Community Overview Homelessness is defined as the lack of a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence. In Kansas City, homelessness is concentrated in Midtown and Downtown, particularly near Main Street and Linwood Boulevard. In 2024, the Greater Kansas City Coalition to End Homelessness (GKCCEH) recorded over 2,200 individuals experiencing homelessness on any given night, with 95.7% of chronically homeless individuals unsheltered. The Kansas City Public Schools (KCPS) identified approximately 1,200 youth as unhoused during the school year.

Conclusion - Comparative Analysis

The Bridge Pros - Clear progression of public > private thresholds supports dignity in recovery. - Semi-private courtyards and dining reinforce collective ownership (Newman: defensible space). - Services and personal care facilities allow boundary regulation (Altman) for gradual reintegration. Cons - Dormitory housing risks crowding and limited personal control. - Strong staff/admin oversight may reduce resident autonomy.

Star Apartments Pros - Vertical neighborhood model integrates housing with civic amenities. - Modular units ensure high territorial control and personal privacy. - Semi-public terraces and corridors encourage flexible interaction choices (Altman). Cons - Open-air corridors risk noise and exposure for nearby units. - Vertical circulation can limit accessibility for the wider community.

Lessons Learned The Bridge - excels at creating layered thresholds for dignity, but communal housing limits autonomy. Star Apartments - excels at privacy and territorial control, but risks isolating residents vertically. A resilient urban dwelling model might combine both: Layered thresholds (Bridge) Modular privacy and territorial control (Star) Housing that balances community engagement with individual dignity. Both case studies demonstrate how design mediates privacy, personal space, and territoriality, while circulation patterns shape integration and segregation of residents within the community.

Massing Development in the Kansas City Context The massing strategy was shaped using a detailed 3D reconstruction of the site and surrounding blocks in Kansas City, MO. By modeling the neighborhood topography, building heights, transit corridors, and circulation patterns, each massing step could be evaluated against real environmental and urban conditions. This process revealed how solar exposure, prevailing winds, street activity, and adjacent structures influence form, orientation, and courtyard performance. The resulting sequence reflects a design rooted in contextual responsiveness—balancing density, daylight, and community space within an authentic Kansas City urban fabric.

Concept Statement “Housing as Connected Community”

Design Problem Statement

The design is grounded in the belief that supportive housing must promote dignity, independence, and belonging while responding to the complexities of contemporary urban living. The concept begins with the users—individuals and families seeking stable, affordable homes that balance privacy with opportunities for connection. Their daily routines, comfort needs, cultural practices, and safety concerns directly shape the spatial organization of the project, informing everything from unit layouts to circulation paths and shared amenities.

The project addresses the urgent need for inclusive, affordable urban dwelling solutions that respond to user needs, regulatory requirements, and environmental constraints. The challenge is to create a housing development that balances privacy with community interaction, integrates accessible design principles, and harnesses site-specific environmental opportunities while meeting the spatial requirements of a multistory residential program.

The site, positioned within a dense urban context, becomes an armature for connection. Its edges interface with active streets while the interior massing creates protected communal spaces, encouraging residents to move fluidly between private, semi-private, and public environments. The building’s L-shaped form frames a central open space, enhancing security, visibility, and social cohesion while optimizing natural light, ventilation, and environmental performance. Architecturally, the project synthesizes social, contextual, and ecological factors into a clear structural and spatial system. A rational column-and-slab structure supports modular housing units, promoting construction efficiency and long-term adaptability. Views, daylighting, and cross-ventilation drive the arrangement of living areas and balconies, while shading devices, green roofs, and rainwater management strategies reinforce sustainable performance.

Design Objective - Support user well-being through safe, adaptable, and privacy-conscious unit layouts. - Strengthen community by creating gradients of shared and semi-private spaces oriented around a central courtyard. - Optimize site conditions by shaping massing around daylight, wind, and urban connectivity.

Accessibility and universal design are integral—not additive—components of the concept. Circulation systems, unit layouts, and shared amenity spaces all incorporate ADA principles to ensure equitable use for residents of varying ages and abilities. Safety, comfort, and clarity guide the design of egress paths, corridors, and thresholds throughout the building.

- Integrate ecological systems including green roofs, shading strategies, and rainwater harvesting.

Ultimately, the project positions housing not as a collection of units, but as a layered system of relationships—between residents, between built form and environment, and between the building and its surrounding neighborhood. The design aspires to create a resilient, humane, and connected living environment that supports stability, fosters community, and provides a dignified home for diverse occupants.

