5151 Butler is a mixed-use renovation project in Pittsburgh's Lawrenceville neighborhood. The design takes its cues from the scale of the surrounding neighborhood's traditional architecture as a 3-story volume with a transparent ground floor. Contemporary design elements were incorporated through materiality and detailing. My role as designer included developing the building's parti, which divides the facade according to proportions of the fenestration of the surrounding architecture and uses them as hinge points to subtly fold and manipulate the facade for a novel contemporary design in a historic context. This project was awarded a 2023 AIA Certificate of Merit.

This project was modeled & rendered using Sketchup, Construction Drawings completed using Autodesk Autocad, and diagrammed using Adobe Creative Suite tools.
