, renderings, and cOOrdinatiOn With the interiOr designer regarding the Kitchen, and detailed studies, draWings, and renderings Of the main stair.

One of Wheeler Kearns most recently

completed projects was this single family residence along the parks on Chicagos Lakefront. The very public nature of the site required a very inwardly focused project. What was particularly unique about this project was that the owner did not only purchase land for himself to build a home, but also land next door for his best friend so they could share a basketball

court. Sharlene Young, AIA and I were paired to work with the two owners, each of us positioned to focus on one of the clients while supporting each other. Sharlene focused on this client who ultimately moved forward and built his house. I helped Sharlene and focused on the best friend next door who never moved forward with his project.

The West Loop Loft was a downsizing project for a family which Wheeler Kearns had

designed a space for many years before. Now empty nesters, Frank and Zoe* wanted to keep their favorite parts but move into a smaller, more flexible space. From their original cellular Gold Coast apartment they brought their art, pottery and antique collections while we added an open plan, color and a light touch to this space which squeezed in so much of their history. Zoes goal was to make the loft as loft as possible to

correct the previous owners attempts to drywall and paint over everything; she was searching for the authentic. The ultimate expression featured a single large public space as large as the constraints of the building would allow and private spaces tucked into the residual space left by the structure and services of the building highlighted by bold colorful accents.

this PrOject Was a high POint fOr me - a PrO-cess based On cOmmunicatiOn and fitting a sPace tO the client. because Of the small size Of the PrOject, i Was the Only team member frOm Wheeler Kearns assigned tO the design, dOcu-mentatiOn, and management and had the chance tO really develOP a clOse client relatiOnshiP. Once the functiOnal Plan and gOals Were laid Out, the PrOject Was characterized by regu-lar WalK-thrOughs Of the sPace With zOe, the interiOr designer, the cOntractOr and myself. zOe and i WOuld meet fOr breaKfast tO discuss gOals fOr the day, then WOrK thrOugh the sPace and resPOnd On the sPOt tO the qualities Of the building Which Were uncOvered Or the fOrm Of the sPace Which WOve intO the building. the cOntractOr Was excellent and OPen tO a lOOse PrOcess. the interiOr designer had WOrKed With the client fOr years and KneW every Piece Of fur-niture, art, and histOry Which WOuld ultimately grace the sPace. tOgether We designed a sPace Which Was a Perfect exPressiOn Of the client married tO the unique sPace.

How do you describe a project which has a potential to reach over 11m square meters of

public space when complete? My first project at HOK took me to a new world, not Navi Mumbai India where the project is being built, but to the land of mega-projects. We had a client who was one of Indias largest, most successful companies, who decided to enter the real-estate and development markets in grand form by making the most expensive land purchase in Indias history for this project. The project went through its first master planning and concept design phase before being shelved when the world economy slowed down. While the project was on hold, the original 12 person team, except for the project manager, was broken up.

I was hired as team member number one of a

new team which ultimately grew to 4 people, but which for months at a time consisted of just myself and the project manager. The first few months of the re-born project involved running diagrammatic and tabular scenarios of the development potential of the project as a phased development. In addition to phasing it to allow it to move forward though uncertain economic times, the client was also pursuing various attempts to increase the height and build-able area restrictions to try to expand their return on investment enough to compensate for a revised, reduced pro-forma.

While there was never a single scenario selected, there was eventually enough consensus to move phase one of the project forward with much of the original mixed-use program compressed from the

original 40 acre site to a 20 acre phase 1 portion, leaving two parcels for two future phases.

The program for phase 1 was a mixed-use transit oriented development designed to anchor a growing community in a newly portion of Navi Mumbai which was previously salt flats. Built over and around a railway station which serves 60,000 people daily, the project included Class-A Corporate Offices, Retail, Entertainment, Hospitality, an expanded Train Station, Structured Parking, Mechanical and Storage with a combined area of over 3.5 million GSF (Rounded Gross Square Feet) of enclosed area above grade plus below grade parking for over 6000 cars.

This project was a competition on many levels. The initial commission was won through a competition with outside offices. My submission to the competition was the result of an internal HOK competition. The stand-out feature of the design competition was the amount of design, documentation, and refinement achieved in a two-week period using Revit and Adobe Ideas on the iPad. Because of the success of these 2 competitions, the project won an internal HOK award for the progressive use of BIM as a visualization tool.

Because my design was chosen

for and ultimately won the external competition, I was assigned the status of senior designer on the project.

The tight schedule extended beyond the initial awarding of the work through the very end of Schematic Design three months later when the project was handed off to the local architect.

Jones Lang LaSalle Turkey, the retail consultant retained by the client, was impressed enough to recommend us to other developers who has sought out our services based on the rapid success of this project.

frOm the beginning, the client resPOnded very favOrably tO the Key design element Of Our Winning submissiOn - the Out-side flOWing in and the inside flOWing Out - and exPressed a desire tO fOcus their dOllars On maKing that Key idea WOrK. tO that end, i designed the mall With the guidance Of hOK retail exPert luigi franceschina, and the tOWer With hOK residential Practice leader rObert bistry.

this PrOject is an attemPt tO create a destinatiOn retail envirOnment in the bOundary sPace betWeen a lOW rise WOrKing class residential neighbOrhOOd and a highWay-mass transit-industrial zOne. liKe the PrOW Of a shiP cutting thrOugh Water, the PrOject itself is sliced OPen tO reveal a Pedestrian Plaza Which anchOrs the building tO the residential scale. tO the massive scale Of the highWay and regiOnal bus dePOt, the building Presents signage and a 40 stOry residential tOWer Which Will be the first tall building in this area.

stePPing dOWn a level in scale, the design Of the PrOject Was driven by a simPle Pragmatic idea taKen frOm an early cOnversatiOn With the client. simPle tOWer On tOP, simPle WraPPer fOr the mall belOW and "Party in the middle." this translated intO a simPle tOWer vOlume-driven Primarily by OrientatiOn and efficiency. the mall WraPPer adOPted a "Puzzle Piece" aPPrOach Of stOne Walls brOKen uP by interlOcKing metal ziPPers managing the Pragmatic elements. the "Party in the middle" Was realized sectiOnally With the OPerable rOOf and Planted rOOf-scaPe betWeen the POdium and the tOWer, and in Plan at the semi-enclOsed Plaza sPace betWeen the Outside and the inside.