- Deliver structural clarity via a repeatable concrete grid system that supports modular housing units.

Tree Selection & Placement

Stormwater Reduction (2025)

Two Swamp White Oaks (Quercus bicolor) were selected and placed within the central courtyard of the proposed development. This species is widely recommended for Kansas City due to its high heat tolerance, excellent stormwater interception, and long-term carbon sequestration capacity. The courtyard location provides ideal full-sun exposure and positions the trees to offer both microclimate benefits and pedestrian comfort, enhancing the usability of exterior spaces throughout the year.

Current-Year Environmental Benefits (2025)

The two oaks intercept: - 1,479 gallons of rainfall, - Preventing approximately 145 gallons of stormwater runoff at the source. This benefit helps counteract runoff from paved surfaces and supports healthier site hydrology.

Carbon Sequestration (2025) According to i-Tree Design results, the two newly planted oaks provide an estimated: $27 in combined annual environmental benefits, including: - Stormwater interception: 21.50 gallons - Air quality improvements: $1.30 worth of pollutant removal - Carbon sequestration: 4.18 lbs of CO2 absorbed The trees help reduce heat, filter pollutants, and begin establishing shade that will increase as they mature.

This year, the trees will: - Reduce atmospheric CO2 by 364 lbs, - Already stored 2,958 lbs (projected cumulative sequestration estimate). This aligns with long-term carbon reduction initiatives and supports community climate goals. 1.8 Ecological Analysis

SC 5.5 Ecological Concerns and Consider Measurable Environmental Impacts

Future-Year Environmental Benefits (2045)

After 20 years of growth, the two mature oaks are expected to provide: - $63 in annual environmental benefits, consisting of: - 46.14 gallons of stormwater reduction - $3.52 of air quality improvements - 13.21 lbs of CO2 removal annually This represents more than double the annual benefit compared to year one.

Carbon Sequestration (2045)

In 20 years, these oaks will: - Reduce atmospheric CO2 by 782 lbs per year Store a significantly greater cumulative amount over the tree’s lifespan, contributing to long-term carbon reduction goals. Energy-Related Benefits

Stormwater Reduction (2045)

By year 2045, the two oaks will: Intercept 4,021 gallons of rainfall per year, And prevent 394 gallons of stormwater runoff. This makes the courtyard a high-performing green infrastructure zone. 1.8 Ecological Analysis

While detailed shading/energy savings could not be calculated due to mapping limitations, the placement of two large deciduous trees will: - Provide cooling shade to reduce heat island effects in summer - Allow sunlight penetration in winter after leaf drop - Contribute to more comfortable microclimates within the courtyard circulation areas These qualitative benefits support the building’s passive design strategies already shown in the solar analysis section. SC 5.5 Ecological Concerns and Consider Measurable Environmental Impacts

Baseline Condition Summary The existing site is overwhelmingly dominated by impervious surfaces, with approximately 91% impervious coverage (asphalt + rooftops). The remaining 9% consists primarily of narrow lawn strips with minimal ecological function. The dominance of hardscape leads to high runoff, low infiltration, and no integrated green infrastructure.

iTree Summary The i-Tree Design analysis reinforces the environmental value of integrating large canopy trees into the courtyard. Even with only two Swamp White Oaks, the site realizes measurable gains in stormwater control, carbon sequestration, air quality improvement, and long-term ecological resilience. As the trees mature, their annual benefits more than double, demonstrating how strategic landscape design contributes significantly to sustainability goals and enhances the comfort and performance of the overall development. Only two trees were modeled due to platform limitations, but the selected species and placement represent the intended canopy strategy for full build-out. 1.8 Ecological Analysis

Key Takeaway: Stormwater modeling confirms that runoff at the existing site is excessively high due to impervious coverage and compacted soils. After redesign, the number of fully retained wet days more than doubles, annual runoff is reduced by 21.6%, and both infiltration and evaporation significantly increase. These improvements result directly from the introduction of LID systems—green roofs, permeable paving, street planters, and rain gardens—applied systematically across the development.

SC 5.5 Ecological Concerns and Consider Measurable Environmental Impacts

Baseline Stormwater Performance

AFTER Design Performance

Today, the site receives 35.45 in. of annual rainfall, of which 30.33 in. becomes runoff—an 85.6% runoff rate. Only 14.7% of wet days retain any rainfall at all.

