Southern Streams Health and Wellness Center

Project: Southern Streams Health & Wellness Center
Client: Mary Harvin Transformation Center Community Development

“We are missing the point when we don’t eliminate the blight in our urban communities. It is disconcerting to witness rows of houses with irreparable infrastructure damage and caved roofs not immediately condemned and razed.” — Bishop Donte Hickman

Southern Streams is a five-story, 123,000 sq. ft. health and wellness center for the Broadway East neighborhood of Baltimore City. The design concept includes a new library, health clinic and the corporate headquarters for the Mary Harvin Transformation Center. This office building is more than just bricks and mortar to the neighborhood, it is the centerpiece of a masterplan and represents hope and healing for a neighborhood that has suffered greatly.

Pike 7 Office

Project: Pike 7 Office
Client: Federal Realty

Pike 7 Plaza is an outdoor retail development in Tysons, Virginia, just outside of the Washington beltway. The proposed office space is to be located in an existing two story brick building, currently used as a fitness center, at the rear of the project. The building will be painted and the existing fenestration will be replicated across the facades to provide the office space with abundant natural light. A portion of the lower roof will be converted to a deck accessed from the second floor.

The office building is linked to the retail center through an open air public courtyard space which will be upgraded with new accent paving, landscaping and an overhead framework of lights. The courtyard will provide both casual seating and tables and chairs for adjacent cafes and restaurants and will be an added amenity for the offices.

Maryland State Fair

Project: Grandstand Renovations and Entry Expansion
Client: Maryland State Fair

The Maryland State Fairground is home to Maryland’s largest industry: agriculture. This project started with an overall analysis of the property and identified ways to improve the site wayfinding, site circulation and created an improved sense of place. Our design focused on not just signage but on iconic building elements that signify entry and provide a visible path to the second level venues (OTB, Nick's Seafood and the large event space). The large event space, that can seat 500 people, was identified as a need from within the surrounding community. Events would include graduation ceremonies, proms, receptions, etc. and can adjust to various scales with the proposed design. Creating a stronger identity for the Maryland State Fairgrounds will help increase exposure and help make it a 12 month venue that is more approachable for the surrounding community.

MICA Campus Bookstore

Project: MICA Campus Bookstore
Client: Maryland Institute College of Art

The updated 4,500 sq. ft. MICA campus bookstore was relocated from a different area on the school's campus to be in a more prominent and central location while incorporating a modern design aesthetic to work with existing surroundings. Remodeling for the project includes a sales floor with a rotating art market featuring pieces created by MICA students, faculty, and alumni, as well as local artists unaffiliated with the school. New finishes evoke an industrial feel with a concrete floor product, exposed wood trim, and a cedar soffit on the exterior while larger storefront openings transform the space to increase natural light. Since the bookstore was an existing building, architectural design challenges included modifying large existing trusses and utilizing light and dark paint to direct visual focus to products on the sales floor.

John Eaton Elementary

Project: John Eaton Elementary
Client: District of Columbia Public Schools

Eaton Elementary is a Pre-K through grade 5 school in the Cleveland Park area that consists of a group of existing buildings built between 1910 and 1980. The proposed renovations include renovated entrance, and a 34,000 sf expansion along 33rd Place NW. Placing the new expansion along the north edge allows the building to terrace down towards the neighborhood and allows for an outdoor educational space for the relocated library. Also, the architecture speaks with the historic buildings using similar materials and maintains the historic window pattern and rhythm for the classrooms. The new entrance is a welcoming and inviting gathering space during school events and daily activities. The proposed architecture is minimal with a glass enclosure allowing the façade to fade into the background giving the focus to the activities within. The second level cantilevered floor contains proposed art rooms allowing ample natural light, filtered through ivy screen walls into the creative classrooms.

14th Street Family + Support Housing

Project: 14th Street Family + Support Housing
Client: DC Department of General Services

The design for the temporary + permanent housing provides 50 families with shared places and outdoor connections for a sustainable and resilient facility. Situated on the east lot line along 14th Street, a new public plaza provides an entrance for the existing Recreation Center directly off the street. Covered by the two housing masses above, the plaza provides visible public space with seating, play area, and possible water feature. The housing units on double-loaded corridors and L shape allows daylight and outside air to all units. Two rooftop gardens and the community room are separated from street activity for privacy, with rooftop city views. Concrete slabs and columns are bookended by concrete end walls with grand exterior stairs and overlooks. The structure lends itself well to a panelized wall system made up of pre-fab panels and glazing. The façade speaks in a similar language to the new apartments and condos to provide a dignified DC housing facility.
