Located on a small triangular site in the heart of Tribeca, the Canal Street Hotel features a unique hat-truss structure which enables a column free space on both the exterior and interior allowing for maximum flexibility of program. Each guest room provides idyllic views of the surrounding neighborhood regulated by an undulating louver system which not only adds a sense of movement to the facade, but aids in directing wind hitting the building. The double height ground floor serves as both a lobby for the hotel as well as a restaurant open to the community. A grand staircase on the southern point of building leads the public directly from the sidewalk to a hard-scape park on the roof of the lobby, providing a much needed space of respite in the densely populated neighborhood.

With the help and advisement of numerous outside consultants, a complete construction document set was produced for the Canal Street Hotel spanning from demolition to details unique to the project.

Located in the low-income area of Hamilton Heights, the Harlem School of the Arts has provided an array of fine art programs to the community’s youth for the past 50 years. In an effort to revitalize the current black box theater adjacent to the school I have proposed a plan which not only remedies current code violations faced by the theater, but poses it as a cornerstone of social interaction within the community. By inverting the notion of a black box as a sealed object the facade begins to function as a unique performance space for the community. Performances occurring on the interior are recorded and simultaneously broadcast via the facade through innovative LED technology allowing for an even wider public to join the small community performances.

The exterior acts as a gateway to generating interest in the revitalized theater and school, while the interior provides necessary space for both performers and viewers alike. The proposed HSA theater was designed under the guidance of clients Yvette L. Campbell (President and CEO of the HSA) and Tony Griffin (Direct of the J. Max Bond Center on Design).

The proposed intervention at the Port of Barcelona posits a transformation of an underutilized industrial pier into a new site of one of Google’s many expanding headquarters. This unique site located just on the outskirts of the city serves as both a major hub for both the tourist and industrial sectors of Barcelona. The site responds to these two sectors by effectively creating a campus in which both employees and the public can gather. Rather than demolishing the existing infrastructure the proposed plan aims to salvage those industrial buildings which are still structurally sound in order to create a unique and programmatically varied master plan.

The main office building at the end of the pier will transform an out-of-commission 150,000 sq-ft grain silo into a new office space which encourages ‘casual collisions’ between employees of different departments. Various public spaces have been allocated along vertical circulation routes along with selectively cut floor plates which encourage greater transparency in a unusual corporate environment.

One of the consistent criticisms of architecture’s use of novel technology is that the technology in turn controls the form and aesthetic of the medium of production. Further, technology alters the conceptual way we see and produce the built world depriving authorship and informing a zeitgeist. The counter claim is that we must begin from what we can produce in order to consider the ultimate form and concept. Through an intensive study of positive Gaussian curvature and structural systems based on subdivision I have designed a deployable atrium space using innovative methods of computer scripting and fabrication.

Programs for this space include a small intimate review space with wall exposure and room for critics, a space suitable for a larger review and a central larger free-span space for convocation assemblies.

Based off the work of Buckminster Fuller, the proposed structure takes the form of translucent domes with operable apertures to allow for variation in acoustics and light. The project is centered on a system of aggregation and tessellation that can be simply constructed using minimal material to inform the structural enclosure. Using simple methods of CNC milling this project is currently being fabricated for use at the Spitzer School of Architecture.

In an effort to expand upon and experiment with different drawing and modeling techniques OMA’s famed Casa De Musica was throughly analyzed in terms of form, context, and representation. Featuring two “shoe-box” concert halls captured in a singular form, the architects at OMA attempted to reinvigorate the traditional concert hall in another way: by redefining the relationship between the hallowed interior and the general public outside.

Through thorough reproduction of construction drawings a better understanding of the building was gained and then expanded upon through numerous diagrams, axonometric drawings, and models. Studies focus on the relationships between exterior and interior as well as variations on form generation.

PS 35 Queens, New York IBI Group - Gruzen Samton is designing a new addition to accommodate an additional 352 students to an existing school, PS35Q – The Nathaniel Woodhull School, located in Hollis, Queens. The approximate size of the addition is 43,000 square feet and includes a new Entry Lobby, Gymatorium, Student Dining, Kitchen, Library and Instructional Spaces. The design also includes the reconfiguration of existing spaces to provide Early Childhood and Special Education Classrooms. The existing building will be upgraded to provide full accessibility and will also undergo a major renovation of the exterior envelope.

The basic challenge of the project was to create an efficient and successful addition without wiping out the new dual use playground and community activity space. A rational and concise layout provides abundant natural light, open and flexible classroom spaces and an inviting Gymatorium with direct view to and from the street. The facade of the building has been designed to reference the existing building while simultaneously emphasizing the circulation and function of the interior spaces.

A large zone for active play has been recreated and provides a running track and a basketball court. Within the basketball area, games for children are incorporated into the design, enabling the space to be used for less energetic activities to take place during recess periods yet maintaining its ability to serve more active play during non school hours.

The school is organized into two main components. A four story Academic Wing will be constructed along the west edge of the site.

This wing will encompass instructional spaces, offices, Cafeteria and Library. A three story Public Assembly Wing will be located at the northeast corner of 164th Street and Hillside Avenue. This wing comprises the “big box” spaces that require long column-free structural spans, which include the Gymnasium and multiuse “Gymatorium”. A two story glass-enclosed Lobby/Gallery has been designed as a space between two buildings. It joins these two wings to provide for the school’s main entrance and connect the major internal public spaces to facilitate their use by the community after school hours.

The masonry clad Academic Wing is articulated by long continuous horizontal openings comprised of a system of windows, mullions and metal panels that accommodates and expresses the variety of the program within.

Located at the corner of 164th Street and Hillside Avenue, the L-shaped 115,000 SF elementary and intermediate school building encloses and defines a significant public open space that will serve the recreational needs of the school and community. The new school will accommodate 830 students in grades PK through 8. The recreational courtyard is located adjacent to the school’s main entrance in front of the building allowing for ready surveillance by school staff as well as the community at large.

In response, IBI Group - Gruzen Samton has added an additional classroom floor to the top of three of the brownstones, and a new 2,000 square foot gymnasium, with rooftop play area, in the common rear yard. As part of the building consolidation, IBI Group - Gruzen Samton has replaced the existing fire escapes at the rear of the brownstones with new open corridors and fire stairs thereby unifying the 7 brownstones into one school accessible at all levels, and has also added an elevator to provide handicapped access to all floors.

The design is an innovative contribution to the school’s ongoing effort to provide state-of-theart facilities in the Upper West Side Historic District.

This project was approved by NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission with a Certificate of Appropriateness because it is in the Westside Historic District.

We are also working in several other areas of their campus on the Westside as well, including having added a mezzanine in the Upper School’s Library as well as adding two additional floors to the Middle School.

COLUMBIA GRAMMAR

One of the oldest institutions of its kind in America, Columbia Grammar Preparatory School (PK through grade 12) has been committed to expanding its facilities for more than two decades. Part of their diverse campus consists of 7 separate brownstone townhouses for the Lower School (ages 4-7) that they wished to consolidate and enlarge.

New York, New York The Heschel School creates a single campus on West End Avenue and 61st Street by adding a new 9-story building to allow its vibrant Early Childhood facility, Lower School, and Middle School to relocate from the Upper West Side and merge with its existing High School on a single campus.

The building’s facade is composed of transparent, translucent, and solid elements whose modulation creates a rhythm that reveals the richness of the school’s educational program and emphasizes the connection between the inner spiritual and outer secular worlds. Each school within the building has retained its own identity while benefiting from being located in a common facility.
