CAF Air Museumwith Travis AveryFall 2010Critic - Vincent Snyder
The task of this studio was to design a museum for the Commemorative Air Force, an organization dedicated to the restoring, preserving, and, most importantly, flying of World War II aircraft. Included in their collection is the last remaining flyable B-29 bomber named Fifi.
Initial studies quickly revealed that there is a conflict between the scale needed to service, operate and fly the different aircraft in the collection (with wingspans up to 140 feet) and the need to view and experience the aircraft as a museum-goer. In order to mediate between these scales and drawing on existing airplane sheds on the site, we conceived of the museum as a large covered shed where all museum functions exist within the thickness of the roof.
By hoisting the planes up into the roof, the functional conflicts between viewing, servicing, and flying the planes
are separated, allowing all of them to be performed simultaneously with equal efficiency. The airplanes are viewed in their “natural state”: off the ground. The viewing catwalks meander sectionally and allow visitors to the museum to see the planes from all angles, above and below, creating a more intimate relationship between viewer and subject.
A series of industrial cranes and tracks allow airplanes to be positioned as needed. Fifi, the B-29 hangs at the prow of the building and can be extended out over the catwalk to allow entry to its bomb bay and cockpit.
Other program elements included are a grandstand to view air-shows, auditorium, restaurant, and offices for the museum. Important public spaces such as the auditorium and conference rooms are suspended from the superstructure similarly to how the airplanes are. Conditioned spaces are loaded toward the front of the museum, minimizing heating and cooling requirements.
The structure consists of a 2-directional steel truss system that has a free span length of 160 feet and supports a 120 foot cantilever. It touches the ground on 4 trussed steel legs.

Parasitic Changing RoomsSpring 2011Critic -Coleman Coker
Shoal Creek is an often overlooked ecological system that exists directly adjacent to and within the urban fabric of Austin. As a studio, we were asked to create individual architectural interventions within or around the 1st mile of Shoal Creek before it empties into Town Lake. The program was left up to the students with the stipulation that it bring awareness to, and work within, the complex adaptive systems that exist at the intersection of City and Creek.
This project intends to correct and soften the perceived separation between the urban condition of the city and the natural condition of the creek. The site, where 4th Street crosses Shoal Creek is currently spanned by a pedestrian bridge and a decommissioned wooden railroad trestle. It is a confluence of natural and man-made systems as well as of historical and new pieces of the city. The bridges link new downtown development with Seaholm power plant, which is slated to be redeveloped.
Working in parallel to a classmate’s project which proposes turning the creek and it’s bed around the trestle into a series of park, water remediation, and energy generation spaces, this project serves as an entry pavilion from the street and houses changing rooms, a cafe, and a viewing platform for activities below.
16
In an attempt to both preserve the existing historical train trestle and minimize the impact to the creek bed, the building uses the trestle as its primary structure. Program elements are suspended from the trestle with new steel members attached to the underside of the existing deck and nestle themselves between the wooden piers. Enclosed program is housed within metal clad boxes, contrasting the texture of the trestle’s beams and columns. Circulation through the building is demarcated by the use of weathered steel, relating it to other pedestrian bridges nearby.
The top surface of the trestle is given over to a platform that serves as both a viewing platform and an extension of the public square at the end of 3rd street. When the cafe and changing rooms are open, the platform sits near the center of the trestle and can be reached from both 3rd street and from the cafe below. When the cafe and changing rooms are closed, the platform slides on the existing rails toward 3rd street, creating an extension of the existing public square while closing off the building. At the same time, a gate below closes off the cafe while maintaining a public route between 3rd street and the creek below.
Beyond a physical connection, the building attempts to contribute to the ecological systems around it. Composting toilets process and store waste which is slowly turned to safe topsoil and natural fertilizer which is used in the bioremediation and filtration gardens upstream of the trestle.

