3-D VIEW OF THE HOUSE What is OregonBILDS? OregonBILDS (Building Integrated Livable Designs Sustainably) is a design-build studio program at the University of Oregon that was developed through a generous grant from the T&J Meyer Family Foundation and the UO Meyer Fund for a Sustainable Environment.

Our Studio Goals: •Design an affordable, single family dwelling unit.

•Green certifiable practices •Implementation of advance construction techniques •passive and active heating cooling techniques Finally, to design a home that fits into the context of the existing neighborhood and also which is saleable.

The final design is the collaborative effort of all the unique designs proposed by the students. The final product is a 1300sft home that has three bedrooms, two baths, kitchen, dining & living spaces which interact cohesively with the exterior spaces.

CONCEPT : PLAN EVOLUTION

This project was a live-work proposal for the city of Eugene. The program was to propose ten two storey residences and ten house & connected office space or workshop area. It was aimed at professionals who worked from home like painters, sculptures, small business operators etc. This proposal had ten live work spaces facing the front or the main road and ten houses tucked at the back with access to their private back yard spaces abutting the skinner’s butte. The front facing houses had an internal connection to the work spaces situated on the first storey. The sites topography was nearly a two storey difference and this allowed for a ground level parking and direct access to ten units at ground level. The other residences and work spaces were accessed mainly by a ramp or stepped path. The SW corner was allocated as a landscaped area or a park for the neighborhood.

ZONING

3-D VIEW OF THE COMPLEX CONCEPT: The passage of pedestrians, or traffic through an urban development site, is intrinsically linked to the placement of usage zones to achieve mutual compatible adjacency when investigating site layout planning.

•Levels in the site contour have been maintained, they are used to separate the cultural zone with the rest of the site.

•Entry and exits are restricted. They are uni-directional.

•Create a pedestrian only zone with in the complex by directing the vehicular movement in and out of basements only.

•The retail and office building acts as a backdrop to the cultural center.

•To create a separate zone for the cultural activities which do not get hindered by the remaining retail.

•Office and retail building have plazas at different levels, allowing for gathering spaces at different points with-in the complex.

CONCEPTUAL SKETCH OF THE THROUGH FARE

ELEVATION- HOSPICE BLOCK CONCEPT MODEL The project consisted of designing an out-patient, in-patient and the main hospice block. The designed proposed was a curvilinear building.

The curvilinear shape was adopted to facilitate ample cross ventilation and to allow for the changes in the contours of the site. The main hospice block is split into three main levels which are connected by a ramp. The split levels were used to allow for barrier free movement, good ventilation and light. The central courtyard inside the hospice block was designed as an open dining space. The landscaping was also designed to allow barrier free movement taking into consideration the changes in contours. The proposed design was a success in terms of achieving ample light and ventilation, barrier free movement and experience of user spaces.

Circular building allows all round views.

space, this area is shaded by buildings on the west and trees allow for shaded seating areas. This area acts as a court between the buildings and generates cool air for circulation.

Middle school Positioned to the north and has two levels similar to the high school and is also connected from the central court via bridges.

SITE PLAN

The high school has two levels, ground and lower ground floors. On the ground floor, it is connected via bridges.

Since the site slopes towards the lake there is ample light coming in from the north-eastern side for class rooms and labs.

CONCEPTUAL SKETCH Gathering area between auditorium and amphitheatre.

This area is shaded by the auditorium and has shading devices. This area allows for views towards the lake.

Recreation zone

The kinder garten is a one storey building having only ground floor, it is positioned on the western side, thus protecting and shading the central court and high school, middle school classes which run for longer periods.

Library: design intentions were •To create a space to encourage reading and research methods.

•Well light and ventilated areas, also create areas which are personal and conducive.

•Central court with landscaping, main attraction is an yellow flowering tree which reflects the yellow light into the covered areas of the library. Creating a burst of yellow warm light into the interiors.

Water Management: Low impact development (LID) is a relatively new storm water management design technology that is intended to mimic the natural hydrologic cycle in order to reduce runoff rates and the subsequent increases in nutrients and pollutants. Low impact development incorporates objectives such as:

• Minimizing disturbance • Increasing hydrologic disconnects (by decreasing connected impervious coverage) • Increasing drainage flow paths • Increasing infiltration opportunities • Reducing impervious coverage • Preserving and recreating natural landscape features

5 WAYS to Reduce Runoff: • Minimize Development Footprint • Minimize Impervious Surfaces • Area Reductions • Impervious Disconnection • Source Control Treatment

TYPICAL FLOOR PLAN SITE PLAN

BASEMENT FLOOR The challenge was to design an apartment having eight 2BHK’s, 10 3BHK’s and 20 studio houses. The final design has met the set requirements and has achieved ventilation from two sides per apartment and has its own garden spaces. The design proposed for a central service core and split basements to meet the parking requirements.

FIRST FLOOR PLAN The projected was to design a much needed community center for the culturally rich environment of Sajjan Rao circle, Bangalore.

The site proposed for this development was an odd shaped area with a steep slope. The challenge was to maintain the sanctity of the site and also develop it to its proposed requirements. The proposed design was based on the concept of an eye. The built was the eye itself and the landscaping at split levels fanned out as the eye-lashes. The proposed building had one main entry to the auditorium and exhibition spcaes,t he rear of the site housed the food court which spill’s over from the roof of the building. Barrier free movement was achieved inside and outside, design of the built space uses natural light for lighting during the day. The landscaping becomes the highlight of this community space.

This project was a residential proposal for a banker in Bangalore, India. The program was a three bedroom, kitchen, living and dining area. There was a need for the house to be introverted as the adjoining buildings were going to be very close to this house and would create a lack of privacy if it opened up too much. The concept was a traditional courtyard style house, with interior landscaping.

The client did not want the courtyard to open to sky and hence a skylight was introduced. The house is nearly completed, but interior is yet to be designed and completed.