The proposed plan introduces green roofs, permeable paving, rain gardens, street planters, and rainwater harvesting. These interventions dramatically shift site hydrology:

The site’s clay-loam soils already infiltrate slowly, but the larger issue is the site’s asphalt-dominated surface, which prevents water from soaking into the ground.

- Annual runoff decreases from 30.33 in. to 23.79 in. (21.6% reduction)

Baseline Pie Chart Interpretation:

- Fully retained wet days increase from 14.7% to 29.39%

- Runoff (Teal): Overwhelmingly dominant due to nearly continuous asphalt and building roofs.

- Maximum rainfall retained increases from 0.56 in. to 0.78 in.

- Infiltration (Light Green): Severely limited due to soil conditions + impermeable surfaces. - Evaporation (Orange): Minimal because vegetation is sparse and fragmented. Stormwater discharge is extremely high, ecological function is low, and the existing landscape offers no meaningful stormwater retention value.

Proposed Pie Chart Interpretation: - Runoff decreases significantly, reflecting added permeability. - Infiltration increases, supported by vegetated + permeable surfaces. - Evaporation increases, due to the expanded green roof and landscape systems. The redesigned site performs more than twice as well hydrologically, confirming a strong ecological benefit.

Integrated Green Roof + PV System & Stormwater Strategy

Biosolar PV + Sedum Green Roof (Non-Walkable / Utility Roof)

The project combines walkable intensive green roofs with a biosolar PV green-roof system to improve building performance, enhance resident experience, and integrate seamlessly with the rainwater harvesting and cistern network. The concrete structural frame allows for deeper soil profiles, water-storage layers, and non-penetrating PV foundations.

Purpose To increase PV efficiency while providing a lightweight vegetated roof that retains water and cools the roof surface.

Intensive Walkable Green Roof (Amenity Roof) System: ZinCo Roof Garden System with Floradrain® FD 60 neo Purpose A multifunctional rooftop landscape designed for walking, seating, gathering, and small resident garden plots. Layer Functions Vegetation + Deep Growing Medium (8–12”) Supports shrubs, native plants, and small food-garden beds. Filter Sheet Prevents fine particles from clogging drainage layer. Floradrain® FD 60 neo (Water-Retention + Drainage Layer) Stores stormwater, promotes capillary irrigation, and controls overflow to roof drains. Protection Mat + Root Barrier Protects membrane and prevents root penetration. Waterproofing Membrane (Root-Resistant) Primary building envelope protection. Concrete Deck Structural support for amenity use and planters. Benefits - Walkable + furniture-supporting surface - High stormwater retention to reduce potable irrigation demand Enhanced resident comfort and rooftop microclimate Overflow drains feed directly into the 25,000-gallon cistern

System: ZinCo Solarvert System with Solar Base SB 200

Layer Functions - Sedum Vegetation Layer - Low-maintenance cooling and biodiversity support. - Extensive Substrate + Filter Layer - Lightweight soil and sheet assembly for water retention. - Fixodrain® / Drainage Layer - Provides water retention and controlled drainage. - Solar Base SB 200 (Ballasted Mounting) - Holds PV frames using the weight of the green roof—no membrane penetrations. - Root-Resistant Waterproofing + Concrete Deck Benefits - Cooler roof surface increases PV output - No penetrations in roof membrane - Vegetation reduces heat-island effect - Runoff routed to cistern for reuse

System Integration with Rainwater Harvesting Both green roof systems retain water and slow runoff. Controlled overflow directs excess stormwater into the building’s downspout network. Downspouts convey water to the 25,000-gallon below-grade cistern. Stored water is treated and reused for: - Courtyard and landscape irrigation - Green roof supplemental irrigation - Toilet flushing in residential units During major storms, overflow safely connects to the municipal storm main. Summary Together, the intensive amenity roof and biosolar PV roof create a high-performance ecological system: improving energy efficiency, reducing potable water demand, enhancing stormwater management, and providing meaningful outdoor space for residents.

1.9 Environmental Analysis | 2.10 Service Drawings

SC 5.5 Ecological Concerns and Consider Measurable Environmental Impacts

Rainwater Harvesting & Reuse Strategy Roof runoff from the green roofs, sawtooth roofs, and terraces is collected via the building’s downspout network and routed by gravity into a 25,000-gallon below-grade cistern located beneath the east café/market building. Incoming water passes through debris screening and first-flush filtration before entering the tank. Captured rainwater is treated in a pump + filtration room and distributed through a network of non-potable reuse pipes for: - Courtyard irrigation - Landscape plantings - Flushing toilets in residential units During major storm events, a controlled overflow connection routes excess water safely to the municipal storm system. This integrated approach significantly reduces potable water use, supports landscape resilience, and enhances overall site sustainability.

