N O I T C U D O R INT

I started my master’s program at BAC in the fall of 2019, since then, I have seen myself grow both as a student with design ideas as well as pushing my knowledge and boundaries in each studio project.

Coming into the first semester I was nervous about what to expect in a master’s program coming straight out of undergrad. I had many moments that I thought I was not good enough for this program but with hard work and determination I persevered through those thoughts. My first semester I was easily tested with my ability to think outside the box and do things that I had not even done in undergraduate studio classes. Not having a very strong graphic design background I found myself struggling to produce quality drawings and diagrams. Although since my first semester I have seen myself become a much better drawer which then helps in the aspect of creating diagrams. The help from my classmates inside the program as well as work experience outside of the classroom I have seen my drawings and diagrams evolve into something I can take pride in. There is always room for improvement, and I seek to keep pushing myself to make better and better diagrams each semester.

E V I ECT

L F E R

Thinking outside of the box and coming up with design statements is something that I had to understand in this program. That and backing up why I did certain moves as well as trying to diagram it. I saw a substantial leap from studio 2 to studio 3 with my reasonings, presentation style and performance as well as producing more of a story with my project. I felt passionate about my studio 3 work as I had some great ideas as well as moves that really stood out. The multifunctional space was a challenge as instead of coming up with one use year-round I came up with a use during the summer and winter seasons. Out of everyone else in the studio I believe I was the only one that came up with a multi-use space. This was scary yet satisfying that I had to come up with more programmatical spaces for the entire site compared to everyone else. This was a great steppingstone in my learning experience as it pushed myself to the max with complex designs.

Once I got into studio 4, I had a lot of confidence with my diagramming and presentation style from the past semesters. I took everything that I have learned in each studio and incorporated it into this final studio before thesis. Pushing limits while incorporating new ideas that I have never done before in a studio or professional scene; the integration of building systems and structure was a new additive measure to the mix. I definitely had some head scratching moments but, in the end, I had what I thought was a complete building that followed all the guidelines in which each professor in studio as well as building systems was looking for. While also having a design that was unique and intriguing to myself and to others.

Each semester I have learned more and more about myself both as a student and a professional worker. Expanding my skillset in the classroom to produce a clear and cohesive presentations at each review point of the semester while also keeping everything neat and easily readable. I like to keep my sheets clean and cut so that it does not compile a lot of information and distract reviewers from what the focus of the slide is all about. Presenting a clear story line of where I started to my formations to the final product was key in describing each project.

I do believe that these skills have been developed greatly since entering this program and are still in development moving into thesis. I look forward to taking on my thesis project with all that I have learned so far from this program and implementing all of it into the final project.

As well as using the skills inside the classroom applying everything to the real world and making architecture come to life.

The stepping of the roof lines will entice the residential group from their homes and draw them into the brewery, where they can gather and enjoy a sense of place where they know what is going on within the building. This affect, while also opening large spaces within the building or on the landscape, will help further the bridging aspect between the commercial side and residential side of this urban site.

DESIGN STATEMENT

Mission Hill being in the heart of a residential area, my cider brewery attempts to bridge the connection between the residential community and the industrial commercial aspect of the cider mill.

The building will be transparent from both interior and exterior spaces so the visitors and pedestrians passing by, can be intrigued with the process of the cider brewery. The connection between these two zones will be what draws in visitors from the community and from the greater Boston area.

4

PROCESS

The process of creating cider can be quite complex. Finding the right apples to brew is one of the essential factors in creating a great tasting cider. The entire operation of creating the cider will be the focal point in this building, so that all visitors can see how and where their cider comes from. Since Mission Hill is in a historic/industrial part of Boston, I wanted to celebrate the venacular materials for the exterior and interior aesthetic of the building.

Our site being in the heart of a residential community, there are many means of getting to and from the brewery. The green line from the MBTA train systems has a stop not to far from the entry to the site which makes for an easy commute for people coming to the site from the city. One major road also passes the site in Huntington Ave., this main road is another easy way to draw people in, that are driving by. Most importantly, there are plenty of foot traffic pathways that the local residential community can reach the building from, without any hassle.