MODEL IN 1 DAY | renderings by Others

hOKmixed-use develOPmentanKara, turKey 112

For this project, I was part of a two person core team led by

the offices senior leadership and assisted in the final stretch by some additional staff. My focus was on project metrics and modeling while sharing in the design work during the very short month that this project occupied, start to finish.

Because of a very long discovery portion of the project, we were left with only days to compile a presentation at the end. Each of the three final schemes was modeled and sent out for rendering in less than an 8 hour day. Each challenged my

modeling skills a different way.

Each used a toolset unique and appropriate to the scheme.

Concept 1, Eskisehir Gardens was modeling taking advantage of Revits core capabilities to produce a simple efficient model.

Concept 2, Floating Rings was modeled by hacking Revit to quickly get results by creatively reinterpreting the software.

Concept 3, Unfolding was modeled by leveraging Revits latest conceptual massing and parametric patterning tools to create a rule based form.

this cOncePt design exercise fOr a client in anKara turKey Pre-sented three directiOns fOr develOPing a mixed use site Which is lOcated at the Western gateWay tO the city. amOng the many challenges and POssibilities Offered by the site Was its grading, Which slOPed 11m Over it's 300m length, and the 10 lane rOad Which served its frOnt dOOr.

cOncePt 1, "esKisehir gardens" fOcused On a landscaPed Pedes-trians exPerience Of familiar, street scale, elements. the cOncePt brOught all the PrOgrammatic elements tO the grOund tOgether tO create an urban destinatiOn.

cOncePt 2, "flOating rings" used a layered aPPrOach tO segment the site by use, demOgraPhic, and elevatiOn, including a signature tWisting tOWer. this cOncePt Pandered tO the icOnic nature Of the gateWay site and the distinctiOns betWeen the everyday users and the uPscale shOPPers the PrOject seeKs tO attract.

cOncePt 3, "unfOlding" cOnnected all Of the diverse PrOgram-matic gOals intO a faceted, Patterned fOrm Which figuratively and literally fOlded uP frOm the site. this cOncePt tOOK advantage Of the huge length Of the site tO allOW internal ramPing tO tie all the elements tOgether.

at the end Of the day, the client selected "flOating rings" Which may mOve fOrWard tO realizatiOn.

In my mind, every project has a story to tell. One of the luxuries I became accustomed to while working at Wheeler Kearns was real clients with real personalities, goals, and desires; real personal stories. One of the

challenges I faced making the transition to HOK was designing to spreadsheets with very little client contact and only financial, not design goals; very different stories.

A tool common to both offices was the project diagram. A new tool I created for myself which proved useful was branding sheets. These pieces, such as the samples shown here, were parts of a market positioning branding statement which I created for the projects. The clients story was to monetize a piece of land, the projects we were designing were a part of that story. These branding sheets crafted a story of how these projects (primarily the retail) could fit into their respective markets to make that story come true.

In the example I created for the retail environment in Turkey, I was pleased to see posters of these branding ideas up in the clients office when we went to visit for a presentation.

"Hey Andre, do you know how to model this in Revit?"

"Sure.""Oh, now that it's done, could you please change the length?"

Sure."Looks great, but we need to make it wider, can your model do that?""Yup.""Now that we changed the length

and width the curve..."Sure."Since you're so intimately familiar with the bridge do you think you could detail it, too?"

Sure."Is that why you like to work with parametric design?""Yup."

On the left is One Of the draWings i Put tOgether With WOrKing With neighbOrs tO cOllect Our thOughts. variOus versiOns Of these simPle Plans Were used fOr meetings With the cOmmunity, the city Of chicagO, the ParK district, and cOnservatiOn design fOrum WhO ultimately did the design and dOcumentatiOn Of the neW ParK.

On the right is cOnservatiOn design fOrums PresentatiOn Plan brOught bacK tO us tO cOmPlete the circle. they Were able tO WOrK very clOsely With Our gOals and ParK district guidelines tO PrOduce a ParK unique in the city Of chicagO.

three Key design ideas Were carried thrOugh frOm start tO finish. natural landscaPe as PlayscaPe, inter-generatiOnal mixing betWeen Kids and seniOrs, and dense Planting tO create buffers betWeen the urban sPace and the child sPace.

cOnservatiOn design fOrum added Water cOnservatiOn tO the design mix and made the ParK a mOdel Of Water use in the city.

One day while I was out gardening...

Hey Andre, do you still want to help clean up the empty lot at the end of the block?

Yes, it should be a park!

Ok good because I set up a meeting with the Alderman and a bunch of people from the community for next week, can you please have some drawings ready.

Next week?

Great, see you there, you're in charge.

A few months later...

Hey Andre, the City purchased the lot what next?


Hey Andre, the City got a grant to move forward using the drawings you did?

A few month later...

Hey Andre, how do play Bocce?


Hey Andre, nice park.