Roof downspouts carrying untreated rainwater vertically Horizontal rainwater collection mains

Altogether, the stormwater model, solar studies, and shading analysis demonstrate a unified environmental strategy that improves ecological function, reduces energy demand, and enhances livability. The design reduces runoff, increases infiltration, optimizes solar and daylight harvesting, and creates comfortable microclimates across the site. These findings verify that the architectural and landscape systems operate holistically to support resilient, low-carbon, and community-centered development.

Winter solar behavior: In winter, the sun sits much lower on the horizon, producing long, extended shadows. During the winter solstice, the café/market building and the east residential massing cast shadows that stretch deeply into the courtyard, especially around midday. Only selective areas of the central lawn receive direct sunlight at this time of year.

Summer Solstice The seasonal sun/shadow studies illustrate how the building massing, sawtooth roof forms, balconies, and courtyard geometry respond to changing solar angles throughout the year. Summer solar behavior: During the summer solstice, the sun reaches a high position in the sky, producing short, compact shadows. Because the majority of the residential massing sits south of the courtyard, these buildings do not obstruct sunlight from entering the central outdoor space. Even the taller residential wings on the east side cast minimal shade at noon— the steep solar angle keeps their shadows tight to the building base.

LOW WINTER SUN

The lower sun angle allows the sawtooth clerestories to capture diffuse northern daylight for interior workspaces while still permitting controlled winter solar gain into key residential areas.

12 PM

Courtyard comfort: While a portion of the courtyard is shaded, the low-angle winter sun still reaches deeper into residential units, improving passive heating potential and reducing winter energy use. Shaded areas of the courtyard remain usable for circulation, seating, and protected outdoor activities—even during colder months.

The courtyard therefore receives abundant direct sunlight during midday, making the outdoor environment bright and active. At the same time, the elevated walkways and overhangs surrounding the courtyard provide cool, shaded pockets for comfort—allowing residents to choose between sun and shade depending on activity and season. Balconies on the south and west façades further enhance summer comfort by providing passive shading to living spaces.

Together, these strategies optimize daylight, shading, and thermal performance—ensuring that the courtyard and surrounding residential units remain comfortable, adaptable, and energy-responsive throughout the year. SC 5.5 Ecological Concerns and Consider Measurable Environmental Impacts

Photovoltaic Array: The PV system is strategically placed on high-insolation roof zones to maximize annual solar energy production, reducing operational carbon and supporting long-term energy resilience.

Light Wells: Vertical light wells deliver natural daylight deep into unit corridors and living spaces, reducing reliance on electric light and improving visual comfort.

Green Roof System: Green roofs capture rainfall, reduce stormwater runoff, moderate rooftop temperatures, and enhance building insulation while creating beneficial microclimates.

Summer Solstice

Winter Solstice Sawtooth Roof Section The sawtooth roof geometry is optimized for north-facing daylight, which is diffused, glare-free, and ideal for interior workspaces. The south-facing opaque slopes block direct summer solar gain while allowing winter sunlight to enter at a lower angle.

Balconies as Passive Shading: Balcony overhangs minimize high-angle summer solar gain while allowing deeper low-angle winter sunlight penetration—improving thermal comfort and daylight access.

Optimized Window Placement: Windows are oriented and sized to maximize daylighting while supporting cross-ventilation, reducing mechanical loads and enhancing indoor comfort.

This geometry yields: Reduced summer glare + overheating Improved winter heating through passive solar gain Strong daylight availability year-round Enhanced energy efficiency from reduced artificial lighting needs 1.9 Environmental Analysis

SC 5.5 Ecological Concerns and Consider Measurable Environmental Impacts

Solar Analysis - Annual Insolation Study The annual insolation study quantifies how the building form, roof geometry, façade orientation, and shading devices interact with Kansas City’s solar climate. High-exposure roof zones demonstrate excellent potential for renewable energy generation, while moderated façade exposure confirms effective passive design strategies that maintain resident comfort. Strong Solar Exposure on Roof Surfaces The study indicates that all roof surfaces—particularly the large top roof, greenhouse roofs, and sawtooth roofs—receive the highest annual solar insolation. This is ideal for: Photovoltaic panel placement Green roof plant viability Potential seasonal heating benefits Peak roof values approach the upper limits (≈ 1200–1300 kWh/m² annually, depending on color scale), making these surfaces ideal solar harvesting areas.

