For the summer of 2013, the Hersheypark® Entertainment department had planned to construct a simple outdoor stage to house performances by various groups as part of their Talent Quest program. An existing building was designated to function as the dressing rooms and privacy area for the stage. The stage was to be simple and as cost effective as possible, but still have allowed for high visibility to draw in larger crowds to the performances. Additionally, it was to be built in two separate phases to allow for budgetary concerns.

To coincide with the re-imagining of Hershey’s product characters for the summer of 2013, the Hersheypark Entertainment Department proposed a re-imagining of the guest interaction with the park’s mascot performers. Currently, the venues are purely functional as spaces for the performers to change and take breaks. The new vision called for the venues to be themed to each specific product character, and queue lines to be added in the vicinity of each venue. The proposal consisted of recommendations about how to theme the existing structures, how to implement efficient queue lines, and conceptual visions for the themed areas of each venue for the Hershey Bar, Reese’s, and Hershey’s Kiss product characters.

LIFE
Originally built in the late 18th century and transported from its original location, the Maynard-Burgess house is a historic resource in Annapolis which tells the history of the African-American Freedman in pre-Civil War Maryland. KANN Partners was hired by City of Annapolis to restore the building by adressing weatherproofing issues and adding a restroom to allow government offices to be located in the building.

WEATHER STABILIZATION/DETAIL DESIGN
The house employs wood frame construction with lapped wooden siding which dates from 1790 to the modern era.However, high degree of variability and deterioration have produced a low quality of mositure/weather resistance for the building. A complex solution was developed wherein a new moisture envelope would be ‘tilted up’ from the interior of the building. Ultimately, cost and level of complexity resulted in an alternate solution where the current siding would be removed, restored, and replaced, but only after a layer of sheathing and weatherproof matting was applied which would act in conjunction with the historic siding as a rainscreen system.

TO-GETHER
A rest room addition on the southeast corner of the building comprised the second phase of the project. A major design problem was the physical connection of the modern construction to that particular face of the building, which was covered in the oldest siding with the highest level of historic character. A solution was developed where a large percentage of the oldest siding actually stayed in place and was used as the interior dividing wall between the bathroom addition and the office spaces. A series of details had to then be developed to guide the construction of the rest room in a way that would minimize disturbance to the historic material, while simultaneously using architectural reveals to mark the addition as ‘modern’ as opposed to trying to camouflage it among the historic structure.

COMINGTOGETHER
KANN Partners took on the Rutgers Hillel Foundation Building project in January of 2013. The client wanted a new student center on the New Brunswick campus of Rutgers- The State University of New Jersey. Conceptually, the client was trying to meld the conceptual idea of an ‘urban lodge’ with the surrounding context of Tudor and Craftsman style architecture. Also, the building was to welcome pedestrians from the street into an outdoor cafe which would act as a gateway to the building proper.
Programatically, the project included cafe spaces, a library, a large multipurpose hall, and spaces for worship. Several outdoor spaces were also outlined in the program, which were paired with the indoor programmatic spaces to blend the inside and outside together.

RESPONDto a
CHANGING LANDSCAPE
Change in the form of sea level rise was the topic of this studio, and the task was to design an architectural response to an uncertain environment. A site was chosen on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, immediately adjacent to the Chesapeake Bay. The program was designed as a performing arts center, due to the capacity of the performing arts to examine the human condition. Setting this program against the backdrop of a changing landscape encourages the examination of the symbiotic relationship between man and the landscape.

An important aspect of the building that creates a strong relationship between the interior and the exterior is the flexibility of the performance area. While the stage can be closed off and perform to the interior theater space, it can also perform to an exterior amphitheater. By operating a set of large automated doors, the back wall of the stage can be opened in order to create an additional viewing experience on the exterior. To achieve this dual stage, the conventional ‘backstage’ arrangement had to be re-imagined. The proposed design tucks the backstage program between the slope of the theater and the lobby area, allowing it to remain unnoticed by patrons.

BRINGART
Drawing on the various cultural institutions located in the Mount Vernon neighborhood, the program for this building is a community arts center, which makes a place to bring all of these cultural amenities to a broader audience. Programmed spaces include galleries, studios, and public assembly spaces. The proposed design treats the studio spaces as objects and suspends them within the infill volume. This strategy puts more emphasis on the process of creating art as opposed to the product, and invites visitors into the creative process as they move through the building. The ultimate destination of this movement is a roof garden that also functions as outdoor gallery space.

HOMELocated in the Mount Vernon district of Baltimore, the program for this project attempts to cater to the need to house the large population of artists and students in the area. At the ground level of the project are a theater, gallery space, a café, and various small shops which would sell art supplies and materials. Above these shops is a tower consisting of various apartments including studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom units.
On the urban scale, the building frames the adjacent church façade, and uses it as a focal point to create an outdoor room. This room takes the form of a pedestrian throughway across the site, flanked on both sides by rows of shops and the gallery space. The site is also layered vertically with two roof gardens which are able to be occupied, creating a series of public spaces that take users through the site vertically and act as an urban ‘backyard’ for the building’s residents.

NEW
The project site was chosen as an extension of the previous development of a master plan for a new extension of the city of Chestertown, MD. This site is located on one of several large pedestrian through-ways that were designed to link the existing historic downtown with a transit hub situated between the existing town and the planned development.
A design goal of the project was to act both as a literal architectural gateway to the new development, and as a social link between the existing population of Chestertown and the residents of the proposed development. Therefore, a program was created that combined traditional cultural amenities (such as an art gallery and café) with forward-looking ones such as a visual resource center where digital resources can be stored, viewed, and exchanged.
