PROFESSIONAL PROJECT 2 Portland Midcentury Modern Remodel Portland, OR | Designed 2021 | SHED Architecture & Design Phases: SD-DD-CD
This extensive renovation of a 1962 midcentury modern house by Saul Zaik reconfigures the entire house to amplify abundant natural light and enhance relationships to the forested site in every space. Working under direction of the design principal, I assisted in the development and coordination of all project documents from the initial client meeting through design development, permitting, and construction documentation. Throughout the project I was solely responsible for all Archicad BIM work as well as a design Sketchup model for renderings.
The design emphasizes fluid open-plan living spaces throughout the upper floor by removing an existing mezzanine platform and partial ceilings to showcase the original nail-laminated roof deck. Slatted wooden screen walls and interior relites allow light from the central skylight to enter the primary bedroom and bathroom suite. A unique roof support structure consisting of an upper tension ring, lower collar beams, and hip beams are also exposed throughout. The project is currently under construction.

Under the project manager and project architect, I helped develop, coordinate, and maintain the BIM model to produce the main drawings, specifications, and details throughout the project. One of my primary tasks was to draw the interior and exterior details. Exterior detailing was a key challenge in accommodating 5 inches of continuous exterior insulation throughout the envelope. Details were scrutinized to ensure good airtightness and minimize thermal bridging in order to lower operational energy costs. I also created all visualizations for the project.

Conceptually, the project is organized as set of shifted boxes representing each home. A variance was requested and approved from San Francisco’s typical bay window modulation requirement in order to maintain the width of these box volumes. Each unit is organized through one strip of public functions (kitchen, dining, living) & one strip of private programs (bedrooms, bathrooms). The separation also creates lightwells that allow every bedroom in the deep floor plates to have ample access to light and air. Photography by Bruce Damonte.

Water is a universal and powerful force in all our lives, deserving to be celebrated. The Seattle Water-ing Hall (Water Research and Education Center) celebrates the importance of water research through an inviting public interior space along the Seattle waterfront organized around the theatrical experience of water.
The building collects and invites water to permeate the entire structure, using a combination of water and architecture to subvert relationships of interior and exterior, and to give a sense of place on the working waterfront.

The building is an organized vertically as an open steel framework under a canopy of water and an envelope of light plastic film, or ETFE. The ground floor activates the street edge through an exhibition hall, cafe, take-out restaurant, and presentation space. The research office is a separated volume and mezzanine platform of wood. A strong cylindrical volume invites the public to journey down, underneath the city, to discover the underworld of the waterfront, which is mostly built on piers and piles. A rooftop bar becomes a lookout point from which both the natural context of the Olympics, Puget Sound, and downtown Seattle are all visible at the same time.

This thesis presents a vision of how residential architecture must change to address the challenges of climate change and housing affordability while accommodating growth. Just as 194X influenced the post-war housing boom of the post-1945 era, a new visionary period called 203X must imagine what is needed to transform our environments for the sustainable transition.Theinvestigation spans the past, present, and future of the American single-family housing typology to understand and engage the dominant vernacular in the United States and Seattle. The project imagines what residential architecture would be if long-term sustainability and equity were the key drivers of design. The result is a framework called “Design for 203X” which proposes an incremental and flexible approach towards architecture, integrated with advances in other fields to increase human and environmental well-being for a more sustainable and equitable future.

74203XFORDESIGNTHESIS: LEEGEORGE
A Community Land Trust separates the value of land and the value of buildings through nonprofit leasing agreements in order to develop the homes and structures for community benefit. The CLT organization owns the land while residents own their houses. A scaling up of this type of idea is an important way to develop social values in the built environment. In designing for 203X, architects and designers must reclaim the role of innovating for the sake of better living. Architects could be continuous facilitators between the residents’ needs, dreams and built realities.
Community land trusts and other limited equity organizations are generally reliant on external funding for start-up, one of the reasons for their slow uptake. Therefore, CLTs will need to find paths to economic sustainability; they might develop additional housing on purchased land as well as other non-housing value such as food, water, and energy. In addition, policy could support such efforts through low-term financing, such as a housing bond. From a social perspective, the highest and best use of land is not to increase property value, rent, or mortgage cash flow, but to increase value for living. Models for Community Driven Development
2. Economic
Structures designed for 203X cannot simply be incremental improvements over current models. To end the wasteful cycle of building, demolishing, and rebuilding structures, a dynamic and evolutionary architecture that can respond to change is needed. A dynamic and evolutionary architecture will need to use a “kit of parts” system to standardize the construction process to make it more efficient through the reduction of labor. This can be achieved through the reuse of existing materials and the use of low-carbon, recyclable substitutes for high carbon products like concrete.

