1200 17TH ST office buildingCOMPLETED 2014
Designed to meet the need for flexible of-fice environments, 1200 17th is a 170,000 SF, 11-story, LEED-Platinum certified building sandwiched between the Central Business District and historic Dupont Circle neighborhoods of Washington, DC. Encouraged by the client to create a memorable building that establishes a new benchmark for future office building development in DC, a richly glazed
terracotta and stainless steel façade, juxtaposed against a modern glass tower, visually links the two distinct neighbor-hoods and reflects the material palette and texture of each environment. The building’s architectural form was inspired by the site’s prominence and geometry, and reflects the combination of orthogo-nal streets and grand diagonal avenues that give the city its distinctive character.
A two-story lobby featuring wood and marble walls and ultra-clear structural glass create a dramatic street presence at the corner of 17th and M Streets NW. The building’s jewel box design features floor-to-ceiling glass and nine-foot-high finished ceilings, enhancing the over-all work environment through abundant natural daylight. A column-free floorplate provides optimal workplace flexibility for professional organizations.
A mixture of intensive and extensive planter beds at
the roof and street level cre-ates a biophilic amenity that encourages both social and
environmental interaction. Planted with native, regional
vegetation, the green roof acts as a natural rainwater
filtration system and greatly reduces the impact on city stormwater infrastructure.

1200 17TH spec suitesCOMPLETED 2015
A pair of 4,000 SF speculative office suites were designed for floors 5 and 6 at 1200 17th Street in Washington, DC. Both suites included an open office plan with transparent perimeter offices and conference rooms, custom reception bench and desks, and an office pantry area. The design stresses client flexibility while maximizing the natural daylighting provided by the floor-to-ceiling windows.

THE COUNCIL tenant fit-outCOMPLETED 2015
Tenant improvement for The Council of Insurance Agents and Brokers (The Council) involved a complete renovation of their 15,000 SF space. Located on the 7th floor of 701 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, DC, with impressive views of the National Archives building and National Mall, the client sought a space that functioned both as a place of business and hosting venue. This was accomplished with a series of event and gathering spaces located towards the front of the space that gradually cascade out towards the larger open office areas.

S P R I N G
BIKE PORThostel
chicago, illinois
Chicago prides itself as being one of the most bike- friendly cities in the nation. However, upon closer investigation, Chicago’s bike network resembles a patchwork of disjointed parts. Chicago is planning a 500-mile bikeway network that will be completed by 2015 and has plans of reaching within one-half mile of every resident and neighborhood in Chica-go. In addition to a bike network that supplements the 2015 plan, the Bike Port provides a Mobility-on- Demand (MOD) bicycle sharing program. This not only encourages bike commuting, but it provides visitors with a convenient way to tour the city. While many view the city through the constraints of a car, Bike Port off ers people the chance to experience the city at a much more intimate and dynamic level.

Situated above Wacker Drive, a major Chicago artery, Bike Port allows vehicular traffi c to fl ow un-impeded while maintaining its function as a hostel and MOD center. Catering to surrounding access points and paths of travel, a system of ramps and bike lanes guide bikers through Bike Port. The form of the building is based off of a simple modu-lar plan. Hostel rooms are concentrated on the exterior, providing natural light and ventilation as well as spectacular views of the Chicago River.

CHICAGO 09architecture of crisis
AUTUMN
Architecture of Crisis was a commentary on the recent suburban housing crisis aff ecting the United States. The exhibition defi ned crisis as a process of transformation or a need for change within the built environment. Based on the future surplus of vacant large-lot homes, it appears that there will be an abundance of material rendered unusable. Focusing on the economic, social and environmental crises resulting from the housing bubble, the exhibition used three materials found in typical wood frame construction- vinyl siding, wood trusses, and asphalt roof shingles- to challenge the potential value of suburban construction. Three suspended boxes served as apertures to frame views within speculative panoramic drawings. Strategically placed binoculars allowed visitors to participate in the panoramas and immerse themselves in the scenes of each story.
ARCHITECTURE OF CRISISi-space exhibition
chicago, illinois
ARTIFACTSBased on naturally occuring wetland phenomena, recycled pre-engineered wood trusses could be assembled together to form fl oating islands. With future water levels forecast to rise, these fl oating islands could be used to reclaim lost land and may be used for agricultural purposes. Vinyl siding could be molded into rainwater collectors and asphalt shingels could become thermal solar collectors.
HAITI 10rubble house
carrefour idantite
AUTUMN
In response to the devastating earthquake that struck Haiti in January 2010, Rubble House focused on four main areas of design: fl exibility, sustainability, structure and ease of construction.
re_think
re_distribute
RUBBLEHaiti is faced with the daunting task of cleaning up mountains of earthquake rubble. By using earthquake rubble to fi ll the gabion walls of the emergency shelter, inhabitants will be using a readily available material that provides thermal mass, privacy, and ventilation. Typically, massive tent cities populate natural disaster areas. Rubble House attempts to more elegantly promote order and provide the most basic needs of water, food and shelter.
RUBBLE HOUSEemergency shelter
port-au-prince, haiti
variation in planThe Rubble House shelter allows for a high degree of fl exibility in the arrangement of spaces. Privacy walls can be added and subtracted in order to meet required needs. For example, sleeping areas for large families, communal gatherings, cooking locations, and temporary restrooms.
re_purpose
SUGARCANEGrown extensively throughout the Dominican Rupublic, sugarcane off ers multiple sustainable benefi ts for Haiti. Sugar cane bagasse ash is generated as a by-product from boilers in sugar and alcohol factories. When mixed with lime and aggregrate, the bagasse ash will produce a type of concrete that can be used in small structures. This ‘canecrete’ is used as a foundation for the gabion walls and provides a fl oor structure.

