For The Rise in Cupertino, California, landscaping, public amenities, residential and commercial uses, circulation, and views are layered in an innovative manner to create a unique open space environment rich in variety of experiences. The project was driven by several overarching objectives, including clearing an existing mall; integrating the site by breaking it down into pedestrian-friendly blocks; and introducing a dynamic mixed-use environment for neighbors and visitors. The ground level blocks contain a variety of retail, restaurant, and entertainment amenities that face the street and surround multistory integrated parking garages at the centers of the blocks. An undulating roof above reduces the apparent massing of the development.

More than 80 percent of the total site area is covered with this publicly-accessible green roof—a landscaped parkland with sports, recreational, and cultural programs—a significant new urban amenity for the city. The roof meets the ground along the western edge of the site, allowing access directly from the street to recreational paths that follow the roof as it slopes above the buildings. The paths then span above the streets and connect the green roof sections overhead.

Forming a terminus to a row of buildings in The Wharf development of Washington D.C., the Amaris is a mixed-use residential building with a form that maximizes views, allows daylight deep within each residential unit, and creates a recognizable and distinctive form along the Potomac River waterfront. The building overlooks the new M Street Landing Park, The Wharf’s new central public space.

The building mass is comprised of two parts, the tower and podium. The podium consists of the first and second floors and covers the full site, serving as a platform for the rest of the building. A narrow, rectilinear mass positioned on the west side contains levels three through five and completes the base of the building. The podium contains the entrance and retail spaces on the ground floor, residences and amenities on the second and third floors, and residences on the fourth and fifth floors. The tower portion of the building is a curved, eleven-story tall mass positioned over the east side of the podium that houses the bulk of the residential units. The curvilinear, tapering form creates a connection to Maine Avenue and The Wharf harbor with its yachts and speed boats. The curving of the building form opens the mass toward the park.

The largest residences are situated along the north and south ends of the tower, with views of the Potomac River, Washington Monument, and Jefferson Memorial.

13 hr phase time-catcher - a screen that retracts and expands on cycle out of phase with local events, it’s slow movement contrasting with the rapid flow of vehicles, pedestrians, billboard images and weather, bracketing events and so implicating itself in the event-time of times square, more than in its space frame. a figural, analogical incorporation of time, syncopated to the variable and interminable speeds of other flows - an aphasic event. a basketweave frame mounted on an hydraulic lift, it would be the anti-image counterpoint to the numerous flows of times square.

rather than centering a single block building on an interior lot, the program was distributed around a central nature playground, totemic canopies serve as protective figures filtering the classroom blocks, three classes in two blocks separated by an entry / multi-use pavilion. On the short of the internal court is a general assembly / theater building with cafeteria and services areas as a separate complex than can double in the off hours as a community center.
