Millennium Tower Boston, MA Under construction
2012 - Present Handel Architects Millennium Partners 57 Floors 1,050,000 SF $404.5M Project Designer / Co-job Captain
Millennium Tower is located in the heart of Boston’s midtown cultural district, sharing a block with Daniel Burnham’s 1912 Filene’s department store, which went bankrupt in 2006. Shortly thereafter, the site was purchased and a 36 story office and hotel tower began construction on the north side of the lot. This project was abandoned in 2008 during the recession, leaving a 40 foot deep excavation idle in the center of the city. After several years of waiting for the initial developer to fulfill their plans, the site (including the Burnham building) was purchased by Millennium Partners for the construction of a larger residential tower. The Burnham building restoration was coordinated alongside the new tower design. In fact, the 3 basement levels and first 3 above grade levels are even with the Burnham floors in order to allow parking (in the case of the lower 2 basement levels) and retail to span across both structures, creating the opportunity for large retail tenants. The residential tower form and floorplate were driven by the desire to direct views southeast towards Boston Commons, as well as pulling away from the north facade of the Burnham building, which would now provide a glazed facade for the office space on its upper floors. The faceted nature of tower skin served both to provide a feature for unit living rooms as well as to accentuate the verticality of the tower form. Furthermore, each plane of the tower is rotated slightly away from the planes adjacent, creating variations in reflections across the facade. The termination of the tower is defined by inset penthouse terraces, banded together by nonreflective glazing, and set-back creating a magnificent terrace for the full-floor penthouse at the top floor. The tower extends all the way to grade at the corner of Franklin and Washington streets, and is wrapped by a podium facade that shares the same faceted, crystalline language. The Washington facade kinks just slightly, reflecting contextual queues from adjacent buildings, while the Franklin facade ripples with sever breaks in order to create vertical expressions sympathetic with the existing building fabric along Charles Bullfinch’s adjacent Tontine Crescent. Large canopies are more or less continuous along the ground floor due to results of a wind tunnel analysis. The site is benefitted from a small plaza on its front door, Shoppers Park, which is also being renovated as part of this development, creating a revitalized urban space for the city.

2011 - 2012 Handel Architects Related Midwest 60 Floors 930,500 SF $180M Team Designer
The project is situated at the southwest corner of Wacker Drive and Clark Street, in the heart of Chicago’s central business district and directly overlooking the iconic main branch of the Chicago River. The site consisted of an existing 25 story concrete shell with 4 levels of below grade structure, remnants of a previously unrealized hotel project abandoned in 2008. The challenge was how to marry a new program laid onto a new tower footprint with its own unique structural needs, superimposed onto a shell with entirely different elements. After studying the structure, the best solution involved moving the tower out towards the front of the site in order to capitalize on the best river views; keeping those core elements that cannot move (e.g. elevators) and moving those that can (e.g. stairs); laying out a normative column structure that works with residential planning; and creating a transition between the two that works structurally (columns, shear walls, core), mechanically (transformer location, mep systems), and architecturally (unit planning, cladding, and overall aesthetic consistency). Architecturally, it was important for the design team to create a unified building form, one that would encompass the entire structure as one complete and cogent idea, unencumbered by the change in design necessitated by the break in construction, program, and ownership. Many material palettes were investigated, including stone, terra cotta, and metal panel. An all-glass scheme was chosen as the overall cladding system. With a taut glass skin as a base, an incised element was introduced - a “ribbon� of non-reflective glass, darker in appearance, wending its way up and around the structure in a continuous move around all four elevations. This ribbon helped create project specific moves on the entirety of the mass of the building in a manner that reinforced the vision of the building as a whole. As an architectural element, the ribbon offered an opportunity to create breaks at major elements of the building. Aesthetically this helped create the highlight zones where programs like the amenity floor would be located. Urbanistically, these breaks would tie into the street wall, registering the continuity of buildings along the River and cornice lines from our immediate neighbors, respecting the inplace rhythm along this highly visible frontage.

2400 Nueces Austin, TX Completed 2013
2009 -2011 PageSoutherlandPage EDR Trust 16 Floors 588,000 SF $63.9M Project Designer
An important new trend in university residence halls centers on creating active urban neighborhoods adjacent to campuses that blur the boundary between “town” and “gown”. The goal is to establish pedestrian-friendly mixed-use environments that are a compact, safe and friendly extension of the campus. City councils and planning commissions are working closely with university officials and planners to make urban campuses, in particular, a seamless part of the larger city. University residence halls are a key element in this transformation. The 2400 Nueces Student Housing Project will be a major landmark in the developing West Campus neighborhood adjacent to the University of Texas at Austin. It puts physical form to the vision created in the University Neighborhood Overlay (UNO) rezoning initiative in 2004. Conceived to increase density in central Austin, reduce commuting traffic to the university and enhance a strong sense of community in the campus area, the UNO initiative is transforming a neighborhood that was once dominated by single family houses interspersed with fraternity and sorority houses into a pedestrian oriented urban neighborhood. The new housing will accommodate 622 students in 306 units with almost 10,000 sf of academic/retail space on the ground level. The building is broken into 8 “bars” of units—each of which is marked by a distinctive material and color. The bars are organized into an S-shaped configuration that creates two great outdoor rooms—an active court with a pool that has views to the hills of west Austin and a quiet court that is oriented east toward views of the campus. The architectural treatment of the building is designed to create a pedestrian and neighborhood scale while creating the higher density that is essential to achieve the sustainability and community building goals of UNO.

