River Trail Visitor Center
Northwest River Trail Visitor Center & Services Building
Columbia, Pennsylvania, USA, 2014
Interior design services for the NW River Trail Services Building on the shore of the Susquehanna River and the base of the Columbia-Wrightsville Bridge. Columbia Borough’s Northwest River Trail Services Building was under construction in early 2014 when Chris Dawson Architect was contacted to redesign the interior of the building to make it more inviting, welcoming, and functional. The building will be a centerpiece of Riverfront Park and the Borough’s River District which is a recreational hub for the community. Our design concentrates the support functions (restrooms, warming kitchen/cafe, mechanical rooms, etc.) in the north pavilion thereby creating a multi-use flexible event space in the south pavilion to be used for educational programs, meetings, and receptions. The interior upgrades worked off the building shell with stone perimeter walls, extensive clerestory windows, and wood millwork while opening up views to the Susquehanna River beyond. Our changes made the building within the community’s most treasured resource more functional, allows the borough to generate revenue, and makes the structure visually lighter.Built: 2014

Residential Complex Brno-Hady
Diploma Thesis, grade A with honors: The transformation of the periphery area Hady-Korea in Brno - alternative urban
Brno, Czech Republic, 2013
The diploma thesis deals with the transformation of the periphery area Hády-Korea in Brno into an alternative housing. The objective of the thesis was to create an urban-architectural design of the suburban area characterized by an upper-middle-class standard of the residential functions. Intended area is located in the middle of the greenery strip which passes through a large area of the city. This strip is surrounded by the important city districts – Malomerice, Lisen, Vinohrady and Zidenice. Urban concept is based on this knowledge and on two mutually perpendicular axis. First axis is the axis of the greenery strip and it passes through a city landmark - transmission tower Hady. Second axis indicates the direction of the development of the city districts. Area design is based on the transcription of the typical city block and its principles into a suburban character and scale. Important aspect of the design is a clear definition of the borders between public, semi-public and private spaces. -
House 44
Bachelor Thesis, grade A: House 44
Razova, Czech Republic, 2010
House 44 – house for four – is located in the southern part of Razova village, Bruntal County. Objective of the thesis was to create a minimalist family house for a family of four that met modern living needs and requirements. The house is designed as a single-storey house, without basement, and with a flat roof. Appearance of the house is different from the other local houses but it retains typical local rectangular form longitudinally oriented to the street. Design of the house is fully based on the dispositional solution, which is placed maximum emphasis on simplicity, clarity, and interconnection between exterior and interior. -

Gymnastics Center
Ostrava, Czech Republic, 2011
Objective of the project was to design a sports facility with gymnastics training center and multifunctional hall for the events with a capacity of 1500 - 2000 spectators. Architectural form is affected by local urban structure. It is an imaginery "bolt" which connects three different local urban structures. In addition, form follows axial composition of the entire sports complex. Floorplans were designed to provide maximal variability. Multifunctional hall can operate independently of the training center. Furthermore, designed tunnel allows athletes to use multifunctional hall as a warm-up area for the adjacent stadium. -
