The Boys and Girls Club of Greater Lowell includes the renovation and addition to an existing outdated facility. Located within close proximity to downtown Lowell, the new club will include 65,000 sq ft of space. The new design makes a strong connection with the adjacent Clemente Park and the National Historic Park Canal Parkway.

The residence is located on a tight, urban, infill lot in the heart of West Hollywood. The project considers a new strategy for adding density to a single family residence on a substandard building lot. The existing building was re-envisioned for the 21st century. The new design is in keeping with the scale and character of the neighboring buildings. The second story volume is an articulated, faceted volume of white atop the base building rendered in a dark cladding. The form of the building is dictated by the adjacent massing of the neighboring buildings.

The existing structure is clad with a dark cement fiberboard siding detailed in a running bond pattern. The form of the building is dictated by the adjacent massing of the neighboring buildings. The massing of the new addition aligns with the height of the adjacent building to the North and the scale is reduced towards the south. A recessed horizontal band of windows defines the southwest corner and becomes a design feature within the simple faceted volume of white.