SITE PLAN As visitors come from either the train line or walking down Huntington Ave., they can walk up and through the site and pick some apples off the surrounding trees. This area also acts as a gathering spot as well as lounging area to eat and drink outside. Both interior and exterior gathering spaces were a key focus point that I wanted to achieve, so that people had the option to stay inside on cooler days or enjoy the weather on hotter days yet still be shaded. A feature in the roof explains the connection between the residential community and its bridge to the commercial building. The two zones will work together to draw people in, and connect everyone and act as a communal gathering area.

Throughout the year, the building will experience lots of sun exposure especially during the summer solstice. This extra sun will work great with the exterior gathering points on the upper level of the brewery. People will be able to stay outside and look down into the production area and see the large fermentation tanks. These viewports are located all throughout the building in the interior while also on some exterior points of the building.

As the colder months arrive, the building will experience far less sun exposure. Meaning, the two exterior gathering points will not be able to be used as a bridge for the conection between the residential and commercial areas. Although the second floor incorporates more viewports, to help further the connection between the cider drinkers and the process of creating their drink.

Viewports from the street side will entice people passing by to stop and see what is going on in this new building. Large tanks will be showcased, while the whole production of the cider making process will take up the majority of the first floor. People will enter the building into the café where they can be seated and served. The building will also function as a meeting place for the town and community members. This space will be private to hold meetings and to announce important notices that the community can take part in.

Keeping an industrial feel to the project the building will consist of metal paneling for siding in both the vertical and horizontal direction. Large windows and viewports will bring a hint of modernism to the building so that people can see what is happening inside.

Windows will be placed in a way that it can harness solar energy and help heat the interior spaces. The largest viewport coming from Calumet St. will engage the passing of people. The large aluminum tanks will sit in those viewports to draw some interest to what is going on inside the building.

The sites naturally sloping contour will stay in place as it creates a good spot for drainage away from the exterior points of the building. Double high spaces will be used for the cider production to contain the three large tanks that will be used. The site will be leveled for the building but then embrace the natural gradient down the hill.

The building will feature an exposed steel truss system to keep the industrial look and feel throughout both the exterior look and the interior ambiance. The interior spaces will have views out into the orchard located at the front of the site, while also being protected by a row of trees, so that it creates a more secluded area from the neighboring residential buildings.

FOOD PLAZA

FOOD TRUCKS

Not only will there be ethnic restaurants coming into the area, but also an opportunity for food trucks to add to the diversity. While food trucks are mobile, they can easily come and go as they please and not disturb the setting of what could be a diversified food plaza located in Jeffries Point.The east side of Jeffries point is lacking restaurants and adding a food plaza will not only bolster the local community but also be an attraction for people coming into Boston via plane, or from the greater Boston area. The views that our site has are amazing. dinner looking at the historic city skyline of Boston is something anyone should be interested in experiencing. While these restaurants come into the site, it will bring a more diverse culture of food into the area.

Many community members will rejoice in taking their families to the site to have something to eat, followed by a walk along the edge of Boston Harbor and take in the views. While potentially seeing a big freight ship come through.

ICE RINK

This site offers a lot to people who visit. People that are food connoisseurs would love the diversity of food types.

It also plays a big part in the community, as it can act as family destination to have picnics or to just get out of the house and enjoy the city. Planes will be taking off frequently as people can watch planes take off, but also the opportunity for large ships coming through the harbor is something spectacular to those who do not see it every day. Bringing the diversity of East Boston and the surrounding area to our site, along the harbor’s coastline, will introduce new cultural restaurants while celebrating the many spectacular views of the Boston city skyline.

The historical city of Boston Massachusetts is home to about 685,000 people, while only having less than 50 square miles of land to house everyone. When people think of Boston, most think of the history of the city and how its developed into what it is today knowing that it was the starting point of North America. While Boston is small, it has a very diverse culture with many people coming from across the world to live and or visit. Being such a diverse city, there has been an up rising in different cultural restaurants in the city. A lot of people, that move from different countries to the area, also bring along their cultural foods. Some of the most popular types of food in the area are Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Indian. Everyone needs food to live and although there may be picky people around everyone enjoys eating some type of food.

