Urban Stacking and Reuse
Location: Greenville, SC
Client: MPeters Group
Size: Mixed Use Residential, Retail, and City Hall @ 150,000 square feet
The existing City Hall building is a 1970’s midcentury modern side core tower which has reached a point that renovations would add value to the asset. Its prime location made it well suited for an urban reposition to bring it up to Class A status while adding 6 new floors, new cladding, energy efficiency, mechanical systems, and beyond. Buildings from bronze classing, travertine stone, and glass have reached their life cycle. The proposal is to define the urban level as sculptural activated pedestrian anchor while the tower was streamlined to express the structural grid clad in new bronze panels and high performance glazing. The ground floor is programmed as lifestyle retail and City Hall functions. The lower 2-5th floors are City Hall Office, and the upper 10 floors (6 being added) are rediential tower floors. The top two floors are penthouse loft style floors expressed as high bay floors to accent and elongate the way to tower touches the sky. The new light filed floors clad with sculptural bronze and glazing frame the Carolinas’ Blue Ridge mountainscape beyond.

THE HUMAN ELEMENT
Meaningful design becomes an expression of a person’s ability to create a bond between its environment, identity, and the community. A well-designed residence starts with the human scale, a space of ones own that becomes an outward expression while also satisfying fundamental functional needs, relationships to the context, place, and broader environment.

Pavilions in a Forest
Location: Orlando, FL
Client: Confidential
The goal of the project was to organize around simple agrarian inspired structures that will blend with the natural site. The 5200sf residence is organized around 4 pavilions situated around and in between exist ing scrub oaks that range between 8”-16” caliper. Steel and glass bridges connect lightly to each pavilion allowing engagement with nature along the daily journey.
Due to tree locations the structures meander through the trees. One pavilion is on a north south axis allowing for a solar ray on the sloped roof to take advantage of the exposure, one on the winter solstice, and one on the east/west rising sun of the equinox. All pavilions have highly buffered walls of ventilated reclaimed cypress and modest openings to buffer the harsh sun. Deep porches create a shaded protected refuge.
The primary structure is Mass Timber walls and roof. This greatly reduces the carbon footprint over CMU, has major durablity and resilience. It also benefits from thermal mass, speed of construction and can be regionally sourced. The structural system is exposed to the interior facade for biophilic impact.

The primary structures celebrate the capture of water through the use of an expressive butterfly roof system. Entry along the valley connects through and axial relationship to the wellness studio set to the east. All pavilions have highly buffered walls of ventilated limestone, IPE, and reflective stucco. Deep porches create a shaded protected refuge.
The primary structure is CMU walls and glulam roof structure are utilized for durablity and resilience. It also benefits from thermal mass, ease of construction and can be regionally sourced. Regional landscaping, crushed shell paths, and natural limestone pavers anchor the project in the context.
