PIVOT NORTH ARCHITECTURE

PROJECT The Front Street Garage, located on the edge of the Old Boise District is an engaging and inviting visual example of functional urban architecture. The brightly lit building is part of the greater Front Street Development and provides approximately 650 stalls on seven levels replacing an inefficient surface lot and providing future capacity supporting the area’s cultural and redevelopment efforts. The project also includes a pocket park with seven story public art installation (under development) and public plaza.

The project’s design team developed a brightly lit, safe, clean and activated parking structure. The result provides visual excitement for both users and the traveling public through its layering of color, texture and transparency. The post tensioned cast in place concrete structure is left unfinished and cladded with a grid of undulating bi-colored metal fins whose profile provides an ever-changing visual effect whether on foot, or bicycle, or by vehicle.

The surprisingly light appearance of the building is anchored on opposite corners by concrete shrouded stair towers serving as glowing beacons. Vertical movement is accentuated through the gradation of yellow from its dark saturation at the ground floor to its pale and light treatment at the top of the tower. Outboard stair handrails were left minimalistic as viewed through the white perforated skin, while interior guards were treated more substantially to reinforce upward movement. Internal way-finding and floor indicators pay homage to transportation history with wall graphics of local photos depicting modes from trains to circus elephants.

PROJECT EnergySeal Headquarters, located in McCall, Idaho, is a 16,000 sf office and warehouse building designed and built for a high-performance insulation contractor. The goal of the project was to create a modern, ultra-energy efficient building in the harsh climate of Idaho’s central mountains where winters can exceed 10,000 heating degree days (more than Moscow, Russia). Heating such a large space in a cold climate is costly so to reduce long-term operating costs, the facility employs an extremely well-insulated envelope to reduce heating loads

ENTRY #38 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

All structural components were carefully modeled and designed to ensure that thermal bridging was minimized and accounted for in the energy model.

The entire building (11,000 square feet of warehouse and 5,000 square feet of office space) will be certified to meet the PHIUS+ Passive House standard. In addition, the office space is designed to be Net-Zero with renewable energy generated on-site by a façade-mounted PV array. EnergySeal Headquarters is among the most energy-efficient buildings in North America, with a measured energy use intensity (EUI) after the first year of occupancy of 14.85 kBTU/sf/yr before renewable energy production. After the electricity generated by the 14.7 kW solar PV array is accounted for, the EUI becomes 12.0 kBTU/sf/yr, which allows the building to meet the 2030 Challenge 80% reduction from baseline site EUI target.

CONSTRUCTION, MATERIALS & MECHANICAL SYSTEMS

The ultra-efficient building enclosure allowed the building to be heating with a very simple HVAC system. A single 4-ton variable capacity cold-climate air source heat pump serves the entire warehouse space. The office portion of the building is served by a 3-ton heat pump with an integrated intelligent communication system which provides zone control through modulated dampers and smart controllers.

The high-performance wall and roof systems utilized a combination of HFO low-global warming potential (GWP) spray foam and ultra-low embodied energy plant based cellulose insulation composed of 85% paper fiber

The office space is ventilated using an 87% efficient heat recovery ventilator (HRV), controlled by an indoor environmental sensor that modulates the ventilation rate based on real time occupancy and indoor air quality.

ARGYROS PERFORMING ARTS

M I C H A E L D O T Y A S S O C I AT E S , A R C H I T E C T S

PROJECT The Argyros Performing Arts Center, maximizes its location on a narrow 220-foot by 50-foot lot, providing an adaptable state-ofthe-art facility that showcases artists and performers who range from local to international renown. By providing a plaza and numerous views to the interior, the building enlivens the streetscape and invites the public inward. The plaza on Main Street, partially sheltered by the second floor, balcony, and overhang, provides a gathering space for audiences and the public. Steel C-channels not only serve as structure for the overhangs, but also accentuate the horizontal planes of the building, reducing its perceived scale and relating it further to the street. Glass curtain walls visually connect the lobby and plaza. Windows into the theater give passersby glimpses of setups, rehearsals, and performances. The 52-foot by 76-foot theater space includes a ballet-quality sprung wood dance floor and a motor-driven retractable, tiered, seating system that alternately allows for greater audience seating or for an open floor. The theater is outftted with the latest audiovisual technology, including a Meyer Constellation Sound System, a high-resolution projector, and a tension grid system for rigging lighting and drapery. A 30-foot by 30-foot studio on the second floor serves smaller functions, including classes and performances. Its expanses of glazing not only allow the public to glimpse activity within this space, but also showcase the mountain views from within. The design solution models the potential for creating an adaptable high quality.

