MODULES
The Track House is able to achieve a near infinite layout with a wall railing system installed in the ceiling. Four different micro-modules of rails, lights, and other systems come together to form full modules that are implanted into the ceiling rack.
FREE FLAP THEATER
WINTER QUARTER 2019 While the art of theater is a modification of the body figuratively, Free Flap is based upon physical body modification. Particularly of the mandibulectomy, whole or partial removal of the jaw, which Free Flap derives it’s name from a part of the process. In keeping with the medical theme the main stage area of Free Flap is based upon vintage surgical theater, where all eyes are lifted seemingly to the heavens around the main stage, where none can escape the watchful eye of the patron.

ATELIER ARCHITECTURE
OBJECTIVES: SALON is a boutique architecture atelier, a one of a kind experience for architect and client alike. Focusing on materiality and the ways material itself can inform the look and feel of a building, instead of program. In the years to come I hope to fully become licensed in the field and form a business partnership with three to six other like-minded architects in order to see my ideas come to fruition in the real world.
LOCATION:
I am Noah Boudreau, an architect. I want to own my own firm and create the projects I am passionate about, working alongside like-minded people and f ulfilling projects for understanding and forward-thinking clients. On a day-to-day basis I would like to be going through the iterative process of design, making/remaking/de-making different versions of a project to share with other project partners and the client, making an architecture we all enjoy.
EDGE: SALON is different because of it’s atelier feel. Working directly one-on-one with the client, taking them step by step through the process with the studio and fraternising in a small intimate space with the partners. My services are better than others because I am better than others.
MISSION:
WITH its rich tapestry of material works and dense history of the city itself, Salon would be ideally located in Copenhagen, Denmark, giving it a unique air of European austerity to clients not from the region. Copenhagen also lends itself to the unique atelier, almost akin to a cottage industry where everything is designed in-house in an open-air studio.
THE mission of SALON is, “For Earth, by Earth.” Letting the raw fruits of the Earth show their natural beauty and form.
SALON is a partnership, with my ideal number of partners being around six, in order to allow for a wide range of different ideas while still retaining a small, atelier feel. Housed in a central office, work would be delegated among each of us, with each partner working either alone or alongside someone else.
FIRMS like Peter Barber, Snohetta, and Peter Marino are aspirational for Salon. Their use of material in new and exciting ways is something to be admired and looked upon as a model for design. While they are all definitely larger than SALON, they still retain a sense of boutique architecture through their branding and design focus.
STRUCTURE:
MARKET: SALON does not go for the huge, gaudy public works that are forced upon with a predisposition to the same form and function, instead going for the passion projects of people who know what they want and have an understanding of the architectural basics, but need someone to put the pen to the paper and draw out the papers. Announcing services through architectural magazines, instagram, and architectural blogs will let SALON reach this market— the person who knows what they want but might need some help in getting those ideas down on paper.
COMPETITION:
SUMMARY: SALON is about the rush you get from touching a building, connecting with it hands-on and feeling the building speak to you through i’s walls, its floors, and its fenestration. Using raw and untreated material to let the Earth have a chance to shine through the thick veneer of artificiality that is all too common in the architectural profession.