67,000 SF $26M Team Designer
The new Fine Arts Performance and Academic Complex at UT Pan American replaces two existing 40 year old buildings, which will be demolished, in the existing Fine Arts complex on campus. This new 70,000 square foot building will complete the Fine Arts Quad, and greatly enhance the performance and rehearsal capabilities of the Music Department. There are seven primary spaces in the building – a grand porch and lobby, the main 1,000 seat theatre which will accommodate a variety of music, dance and theatrical performances, a 180-seat recital hall, and dedicated rehearsal spaces for Band, Orchestra, Choir and Mariachi/ Jazz. The building is located near the southeast corner of campus - a grand porch and lobby are oriented toward University Boulevard and Downtown Edinburg to the south and east to make this building a unique gateway onto campus from the City. A series of structural brick arches soar along this porch and lobby as a welcoming gesture, and as an introduction to the unique architectural context of both the campus and the Rio Grande Valley. The building is carefully knit into the existing campus – it completes the Fine Arts Courtyard to the west, and aligns its main circulation spine with the principal north-south axis of campus – reinforcing its role as a key entry point onto the University.

TOGS 3 International Design Competition Finalist 2010 Personal work
The TOGS (temporary outdoor gallery space) competition asks its participants to design a modular art pavilion that can be easily assembled and disassembled, shipped, and stored. These small galleries are intended to be utilized during Art Week Austin - clustered along 1st Street, providing spaces for local artists and craftspeople to display their work. Among the stated purposes of the TOGS is to showcase the ‘synergy between art and architecture.’ The exterior architecture of museums and gallery spaces often respond to the built and cultural environments in which they find themselves, but often that connection dies in a glow of white walls, wood floors, and diffuse lighting as soon as we enter. The pieces, at this point, may hold some fragile bond to their residence, but very little to the world outside those walls, and much less to those visitors who wander the halls. Lens attempts to explore this disparity through integration of context, both live and environmental, by pulling the outside into the gallery space while, at the same time, pushing the art out. This is done, primarily, through a system of modular panels, infilled with lenses. Convex lenses make up the majority of the panel. This lens shape has the effect of blurring and magnifying what’s viewed through it. While one is within the TOGS, they perceive an array of magnifications of the environment surrounding them; at the same time, these images are blurred. So, while the viewer is at once having environmental context thrust upon them, it is also abstracted to the point of nonrecognition, leaving them with the ability to absorb the art without intense distraction. For those passers-by of the TOGS, the reverse occurs, and the interior is arrayed and magnified; projecting itself into the world. This is true for all but an eye-level (from the exterior) band of concave lenses, which condense what is viewed through them, allowing a wider field of vision. Through these, the TOGS draws people close to peer through its surface, and receive a new perspective on what’s within. While the lens panels acknowledge the more static context (placement and product), a dynamic panel system addresses the impact of the audience; the more transient force at play. These panels make up a second layer within the lens shell, and may consist of varying materials to serve a variety of uses, dependent on the needs of the exhibitor. Able to slide, they encourage interaction between the viewers and the space, and therefore the art. Light and shade can be manipulated, as can views from the outside be affected. A visitor is allowed to more directly explore their relationship with the work by adjusting its environment, as can they affect the perceptions of others simultaneously.

