The key design challenge with this site is the rehabilitation and reuse of an existing Second Empire home on the site. In this particular set of plans that I generated, I was exploring the concept of entry to the new housing addition through the historic home directly on Mass Ave. As we were able to maintain a high unit count and simplify/reduce interior circulation, the concept was well received by the client.

The users intended to keep the current massage tables, and space required for these existing tables controlled the layout of the rooms.   Wellness Center - Second Draft The second draft was completed after receiving feedback from the OPM regarding the large amount of space dedicated to the treatment rooms. Therefore, we reduced the number of treatment rooms from six to five and reconfigured staff spaces.   Wellness Center - Final Draft - Schematic Design The final draft was completed based on feedback obtained during a working meeting with the user group. We were able to work with the users to shrink the treatment rooms, while keeping the requested six treatment rooms, and better understand their support space needs.

These sketches were a quick way to visualize how the historic style of the existing home could begin to inform design decisions for a modern housing addition.   Yellow trace, pen, colored pencil https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57be1738b3db2ba07a7880d5/57d33788e58c62ac0e1f8881/57c781c1f5e231734259d9b4/1473864321227/HousePlans-01.jpg gallery - master - Final Design Development Documents Working with my parents, I completed design documents through a design development phase that would allow them to seek a contractor who would continue in a design/build capacity.   Revit https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57be1738b3db2ba07a7880d5/57d33788e58c62ac0e1f8881/57d961cd46c3c49b8b7849c5/1473864153349/house.jpg gallery - master http://www.rlformosa.com/construction-documents daily 0.75 2016-09-13 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57be1738b3db2ba07a7880d5/t/57d858cc03596eb8b5962765/1473796170285/ scc - construction documents - Construction Floor Plan - 6th Floor North This is a sample of the 100% CD set (revised via bulletin).

The users intended to keep the current massage tables, and space required for these existing tables controlled the layout of the rooms.   Wellness Center - Second Draft The second draft was completed after receiving feedback from the OPM regarding the large amount of space dedicated to the treatment rooms. Therefore, we reduced the number of treatment rooms from six to five and reconfigured staff spaces.   Wellness Center - Final Draft - Schematic Design The final draft was completed based on feedback obtained during a working meeting with the user group. We were able to work with the users to shrink the treatment rooms, while keeping the requested six treatment rooms, and better understand their support space needs.

The users intended to keep the current massage tables, and space required for these existing tables controlled the layout of the rooms.   Wellness Center - Second Draft The second draft was completed after receiving feedback from the OPM regarding the large amount of space dedicated to the treatment rooms. Therefore, we reduced the number of treatment rooms from six to five and reconfigured staff spaces.   Wellness Center - Final Draft - Schematic Design The final draft was completed based on feedback obtained during a working meeting with the user group. We were able to work with the users to shrink the treatment rooms, while keeping the requested six treatment rooms, and better understand their support space needs.

The site is directly off of Mass Ave and falls under residential zoning; however, after initial studies showing that we would only be able to build a fraction of the desired units, the client had an adequate case to request a change in zoning to either BA-2 or BC.

The key design challenge with this site is the rehabilitation and reuse of an existing Second Empire home on the site. In this particular set of plans that I generated, I was exploring the concept of entry to the new housing addition through the historic home directly on Mass Ave. As we were able to maintain a high unit count and simplify/reduce interior circulation, the concept was well received by the client.

Completed for a multi-family affordable housing project of approx. 25 units, these are a series of hand sketches done during the conceptual design phase. One of the key design challenges was the rehabilitation and reuse of the existing Second Empire home on the site. These sketches were a quick way to visualize how the historic style of the existing home could begin to inform design decisions for a modern housing addition.   Yellow trace, pen, colored pencil https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57be1738b3db2ba07a7880d5/57be1bd8e3df281808ef59e4/57be1c0aff7c507ea1c78c9a/1472076810050/ ... http://www.rlformosa.com/wcg daily 0.75 2016-09-13 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57be1738b3db2ba07a7880d5/57be318d9f74567b800482a1/57d88219e6f2e12109525715/1473807131234/garden6.jpg ... - Build Day Instructions For the first build day, I created a set of easy to follow instructions for the volunteers.

However, WCG found this site to be almost unacceptable due to the distance from accessible parking, distance from water, lack of public presence, and lack of a fence.

The house needed to be rebuilt with a minimum amount of square footage if it were to have comfortable finishes. The cycle of design and feedback continually decreased the size of the house to around 1,900 sf. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57be1738b3db2ba07a7880d5/57d951a11b631bd0e2925b40/57c77e35197aea831deb5880/1473862528228/House-01.jpg ... - Concept Sketches In the summer of 2012, my parents house was completely destroyed by fire. They wanted to remain on the same piece of land and rebuild in a different location, approx. 300' away and up on top of a small rise. There were several prevailing ideas that drove design: 1. Take advantage of the expansive hilltop views; 2. Maximize daylight; 3. Create easy and integral access to the outdoors.     https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57be1738b3db2ba07a7880d5/t/57d9535bbe659412f369335f/1473860445640/Site+Background.jpg ...
