This project knits the two existing buildings (City Hall and  Former Supreme Court) and new construction together into a seamless flow of single-, double-, and triple-height spaces. Existing conditions of attenuation are articulated into new extended galleries

The new Roof gallery serves as a loop between the two buildings, with  a translucent roof and walls screened by light fins and scrims. A mechanical plenum is inserted between the roof gallery and the existing building below.

This unbuilt scheme for a LEED Silver project brings an awareness of sustainable issues to the public by way of modeling space and structure, rather than selecting and purchasing approved ‘green’ products. A large-span, pre-engineered structure folds to create: (1) differentiated space within an open plan for separate user groups, (2) North skylights, (3) courtyard, (4) theater/roof space comes to the ground, and (5) low south facing entry threshold.

the owners of a beach house wanted to turn it into a real house – slightly larger and more formal, with a foyer that could be closed off with doors. the plan worked well for them (and their dogs), but they ended up relocating instead of rebuilding.

the existing house is on the left, and the proposed house is on the right
