WINTERTON ST. RESIDENCE

A modest addition and two-car garage set into the hillside creates a series of indoor and outdoor rooms, each with a distinct character and connection to the small site. Using simple extruded forms, the project reconfigures the center of gravity of the original house, improving interior flow.

Dramatic views and natural light are prioritized, as is a simple material palette that compliments the existing brick house and neighborhood context.

Winner of Design Pittsburgh 2020 Certificate of Merit

Professional Work

TECTONIC | STEREOTOMIC The Winterton Street Residence explores the relationship of tectonic and stereotomic expression. To define protected outdoor spaces and connect zones for living in the hilly site, two masonry volumes are embedded into the earth. These stereotomic masses are in immediate dialogue with the existing masonry structure.

Counterbalancing the heaviness of the masonry, an extruded gable volume (the tectonic frame) perches like a treehouse and gestures to the hillside views and morning sun.

ORTHOPHOSPHATE PAVILION

PWSA’s Orthophosphate Pavilions distribute lead-preventative chemicals into 2/3 of the city water supply. Sited adjacent to Reservoir #1 and the Membrane Filtration Plant, they occupy greenspaces in a vibrant public park. The pavilions are small pieces of city infrastructure that must feel welcoming to pedestrians and visitors to Highland Park.

ORTHOPHOSPHATE BUILDING CONCEPT

PAVILION CONVERSION CONCEPT

SECOND-LIFE ADAPTABILITY Because the chemical distribution purpose of the Orthophosphate Pavilions will be obsolete in 10-15 years, the structures were designed to convert into full park shelters, reclaiming the entire footprint of the building when the walls of the chemical room are removed. In its second life, the panelized ceiling can be removed to reveal the full extent of the timber roof structure and cedar tongue and groove deck. Stack bond brick indicates where walls are non-structural and can be removed.

DESIGN + REPRESENTATION

Clear communication of the architectural idea relies on compelling and descriptive imagery. Many projects in early stages of design require that special attention is paid to the development of a narrative over the depiction of finished architecture. Each of the following images was developed to describe and “sell” an architectural or urban design concept.

GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE CITYWIDE EVALUATION As part of a team tasked with identifying green infrastructure opportunities through a city-wide evaluation of combined sewer overflow priority sheds, we produced a series of aerial renderings.

These renderings feature conceptual designs for six priority sewersheds and identify where green infrastructure would provide significant benefits. They are meant to be diagrammatic in nature, highlighting connectivity, green space opportunity and development sites.

5TH + DINWIDDIE PLAZA This perspective rendering was produced to sell the concept design and conceptual massing of a mixed-use development in Pittsburgh’s Uptown neighborhood. Because many aspects of the building design were as yet unresolved, the visualization focuses on the protected nature of the plaza, the connectivity across Dinwiddie and Fifth Ave. and the potential for vibrant activity in the plaza. The team was awarded the project.

GROW PITTSBURGH - GARDEN DREAMS GREENHOUSES In 2019, Grow Pittsburgh was gifted the Garden Dreams urban farm in Wilkinsburg. We completed a planning and visioning study to demolish a large dilapidated Victorian and reconfigure the site around three large greenhouses. This aerial rendering shows the campus concept of the layout, positioning the public open space in the protected interior of site. Work is ongoing on the interior renovation of a Garden Dreams office in an adjacent house.

CENTRE AVENUE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN This project reimagines the Hill District Centre Avenue Corridor as a meeting place for residents, a welcoming place for visitors, a sharing place for institutions, and a place of exchange for businesses. The rendering emphasizes proposed green infrastructure while suggesting yet-to-be-designed architectural interventions. Views are specially chosen to be identifiable by residents as the project had a robust community engagement scope.

PAST PROJECTS

Past projects at Safdie Architects in Boston focused on large-scale architecture and urban design work in Asia and South America. Starting as a research fellow exploring architectural implications of mobility-on-demand, I quickly moved on to mixed-use residential projects, masterplanning, and an international design competition.

My involvement in these projects were largely in the concept design, schematic design, and design development phases.
