A New Chapte r
Afte r Ho use
A N ew Chapte r PROP OSA L .
The intent for A New Chapter is to create a place where people can turn to at any stage of their life. It is not just a library. It is a gathering space for the community - for both young and old alike. The interior courtyard is visible throughout the entire building. Native plantings, and the seasons they fall subject to, help portray the different phases of life we all experience. There are two areas to grow vegetation; the circle represents totality and timelessness. The town is encouraged to use the space in a way in which will help them grow alongside these spaces. The space is capable of accommodating a small yoga class, a large seminar, and can adequately provide a home to anyone who needs it. Because the Fall Foliage Festival has been a vital part of the local community for 70 years, it was essential to incorporate that history into the building. All of the windows can be opened to allow easy entry to have indoor and outdoor vending space. John Stewardson Memorial Fellowship Competition Submission.

On this site in Beacon, NY lays home to an old brickwork factory that lies in despair. The problem we faced was whether or not there were parts to save. My partner and I concluded that the original as the building has had a long history in the town. As this project turned into an brick part was worth saving seeing adaptive reuse project, it was clear to us the programs we proposed has to have a building and serving effect on the community of Beacon. Our intent was to Cultivate knowledge and promote synergistic ecologies through collaborative involvement, which resonates generationally. Through this, we proposed a place for people to come to learn, teach, and participate in music, art, and horticulture. Â?  Â?Â?  †   ‡ Â?   COTE Top Ten for Students Competition 2019 ‚ Â? Â?   €  Â?

[M2 ] COMMUNITY
Prioritizing the effects of climate change to pre-existing ecosystems is a primary design strategy. Circulation preserves and assists existing ecosystems through extended trails and piers elevated above constructed wetlands. Passive strategies such as solar heating and natural ventilation are used throughout to activate the site’s systems. Native edible plant life is incorporated throughout the greenhouse as a tool to integrate the community with their natural context.
Through program, this project emphasizes collaborative environments demonstrated through their adjacencies. Programmatic synergies such as the FOOD component utilize growing space within the greenhouse to serve cafe patrons with native cuisine. This is again emphasized from creative studio to vendor space to promote economic growth local to the Beacon community.
[M7] WEL L NESS The human experience and wellness of our users is integrated throughout all design strategies and systems. A waterwall emphasized as the spine and axis of the project filters, collects, and distributes naturally harvested rainwater. The experience of this wall showcases the process of this system through the fountain revealed along primary circulation. Art and music studios act as a tool to explore, develop, and practice creativity as a means to wellness. By opening the greenhouse to all other programs, Biophillic design is embraced for the user experience.

Cultivate utilizes both passive and active sustainable strategies to maximize the efficiency of th foundation’s energy usage. The site becomes and educational tool that can influence the communities awareness and ultimately become implemented into its future planning. The solar hot water collectors on the roof heats water running through coils in the wall helps maintain a constant building temperature. A buildings energy management system regulates thermal comfort and adjusts the buildings systems to help monitor its energy usage.
A smooth transition from the Hudson river to the trails of beacon are extended through piers leading users throughout the site and into the building.

U r ba n : For t h e Pe op le
Th e Hu m an In te rc h a n ge PROG RA M. Residing in the Poconos is the small town of Blakeslee. With a slowly declining population of 4,825, it was time to provide a breath of fresh air to Blakeslee and the Poconos. We were given an urban design project for this area while working closely with John Jablowski, the township manager. He requested our participation and collaboration* on the design of Blakeslee’s new central core, which focuses on the intersection of Route 115 a`nd Route 940. The programs he proposed focused on the “Pennsylvania Experience,” which strives to educate visitors about what Pennsylvania is like. *The beginning phases of this project were a group effort and every decision made was a collaborative effort with my three other partners: Melissa Palaus, Miranda O’dell, and David Truitt.
D ESIGN IN T E N T. To establish the village of Blakeslee as an interchange between scales of transportation and circulation, connecting program, people, and the natural environment.

Tucked away off of Route 476 lies an abandoned amusement park named Rocky Glen. Arriving at the site, one can find the foundation remains of the old rides as well as stairs and bathroom tiling. The amusement park was big hit in the early 1900s. After picking the placement. The temporary residential units would be places towards the back of the land, allowing for views of the entire lake and privacy away from the main program.

Life and death is an inevitable process. In the best times and the worst, together we share moments, experiences, and memories. As humans, we are geared to feed off the energy of one another. It is within this site where people reconnect with others. Every step through the site reminds you of the people around you experiencing the same sequences of life and death. The goal of Narrow House Crematorium and Research Center is to remind people that we are all humans and we all share two things, Life and Death.

The perception or awareness of the position and movement of the body is what we define to be proprioception. This “Sixth Sense” that we have been given helps us understand the orientation of our body in space, and allows us to move quickly and freely without having to consciously think about our position. Artists have explored what this means through many different mediums. Manuele Cerutti challenged this idea by painting objects in unusual postures and test their balance through composition, Petra Blaisse created a personal pavilion that challenged the idea of being an object in space as well as what the view and the viewer can do to enhance that. It is my goal to develop a project where the design can influence the building to have its own sense of position within its given context. Proprioception : is the sense of the relative position of one’s own parts of the body and strength of effort being employed in movement. It is sometimes described as the “sixth sense.” In humans, it is provided by proprioceptors in skeletal striated muscles and tendons.

After an artist from New York City purchased an old carriage house in PA it became his goal to create a studio and living space that he could use to escape the city. Through this design we were able to create enough space that the artist could store and work on his art while providing an area for relaxation on the second floor. This project included two new kitchens, a roof deck, studio space, and two full baths. This project is currently being constructed. // As an employee of PotterK Architecture on this project I helped create sections, elevations, details, and finish schedules.