FIRE STATION 8 BO I S E , I D A H O

PROJECT This new fire station, located at the street edge, commands a strong presence from the road. Despite the site’s limitations, the result is a pedestrian-friendly and durable urban design. The new station reflects the desire of the City of Boise to provide a technically advanced, modern, and sustainably designed station for this location. Station 8 was conceived using the LEED v4 performance metric, as well as follows the City’s Green Building Code sustainable guidelines. Due to the limitations of the site and a desire to provide a more urban design and pedestrian-friendly solution, the two-story building was located at the street edge, resulting in the parking lot being screened by the building and a strong street presence. On the first floor, the station includes three pass-through vehicle bays, individual sleeping rooms with toilet/shower rooms, firefighter work areas, and apparatus support areas. The second floor includes a fitness room, a kitchen/dining area, a day-room, and the exterior patio with barbecue area. Sleeping rooms were located on the main level to increase efficiency of turnout times and for safety of the firefighters. The design for Fire Station 8 is based on direct input from the City of Boise and the local neighborhood and neighborhood association. The project fostered community collaboration, provided a more walkable neighborhood, supported a distinctive community with a strong sense of place featuring a public plaza and public art, repurposed an existing infill site, and adopted compact building patterns, all while emulating sustainable building practices.

SNAKE RIVER GORGE RESIDENCE T WI N F A LLS , I D A H O

PROJECT Located next to the Snake River east of Twin Falls Idaho, this home sits at the edge of an established subdivision. The client had originally owned the adjacent lot further away from the gorge but after failing to get a loan due to the original design’s incompatibility with the local market, the owners spent years saving to build without the bank’s involvement. Years later the adjacent lot at the edge of the gorge became available and the client’s rehired the architect to design an entirely new home for the new lot. The home is designed for a family of four with two young children, the husband and wife are both physicians in the local hospital. The husband is an active daily swimmer and requested a lap pool be part of the new home as well as a large shop for his carpentry and steel working hobbies.

SNAKE RIVER GORGE RESIDENCE T WI N F A LLS , I D A H O

The spectacular site drove much of the layout. The concept for the home was to create an enclosed private entry courtyard that reveals little of the grandeur of the location. The orientation is toward distant views of the river and toward Mt. Harrison. The entry is at a link between wings of the house and the glass door pulls your view through to the axial lap pool and the Snake River waterfall “Twin Falls” in the distance. The two main wings of the house frame the pool with the public spaces on one side and the master suite on the other. The shop building encloses the courtyard giving the home a compound feel. The design needed to balance the client’s interest in architecture with respect for cost. The solution was to simplify much of structure and to highlight the entry and great room spaces with exposed roof structure.

SAGE RESIDENCE K E T CH UM , I D A H O

PROJECT Many family memories will continue to be made on Sage Road in Ketchum, Idaho with the addition of an elegant two-bed-room ski chalet nestled into the bedrock. This new construction has an incredible view of Bald Mountain and is next door to a long time family vacation home. Our clients came to us with an amazing vision as well as a complicated site. The narrow lot rests on a 45 degree slope which presented avalanche challenges. Significant structural advancements define the home’s bold architecture, paving the way for progressive engineering, aesthetics, and function. The home’s impressive cantilevers are achieved through a steel super structure system, CLT and concrete. We enhanced mountain views by pushing the public space upstairs, leaving the entry located on the lower level. This led to designing a stunning staircase featuring a board form concrete wall that is both sculptural and structural.

SAGE RESIDENCE K E T CH UM , I D A H O

Space planning on a small lot proved to be difficult and rewarding. The home is well planned and articulated. By rotating the entire volume to capture Baldy views, we were able to enclose the home with floor to ceiling glass sliding doors connecting to the various outdoor spaces. For a modestly sized home, the outdoor spaces speak volumes. The back patio is anchored by a 22” thick concrete avalanche wall, creating a private entertaining haven with benches made from Kebony, a highly durable, sustainable wood. The high quality materials and design make for a timeless home enabling our clients to continue to enjoy what the mountain lifestyle has to offer in a new, contemporary fashion with their family.

PROJECT The 4,250 square foot 4-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom family retreat is located within a U.S. Forest Service scenic overlay district. The owner requested that the design showcase the unobstructed panorama of the Sawtooth Mountains, respect the sensitive mountain meadow site, be environmentally responsible, use durable exterior materials, be wheelchair accessible, and invite friends and family to connect with each other and the surroundings. Three distinct, yet connected volumes, which parallel the natural contours of the site, comprise the retreat. Separating the volumes integrates interiors and landscape and maximizes views. A fully glazed corridor links, yet punctuates, the two main volumes—that containing public spaces and that containing private spaces. The shed roof pitch matches the view angle to the peaks of the Sawtooth Mountains, allowing clear vistas from the main living areas and bedrooms. A wall that extends from the main house links the recreational equipment storage building. It frames and bounds the entry and forms a partially enclosed courtyard, blurring interior and exterior. Outdoor living areas of differing micro-climates surround and inhabit alcoves between the volumes, allowing comfortable use of outdoor space from spring through fall. Extensive glazing and sliding doors permit near seamlessness between these indoor and outdoor areas. The dining room table, designed by the architect, may be wheeled between the dining room and terrace. A terrace atop the storage building a fords a 360-degree viewing and camping platform. Site-sourced rock gabion retaining walls and native plantings soften the transition between the retreat and the pristine property beyond.

