Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts Hingham, Massachusetts

Margulies was my first introduction to how an Architectural firm is operated. As an entry level intern, I learned all the funda-mentals from many excellent mentors.

I was put on the Blue Cross Blue Shield project during the construction administra-tion phase and learned basics of AutoCAD to pick up redlines and create sketches. I also traveled to the site every week to update the construction documents in the remote office, observe construction, create punch lists and answer contractor questions with my colleagues.

Balcony Restoration Boston, Massachusetts

The responsibility of a small renovation and restoration project was given to me by a principal as an introduction to project management. I was the sole contact with the client and proceeded through measuring and drafting the existing conditions, designing the space, hiring the contractor and overseeing construction.

The goal was to restore an interior balcony which had been converted into a walk-in closet. With this project came numerous “surprises” and quickly turned into a structural redesign of the second floor as well as a major modification to the grand staircase. Managing this project came with a great deal of pressure but was very rewarding learning experience.

Brownstone Renovation Boston, Massachusetts

This house was renovated for a client who wished to modernize and personalize their new home. The entire house was gutted and each floor was carefully planned for a specific need. The client was very interested in the design process so it was my task to create both a physical and a computer 3D model to help them better understand and manipulate the space.

Lowell is one example of a “Gateway City”. We are working with engineers to create a historic trolley line through Lowell Common. We have also proposed deciduous tree planting, a basketball court and new pathways to the school.

LOWELL SOUTH COMMON | MASTER PLAN

LAYOUT AND MATERIALS PLAN

UMass is in the process of constructing an Integrated Sciences Center with Architects Goody Clancy. We worked with the client and architects to design a landscape that would be both functional and engaging to the students.

In the southeast side is a botanical garden which the science students will use for in-structional purposes.

In the middle of the landscape is an amphi-theater for student performances.

This new building is also to be the location of graduation ceremonies so ample space has been provided for tents in and around the southern plaza.
