NBI EAST HEADQUARTERS
AN EXEMPLAR OF A MORE SUSTAINABLY CONCIOUS BUILT ENVIRONMENT
This project for the New Buildings Institute (NBI) is complete with private offices and public event spaces. The parti of the building creates a direct connection between the building and the neighboring historic train station. An organic, curved form houses the major programmatic elements, creates a public “front porch” and cradles the rain garden. The “service” spaces are housed in a separate solid volume, clearly delineating programmatic hierarchy. The two forms are connected by a highly transparent transition space. The interior volumes are adorned with warm wood, are bathed in natural light, and are well ventilated to promote a comfortable work environment. The building tries to situate itself within the neighborhood context, responding with similar building heights and creating a pleasant threshold condition at the street.
This goal of this project was to come away with a holistic idea of the “building”. Designing the structure, maximizing bioclimatic factors to lower energy demand, and detailing the building envelope were critical portions of the project program. The southern face utilizes a double skin facade, allowing for extensive glazing yet high thermal control and insulation. In accordance with the mission of the NBI, all the building’s environmental features are intended to be highly visible, ensuring the building is itself a teaching medium. The building has been designed to meet all zoning codes and is fully accessible in accordance with the ADA.

ERODE: THE TERRAPIN INSTITUTE
EXHIBITING THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND’S LAYERED HISTORY
As a public educational institution, the University of Maryland has a responsibility to be forthcoming and transparent about its history. “Erode” conveys the concept of a complex, layered history through architectural expression, creating a dynamic new threshold onto campus. The Terrapin Institute is home to interpretive exhibits, offices, a cafe, and various meeting locations.
The project was inspired by natural geological formations of sedimentary rock native to Maryland’s river valleys and seashore. Limestone and sandstone are weathered into striking topographical features revealing distinct layers of the past. Much like a water carved canyon, these sedimentary layers are echoed in the floors of the building, each level takes on its own identity by offsetting and protruding from one another, moves that are accentuated through the use of prominent soffits and fascias. The building is centered around two tangential circles, which acting together give the appearance of the building being peeled apart, further revealing the layered nature of the building.
Located at the nexus of significant pedestrian circulation, the design of the building and landscape was strategic to encourage throughcirculation. Similarly, the building’s position as an entry point onto campus promoted the creation of strong viewsheds and open gathering spaces to establish a new focal point at the University of Maryland.

Exterior material finishes reinforce the natural layering concept. Glazing is prominent to allow views inside and out. Upper floors and soffits are clad in copper paneling. Lower floor facade materials consist of brick. A grasshopper script is used to offset the bricks into a wavy, textured pattern, providing more visual depth, as if naturally eroded.

SOLDIERS & SCHOLARS MEMORIAL
HONORING THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND’S STUDENT VETERANS
The University of Maryland community is a rich blend of varied perspectives, talents, and experiences. Among those most deserving of respect and continued thanks are the student veterans. These men and women balance life’s demanding challenges as a student with their experiences as soldiers. This monument is a dedication to their resolve in bettering themselves and serving their country.
The form is open to interpretation while also symbolic and everlasting. The shape at the core of the design is the chevron. Historically used through all branches of the military to denote rank, the abstracted form can also be interpreted as an open book, representative of the scholar. Throughout the monument, the shapes intersect and interact, tangibly communicating the idea of two lives coming together.
The “Crown” of the monument is comprised of two chevrons, creating a moment in the middle of the plaza. The Crown acts as a visual gateway onto campus and as a physical threshold through which the community can pass. On the outside, the material is black shot blasted metal, while on the inside refined obsidian paneling is reflective, creating a dichotomy of rough and smooth. The crown sits delicately on a granite base, emulating the balancing of student veterans’ two duties. Around the edge of the monument, quotes honoring those who have served are carved into the granite walls.

SACO LAKE BATH HOUSE
A SENSORY JOURNEY TO RECONNECT WITH YOUR SENSES
The Saco Lake Bath house is located in the picturesque White Mountains of New Hampshire. While secluded in the wilderness, the site is still readily accessible to hikers and travelers via the Crawford Notch Road and the Notch Train. The site’s location, offering spectacular natural views, unpredictable seasonal weather fluctuations, and soothing isolation, was the primary force driving the design of the project.
The design aimed to make such spectacular natural panoramas a destination. The end of journey should be particularly impactful, rather than commonplace throughout the site. This idea, along with a series of contracting and expanding spaces, facilitated circulation. The harmonious immersion of the building into the site helped to increase the contrast of each programmatic element and offer both a lower net environmental impact and a green roof public space.
Below ground, users are sheltered from the elements. Weary travelers progress through the building, touching the cool granite floors while listening to the sounds of running water. The terminus of the journey results in a sensory immersion within nature. At the far end of the tepedarium, long traveled visitors stand in the warm water, breathe in the cool air, and are surrounded by the sounds of the forest.

A KINETIC ARCHITECTURAL SYSTEM
This project attempts to tease a fundamental human quality: curiosity. The counterintuitive machine-wall seeks to invoke frustration from the viewer. The goal of this project was to create an architectural partition with the ability to obscure visibility through it. The degree to which one can see through it quickly became a variable in our parametric system; in keeping with initial ideas, this variable is inversely related with the distance of an agent to the partition. In order to make our partition more dynamic, we made it so that visibility through it occurs on a spectrum that radiates outward from a single focal point. This focal point follows the agent as they move past the partition, so that the least visible point on the partition is always at the center of the agent’s field of vision.
Upon developing our system, we began to seek out a context that would be appropriate for a cybernetically obstructive partition. In any case the facade would work counter-intuitively. Instead of allowing a greater view, the machine would close, thus restricting the view of an object or scene from any distance. In an idyllic situation, the facade would greatly limit one’s perception of a piece of artwork or of a majestic natural system. Such a device could also allow for business to be conducted in rooms immediately adjacent to crowded sidewalks with minimal distraction from passing pedestrians.
