NEW HARLEM PIER PARK
As part of the urban renewal of Central Harlem, the Harlem Pier Park provides a soft edge to 125th Street, Harlem’s main thoroughfare. The central focus of the park is a pedestrian pier, the first built in NYC in 20 years. The park aimed to provide the residents of Harlem a place to congregate, fish, and boat. Instead, the park was used as a highway for bicyclists and runners between the George Washington Bridge to the North and Riverside Park to the South. In an effort to service both needs, I proposed a new system of piers which supported both pedestrians and park visitors equally.

The final design proposed a hierarchy of movement through the park. A primary pier comprised of a single structural module creates a pathway for pedestrians, runners and bicyclists. This structure supports sec-ondary pathways, performance spaces, and a floating park below.

RIVERFRONT LAB
The Riverfront in downtown St. Louis contains the city’s most historic landmarks. Eads Bridge, Eero Saarinen’s Gateway Arch, and a series of large concrete walls built to contain the Mississippi River define the edges of the Riverfront. My investigation and final design explored how these landmarks frame a pedestrian’s focal point as they traverse the site.

Photographs did not fully capture the fluidity of the Riverfront. Film was used to document how the landmarks frame a pedestrian’s view of the site. The film was organized into three sections to reflect the three main focal points. Editing software was used to overlay multiple textures to emphasize the confluence of different materials.

FARM SCHOOL
Soulard is a neighborhood known for 20th century brick townhouses and large industrial buildings. Motivated by the community’s commitment to supporting local farmers and inspired by the Soulard Farmer’s Market, I designed a Farm School. Farming would be the medium in which students would learn how people interact with their physical environment. The selected site marks the physical boundary between the residential and industrial areas and created a definitive endpoint to an existing stretch of green space.

Greater St. Louis is an amalgamation of small towns and villages. A migration from the urban core during the 60’s and 70’s quickly led to suburban sprawl. The film aimed to capture and present the unique old neighborhoods next to the new banal “cookie cutter” developments. Foundational quotes from innovative and respected architects were overlaid on both neighborhoods. This juxtaposition is meant to reflect the city’s reaction to population growth which abandoned the principles of architecture as thoughtful urban design.

RIVERWALK APARTMENTS
The Riverwalk Apartments were the final two hi-rise apartment buildings in a six-building development on Roosevelt Island, located on the East River between mid-town Manhattan and Queens. The buildings were designed as an alternative to Manhattan real estate for young professionals. I was part of a team responsible for the interior design of the amenity spaces in the condominiums. I designed the mill-work, selected the finishes and arranged thr furniture for the lobby, fitness center, rooftop lounge and apartments. 41

MARQUEE DESIGN
The owner of Club Quarters Hotel wanted to update their marquee design for a series of their hotels. By replacing the existing canvas awnings with a lightweight aluminum construction we were able to create a more durable and modern de-sign. The end product included signage panels with interchangeable finishes hung from enamel painted steel channels. As project manager I was responsible for the design development, the shop drawings, and the construction administration of the marquee.