The Re-BurbiaSpring 2010Critic -Larry Doll
Inspired by the notion that the carbon footprint of an average Manhattanite is far lower than that of most rural and suburban residents and that Manhattanites on average use the same amount of gasoline as the average american from the 1920s, this project is a study of how to increase the density of downtown Austin to higher levels while holding on to certain aspects of American life that have become ubiquitous since the proliferation of the suburban model of urbanism.
Designed into the project are a number of features that are often cited as reasons that families move to the suburbs. These are:The availability of good schoolsSafe communitiesPrivate exterior spacesInternal privacy
Given the constraints of the site, these demands are met sectionally. Half of the first 3 levels of the building are occupied by a new elementary school. It is programatically separated from the residences by wrapping it around one of two interior courtyards and allowing access only via public square. The two courtyards work to foster safe communities by creating defensible semi-private spaces that serve as forecourts to the residential project and play areas for the school. Furthermore, the residential portion of the project is subdivided with vertical public spaces that serve as both circulation and communal space. Private exterior spaces are incorporated into most unit types, taking advantage of the sectional opportunities of double story units. Double story units also provide internal privacy and the separation of public and private.
The suburban features of the project do not trump its uban nature. A public plaza, created by lifting and cantilevering part of the building, speaks to Republic Park across the street and mediates between the school, residences, and the street. The street is activated by retail spaces that face the square, and dialogue is created between the school and the community by allowing glimpses into the gym and main circulation spaces from the street.

Glover Park HouseFall 2008Personal Project
I have a certain fascination with the townhouse typology that exist in many of the older cores of America’s eastern cities. In a society where everything new that we create comes with a built-in obsolescence, these houses have stood for centuries, often weathering abuse and neglect.
As a design exercise, I searched the neighborhood I was living in for a suitable site to design a speculative townhouse that could incorporate many of the inherently sustainable and functional elements of the type while updating it to a contemporary design language.

Solar gain is minimal as the broad face of the house faces north. The energy effi ciency of house is kept high by maintaining a high degree of solid area on the skin and using Zinc panels and a Prodema panel rain screen system. These materials, while possibly having a higher embodied energy due to fabrication and transportation requirements than more local “green” materials, are extremely durable and will not need to be replaced and thrown out. Ideally, this house will weather as well, or better than its older neighbors.

The fl oor plans draw on the basic rowhouse layout type but eschew typical partition walls for an open fl oor plan in order to increase the perceived size of the house. On the fi rst level, sliding and pivoting glass doors allow ventilation and open the house up to the outside. Natural light, let in from a skylight above the stairs, penetrates through the house and fi lters down into the basement. Upstairs, bedrooms have 2 sets of windows to maximize airfl ows and daylighting, and the stairwell skylight is operable to allow heat produced throughout the house to escape as it rises.

This project is a live/work art gallery in Marfa, Texas, in which a portion of the proceeds of sold art go toward grants and micro-loans for local residents. Its aim is to create a direct connection between the economic stimulation of Marfa’s art scene and the native residents of Marfa.
Residents would apply for loans or grants, and those chosen would get to choose, or commission, a work by one of the 2 resident artists who live and work on the site. The funds for the loan would be a portion of the revenue generated by the sale of the art.
The program only occupies a portion of the site, in line with an existing concrete ruin. The rest of the site could be sold or developed and leased to raise funds for the gallery. The program is split into 2 parts, the public gallery space and the private residence and work spaces. They are separated by a public yard and event space, and the existing concrete
structure, which could serve as either a work space or exterior display space.
The concrete structure defines a number of parameters for the buildings on the site including their maximum width as well as height. Taller elements on the site draw from the proportions of the existing tower; The gallery skylights are solid iterations of it, while the second floor of the residence is an extruded version of it. Appropriate ceiling heights are maintained by excavating into the site. This move, along with the exterior walls, serves to define and ground the project as it exists in a somewhat nondescript and flat landscape.
Materials used are simple. Stucco, concrete, and cor-ten steel. A cor-ten steel wrapper announces the public entry to the gallery space. The gallery space then opens into a rear yard that can be used for a variety of events. The cor-ten steel language of the entry reappears to create and wrap the bar and service area. There is an opportunity to project video or images onto the back wall of the gallery. Past the existing structure is the artists’ residence. It is separated into working and living spaces, both in plan and section, with a sunken private courtyard providing light to the sunken living spaces.

Migrant Worker/ThinkerFall 2009Critic- Russell Krepart
conceptual rendering
Located a on a rural site, a few miles northwest of Fort Davis, Texas, on Limpia Canyon Cattle Ranch, this project consists of housing for up to 4 migrant workers or 2 migrant families during calving season at the ranch. When migrant workers are not needed on the ranch, the buildings function as a retreat for “migrant thinkers.”
The site is defi ned by a large number of cottonwood trees, which were originally spread across the area by early American workers/settlers travelling west to secure a brighter future and fulfi ll America’s “manifest destiny”. Cottonwoods are often grouped in circular patterns that originate from where seeds fell to the ground from settler’s wagon circles.

