The Light House

The Light House is a study in light. It unifies my client James Turrell’s ‘spatial’ light with Thomas Phifer’s ‘planar’ light, combined with an uncanny ‘lightness’ of form.

Prof. David Bench

The Light House, inspired by James Turrell and Thomas Phifer’s Salt Point House, integrates distinct programmatic volumes for a live/work studio house. Turrell’s use of light as a medium and Phifer’s planes of transparency influence the space, framing views and enhancing the artist’s lifestyle in a simple, cohesive way

Transparency

My design draws on the work of James Turrell and Thomas Phifer, using light and transparency to create transitions between public, semi-private, and private spaces. The house visually lightens as it expands in volume, achieving an ethereal engagement and a structural interplay of lightness.

Red Hook,

Site: Red Hook Pedestrian Garden Riverside Artist Community, Red Hook, Brooklyn.

Home to several industrial 19th century arched brick warehouses and shipping yards along the NYC waterfront with views of: Governor’s Island, Statue of Liberty, Lower Manhattan, and Jersey City. The area’s rapid cultural growth, artist community, historical surroundings, expansive views, and industrial heritage, make it a suitable home for the Red Hook Pedestrian Garden Riverside Artist Community.

Following a grid system the design integrates the idea of lightness in plan and section, emphasizing the design concept furthermore.

The Cave

terrace

The idea behind the structure of the visitor center is to be hidden whilst standing out. My design is created with the extrusion of the topographic lines into the floor plates of the building, creating a structure that pops out while maintaining the language of the landscape. The form also follows a hierarchy in the resolution and a distinct contrast between the floor plates and the wall style.

The aim of this project is to allow tourists to have a overall experience, giving information about the park, providing panoromic views and creating a community that supports tourists and meet their needs.

The Divide

The Divide is a bath house derived by a Le Corbusier painting. The design uses the concept of a datum as a principle that governs its function and program.

Prof. Daniel Avilan Medina

“Still Life with many objects”

In this painting, background elements appear as shadows cast by foreground forms, divided by the central table acting as a “datum” that distinctly separates elements from their shadows. This datum conceptually guides my project, with the interplay of light and shadow consistently woven throughout my three scenes.

1. Circulation

Based on the circulation of water along a datum. This datum allows the water to flow from the top to the bottom creating a waterfall.

2. Heating Mechanism

Natural heat transfer from a very hot area to a warm area due to the datum separating the two spaces

3. Public and Private Private, Semiprivate, and Public spaces follow along with the datum that cuts through them.
