The project was to optimize views of the water while maintaining privacy, creating sizable outdoor living spaces that respect the close proximity of neighbors, and creating a clear sense of separation between the public and private spaces of the house despite the compact footprint allowable on the site. The house is sited to take full advantage of the relationship to the bay, with a primary view and circulation axis that is directly aligned through the shoreline reeds to the water. The house is organized via two perpendicular volumes that intersect to provide a clear sense of movement to the water. The low single-story pavilion houses the public functions of the house and provides direct access to the outdoors, while the two-story copper volume contains the private spaces which are oriented to provide framed views out to the bay.<\/p>\n

JURY COMMENTS: <\/strong>This project has a\u00a0great plan, arranged in two overlapping volumes that intersect and clearly define the axial relationship to the bay.\u00a0 It is outstanding in plan, section, and detail.\u00a0 The window placement and angles take advantage of the site\u2019s sweeping panoramas of the Peconic Bay.\u00a0 We appreciate the choice of warm exterior materials that will age nicely with the landscape.\u00a0 The exquisite detailing throughout shows the agility of the designer and it is a design that takes full advantage of a beautiful site.\u00a0 There is no retreat that we\u2019d rather spend a weekend in.<\/p>\n

On August 18, 2015, Western Pennsylvania lost one of its most iconic buildings \u2013 Century Inn \u2013 to a fire which began in a mechanical room. The inn, which had been operating since 1788 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, had been visited by notable figures like Andrew Jackson, Marquis de Lafayette, and Abraham Lincoln. Over the next 2-1\/2 years, the Owners worked with a dedicated team of Architect, contractor, and local craftsmen, to restore the inn to its former glory. Reopened in April 2018, Century Inn now features its existing stone walls and hand-hewn heavy timber ceilings as well as replicated windows, made of historical glass, on its first-floor facade. The inn also features nine guest rooms, updated fire, and safety systems, a chef\u2019s table in a room adjacent to the state-of-the-art kitchen, four separate historic dining rooms, a tavern, and an outdoor gazebo.<\/p>\n

JURY COMMENTS:\u00a0<\/strong>This is a perfectly executed restoration of a building on the National Register of Historic Places. The new addition successfully compliments the historic stone inn. The attentive detailing was the key to restoring the inn to its former glory. We applaud the difficult task of salvaging badly damaged original materials. This is a landmark for Post-Colonial Western Pennsylvania architecture that now has a better opportunity to welcome many more generations. The drawings demonstrate a mastery of historic detailing. Don\u2019t underestimate the value of this type of drawing in future submittals.<\/p>\n

Creating a new front entry for the School of Medicine, the new two-story student lounge responds to the historic bones of the 1956 Scaife Hall Building. A variety of renovated interior spaces, including replacing the 1950s escalators with an open, light and airy staircase that promotes wellness and reduces energy and annual maintenance costs, an interactive multi-media display, the new student lounge, and caf\u00e9 and admissions office, creates an active social hub for the School.<\/p>\n

JURY COMMENTS:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>This project creates a significant moment of entry in a relatively flat and regular fa\u00e7ade. It is an iconic, well-scaled intervention while respecting the historic limestone fa\u00e7ade. The vertical rhythm of the sunshades responds well to the existing vertical windows while introducing a new dynamic geometry. The beautiful detailing of the perforated aluminum fa\u00e7ade intervention is a great addition of natural light for the interior while mitigating solar heat gain and glare with the calibrated sun shading system.<\/p>\n

Brought to life by its students and faculty, the new middle school gives educators the right tool to prepare students for the next phase of their secondary education. The design is organized into small learning communities that allow educators to embrace multi-disciplinary collaboration and create an entirely new paradigm for students. Applied engineering programs, fine arts, and family & consumer sciences once located down back halls and out of the ebb and flow now live in the central core of the facility. Greater transparency exposes students to the district\u2019s unique educational offerings and encourages enrollment in maker-based programs that are the cornerstone of the district\u2019s emphasis on project-based learning.<\/p>\n

JURY COMMENTS:\u00a0<\/strong>The jury recognizes this project in particular for the design of the Student Commons, and more specifically, the wall. The wall is a very creative and dynamic use of acoustic wall panels. It achieves the goal of using space to impact learning and spark inspiration. This is an excellent design that would have been superb if the wall patterns would change from floor to floor, rather than just the colors. The exterior massing is interesting and we appreciate the inclusive visioning and planning process described, with a wide range of stakeholders. The architects have created a learner-centered environment that fuels curiosity and discovery.<\/p>\n

REACH is a mass-produced, mobile classroom for a local non-profit specializing in humanitarian computer outreach. The REACH cart is deployed to Carnegie Library locations throughout the greater Pittsburgh region to facilitate computer literacy courses targeting low-income and elderly residents. Housing all of the equipment needed for the classes, the REACH cart is essentially a classroom in a box, allowing any space larger than 9 feet by 18 feet to be quickly turned into a learning center for eight students.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

JURY COMMENTS:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>REACH provides low-income and elderly residents in the Pittsburgh region with basic computer skills. The design of the cart is predicated on requirements of function, accessibility, and aesthetics. This project has great prototyping and branding. It\u2019s often hard to figure stuff like this out and this project fits a lot into one box and is scalable. It is a great reuse of existing materials and is extremely well presented with excellent graphics.<\/p>\n

OV COURSE is an initiative seeking to address issues of food access, entrepreneurship\/economic opportunity, and community interaction in Pittsburgh through the design, production, and implementation of pre-fabricated, mass-produced community ovens for the baking of bread and pizza. As a strategic intervention into an existing context, OV COURSE aspires to increase access to healthy, affordable food for individuals in under-represented communities in Pittsburgh 1) directly by serving as a new source for food and 2) indirectly by facilitating job skills training and entrepreneurship opportunities that elevate one\u2019s prospects for building wealth. Additionally, OV COURSE aspires to take advantage of the opportunity to enhance community interaction and pride through the creation of place-specific spaces centered on the act of breaking bread.<\/p>\n

JURY COMMENTS:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>This project uses architecture and design to fill an extremely important need of providing food for individuals in under-represented communities. It aspires to take advantage of the opportunity to enhance community interaction and pride through the creation of place-specific spaces centered on the act of breaking bread. The unction of the oven and ergonomics of using it is represented in an interesting form. It\u2019s both fun and functional. Furthering the connection to the Pittsburgh community, materials incorporated into the ovens are sourced from regional deconstruction projects.<\/p>\n

    An existing garage along the edge of the woods had been previously utilized as a design studio for the summer programs at High Meadow. The small size limited the program\u2019s capacity while the lack of natural daylight, views, and ventilation left the students disconnected from the adjacent meadow. The design team was challenged to create a new seasonal studio that would double the existing space, adding a fabrication shop, review space, storage, support services, a covered outdoor work area, and most importantly, a strong connection to the natural surroundings. Instead of demolishing the aging garage structure, the team leveraged the resources of the existing building, re-skinning it and re-purposing it, and adding a studio pavilion which extends into the woods behind the existing structure, positioned strategically between the mature trees, leaving the forest edge intact.<\/p>\n

    JURY COMMENTS:\u00a0<\/strong>This project is faithful to its function, the studio complements its rural setting with modest form, efficient materials, and honest details. It has made a big impact on a small budget and is an innovative reuse of the existing garage. The drawings are fantastic and elegant.\u00a0\u00a0We appreciate the roof vents that draw cool air from the forest floor across the studio through operable panels below the full-length pin-up wall. The construction is simple and straightforward construction that is appropriate to the site and use.<\/p>\n