The organization of the camp directly references the protective nature of these tree and wagon circles. Buildings are clustered around a central yard and the integrity of the circle is created by a combination of building and cottonwood.
The buildings themselves are simple concrete boxes that sit off the ground on a wooden deck that both creates social spaces and keeps out critters. This decking serves as a second, man-made site topography, where furniture and spatial barriers are formed through augmentation of the surface.

Private High School ExpansionPeter Gluck and Partners2011
Peter Gluck and Partners (PGP) won the commission to strategically plan and design the expansion and renovation of a prestigious private all-boys school location in New York City’s Upper West Side. As an intern, I was a member of the project team during the programming phase of the project as well as during a lengthy strategic planning phase that was ongoing when I left.
I worked primarily on a number of infographics presenting data collected from different constituencies in the school, including teachers, alumni, and parents. They were
designed to visualize the needs and goals of the school moving forward.
I also assisted in documenting and presenting the current conditions of the physical plant of the school, which is spread over 3 buildings that have been added over the last hundred years as the school grew.
Following the programming phase of the project, I worked on organizing and presenting numerous design options for decision makers at the school. The complexity of the existing buildings, phasing needs, and budget constraints made it very important to find a way to present the options in a simple, straight-forward manner that could be quickly understood by stakeholders without losing important information. I designed an interactive presentation that allowed PGP to easily present the layers of information necessary for that specific audience.

...“I see it as one of the school’s strengths towards Dr. Levinson’s ideal ‘one school grades K-12’”...

Microsoft Mid-Atlantic HeadquartersSmithGroup - 2009IIDA Mid-Atlantic 2010 Silver Award Winner
pantry/lounge space under construction
conference room under construction
SmithGroup won the commission to complete the interior design and build out of Microsoft’s new 120,000 sf Mid-Atlantic Headquarters just outside of Washington DC. The project schedule was very aggressive in order to correspond with the expiring lease that Microsoft held for their current space.
I joined the team in January of 2009, near the end of the design development stage of the project, and worked on
the project through its substantial completion in July of 2009. I worked on all parts of the project, from design, construction documents, millwork design, finish selection, construction administration, contractor and client meetings, consultant coordination, and quality control and punchlisting. Near the beginning of construction, almost half of the project team was laid off, including the project architect. Working with the project manager and design principal, I picked up many of the responsibilities left vacant by the personnel losses.
I was charged with the design of a number of millwork pieces for the space. The largest of these was a bar/hub piece that would serve as a focal point in the lounge spaces on each floor. Different colored backlit glasses were used as identifying elements for each floor.

Reston Heights EastSmithGroup2007-2008
Reston Heights is a one million sq. ft. mixed use office and retail development in Reston, Virginia. The biggest complications of the project were the developer’s desires to create architecture that works at 2 scales. The scale of the highway needed to be addressed along the north of the site, which backed up to the Dulles Toll Road, a major artery serving Dulles International Airport. On the interior of the site, the project needed to address the human scale and create a destination for retail.
To further constrain the site, suburban parking counts required parking for over 3000 cars. We overcame this problem by utilizing the slope of the site and continuing the ground datum from the west over the service road and onto the green roofs of the retail component.
The office building design reflects both the desire to maximize rentable space and market desirability while trying to create an iconic architecture highly visible to the “river of cars” flowing directly by it. Color became the team’s tool for creating a striking architecture without playing significantly with the building footprint. Different colored glasses and treatments of shadow boxes differentiates the three office towers, but at the end of the conceptual design phase, the appearance of them remained up in the air.

retail elevation
One of the main tasks that I was charged with was developing an architecture for the retail component of the project. An environmental theme incorporating geological ideas drawn from the landscape design by Nelson Byrd Woltz, and a desire to transition to a sleeker corporate architecture above, created the juxtaposed use of wood, stone gabion wall, and metal panels.

425 Eye St.SmithGroup2008-2009
425 Eye Street is an existing office building about two blocks from the Convention Center in Washington DC. The client chose SmithGroup to renovate the building, update finishes and mechanical systems, and re-skin the south and east facades.
This was the first project in the Workplace Studio to be completed entirely in Revit. I worked on or assisted with most aspects of the project in one capacity or another. These include conceptual sketching, Revit Model management, bathroom finish selection (the layouts were, for the most part, existing) modelling in Revit, redlines, detailing, elevator cab design, and miscellaneous rendering. I was the main contact on the team for managing and troubleshooting the Revit model
I was one of 4 people working on this project. I joined the project team at the beginning of the implementation of Revit. A preliminary schematic design had been completed in 2006. Many features of the original schematic package were changed when the project was revisited.
