REGIONAL + URBAN DESIGN: Certificate of Merit PROJECT: McKees Rocks Chartiers Avenue Streetscape CLIENT: McKees Rocks CDC ARCHITECTURE FIRM: LGA Partners, LP ENGINEERS: Keystone Structural Engineers; Trans Associates DESCRIPTION: The original Urban Renewal Plan for McKees Rocks in the 1970s prioritized the automobile over the pedestrian, resulting in the disengagement between the pedestrian and the downtown district. This new streetscape plan for the district deemphasizes the automobile traffic, giving a more balanced approach to multiple modes of transportation, returning two-way traffic to the main thoroughfare, narrowing streets, and widening sidewalks where possible. JURY COMMENTS: The opportunity for the same team to revisit their own project 40 years later is rare and this solution shows how the goals, perceptions, and expectations of society change. The current response is well researched and intended to be realized with meticulous detail at the pedestrian scale. This project seems to place a high level of focus on the basic precepts of urban design that are user-based and that will have a tangible effect with an already existing space that needs some reinvigoration as it has matured.

Project by Studio H:T principal in charge Brad Tomecek (now with Tomecek Studio Architecture). This project tests the theory of bringing high quality design to a prefabricated factory setting. Enrolled in the LEED-Home Pilot, this residence completed certification. The modular home was conceived as two boxes that slide above one another to create outdoor living space and a lower covered rear entry. The passive solar design invites large amounts of light from the south while minimizing openings to the east and west. Factory construction saves both time and costs while reducing waste and using a controlled labor force. Built in a factory north of Denver, the home arrived by flatbed truck in two pieces and was craned into place in about 4 hours providing a fast, sustainable, cost effective alternative to traditional homebuilding techniques. Upgraded lighting fixtures, plumbing fixtures, doors, door hardware, windows, tile and bamboo flooring were incorporated into the design. 80% of the residence was completed in the factory in less than 3 weeks and other items were finished on site including the exterior stucco, garage, metal railing and stair. Stack-Slide-Stitch describes the conceptual process of how to tie together two distinct modular boxes. Stack refers to setting one modular directly on top of the other. Slide refers to the action that creates an upper southern deck area while simultaneously providing a covered rear entry area. The stitching or interlocking occurs with the upward extension of the lower volume with the front deck walls and with the rear two story vertical.

This one-of-a-kind abstract, mixed media artwork by critically acclaimed artist, Noel Kassewitz, is ready to hang. Quiet Gravitation is the piece that inspired the artist’s series, "They say hope floats, but I’d rather be sure", through which she hopes to increase awareness about rising sea levels. The value of Kassewitz’s work is supported by its exhibition at international galleries and its inclusion in institutional collections, including the University of Maryland. This work is acrylic on hand-woven canvas with a found buoy and net floats and is framed. Its dimensions, framed, are 26 ¾” x 21” (68cm x 53.3cm). While shown portrait here, the work can also be displayed landscape. In addition, we can facilitate custom framing to complement any interior. This original and unique artwork is delivered with a certificate of authenticity and a bio of the artist.
