PCR Channel
Date: Fall 2022
Site Location: Boat House Row
This project aims to provide a boathouse to the Philadelphia Rowing Club (PCR). When asked what values the club holds most, they “seek to empower young children, through education and experience.” The Boathouse Channel makes use of some of the basic principles of PCR. One of the most important being the movement of people and sculls through the ground floor and out onto the water. The idea of channeling, guiding, leading, is achieved through the various fins located on the top of the structure. You can view these fins from the top and how they lead from the ground into the water. The fins also carry down through the structure to create different spaces within the structure. This enables the user to experience the idea of channeling all throughout. Glass facades line the main staircase to provide a feeling of ascension, with views out towards the city and of the Schuylkill River.

Light Core
Date: Fall 2022
Site Location: Mantua
The Light Core Intergenerational row house is a simple yet effective housing strategy. The main goal of this project was to accommodate two generations of family within one row house. It plays with simple strategies of pushing and pulling as well as subtraction to an already existing rectangular prism. The main feature of the structure is a large light well that serves its users as well as multiple access points for light to enter. The facade is comprised of sustainable materials such as recycled brick and wood and a main circulation stair to allow for a heat egress.

Community Matrix
Date: Winter 2023
Site Location: Francisville
The Community Matrix is located in Francisville and serves as a unique opportunity to merge two different paths of the Philadelphia grid system. Located at the intersection of 19th Street and Wylie Street, it offers an ideal location for a mixed use structure. This particular project explored a mixed use for residential units and a library. Overlaying and extending the streets of Philadelphia over the site, offered a unique exploration of the various patterns and massing. The shape of the structure incorporates the library on the ground level, residential units on the upper levels and room for row homes and commercial spaces on the extensions. The shape also offers large green spaces for the community, all while sheltering its users.

Nature’s Border
Date: Spring 2023
Site Location: Powelton Village
Nature’s Border is an adaptive reuse project for a pre-existing school in the powelton Village area. Originally a brick and steel structure, Nature’s Border seeks to keep the original grid structure all while extending and breaking out of its original form. The adaptive reuse is one of three structures on the site, all of which seek to provide a natural haven for the residents and users. Three main structures occupy the site and each holds its own purpose for a wellness center. The main structure is split with rooms for physical checkups and private offices as well as classrooms on the second level. Adjacent structures fit into the curvature of the main building and house a therapy center to foster mental health and a gym to promote physical well being.
