18TH AND VINE APARTMENTS 18th and Vine, Kansas City, MO

18th and Vine apartments is a new build, multi-use building in the historic 18th and Vine neighborhood in Kansas City, Missouri. Drastically shaped by the legally-enforced slavery in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this neighborhood became the heart of the Kansas City African American Community and with that it brought cultural contributions including styles of jazz, and barbecue. Not only was this a major hub for the development of the city’s culture, but it also remains a historic area. Many historic buildings still stand, or have been renovated while some have been demolished. Although pieces of the history have disappeared, the area continues to keep the culture alive by hosting many jazz events, first Friday celebrations, homes the Negro Leagues Baseball Muesum, and so much more. With all of this in mind, the 18th and Vine apartments main goal was to create a building in which the tenant could interact with festive community while still having their own privacy. Drawing from architectural styles and ideas from similar areas such as New Orleans, each unit possess its own balcony covered with a wrought iron inspired screen. By allowing each unit to have its own individual balcony they are able to view and connect with the community.

Within the first floor of the building are multiple double height retails units that can be subdivided smaller or be made larger. The historic neighborhood housed many unique cast iron storefronts including the adjacent building which once was the historic House of Hits. These storefronts were the inspiration for exterior of the retail spaces and follows many datums of the neighboring buildings.

SOHO, New York City, New York

The New York apartments is a third-year multi-use and affordable housing concept set in New York City. The apartments play with the idea of having a hidden gardern or green space of a luxury apartment while still offering the affordability that New York City is lacking. From the facade, the units look stark with the pushing and pulling of white metal on glazing against the black walls of the balconies. Once on the interior of the building, the design opens up to bridge style circulation allowing for green spaces to flow throughout the pathways leading towards the units.

WHITE BOX THEATER Tou Scene, Stavanger, Norway

White Box Theater is set in the district of Tou Scene in Stavanger, Norway. Tou Scene is an art district that offers a variety of different art areas from physical art such as dance to music to painting. The White Box Theater strives to allow natural light and glazing to define the lines of private and public. Glazing goes up the walls into the roof, illuminating the circulation paths throughout the design. Additionally, the courtyard facade is transparent as the space flows into the green space acting as an extension.

Walls lining the theater are permeable and filter guest in as well help with acoustics. In contrast, the street side of the white box theater is a heavy brick wall that encloses the back of house spaces to the street and creating a unique experience that you must be in the district to visit.

Crunden Martin Model As part of a fourth year design studio under the direction of El Dorado Architecture firm out of Kansas City, we were tasked with the idea of what material actually is. During this semester we dove deeper into study materials: their properties, their uses, and their innovations- with the end goal being a final exhibition showcasing our research. In addition to analyzing material, we studied the Crunden Martin Building in St. Louis that is currently undergoing renovations in order to be a material library. Thus, the material research.

Our final exhibition for this class was to encompass both our understanding of the building and its material make up, as well as the materials that could be housed here. The next section depicts my model that analyzed the Crunden Martin Building. By exploding the structural components of the building, the model explains the composition and the ‘how’ the building stands.
