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.

4. 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.

5. This 500 square foot
pavilion was designed for
clients who wanted to
activate a space otherwise
dedicated to a vehicular
dropoff loop at the ATC
hotel.

6. This 12,700 square foot
childcare facility features
tucked parking and a
sawtooth roof that allows
natural lighting for the
classrooms and
administrative spaces.

7. 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.

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. 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.
Cabin on a Winery's Grounds: Davie County, NC

12. Winery: Davie County, NC
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.

13. 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.

14. 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.
