Assembly Square in Somerville, Ma is a rapidly growing area in a first suburb of Boston, Ma. Assembly Square is home to some of the only waterfront in Somerville, the second largest park in Somerville, and has direct access to downtown Boston via MBTA. Bridge³ is a designed to create a larger more accessible park by pulling the park over the Orange line and creating a second ground plane under which parking and retail are accessed. The towers are separated in a manner to create views of the Mystic River and Boston, while being connected by three bridge system that hold varying community functions for the development.

Urban TaxonomyOn the left and above is the frame work for the Bridge³ urban development. This shows how the basis of the site was to zone the site by, commercial, residential, and office space. Then came creation of a retail boulevard through the center of the site and secondary axis’ to connect Assembly Square to Draw Seven park. The next three were used to find best view spots from the site to beyond, then studying connections to existing green spaces and how to directly pull Draw Seven into Bridge³ site. Lastly was the implementation of a skewed grid to separate the podium from the ground floor.

Black Stone Performance Center is a visual arts school that is located with in a master plan for an urban block in the Southend of Boston, Ma. The master plan includes retail, residential, and the visual arts school. Black Stone Performance Center is designed to keep the open performance spaces, bottom two floor, separated from the practice studios and workshops, the upper two floors. The upper most floors are then separated by discipline while keeping a common connection of class rooms in the center to be accessible to all disciplines.

Split terrace is a housing project that looks to redefine the way in which people occupy a corner site. Split Terrace is situated in the Mitte district of Berlin, Germany. This corner site was separated diagonally down the center to create a walking path to a retail courtyard that’s main access is on another street. The housing project contains, 6 units starting on the third floor of each building. The first two floors are dedicated to a restaurant and bar. The diagonal walking path is offset from corner to corner to still hold the street edge and be a very present corner with in this urban site plan.

F - Axis house is a live work house that occupies a site with two street fronts and two neighbors. This double program house is the result of a centralized design concept and a reaction to the site. The site proposed the challenge of creating privacy in a site that is enclosed by streets, to the north and south, and other residence, on the east and west. The centralized design is based around three concrete axis walls, connecting in an “F” shape that enter the site to create a private outdoor space. These axis’ are the service space (closets, stairways, and bathrooms) on the interior and help to create this open floor plan

The triple decker is a staple in the urban make up of Boston, Ma. This prototype of a triple decker looks to take the dimensions of an ordinary triple decker and convert it in to a five unit building that contains four different types of units that are up to IBC code standards, two micro-units, a one bedroom ADA accessible unit, a two bedroom unit, and a three bedroom unit. The central driver of this project was to create separation in section to differentiate between public and private spaces, while also being separated by the services of the kitchen and bath room on the inner most part of the building

Boston Common base map


The studies here show the State House as a building over looking the largest park in Boston, the Boston Common. The Boston Common and State House have been a staple in Boston’s history for as long as the city has been around. The State House has been overlooking the common since it was built in 1798, but that doesn’t mean this site was not important before that. The Boston Common had served as a pasture for cows, a rallying point for many rebellions and a central park since Boston was settled by the British.
