HIGH-RISE apaRtMEnt podIuM | New York, NY
The goal of the project was to incorporate a Film Institute into the
podium of a high-rise apartment building situated in Manhattan. My
design proposal focused on the noticeable disconnect between the
tower and the surrounding site. I wanted to bridge this divide and
draw the energy from the street into the heart of the building. The
concept is a direct reaction to the static and rigid form of the tower.
In contrast, the podium is represented as forms shifting and pulling
apart. The resulting negative space allows for circulation which
connects the space vertically and draws foot-traffic from one floor to
another. The energy and movement at the lower levels of the podium
give way to tranquility at the upper levels, acting as a transition to
the residential tower above.

alzheimer’s disease (ad) care management has become the biggest
growth industry in chronic care. ad is a frightening, irreversible,
progressive brain disease that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills,
and eventually even the ability to carry out the simplest tasks. design is
in a position to dramatically improve the way of life and dignity for ad
sufferers.
My thesis investigation and study explores opportunities that include, but
also go beyond, the immediate fabric of the building in which ad sufferers
are cared for. I explore the use of the sound and resonance of music and
the vitality of art to create a tranquil, sensual, poetic environment for
sufferers to feel secure and at peace. a further key focus in the design is
“wayfinding”. an internal walking path for ad sufferers has been created
to help guide them from one space to another.

The aim of the studio was to rethink the role of a community arts and
entertainment center as a “creative engine” that directly contributes to
urban revitalization. My proposal for Fire House 13 is specifically designed to
encourage and create an environment in which younger adults and teenagers
would be drawn to; the emphasis being music and dance. The concept was
to break up the existing, rigid, cubic structure of the building, by seemingly
“pulling out” sections into the street, whilst preserving the original brick
façade.

| Boston, Massachusetts, USA
The project Involved designing a multifunc-
tional cabinet to house and transport the
necessary testing equipment used to help
participants in programs towards success-
ful rehabilitation.
The brief required a portable device unit to
house glove boxes, testing sachets, sample
bottles, a bin and a surface top to test the
samples.
the final portable device design allows for
simple replication in the Pine Street Inn
wood shop if additional units were required
in further facilities in the city.
