Belleview Multifamily

Architect: Shears Adkins Rockmore

Location: Denver, CO, USA

Project Type: Multifamily Residential

Designed as three intersecting volumes, this 17-story mixed-use luxury residential apartment building includes 251 units with top-end interior finishes and exceptional mountain views. A brick podium, gray stucco tower, and suspended white cube each offer unique unit types for the growing Belleview Station and Tech Center neighborhood.

Project Role:

(SD - CDs) A design architect responsible for summarizing the building’s overall design approach to the district’s design review board. Also responsible for detailing and coordinating the exterior’s prefabricated facade with consultants. A Shears Adkins Rockmore Architects project.

Broadway Park Multifamily

Architect: Shears Adkins Rockmore

Location: Denver, CO, USA

Project Type: Multifamily Residential

A good project that is too timid to be great, this multi-use mid-market apartment building design is one part of an extensive Herbert Bayer and Modernism inspired masterplan. Although competent and safe, this proposal fails to embody the creativity and honesty of the Modern master. Rather than faking past styles with contemporary methods, architecture needs to develop honest expressions that embrace new building methods.

Project Role:

(Concept - SD) Project Manager and Project Architect. Responsibilities included peer benchmarking and program development with the client, planning, massing, schematic unit development, and exterior articulation with a small team. A Shears Adkins Rockmore Architects project.

Providence College Friar Development Center

Architect: Perkins Eastman

Location: Providence, RI, USA

Project Type: Higher Education & Athletics

The Friar Development Center [FDC] brings contemporary design and high-performance to the Providence College campus. The building adds basketball-specific practice, team, and coaching facilities for the NCAA Division I men’s basketball program. The facility also includes a suite of cutting-edge training and sports medicine recovery equipment available to all Division I athletes. The use of glass and solar protection elements provide natural daylight, glare control, views to the outside, and social connectivity within. The FDC will help to improve the training of current athletes and help recruit the College’s future athletes. Beyond Athletics, the FDC creates a destination on campus that captures the unique spirit of Providence College and Friartown: “Us. We. Together. Family. Friars.”

Project Role:

PA & PM (DD, CD, CA). Primary contact to the client, consultants, and general contractor. Coordination leader. Protector of the project’s design intent throughout bidding, submittals, shops, and construction. Designed by Perkins Eastman.

University of Chicago Enrico Fermi Institute

Architect: Perkins Eastman

Location: Chicago, IL, USA

Project Type: Higher Education & Science Labs

The Enrico Fermi Institute [EFI] builds upon a rigorously modern 1964 research building designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. The existing building was gut renovated and used as the base for a two-story vertical addition. The 64,000 gsf project creates a new home for the University’s Theoretical and Experimental Physicists – two interdependent research groups that are now located under the same roof. The challenges of the existing structure’s deep footprint, low floor-to-floor heights, and monolithic concrete construction were overcome through careful programming, mechanical coordination, and new lightweight steel construction.

Project Role:

Designer, Junior Project Architect, Junior Project Manager (Concept Design, SD, DD, CD, Bidding). Designed by Perkins Eastman.

Providence College Student Center

Architect: Perkins Eastman

Location: Providence, RI, USA

Project Type: Higher Education

The new Student Center will dramatically expand and enrich the academic and student support programs of Providence College. At the heart of this project is the brand-new Concourse – a large multi-purpose space which will unite two existing campus buildings by reinventing the existing outdoor space that separates them today. The project aims to rejuvenate an underutilized eyesore, turning it into an indoor street that will serve as the new heart of campus activity.

Project Role:

Project Manager, Project Architect, Technical Designer (SD – DD). Project Ongoing. Designed by Perkins Eastman.