Looking more at East Boston, we find there is a population of about 40,500. the rest of the city, East Boston is a very diverse community with varying ethnicities residing there. The predominant ethnicity is white followed by Hispanics and some others mixed in as well. Although there is a small population here in East Boston, there is still a good amount of varying restaurant types. Jeffries Point is well known spot in East Boston which, is located near Logan International Airport and right on the coastline of the Boston Harbor.

While a lot of the diverse restaurants are located more inland, Jeffries point only has about four or less types of restaurants. With so few of restaurants in a 15-minute walking distance, it would be beneficial for the people of Jeffries Point to get a revival of new tastes to the area.

Bringing in new cultural types of restaurants will let the families of Jeffries Point eat someplace new, while enjoying the views of the downtown skyline and (for those aeronautical enthusiasts) the relaxation of watching planes arrive and take off from the nearby airport.

Highway Blue Line Major Roads

Site Location

East Boston can be accessed in different ways. People can drive or take the MBTA T line. Once someone is in East Boston the easiest and sometimes the quickest way to get around the neighborhood is by foot or by bicycle.

To access our site, people will most likely be walking there as there is not much room for parking by the site.

Travelers from the airport also can walk to the site as there is a bike path that leads to and from the arriving airport terminals.

This bodes well for attracting in different cultural backgrounds to the area, and more specifically the site, as we are trying to increase the variety of food types and restaurants located in East Boston.

Site Location

The location of our site is far away from the main roads and the bigger grouping of restaurants. A local resident had talked about bringing more restaurants to the area to make it more attractive for tourist to come to or for the local community to visit the different types of food located in the area.

There is a wide range of selection in East Boston, but the closer you get to our site, there is not much to choose from.

The proposed cafĂŠ/restaurant for our site would bring an additional dinning option for the community to try out and be accessible by foot.

While East Boston is a tight and compact community, a lot of the traveling for people is via foot. People coming from the heart of Boston may take the train then face a 15-minute walk to the site to try out some new foods. This is not uncommon for Bostonians to walk or commute by train to their destination.

The site will be split up so that it can be functional in different ways, at the same time. The left side of the site will contain the restaurants and hardscape area for gathering and outdoor seating, while connecting directly to the harbor for use of a water taxi or cruise ship docking point.

As you move to the right of the site it morphs into a greener softscape area for the community to come enjoy their day, as well as bring any pets so that they can enjoy the outdoor weather. All along the perimeter of the site will be a board walk that anyone can access. People have the opportunity to move up and doen the landscape to take in the views from different levels.

The views on our site are some of the best from East Boston. We have an outlook to Logan International Airport. People who fancy planes and take offs and arrivals will have the opportunity to see everything that goes into running one of the busiest airports in the country.

As well as the airport, people will have the great view looking across the harbor and see directly into downtown Boston with some of its tall skyscrapers as well as some of the large cargo container ships coming and going out of the harbor.

Topo Grading Plan 1" = 40'-0"

The stretch of landscape will form two separate softscape pathways that visitors can walk along. As the tides come and go, these pathways will flood over making these circulation routes always changing over the duration of the day.

This extension of land will also allow for more communal softscape area for people to come and enjoy the site. Visitor will not have to cross over into the business side of the site that has all the food and attractions.

EXISTING SITE PLAN

24



Keeping this site versatile was key in my design approach. Both hardscape and softscape areas for the business side of the site which includes a friendly communal area. During the summer months the hardscape side of the site can transform from a food truck central lunch stop, to a recreational area when those trucks are not there. Basketball hoops will be placed up against the adjacent building to act as a background and backstop for the two different activities.

While in the softscape area, people can sit underneath trees and catch some shade or bring their kids and pets to the playground or the dog park. All these activities are near each other so that adults can have full range of supervision of all activities going on in this communal area.

Similarly, to the summer plan, the hardscape area will be transformed into the ultimate recreational area for the community of East Boston as well as bring in people from around the area. A full-sized ice rink will be used to draw in people on the cold days of the Boston winter. Circulation of the site changes a little but most main pathways are still easily traveled and visitors can still get to the restaurants within the building.

