The objective of our Carroll Manor project was to design a Classical residence for the Carroll family, descendants of Charles Carroll, a Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence. The site was located in Baltimore, Maryland, on a three-acre lot directly North in orientation to the Baltimore Washington Monument.
The estate was to be of a “monumental” scale and design language, and befit the family’s heritage as well as thesitecontext.InhearkeningtotherootsofColonialAmerica,IchosetoincorporatetheEnglishHighClassical style of the 18th century, using as precedent the works of John Vanbrugh, especially Blenheim Palace.

The first half of the semester was spent reading about and studying the dreadful nature of the first World War. We made several visits to the Liberty Memorial in Kansas City, Missouri in order to understand how its architecture and symbolism related to the war, as well as to the architecture of the early 20th century. Our site was situated on a grassy area adjacent to the Academic Quad on campus. For this specific design, inspiration was taken from several war memorials and cenotaphs designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens.

For this project we were tasked with redesigning the east transept of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, in Wichita, Kansas, which houses the tomb of Servant of God, Father Emil Kapaun. After a long day of field measurements, extensive research was done on Kapaun’s life and legacy, as well as on the great Baroque chapels of Italy, to help add more life and sacred symbolism to this chapel’s design.
