A MACHINE FOR LIVING
Living Alongside the Land
Overview
As the transition away from carbon coincides with the need for improved water management and urban infill strategies.
This design seeks to leverage both problems to the benefit of the environment, community , and economy.
Living Alongside the Land Program
Massing Methodology
Commerical Rental
Residential
Resident Amenities
Remote Office
Workshop
Typical Low-rise urban zoning enables extremely ineffecient and wasteful land use.
The new space can be used for a restorative stormwater retention landscape.
Then we can use that water to feed a vertical agriculture system.
Which residents can leverage with amenities for production and delivery.
Maximizing Production
Living Alongside the Land
The southern side of both residential towers make the most use of the sun by enclosing them in an ETFE Greenhouse structure with operable shading and ventilation.
This offers both additional accessible growing and living space to residents while also adding insulative value.
Operable Shading
Manouverable baffles offer control over both shading and ventilation.
Solar Shading
offer shading from the summer sun in combination with hydroponic screens.
Balconies
Gantry Head
Equipped with connectors to the growing module to retrieve and return requested modules.
Growing Module
Textile containers of lightweight growing medium which affixes into the superstucture.
Roof Superstructure
Holds a container in place just above the metal roof system enough to collect water.
Metal Roof
Collects both rainfall and water pumped from the resovior and over roof to water whole assembly from top down.
By affixing a Gantry along the top of the roof system in combination with modular growing medium containers, plants can be easily retrived, harvested, or moved.
Modular Green Roof Horizontal Integration
Offering residents access to workshops kitchens, offices, and drone delivery widens profit margins on even low margin products and services. This enables more diverse and competitive income streams.

Overview A Machine for Living
This proposal for the 2023 HUD Federal Housing Competition sought to augment Chicago’s preexisting stock of affordable housing with a new option that leverages smart technology to function as a medical and research device.
Massing Methodology
Including lab rental in addition to commercial rentals allowed us to stay both affordable and within budget.
The middle is unconditioned space with skylights to offer space more pleasant than outdoors in the winter.
A series of accessible green roof spaces steps the massing down to local scale.
Panels
Form & Facade
Historic context of the area further informed materiality and fenestration. Translating traditional open light wells and corbeled overhangs to break down the mass into smaller sections.
Corner Shop
Engaging with the street along sedgewick with a cafe to foster connections on a major path of travel for traingoers.
Crossing Swale
Extending the crossing and a bioswale into the parking lane improves safety for everyone while mitigating runoff.
Program A Machine for Living
Life Lab
The Life Lab serves as the central hub for a variety of services provided by community partners who rent the space and make use of the data from the residential units.
The two types of units could be used for inpatient studies if vacant.
The street level is devoted to rental, transit access reduced parking count allowing for additional rental.
Smart Units
A Machine for Living
Units are made as small as feasible to keep rent within required limits. Laminated timber panels with drop floors allow for installation, maintenance of smart tech, plumbing and HVAC.
Smart Tech
By installing and coordinating various fixtures, sensors, and biometric analysis systems, the home becomes a tool for the diagnosis and monitoring of health conditions.
Accelerometer Monitoring gait pattern and detecting falls before they happen.
Smart Toilet Automatic sample analysis systems detect and monitor disease .
Smart Mirror Detecting symptoms of stroke, monitoring conditions like eczema.
Bed Sensors Monitor sleep patterns, quality and durations.

Introduction
Many buildings offer little attention to how their footprint impacts the experience. 1 K.C. Canopy
By taking cues from how nature organizes itself in forested environments, and lifting the bulk of the building -
We can leave the ground level more open for pedestrians and the activities they enjoy.
K.C.. Canopy
The form and facade are inspired by the shape and form of the forest.
Timber facade panels and glulam arches create a playful facade which is shaded by layers of copper mesh.
Program
K.C. Canopy
The mixed use program offers a vertical slice of urban living with convenience in mind.
Residential
Residential level is split to maximize the units and experiences available.
Amenity
Residential amenities and a restaurant separated by a vestibule offers a plethora of leisure time activities.
Parking
Above ground parking reduced the need for excavation and ventilation . Service and VIP access below grade.
Commercial
The street level is devoted to office space above retail shops along the ground level to engage the street.
Residential K.C. Canopy
A variety of unit types are included in the residential level. Each with a balcony or fold-open windows. Atrium units open onto adjoining rooftops.

3 Bed Panoramic Unit
Amenity K.C. Canopy
Amenity level is separated into a public restaurant and the private residential amenity spaces by primarily way of the elevator vestibule.
Commercial
K.C. Canopy
The Lower level is oriented towards the park with a open courtyard leading into an interior street with office space above retail.