As the leaves fall from the trees, the ground will become more visible and create a good amount of surface area for snowfall. Kids and their families can come to the site and spend time building snowmen or igloos from the snow. This area remains family friendly throughout the entire year, which adds another park to the East Boston community.

As our building is located directly on the harbor, some generic materials may not make sense to use for this building. Proposing a fiber cement panel system will look and act like a traditional wood siding. Fiber cement will last longer and will be more durable than wood through the extreme seasonal changes on the Boston coastline.

Some of the site landscaping goals I wanted to achieve was having two floodable pathways on the harbor side of the site. These pathways will be separated by vegetation that can survive both in and out of water, while also having rocks to act similarly to a breakwater as waves crash into these areas.

Next to the restaurant I created a space for sitting and lounging that continues the softscape pathways into hardscape pathways. Visitors can take their food and sit out on these steps and be close to the water. A transitional piece of hardscape will be used to transfer into the softscape.

The rest of the site will be flat with a lot of the landscape architecture coming on the harbor front.

The building will use double high spaces to make the first floor feel larger, while also increasing the viewport out into the city or the entrance to the harbor. All double high spaces will be located next to the storefront wall system as well as seating facing out the large windows.

The building will feature angular walls, which represent how a train moves across the land. A big feature wall on the south façade will attract people from both Commercial St. and from the Harborwalk. Scale model trains will be the focus of the permanent exhibits. These model trains will showcase what kind of trains operate in the area while also importing some of the next generation of trains from across the world to see what is possible for this mode of transportation.

DESIGN STATEMENT

Boston, being a big city in America, relies on public transportation. While the most used mode in Boston is the train system or the “T”, our site used to be a railroad depot for ships to drop off goods to distribute via train to other parts of the country. A museum that educates people on trains can connect the site with its history.

Ceiling Materials

The offsetting level of the ceiling will be used in most all the spaces throughout the building, Both as an asthetic look and to mitigate sound.

Looking at the Temp. Exhibit space, it will meet the requirements for sound reverberation. Similar spaces will be close to the value.

a two way steel plan will be the generic floor system for each plate. each core is made up of cmu to act as shear walls for the buildings. While also being the main location for the lateral bracing for the building.

HVAC GOALS

HEATING COOLING VENTILATION

An HVAC rooftop unit (RTU) will provide the heating, cooling and most of the ventilation for the building’s spaces. The RTU will keep visitors cool in summer, warm in winter, and keep the building breathing easily all year long. VAV boxes and air diffusers will be placed throughout the ceiling to help distribute the air to the large spaces. The RTU’s will be perfect for this site as they will be located on the roof where they will not be seen by the public nor will they be heard from the street level.

Ventilation will run through the RTU. To get to each floor, there will be a shaft running parallel with the egress stairwell. Once ducts reach desired level, they will branch out and cover the area of each floor plate heating and cooling the spaces. The air will recirculate back to the RTU which will then exhaust out of the unit. There will be three zones that they will handle. One zone on the west side, another on the east side and one in the middle where most circulation through the building is as well as the atrium space.

The south skin façade will incorporate sections of solar panels to harness the full capacity of the sun during the summer solstice months but also have voided spaces to still allow direct sunlight into the building. A On-site production of electricity will be harnessed from the south facade skin.

Those arrays will feed back into the building, which will help produce some of the building’s energy. The energy will pass through an inverter which will then power lighting and other electrical loads.

The uses for water will be all the fixtures within the building which include water closets, urinals, sinks, dishwashers. The site itself will be watered by rainwater with a rainwater collection system located on the roof.

62

Rainwater can be collected and filtered within the building which can then be used for non-potable water fixtures.

Having landscape drain and slope away from the building to reduce stormwater accumulation, as well as reduced flat areas for water to pool and create pond of water on the site.

RAINWATER MANAGEMENT

Waste grey water will be sent into the landscape to help irrigate the site. Water from all fixtures within the building will be drained into the landscape to help water and keep that ground saturated.
