04 One House Living Together Spring 2022 - ARC 3021A Third Year Design 2 Studio Cal Poly, Pomona Architecture Instructor: Roberto Sheinberg Project Overview: Location: Silver Lake, CA. Program: Mixed Use Multi-generational Housing with 10 Residential Units, Retail, and Community Multi-Purpose Hall Workflow: Revit, Rhino 7, Vray, Adobe CC Recognition / Award: Jack and Marilyn Zuber Remembrance Award, CPPARC Student Work Showcase - Interim Fall 2022
Access to flexible and affordable homes is a spreading concern for everyone not just locally but worldwide. Both youth and elders, making it more challenging to meet the most fundamental human need of a shelter. The new Silver Lake mixed-use, multigenerational housing project aims to create an innovative solution to the lack of access to affordable homes and provide new ways of living with more flexibility, friendly, and pleasant housing alternatives for all generations. This mixed-use housing project brings accommodation to extended families, singles, young and old couples, and even friends who can live together and regenerate a sustainable multigenerational community. The proposed multigenerational housing located on a corner lot of Silver Lake Boulevard and Effie Street with restrictive zoning requirements sets the space needs for multi-family residential and commercial spaces, providing the means to a design of unique qualities. that adds character and personality to the building. With a limited footprint, the building form provided a unique solution via split levels of three separate districts — residential, community and commercial zones. Residents, shoppers, and visitors can utilize these spaces independently with different priorities for privacy, daylight, views, and function. As a corner site, views and privacy are critical with adjacent houses and establishments; a distinguished set of staggered surfaces and cascading volumes provide a playful palette. Taking advantage of the Silver Lakes’s lively and evolving neighborhood, the ground floor organizes flexible retail spaces for viable businesses. A multipurpose community room provided with a semi-public open space extends as a public venue and social space to support Silver Lakes’ Community Plan and stand to hold future community activities. The housing above the podium contains ten residential units total from the second floor to the fourth floor. Each floor anchors within this centralized cascading terrace decks function as a private social space and a placemaking that connects each unit, residents, and individuals to new opportunities to live and interact with other generations.

05 Sky Up An Observational Tower FALL 2020 - ARC 3011A Third Year Design 1 Studio Cal Poly, Pomona Architecture Instructor: Luis Gil Project Overiew: Location: Mt. Vette Program: Observational Tower Workflow: AutoCad, Rhino 7, Vray, Adobe CC
This scenic and observational tower is based on the idea of the hidden surprises of nature and science. The tower has an unusual slanted form, that serves as an entry portal of curiosity that features a center core that is provided to look up for a glimpse through a light tunnel, telling visitors what this tower is about. The center core also guides the direct access pathway or staircase going up that is also integrated with three different unexpected viewing scenic platforms that reminisce a journey. The journey caters to fears through the looking down glass floor platform, encouragement of looking up platform, and success with the 360 degree-lookout viewing platform at the top end. The top end also combines looking down from the beginning of the journey. In addition, the exterior is surrounded by a solid wooden plank to keep the features hidden at the same for the material to blend with the environment and the site. Along with a few small and massive openings to serve to allow air circulation and lighting. Some of the structures tend to be revealing and exposed to improve the visual impact of the design outcomes. Overall, this tower tries to generate sensory feelings, emotions, and movements in space and time as visitors spent inside the tower. 46
