My role Concept design, development of SD, DD, CD drawing sets description
While working with MBB Architects, I assisted with the design of the expansion of an existing building for Grace Church School in NYC, including a new double-height gymnasium and a supporting athletic center built at the top of the existing school.
The 14,000-square-foot addition provides flexibility for a wide range of uses and a variety of physical and academic activities. The design of the gym takes advantage of its rooftop location to maximize natural light via long skylight slits and large windows. The selection of materials—primarily glass, steel beams and wood slats—emanates warmth.
