Commercial (11,238 SF) Buchart Horn / 2021 110-112 North Rd Elkton, MD
The Town of Elkton requestied proposals for an adaptive reuse feasibility study for the former Elkton Council Hall building located at 110112 North Street, Elkton, MD.
The design option shown is innovative and would protect and showcase the unique construction of the historic building. The design intent was to add economic value to the Downtown area and provide a revenue source for Elkton’s Main Street organization, the Elkton Alliance.
This project was funded through the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) & the Technical Assistance Grant (TAG).
The two-story brick structure with a bell tower, was turned over to the commissioners in February of 1891. Once the Singerly Fire Company was incorporated in 1892, the first floor housed Singerly’s steam engine, hook-and-ladder, and two hose carts while the upper story served as the municipal office.
In a town at the time that relied on two old hand-pumpers for over 60 years, it was a modern advancement as the latest in firefighting.

Apart of the Aerotropolis studio during the senior year of my undergraduate studies; Gilette Tower along with the aerotroplis were created in an effort to provide College Park, MD with a more modern, aviation themed epicenter. The foundation of this studio was to learn how to redesign existing conditions with a futuristic eye.
This watchtower is the center of the aerotropolis. It is adjacent to the city’s metro line which brings in majority of the area’s commuters. With the new purple line being constructed in College Park now, this project goes hand in hand with that aesthetic.
The Kauffman House, one of architect Richard Neutra’s several iconic projects, is in Palm Springs, California. Completed between 1946-1947, the Kaufmann House was a vacation home for Edgar J. Kaufmann Sr. and his family to escape the harsh winters of the northeast. This precedent study was our studio program’s introduction to architecture. We were all assigned a famous home/monument and instructed to study the building in addition to the site, architect behind the design, and its properties.