Designing for 203X acknowledges that growth is necessary and that single-family neighborhoods eventually need to absorb some growth in population and change in demographics. To allow greater flexibility in every community, the regulatory environment for planning and construction processes must be rewritten to support maximum social impact from community developed land. Possible changes include: ending single unit lot maximums, developing an ownership structure for multi-unit land, allowing the assembly of land parcels for community benefit, increasing height limits, and developing outcome-based planning methods.

Concept Diagram from the Zonnetorpe research project - http://www.zonneterp.nl/
Concurrent with new approaches to residential buildings, the systems that support buildings and everyday life must be re designed to be more integrated and decentralized to be resilient, extensible, and upgradeable. Services for water, heat, energy, and waste must be both circular and distributed. Innovation is needed to find ways to realize alternative systems that work socially and economically at scale.

To explore and present these ideas, the following are 3 sketch designs of what could be developed with the principles of Design for 203X. Designing for 203X: Sketch Proposals
The hypothetical design area is located in the target neighborhood of Olympic Hills in North Seattle, a suburban area at the northern edge of Seattle characterized by post-war single family dwellings. The target neighborhood is an exemplary post war suburb, once affordable, but now growing increasingly unaffordable. Before development, the land in the area had been used for agriculture, including orchards and horse stables.

As designing for 203X takes hold and more and more land becomes developed for the community, new forms and typologies of larger communitydeveloped buildings could emerge. add & resilient features replace original home & add-on to ADU & upgrade structure integrate site with larger community developments
The neighborhood could be transformed through an incremental process starting with existing conditions. This transformation could follow a step-by-step process.

Starting out with detached accessory dwelling units and then moving on to multiple full size houses, the later phases then link all the dwellings into one patchwork building that may continue to grow.
At the start, only a single-family house and a backyard cottage are located on the site. Seeing the original owners’ expansions, a neighbor soon joins in and adds new dwelling units to his property as well. As the co owners add more units, they eventually decide to form a cooperative and link the dwellings together.

The Green Rowhouses
If more flexible architecture became a reality, residential development could foster new connections between communal space and private space. In this sketch design, the Green Rowhouses imagines the incremental development of individualized family dwellings in the row house typology. Above, at the roof deck, a shared greenhouse enclosure could provide a new type of semi-private or semi-public space that could include food production or a shared winter garden living space, while providing passive solar gains.

The Vertical Farmhouses
As design for 203X can adapt and accommodate community needs, the community could experiment with other key ideas in sustainability such as localized food production. This sketch design imagines urban agriculture in a greenhouse enclosed vertical farm built next to a grouping of cottages using the hybrid steel-and-timber construction system. The vertical farm is a testbed for highly productive technologies such as hydroponics and aquaponics in combination with rainwater harvesting and earth-sheltered food storage. Underneath the farm, local food businesses selling and cooking with the onsite produce might thrive as a local gathering place.

This concept master plan for the new Folk High School for the Green Transition is a vision of a broad learning environment that integrates a lively setting for community and social responsibility with a reimagining of how the built environment inhabits landscape and ecosystem. The plan imagines the campus as a framework of flexible spaces, fully integrated with a regenerative agricultural bioscape. This framework creates a variegated and flexible mix of uses where students learn, eat, rest, and work together.
Integrated Bioscape Integrate both landscape and architecture in a regnerative and fertile bioscape that is productive for both the school and the environment.

The mix of uses focuses the campus on the school’s primary mission: a critical examination of the sustainability of the modern human lifestyle. In combining this framework of spaces with a productive bioscape, the campus is intended to demonstrate a new concept of well-being which is intended for the needs of both humans and the environment in a carbon-neutral society.
This project explores the integration of agriculture with the dining hall as a way of celebrating a greater connection between people and food in the Folk High School for the Green Transition. The dining hall incorporates experimental indoor, vertical, hydraulic farms into a dynamic and multipurpose gathering space. The indoor farm volumes function partially as greenhouses as well as providing the primary source of natural light in the dining space. The dining hall is imagined as a scaffolding for the greenhouse volumes through the use of a simple modular timber grid construction system. The ground floor is kept as open as possible using the timber frame structure and glass sliding door panels in order to extend the dining hall into the adjacent exterior plaza.
