1140 Oregon
AIDAN HALL - Arch 508 Design Build - 2024
Overview
The 1140 Oregon house was designed and built in Spring 2024 by a University of Kansas architecture studio. It was commissioned by Tenants to Homeowners, a local nonprofit organization focused on helping individuals and families with affordable housing. The house was designed using an innovative cross laminated
*All images in this section were created by myself unless otherwise noted timber (CLT) shell, wrapped in a highlyinsulated and air-tight building envelop, and clad with a wood rainscreen. 1140’s high quality building envelop, solar panels, mini-split heat pump, ERV, and usage of wood finishes make it an exemplary study of sustainable building practices for the future.

Usage of CLT
With only 14 students and an 8 week construction schedule, efficiency of construction was a top priority. To meet the deadline, the studio opted to construct the exterior walls and roof using CLT. This eliminated several weeks of framing and decreased the amount of drywall that had to be installed.
Construction Documentation
The construction documents were completed by the studio in Revit. My work included modeling walls, roof panels, casework, and fixtures as well as completing the floor plan and roof plan.

Logo & Studio Identity
To help with fundraising and community outreach efforts a project logo was required. A competition was held within the studio and my design was selected. It is a composite of the house’s appearance, structural material, and the hardworking people who made it possible.

HALL - DIS Arch Studio - 2024
Overview
Refshaleøen is a small island located in Copenhagen’s port.
Used as a shipyard from 1846 to 1996, the island has a distinctly industrial character that includes repurposed factories, stacks of shipping containers, and dry boat storage facilities. Admist the industrial backdrop of Refshaleoen, the site
sits as an undeveloped haven where wildflowers and tall grass grow.
Tasked with designing modular student housing, the shipping container like modules reference the industrial history of the neighboorhood while their organic layout mirrors the natural state of the site.
Community Space
The project begins with the assumption that quality outdoor & community space are essential to student life

Public Pathway
Massing is cut to give pedestrians access to all three zones
Modular Perforation
Negative space left by the modules creates private outdoor space and reduces shadows cast on the community area
CLT Structure
The module’s structure conisists of 5 5-ply cross laminated timber panels. Each panel is CNC cut and assembled in shop for maximum effeciency. The inside face is left exposed to create a warm interior enviornment.
Rainscreen Cladding
The module is cladd in a panelized wood rainscreen system. The panelization improves speed of assembly and offers a natural apperance.
Window Wall
The module’s small footprint enables the entire space to be lit by a single window. Localizing the glazing to one area simplifies assembly and decreases heat loss.
Interior Module
In order to increase the flexibility of the system, the singular exterior module is paired with four interchange interior modules. The interior modules include an accessible living unit, standard living unit, co-working unit, and laundry unit. Each one has the same chase, shaft, and heat pump location, meaning they can be easily substituted as required by project size, location, and

AIDAN HALL - ARCH 209 - 2023
Overview
RIverfront Park in Lawrence, Kansas is a public park that occupies a mile long stretch of the Kaw River. Enviornmental factors allow the park to facilitate a wide range of activities including fishing, running, dog walking, and birdwatching.
The program for this project was to design an open air structure that can accomodate seating four or more people within the confines
of the park. A site directly along the river was chosen as it would have the best views across the water and could effectively capture pedestrian traffic from the pathway that runs parrellel to the river. Its goal is to become a physical extension of the makeshift pathways that visitors have created leading haphazardly to the water and ultimately bring people closer to the river.

The structure is conceptualized as the natural progression of a single path. It is first extruded horizontally and then vertically in order to meet the requirements of its users.

Copenhagen Visual Journal
AIDAN HALL - Personal Project - 2024
Overview
This visual journal serves as documentation of a semester abroad in Copenhagen. Its goal is to capture a wholistic view of my time abroad, depicting buildings, nature, everyday objects, artwork, and friends. The journal was mainly completed in Copenhagen but also includes work from time spent in rural Denmark, France, and the Netherlands. It consists primarily of pencil sketches but also includes experiments in watercolor and acrylic painting.