Lakeway Regional Medical Center Completed 2012
2008 - 2009 PageSoutherlandPage
274,000 SF $86M Project Designer This 274,000 square foot facility was planned within a new medical and mixed-use development located in Lakeway, Texas; a short distance west of Austin. Lakeway Regional Medical Center serves as the primary acute care hospital for that community and provides a full continuum of both inpatient and outpatient services including cardiology, obstetrics, oncology, and orthopedics. Upon opening, the facility included 108 licensed beds with shell space to accommodate an additional 40 beds as demand requires. Lakeway Regional also provides a full array of diagnostic and treatment services, including an emergency department/ urgent care clinic planned for up to 40,000 visits per year. The site for this facility is spectacular and will afford patients, staff and visitors exceptional views to the Central Texas hill country, valleys, and lakes beyond. Though scenic, the site creates design challenges as contours drop over 80 feet from one end of the site to the other. Because of this, as well as limited acreage available for the hospital, the building massing takes advantage of this slope by placing the main entry three floors above the lowest level with each of those lower levels having access to landscaped courtyards and views to a manmade water feature that abuts the site. A hurried project schedule led to extensive use of integrally colored pre-cast concrete panels as the principal exterior cladding material. Near the public entrances, the material dialogue is dominated by Texas Leuders limestone, expansive glazing, and wood sunscreens. This conversation continues as one enters the lobby and waiting areas, where stone wraps into the interior from outside, wood sunscreens become slatted walls, and Ipe clad columns break the rhythm of curtainwall along the perimeter, turning horizontally at the ceiling plane to add a touch of plasticity at the waiting areas and concourses. Key to the building program is the ability for the facility to expand, because the Lakeway community has experienced a steady growth pattern for over a decade that is expected to continue. The building plan has been designed to permit lateral expansion at each level as well as vertical expansion for additional inpatient beds.

As one of the goals of the campus was to drive development of efficiency systems and alternative energy sources, it was imperative that the campus structures themselves embraced contemporary architectural technology systems. Both the laboratory and office facade systems were case studies in somewhat varying approaches to efficient glazing systems. The laboratory skin design consisted of a double, ventilated glass facade with automatic operable lites to assist with AMPHITHEATER interstitial air flow, as well as integral horizontal blinds and rolling solar shades.

The parti for the campus master plan was a series of linear structures that cluster themselves along the high point of property, alongside and above the adjacent highway. Each building would be paired with others, creating a pedestrian avenue between them that linked all parts of the campus, inviting interdisciplinary interaction and creating opportunities for intimate spaces within a large campus. These linear pairs oriented themselves along the natural topography of the site, creating a formal arrangement of built program driven directly by the characteristics of the topography. Parking was designed to be structured beneath the buildings and public plazas, hidden from view.

PageSoutherlandPage was asked by ConocoPhillips to participate in a competition to design a large corporate campus between Boulder and Denver Colorado, on a 432 acre plot they had recently purchased. To be constructed in several phases, this development was intended to provide space for their research and development teams, conferences and seminars, hospitality, general offices, and for potential future relocation of their entire headquarters. Partnering with Hargreaves Associates, PSP developed a master plan for full phase buildout, as well as a more detailed design study for phase I construction, which was to include a hotel and conference center, offices, and laboratories.
OFFICE
The office facade system was designed around vertical strips of building integrated photovoltaics. Paired with these were continuous horizontal exterior shades and interior light shelves, as well as a non uniform distribution of porous vertical shades clipped to the curtainwall. Multistory winter gardens punctuated this facade, and were to assist with local natural ventilation. Both systems employed under floor climate delivery systems.

Four Cort Apartments Austin, TX Unbuilt
2005 - 2006 PageSoutherlandPage PRM Realty 7 Floors 245,000 SF $14M Project Designer
Plan - Level 5
Located several blocks from the University of Texas, Four Cort was targeted at an increasingly dense student population west of campus. An arrangement of 156 units, three levels of enclosed garage, and a variety of exterior spaces, the design is informed primarily by the challenge of determining a compromise between the demands of density in this ever more populated neighborhood as well as the desire to create a safe and social living environment that appeals to the widest range possible of student lifestyles. In order to achieve this, the basic plan of the project takes on the character of a human hand, consisting of one four story building mass running the length of the interior property line with five other similar volumes arranged perpendicularly to it. These ‘fingers’ step down along their length in response to the enclosed parking garage beneath them as well as the relatively severe grade of the site, giving the project a more human scale through transitions in height. This arrangement also creates four distinct courtyards in the spaces between the fingers that step in a similar fashion, transitioning from grade level areas to above-garage activity decks, each landscaped with a character unique to itself but clearly related to the composition as a whole and representative of Austin’s natural vegetation. These spaces are open to the street, reducing the feeling of enclosure that is often overshadowing in interior courtyards, as well as creating a more inviting street façade, animated by the comings and goings of the buildings tenants.
Plan - Level 3
As a continuation of this gesture, the standard device of interior, double-loaded corridors is abandoned in favor of a layout that allows for the corridors to instead be exposed to any one of the open spaces created by the building’s massing. This inherently increases the safety of the project’s residents by reducing spaces that are not easily visually accessible, while at the same time enhancing the social interactions of its inhabitants for the same reason. The quality of the circulation spaces is also greatly improved through this visual access to the exterior environment - periodically through textural screens of Ipe hardwood or galvanized steel - as well as an abundance of fresh air. Designed as a single loaded scenario, the accompanying drop in efficiency of such a move is absorbed both through the elimination of the need to mechanically ventilate the shared spaces, as well as the fact that the majority of units are two-bedroom townhomes, requiring corridor access on only one of their two levels. These corridors are laced together through a combination of sculpturally arranged exterior stairs and bridges, connecting each unit with any one of the lower courtyards as well as several rooftop terraces at the buildings fingertips, created by the stepping of those volumes and offering clear views to nearby Pease Park. The building skin is a lightweight rainscreen system composed of painted fiber cement panels and interrupted by battens of Ipe hardwood that lend warmth and scale to the façade, its muted tone balanced by the boldly painted interior stucco surfaces of the residential corridors. Units are a mix of efficiency, one and two bedroom flats, and two bedroom townhomes. All have access to light and air in each primary room through large, operable casement windows.

