DESCRIPTION:
FutureOffice is a commercial core & shell project that explores a variety of potential building solutions for an office typology. Six structural options were developed including concrete, steel, steel/timber hybrid, and full mass timber with integrated MEPF systems.
A series of cuts and vertical fins were used on the exterior to break down the scale of the building and provide shading for the curtain wall system.
ROLE/CREDITS:
As Project Architect under the 2018 Wood Innovation grant at MIT, I led the design of the building layouts including the basement parking, ground and office floors, structural grids, mass timber system detailing, and project coordination. Along with Generate’s Director of Design, I also worked closely on the building’s formal massing articulations and exterior facade design. The exterior image renderings are by Forbes Massie and interior renderings were finalized by the Director of Design.
