Students were tasked to find a wall section detail to replicate using Rhinoceros to show an understanding of using a modeling software. Students then used Twinmotion to apply materials and render to create finished images.
This specific wall detail included multiple layers, such as insulation, gypsum, concrete foundation, strapping, wood paneling, glass, and siding.
Hut on Sleds is originally designed and built by Crosson Clarke Carnachan Architects on the Northern Coast of New Zealand. The large hangar door closes for optimal privacy or opens for 180-degree views. The wood detail in the built-ins and loft create a cozy and warm environment to relax and enjoy the cabin.
As a part of C_ABE at Thomas Jefferson University, students entered a cabin competition and placed their cabins in a Pennsylvania State Park of their choosing. Students replicated their cabins using Rhinoceros to model, then rendered using Twinmotion.
Located in Nolde Forest State Park, the Hut on Sleds opens to the forestry and water views to create a perfect weekend getaway. The large 20ft doors expands the interior to the exterior, with bi-fold doors to allow privacy when needed. Wood paneling surrounds the house to connect to the wooded area.
To understand light wood framing, students constructed a basswood model that shows different aspects of a single-story gabled roof cabin. Several terms were identified during the construction, such as sole and double top plates, double headers and sills, king studs, jack studs, and cripple studs.
Sharswood, Philadelphia, PA
Design III | Professor Ivano D’AngellaFrom the neighborhood of Sharswood, students chose a group of clients to design a rowhome that fits their needs. This specific rowhome houses Morgan, a 2-1/2 year old girl, and her parents, with frequent visits from her grandmother. The multigenerational family needed a space to fit all of their needs, including an office space, a first floor bedroom for grandma, plenty of space for Morgan and her toys, and extra space for a small gym.
Sharswood, Philadelphia, PA
Design III | Professor Ivano D’AngellaIn a continuation of studying the neighborhood of Sharswood, the main Athletic Rec Center needed some work. Amplifying the space and adding a larger fitness facility would create a space for people to come together and work on physical fitness or sports. Fitness and aerobic classes could be held by community members to advocate for health. Accessible bathrooms and locker rooms can be used by the pool, basketball courts, the field, and the fitness center.
