A site on Valencia Community Coleges Campus was chosen for the Edge and Horizontal project. Located on Lake Horizontal project. Located on Lake Pamela and set to be the future center of the VCC campus. The programs were taken from future development expected to take place on the lake’s edge. They
included a Black-Box theater, a Bat-House, an Arboretum, and an Social Bat-House, an Arboretum, and an Social Center. How the site interacted with the lake was of upmost importance. In the design a sense of ‘tease and
denial’ is present at specific entry points. In addition to the framed views of the lake, the water is further
controlled bu moving through elements controlled bu moving through elements in the design.

The Black-Box Theater isolated and the floor for public spaces.
The path to the Bat-House is a prominent feature, but once inside, a private
space ensues.
Due to the contour of the surrounding landscape, the lake can be seen from the existing building, but upon decending to the new design, it is only visible from selected viewpoints. A series of spaces create a sequence enhancing the ‘tease
and denial.’
