Headlands Center for the Arts
Entry with Minor Modifications, Building 960
Headlands Center for the Arts, Sausalito, California This project has restored Building 960, one of the historic buildings in the site, of approximately 11,500 sq.ft. of floor area to accommodate artists' studios, spaces for installation arts, a kitchen and a new deck in the rear with a magnificent view. Historical memories are incorporated in the design. Old elevator shafts are utilized as light wells. Due to the restrictions for preservation of the historical architecture, only minor changes have been made to the exterior. Working with Jennifer Dowley, the first Executive Director with a great vision about this place, and a representative from the National Park Services, we developed the design. The majority of metal work inside are by Leonard Hunter, a sculptor and a founding Board Member. He and Mark Cavagnero, architect and a later Board Member completed the project. We have also helped the Center develop a major landscape plan around the main buildings Building 944 and 945 as well as improvement of interior of Building 945.

Novato Charter School KG Outdoor Classroom
Existing View
Novato Charter School Kindergarten Outdoor Classroom, Novato Novato Charter School is a public school, K-to-9, using Waldorf approach in education. The school wanted to build a covered deck used as an outdoor classroom for the kindergarten children. The proposed design is first based on a series of normal pre-design analysis: its location within the entire campus, circulation, wind and solar orientation; access to/from the classrooms, protection from the rain and UV from the Sun. However, most unique aspect of this design is that its spirit, the heart of design, so to speak, is based on the philosophy of Rudolf Steiner, founder of Waldorf education. I was particularly interested in his emphasis on the significance of children's creativity, imagination and wonder of their surrounding world which they explore. The proposal includes an organic undulating plan that fits the location and provides various nooks, seats, a tunnel, a planters to stimulate children's imagination; treated canvas cover (fire resistant) that protects this outdoor classroom from rain and UV. is also designed to allow maximum participation from parents and students during construction. It can be easily modified later by human hands and simple tools without using large machineries. Because of the nature of materials and construction methods chosen, unlike many of modern buildings, particularly prefabricated buildings, the resulting architectural form of this outdoor classroom cannot be precisely pre-determined. Rather it is a natural outcome of an execution of the construction process. The form in fact will continue to change after the major construction finishes and users begin to use this place, very much like a living organism. This design and construction approach is consistent with Steiner’s philosophy.