South and West Facades Perform as Expected The south-facing residential facades show consistently strong solar exposure, validating the design strategy of: Orienting deeper living spaces toward the south Using large window openings to maximize passive daylight Enhancing natural lighting penetration into units—reducing daytime lighting loads The west-facing facades also receive high insolation, emphasizing the importance of controlled shading devices and high-performance glazing.

Balcony Overhangs Are Functioning Correctly The heatmap clearly shows the balconies: Reduce direct solar gain on upper façade zones Permit winter sun to penetrate deeper into living spaces Provide effective passive shading during hotter months Create a comfortable microclimate for residents This confirms that the balcony depth/angle is performing as intended in the environmental strategy.

Thermal + Daylight Synergy in Community Spaces

Design Strengths Confirmed by Solar Study:

The sawtooth roof structures above the community block receive high annual sunlight, reinforcing their purpose as daylight collectors.

The analysis validates several intentional environmental design strategies:

This strongly supports: Even daylight distribution inside coworking and learning spaces

Passive solar design works Deep light penetration into residential units is visible and effective. Shading elements function correctly Balconies + sawtooth geometry moderate excessive solar gain.

Reduced electrical lighting loads Integration of rooftop solar panels + clerestory strategy

Roof PV potential is extremely strong Large, flat surfaces optimize renewable energy harvesting. Courtyard microclimate is comfortable Reduced insolation supports outdoor public programming. Facades are appropriately oriented South and west sides operate according to solar design principles. Overall, the solar performance study verifies that the building massing, façade articulation, and rooftop configurations are well-tuned to Kansas City’s solar climate. High-insolation roof zones support PV and greenhouse programming, while moderated façade exposure ensures resident comfort. The solar and shading strategy operates as an integrated system across architecture, landscape, and program.

Egress Path & Life Safety Strategy

L7 Elevator Lobby

Consultant Address Address Address Phone

Each floor incorporates a code-compliant egress network highlighted in red, guiding occupants from all units and programmatic spaces toward one of the building’s three enclosed stairwells. These stairs are intentionally positioned along the building’s L-shaped footprint to provide balanced coverage, reduce travel distance, and offer redundancy during an emergency. The egress diagrams illustrate the sequence of movement—start, continued path, and end/discharge—ultimately leading to the Ground Floor exits opening directly to the exterior. All corridors maintain required widths, dead-end limits, and clear directional flow to support safe No. and intuitive evacuation. Description Date Consultant Address Address Address Phone

The sawtooth roof allows controlled north-facing daylight to penetrate deep into the workspace, reducing the building’s overall energy demand while limiting glare and direct solar heat gain. Clerestory glazing is positioned on the vertical face of each sawtooth module, providing uniform daylight distribution across the interior. The roof assembly includes multiple layers of thermal insulation, acoustic absorption panels, and a continuous waterproof membrane. Integrated gutters at each trough capture and redirect roof drainage, protecting the clerestory frame and ensuring longevity of the envelope.

Building Structural System The structural system for the project is based on a reinforced concrete frame designed to provide a resilient, long-lasting, and highly adaptable framework for multifamily housing. The building is supported by a combination of 18”x18” and 12”x12” concrete columns, strategically spaced to create efficient structural bays that align with interior partitions and residential planning modules. These columns carry 12”x24” reinforced concrete beams, which distribute loads to the vertical supports while maintaining clear interior spans for flexible layouts. Each level is formed by a 1’-0” thick concrete floor plate, providing acoustic separation between units, increased thermal mass, and robust load-bearing capacity for residential occupancy. The floor plate thickness also supports rooftop amenities, green roofs, and PV infrastructure distributed across upper levels. Foundation System The foundation utilizes a hybrid approach combining spread footings and deep foundation elements. Rectangular footings (72”x48”x18”) provide direct bearing capacity for lighter loads, while 39”x39”x35” pile caps paired with 24” diameter concrete drilled piers address areas with higher loads or less stable soil conditions. This system ensures uniform settlement control and accommodates the building’s L-shaped footprint and varying column loads. Integration with Architectural Design The structural grid aligns with the modular housing units, vertical circulation cores, and amenity spaces, allowing the architectural design to maintain clarity and consistency. The concrete frame supports cantilevered balcony slabs and provides inherent fire resistance, minimizing the need for additional fireproofing. By coordinating structure with egress paths, mechanical zones, and façade modules, the design meets SC 6.4 by fully integrating structural, architectural, and life-safety requirements.