Castle Clinton
New York, NY UTSOA - Thomas Phifer Studio
2005
Castle Clinton, in Battery Park, has a long and dynamic history. Constructed in 1811, it served originally as part of the system of battery defenses against a potential British attack. After its tour of duty was complete, it saw time as a promenade, beer garden/restaurant, exhibition hall, opera house, theater, the first immigration station, and the New York Aquarium. Today it is identified as a national monument and houses limited exhibition space and ticketing for the nearby Ellis Island ferry. Our studio program, which was one Thomas Phifer had been actually granted, was to design a conceptual outdoor amphitheater space within the castle walls. When not used as a theater, the project was to be used as a gateway to the Ellis Island ferries, containing ticketing, exhibition space, and a viewing promenade. Given the existing structure’s historical significance, it was important for the structure of the new development to sit lightly within the castle, careful to avoid the existing sandstone walls as well as some basement areas below grade. To that end, the project relied on a woven, diamond structure that brought loads down to finite points. This was applied to a spherical, double hull form that rises from within the castle walls. This is the primary form of the project in addition to a rectangular element at the front of the caste, framed and derived from the inner shape of the masonry walls, that houses ticketing, restrooms, and frames the stage above. The two walls of the lattice sphere create a circulatory ramp from the lower level to the promenade and amphitheater above. It is once the sphere rises above the castle walls that it is affected by several planes, the first of which being a structural glass deck that serves as the promenade and primary upper circulation plane. This extends over the castle walls, sheltering them from rain and providing an excellent viewing platform. The second plane is contained entirely within the inner sphere and is sloped for audience seating, directed towards the stage. The final plane alters the sphere itself, slicing it based on the angle and movement of the sun during the time most evening performances would take place, shielding the stage and its performers from natural direct light. Finally, the lattice structure of the sphere shells also provides and opportunity for additional shading through the inclusion of translucent blades infilling the diamond shaped spaces between structural members. These blades can be swiveled and rotated in order to provide more or less light, opened to increase ventilation of the audience or, conversely, closed in order to better shield the audience if necessary.

Boathouse Condos
Austin, TX UTSOA - Dean Almy/ Elizabeth Danze Studio 2004
Plan - Level 3
Provided with a small embankment on Lady Bird Lake, our task was to develop a residential structure with 4 condo units, parking, and a boating/fitness center. The site had many variables acting on it. Contextually, it was bound by an existing multistory housing development to the south, a rather highly traveled road on the east, a public boat slip to the north, and of course the lake to the west. Additionally, the site had roughly 15’ of vertical drop from Lake Austin Boulevard to the lake itself, as well as an artificial cove formed by the boat dock of the adjacent multifamily development and a finger of property alongside the public slip. Given the dramatic difference of amenity on each side of the property, the decision was made to attempt to allow each unit a piece of every site adjacency. Rather than having a mix of units, some better than others, the goal was to have residences that benefitted uniformly from each aspect of the site surroundings. Additionally, it was desirable to have a more private outdoor area for the residents, removed from the lively public space nearby. This, in conjunction with the distribution of site adjacencies, led to a design in which several distinct zones were built around the perimeter of the site, creating a shielded courtyard within.
Plan - Level 2
The entry to the project is through a private garage that is open to the lake on one side, and ringed by residential entries to the east and south. These spaces are primarily small offices or guest bedrooms, lit by clerestory windows off the courtyard above the garage structure. After entering underground, residents then walk up enclosed, but expressed stairways, glazed with frosted glass on the courtyard side, to the loft section of their unit which are ringed by balconies framed with sliding polycarbonate panels for varying degrees of privacy and light. This level provides primarily living spaces that have access to daylight on both two sides, one facing the private courtyard and the other of the large oak trees within the public boat ramp. The stairways connecting the lower portion with the loft spaces become structural elements, supporting the loft volume, as well as defining aesthetic devices; counteracting the mass of the primarily cast in place concrete structure through an expression of lightness. From these loft areas, each unit has a space that faces down river, providing every resident with spectacular views of the lake. Finally, the boathouse is expressed as a glazed volume, directly on the water, from which residents can launch their crafts.
