My design in the works ...

From South Street looking towards Pearl Street

North Elevation

South Elevation

"Denver Art Museum" served as my inspiration


Sketch evolution of my Toy Building ...

Simple elevation of triangle pieces being placed together at random.

Was playing with scale and trying to get views such as another elevation and plan ...

You could say from this point on I started forming my building. I was thinking a bird-like structure where the "bird" is resting by the river.

From the inside as you walk in the South Street part. Cafeteria will be above and stations possibly on the bottom. Glass will be used as well.

Study Model 2.0 ...


Here is my study model for the Manhattan site (Peck Slip) area. I was playing with triangular pieces and givng the structure a "puzzle-like" form.

From a perspective view point, you are standing closer to South Street looking towards Pearl St.


The north side walls have the puzzle look but I want to give it more of a triangular form. To me, it looks a little too flat and solid.

A small peek inside. This area will be split into two floors with the second connecting towards the private building.

What I liked about the walk-way connecting the two structures is that it will be made of glass. The gallery will be situated here, giving the occupant something to look at as they cross.
