BOAT HOLE

Site and Translation

This design/build project is an intimate redesign, restructuring and renovation of a gutted boathouse into a family guesthouse in Northern New York.

The dominant horizon line to the north-east of the boathouse played a major role in dictating the spatial arrangement, visual focus and design details of this project.

Collaboration

My collaborator and I have acted as designers, construction managers and builders of this 300 sq. ft. project.

Our design revolves around the simplicity of the structure and its form. Two new decks mark the end of the promenade from the main house on the hill above to the magnificent view of the river below.

Detail and Furniture

Design details were driven by material and tool constraints and a desire to relate the project to the site.

The shelving, kitchen island, kitchen table and a pair of asymmetrical benches reference the landscape beyond while creating a comfortable and efficient space. The horizontal surfaces were made from a large cherry tree that was milled several years ago on the property.

The Walking Museum

By constructing a series of architectural interventions in the river, The Walking Museum will establish the Tiber River within the catalogue of Romes significant urban artifacts

This thesis considers how the relationship between urban watercourses and urban fabric can refresh biological processes, nourish vibrant social connections and stabilize economic interactions.

The six designs of these architectural focal lenses are derived from distilled river experiences:

Float, Perch, Eddy, Sink, Meander, Drift

SITE ACCORDING TO NOLLI:

Zones of movement become nodes of pause as the follies are placed at the locations of historic Traghettos, ancient cable ferries that acted as secondary bridges.

Detailed Example of Act:

Act Three:eddy

In order to re-invigorate the rivers edge, this follie offers market stalls for seasonal vendors.

When the river is too high to walk along the lower embankment wall, three islands rise individually to the height of three of the rivers most famous flood elevations heights.

THE CHAIR THAT MAKES CHAIRS

In this studio a chair was designed that acted as a diagrammatic and formal jig for constructing other chairs.

The jig chair is constructed out of mdf board and would be powder coated while the chairs that could be subsiquently constructre would be made of simple, off the shelf materials: 1 x 2 3/4 ply screws

In this design propsal an under utilized alley becomes an armature for the economic and social life of the Mt. Baker neighborhood in Seattle WA.

As a basis for this neighborhood to support a diversity of interactions a network of paths and nodes configures a variety usable spaces.

ECONOMIC, ECOLOGICAL AND SOCIAL EVOLUTION:

The area surrounding the site is constrained by both physical and conceptual barriers.

By identifying latent potentials embedded in the urban landscape a systematic approach was developed to mitigate the affects of these barriers and empower residents to form local and resilient interactions with economics, ecology and culture.

BUILDING TYPOLOGIES:a variety of building typologies are developed to fit into the aggregate of paths and nodes.

apartments are composed of a patchwork of dwelling units that maintain the diverse demographics of the community.

row houses are split into single family units or combined for larger family typologies the main floor is a live[work] flex-space that evolves with the needs of inhabitants.

We developed a Density Vs. Velocity graph to help describe the current use patterns considering three urban states: Event, Mobility and Dispersion.

This graph was then given spatial characteristics on the following maps

Our design focuses on the ability of the site to support a diverse set of programmatic activities while adding to the overall cohesion of the Seattle Center.
