The 4600 square foot house accomodates the needs of a couple who desired a modern space to grow their family and entertain guests.

The house respects the fabric of the historic neighborhood by matching the scale and facade line of its neighbors, and utilizing a painted brick common to nearby historic homes.

The client selected an office space that boasted a great location, but was a tight fit for this growing advertising agency.

Szostak Design proposed a mezzanine floor that would provide an additional 1200 square feet of usable space while giving the office a dynamic, open character.

The mezzanine presended significant technical challenges including height constraints, coordination of overhead utilities, compliance with fire codes, and integration with existing structural systems.

Rivers Agency: Chapel Hill, NC

The competition called for a “front porch”--constructed with reused materials--that would provide an outdoor gathering space, storage, and outdoor movie screen for Hope House--a Wake Forest non-profit.

Our winning design echoed the roof and facade lines of the adjacent Hope House, but “dissolved” the front wall so that the character and spatial connection of the front porch could extend through the whole lot.

This dissolved facade is a porous wall, split into two sections that border the porch’s floor on the front and back without forming a full enclosure. These walls are to be built with unused lumber cutoffs from construction sites, so they are in a real sense built from the remnant pieces of a traditional house.

Children's Campus of Chapel Hill

Gregg Museum: Raleigh, NC

The excavated forecourt in this scheme links Hillsborough Street to a newly uncovered entry facade and leads to a grand lobby in the basement of NC State University’s old chancellor’s residence.

The entry axis continues to a sculpture garden with views that extend into the wooded corridor behind.

The house remains the central volume of the scheme. Gallery and support spaces form concrete and channel glass wings, and an upper gallery expresses itself in a raised roof.

The program and design for this project respond to social conditions in the Medina of Fez, where women often find themselves at difficult crossroads in a social structure that is still modernizing.

Access to this courtyard compound is mediated through the entrance to the hammam, an Islamic bath house that has traditionally been one of the only places for women to socialize outside of the home.

Important spaces in this compound include temporary housing, counseling offices, assembly rooms, job training classrooms, workshops, a public craft market, and a traditional bakery that utilizes heat from the hammam’s furnace.

Light wells illuminate the communal bathing spaces of the hammam, and act as seating on the roof terrace above, where a rare quiet outdoor space can be enjoyed.

Electric Car Dealership: Raleigh, NC

This building takes on an unusual shape because of how the rails and the automobile reshaped the site over the past century.

With this project, the site receives a new layer of transportation technology that may help us shape our future environment with more foresight.

The larger volume holds the facade edge of the adjacent block, while the smaller volume holds to its own street edge to extend into pedestrian sight lines.

Transparency of facade is important for the function of the showroom, while the sun shading system is essential in keeping with the sustainable spirit of the electric car.

This cabin was conceived as the final threshold in a journey from the social realm to the solitary.

The front porch acts like the settling tank in the wine making process, providing a place for social activity to play out and settle down before the individual takes the narrow slide into the solitude of the sleeping quarters.

Wine, at its best, reveals the essence of the place where it was grown and aged.

This winery occupies the threshold where the heart of the vineyard is revealed to the visitor.

Urban Land Institute Student Urban Design Competition:Seattle, WA

The 2011 ULI Urban Design Competition posed the challenge of turning a derelict suburban site into a useful piece of urban fabric.

Our team’s proposal extended the Olmsted green belt, and integrated small retailers into a site currently dominated by big box stores.

This proposal won third place in a local AIA jury.

The Wallflower Lamp

This lamp sits well in a corner, and can be used at a desk without taking up any surface space.

It is especially accomodating to old houses, where uneven floors might might normally cause floor lamps to sit at conspicuous angles.

The lamp was styled to fit with some floral prints we had on display in the room. The body is constructed of six pieces of wood which curve in three different planes.
