PROGRAM: RESIDENTAL/COMMERCIAL+ EDUCATION

The Facade holds many openings that gradually decrease and number and area to emphasize on the transition of public to private space from bottom to top, The facade is designed to be inviting for the pedestrians along Bering Street and Lancaster Avenue, Every floor is designed with a communal space in respect to their specific needs and depending on it’s frequency and usage. There is a resturant on the first floor which has a stage for musicians or play actors while there being a Music School on the second floor that overlooks the stage through the courtyard opening above the indoor dining area.

FALL 2019

INSTRUCTOR: ULRIKE ALTENMULER

This project provided an invaluable opportunity to engage deeply with the urban fabric of West Philadelphia, with a particular focus on the Lancaster Avenue corridor. The work involved extensive site analysis and field research to better understand the neighborhood’s architectural, cultural, and material context. Through on-the-ground observation, photography, and material sampling, I was able to document a wide range of building typologies, facade treatments, and construction methods representative of the area’s layered history and diverse architectural character.

The drawing component of the project emphasized precision and clarity in architectural drafting, requiring the use of varied line weights to distinguish structural elements, material changes, and spatial hierarchies. Each facade study was carefully rendered to capture the unique architectural language of the buildings—ranging from traditional masonry rowhomes to commercial storefronts with more modern interventions.

By cataloging the buildings through measured drawings and visual analysis, I developed a deeper understanding of how architectural typologies respond to urban context, scale, and materiality. The resulting facade studies not only highlight the stylistic diversity of the neighborhood but also reflect how architecture can serve as a lens through which we read and interpret the history and identity of a place.

CAFE JAWN COMMUNITY HUB - FARMER JAWN EXTENSION

This Project was located in a neighborhood in Philadelphia called kensignton. This was part of an extension project that I was previously tasked with designing which held a community garden within a corridor in between the neighboring building. This corner project was based on creating a space that could occupy residential and commercial occupants while we had to make a choice as to what to put there. I chose to design a building that would not only help grow the community but also house residents on the upper floor. I chose to have a cafe/lounge space on the first floor, A tutoring/ co-working space on the second floor prioritizing on educating kids under the age of 18. The third and fourth floor was designed to be a two story residential space offering a spacious layout for a family and outdoor space on the balconies and roof top where occupants would be able to enjoy views of the city and being playful integrating the outdoor environment with the structure by creating interesting facade designs and balcony spaces.

RESIDENTIAL APARTMENTS

MIXED USE HOUSING & LIBRARY

WINTER 2021

9 WEEKS

PROGRAM- RESIDENTIAL BUILDING MIXED WITH INTEGRATED GREEN SPACES AND A LIBRARY

THE SITE IS LOCATED OFF OF LANCASTER AVENUE, WHICH IS LOCATED IN A DENSELY POPULATED RESIDENTIAL AREA SO CALLED MANTUA. THE TASK WAS TO DESIGN A BUILDING CONTAINING BOTH AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND A PUBLIC LIBRARY. THE HYBRID STRUCTURE CONTAINS A LIBRARY ON THE LOWER LEVELS WHILE ALSO BEING INCORPORATED ON THE RESIDENTIAL LEVELS ON THE UPPER FLOORS. ITS DESIGN FOCUSES ON THE IDEA OF HAVING AN ENCLOSED COURTYARD FOR THE RESIDENTS WHILE IT ALSO BEING OPEN TO THE LIBRARY: SPACE USAGE IS MAXIMIZED TO GIVE MORE ROOM FOR RESIDENTIAL UNITS AND MAXIMIZE SPACE FOR LIBRARY USE WHILE INCORPORATING OUTDOOR GREEN SPACES. THE MAIN CONCEPT OF THE BUILDING IS TO CREATE A SINGLE STRUCTURE THAT SEPERATES THE TWO DISTINCT SPACES BUT ALSO BRINGS THEM TOGETHER VISUALLY IN A WAY THAT FOSTERS THE COMMUNITY.

DREXEL SMARTHOUSE PRINTING HUB

For this project we were tasked with designing a small creative space that students can use throughout the year. This Building itself needed to be under 800 SF and ADA Accessible I chose to design a Printing Center & Lounge. The facade itself symbolizes the pattern of a printing nossle as it prints each side of the building creating playful shadows and design within the structure. The Roof of the structure consists of an outdoor lounge space that is acompanied by an overhead canopy that provides shade and generates solar energy in order to apply sustainability to the structure. Creating an eco friendly space for students to utilize and enjoy.

POWELTON INCUBATOR

SPRING STUDIO 2020 - 9 WEEKS

PROGRAM - BUISNESS INCUBATOR WITH COMMUNITY CENTER/AIMED TOWARDS CO-WORKING SPACES

The Community Incubator site is located off of Powelton Avenue, which is located in a densely populated residential area that is tasked with catering towards the needs of the community including University city and West Philadelphia. The design uses the existing Samuel Powel school structure in order to be repurposed for sustainabilty. The new design allows for more flexibilty in its form and programmactic needs by adding four external structures in order to utilize the existing grid by creating a new organizational format to be incorprated with green spaces and outdoor community spaces. That is meant to be integrated into the new program of the additional structures. This new format allows for more programs to be seperately assigned to each structure while also allowing there to be transparency that is carried out throughout this project that highlights the significants of each part of the building while also creating an interactive experience with the community by allowing the pedestrians to be encouraged to observe the work that is being done within the office spaces from the street or sidewalk.