PROJECT Local ranch vernacular and a minimalist concept drove the design of the Big Wood Residence, situated just south of Sun Valley, Idaho. This personal home for the client and his family was designed for living along the river in this mountain valley setting. Minimalism drove the design to reach a clarity of what he and is wife wanted to accomplish. Significantly, the design has a simplicity that belies its complexity. The home consists of the simple shapes of two practical building forms: a two-story agricultural barn form for the living areas, and an engaged flat-roofed structure for the garage, storage, and terrace. Its two floors contain 3,665 square feet of space: living room, kitchen, and master suite on the ground floor, and recreation room and two bedrooms on the second. An all glass entry vestibule is designed to appear like a warm welcoming lantern on a dark night. Two story windows on the east wall let in morning light to the interior of the main gathering area, and a broad window on the western wall offers panoramic views of the aspen forest toward the Big Wood River at the rear of the lot.

PROJECT This house, on a working equestrian ranch, departs from its previous non-descript aesthetic and disjointed layout to provide the owners with a home that integrates indoors with outdoors and rustic with modern. While refurbishment of the existing residence with new finishes, fixtures, and hardware is significant, the new great room addition comprises the most substantial change to the house. With its open plan, this single volume simplifies the circulation and fosters a communal family atmosphere by integrating the main living uses. The previous kitchen and dining room area is now the welcoming entry foyer, which opens directly to the addition, seamlessly connecting old with new. The previous living room has been re-purposed as a new primary guest bedroom suite. The new great room features an 18-foot wide by 10foot tall thermally broken steel lift-and-slide glass door system that stows away into wall cavities when open, blurring separation between in-door and outdoor living areas. Aligning the expansion joints of the interior concrete floor slab and the exterior concrete patio slab further bridges these spaces. The stone fire-place anchors the open plan great room to provide a visual and social focal point. The reclaimed wood clad walls and ceiling, together with the heft, texture, and warmth of the stone contrast and balance the openness and lightness of the glass door system and the coolness of the polished concrete floor. The application of these natural materials to the second-floor level bedrooms brings cohesion and warmth to the entire house.

PIVOT NORTH ARCHITECTURE

PROJECT After countless disparate interventions severely altering the original quality and character, the 1922 Historic Elks Lodge located in downtown Twin Falls, Idaho finally received the comprehensive restoration it deserved. The owner charged the design team to return the timeless appearance while upgrading the building with modern conveniences to attract new long term tenants and returning it to a centerpiece of downtown activity. The result is classic, clean and sophisticated. Existing windows and original openings covered with stucco panels as part of previous renovations were replaced with new energy efficient period appropriate versions. Exterior walls were upgraded to meet current energy codes and interior spaces reimagined to attract new uses. The once dark central marble staircase was refreshed with new lighting and by taking advantage of rediscovered natural light. Interior finishes compliment the architecture while visually layering textures to provide an overall richness appropriate to the building.

The building is now home to a thriving brewery and restaurant, as well as commercial space to help energize the downtown core. The underutilized basement spaces were opened up to the first floor uses to create a daylit event space that spills out onto a lower-level patio. The added height also allowed brewery equipment to become part of the user experience. The upper floor includes a new and modern build to suit office space with a light-filled central lobby.

BLA I N E CO UN T Y , I D A H O

PROJECT The dominant structural and architectural element of KanZan house is the unique layered beam system which not only provides the roof and floor framing but is also the principal form-giver of the architecture. Throughout the history of architecture structural invention or innovation has been a major driving factor. The layered beam system evident in KanZan is no exception. This system of glue-laminated wood beams is not only architecturally unique, it is structurally unique. By layering beams at intervals of five feet on center, four layers of 6 3/4 “ x 12” beams provide a truss-like action which allows for two-way spans of up to 60 feet and overhangs of up to 15 feet. Acting in shear against a through bolt at each five-foot joint, this system acts as a modified Vierendeel truss greatly reducing the depth to span ratio, in this case a reduction of 1/3. More technically, a modified Vierendeel truss is characterized by having only vertical members between the top and bottom chords. Being a statically indeterminate structure, bending, shear and axial capacity of these members will contribute to the resistance to external loads. This is in contrast to a simple truss which utilizes diagonal elements in conjunction with vertical elements between the truss chords to resolve external loads in pure tension and compression only. In scientific terms, this is an elegant and therefore beautiful solution which exhibits not only the aesthetic and thermal advantages of wood but also the structural advantages.