Rubble House shelter incorporates an integrated structural system to prevent damage from earth-quakes. Cross-bracing alternates between every other gabion wall-frame while tying the system with cross-bracing embedded in the fl oor frame. Additional bracing is located in the privacy walls. This system allows for both lateral and vertical loads seen during an earthquake.

PRE_EARTHQUAKEHaiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemi-sphere. Carrefour is one of the most impoverished and populous districts of Haiti’s capital, Port-Au-Prince. Massive migration from the countryside has led to squatter communities taking up property along the beaches. Relentless population pressure has forced people to use the sea as a dump, creating more land for the slum to expand, while damaging the fi shing industry and economic potential of the beachfront.
CARREFOURreconstruction urban strategy
carrefour, haiti
POST_EARTHQUAKECarrefour was located near the epicenter of the earthquake, causing extensive damage in the coastal slum neighborhoods. A plan was developed to bring economic growth and reconstruction to the coastal area through the use of programmatic piers, new housing developments and an urban farming network.
Coastal development will eliminate slums and provide a new gateway feature into the city.

RECONSTRUCT A STRATEGYMassive overcrowding and natural disaster conditions have crippled the public and private sector’s ability to provide jobs, education and housing. Large pier structures allow for fl exible programmatic stacking of residential, commercial and service units.
MIXED-USE RELIEFConsolidating medical services, housing, commerce, community centers, food production, water storage, and utilites into one area help create support centers during times of need. They will also act as economic catalysts to the beachfront, propelling further investment into the poorest section of the city.
IDANTITEcultural center + poolhouse
carrefour, haiti
Devastated by the loss of its people and its places, Haiti stands on the precipice of losing something more precious- its culture. Culture describes a people more than anything. It stems from history but dissolves and morphs over time. Culture is the backbone DNA of a country’s identity.
In an eff ort to revive public space and Haitian’s cul-tural identity, a complex system of layered and in-terlocking programmatic zones were developed to replace beachfront overtaken by landfi lls and slums. Each zone is a fusion of communal programs that are linked through an integrated urban landscape. The poolhouse and cultural center provide a recre-ational and educational node of social interaction.

Studio 804 has received recognition in countless national and international journals and magazines and has won numerous design awards. The most recently completed project, The Center for Design Research, was featured in the October 2011 issue of Architect, the magazine of the American Institute of Architects. The Center for Design Research has also been awarded an Acknowledgement Prize by the Holcim Foundation for Sustainable Construction.
GALILEO PAVILIONjccc center for sustainability
overland park, kansas
SITE STRATEGYThe design of the site plays a pivotal role in the pedestrian traffi c patterns on the south end of campus. The building is arranged on the site around a courtyard, blending indoors and outdoors with a visual connection between the spaces.
The goals of the Johnson County Community Col-lege Center for Sustainability, combined with the need for additional classrooms at the college, led to a unique opportunity to create an inspired learning space which also serves as an information center for the campus and the community at large. Galileo’s Pavilion, as envisioned, will become a landmark for JCCC’s sustainable initiatives. The building includes two classrooms and a student lounge. It will act as a platform for showcasing, interacting with, and educating both students and the general public about sustainability as well as innovations in design, technology, and construction. Completed in June 2012, Galileo Pavilion is projected as Studio 804’s fi fth LEED Platinum building and third Passive House certifi cation.

GALILEO GARDEN SCULPTUREOriginally situated on the site, Dale Eldred’s vision of the Galileo Garden was restored and implanted into the courtyard of Galileo’s Pavilion. The artist’s inspira-tions were manifested with the integration of science, light and nature at JCCC’s new center for sustainability. As Bruce Hartman, Executive Director of the Nierman Museum, stated in describing the Galileo Garden, “the entire campus is a classroom;” after all, the sculpture commemorates the absolution of Galileo Galilei and accepts the “implicit danger in advocating certainty in matters of scientifi c knowledge.”
HOW IT WORKSFour steel columns suspend a level circular disk, or sight, containing a hole in it. As the months change, the sun shining through the sight hits the ground at diff erent positions tracked by markings on a level nickel-coated steel plate. The rectangu-lar plate is oriented with its length running north and south and has seven line markings running east to west at various distances that indicate the 21st of every month. The light from the sight moves in a fi gure eight on the plate but as long as the lines are oriented east and west the month will remain correct.

SUSTAINABILITYKey design features include the use of passive heating and cooling systems such as thermal mass, broad South exposure, rainwater harvesting, and green roof trays in addition to active systems such as photovoltaics and a wind turbine.
RECLAIMING MATERIALITYThe facade of the pavilion is clad in slate panels made from reclaimed chalkboards. The inherent skin contrast to the surround-ing buildings is key in not only setting apart this individual building, but more importantly, to stake JCCC’s own claim in contemporary and sustainable design.
SLATE RAINSCREENMore than 450 4’x4’ slate chalkboards were salvaged from local school districts and cut into a coursing pattern. Each panel was then screwed to a metal hat channel and metal stud substructure, creating a natural stone rainscreen and eff ectively reusing a piece of historical regional fabric.
