nest foundation headquarters

ARCH 301 - William Williams - New York, New York

This project is the New York headquarters for the Nest Foundation, which brings awareness to child abuse through art. The project includes a theater, art galleries, offices, classrooms, and a library. Throughout the project, the focus is the stairs, which become spaces of themselves instead of simply being means to an end. They do this by becoming the theater seats, becoming the gallery space, or becoming a space for two people to meet and talk.

alexandria boathouse

ARCH 202 - Thomas Pollman - Alexandria, VA

This project is designed around a unique program - a boathouse and snow removal substation. With this project, there is a canal created for the rowers to launch their boats away from the current and wakes in the river, as well as creating a public plaza for viewing the races. The snow truck is stored in the front of the building, with easy access to the road and the sand and salt stored above it. The racing sculls are stored at water level, with various offices and gym spaces above.

sliver house

ARCH 401 - Judith Kinnard - Boston, Massachusetts

The challenge of this project lies in its site: a 15' x 50' sliver of space between two existing rowhomes in Boston with required access to the inner-block garden retained on the ground level. With such a narrow space, light access becomes a large issue, so the entire North wall is glass to capture as much light as possible as well as give views to the garden. Furthermore the roof is canted so that when you first enter the steps into the space on the ground level, your eye is immediately drawn to the light and it brings you up into the space, which features utility spaces in the center and living spaces on each end of the 50' sliver.

kensington mobility clinic

ARCH 601 - Lauren Crahan - Kensington, Philadelphia, PA

In a post-industrial neighborhood of Philadelphia where many rowhomes have been demolished, leaving large gaps in the urban fabric, this project attempts to weave the community back together through a physical rehabilitation clinic which focuses on mobility. The large footprint of the project allows patients to exercise without ever leaving the clinic, and the winding pathways begin to bring this demolished community back together.
