During my Internship at Spillman Farmer Architects, I was given the opportunity to lead the design of a charter school in Easton, PA. I was given a parti sketch, and told to take control of the remainder of the design. With one week to put a presentation together, I designed, modeled, and rendered a proposal for Strong Foundation Charter School.

 

The design is inspired by the local landscapes. The Delaware River passes through Easton, forming rocky outcrops along its banks. The mass of the structure reflects this through it large solid cores standing firmly aside the dynamic glassy voids.  The glazing system incorporates a deep mullion system to control northern light while allowing the hallways to display activity within. 

 

Upon returning to school, I was honored to learn that the design had been selected from all proposed projects to become the future home of Strong Foundation Charter School. While the final built form may not be the same, I am honored to have helped earn the project bid for Spillman Farmer.
