BAYHOUSE CROOK BAY, VIRGIN GORDA

Bayhouse, located at the apex of a two acre beachfront site, fuses classic Caribbean and contemporary tropical design. Traditional hip and shed roofs over the bedroom wing, contrast with flat concrete roofs at the Living pavilion. Here, hovering concrete canopies are punctuated with areas of trellis, creating patterns of light and shade which change throughout the day. Woodlouvered windows provide natural ventilation and shading, while fixed rooftop louvers promote passive cooling. In contrast, large glazed openings frame dramatic views of the seascape beyond. Bayhouse was originally designed as three pavilions comprising Living, Bedroom and Guest units. The construction of the Guest Unit has been deferred.

DESIGN APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION

The Youth Empowerment Program (YEP), Virgin Gorda Youth Center is planned to be located on a prominent site at the curve of the North Sound Road coming into Hansome Bay. As noted in the Design Project Brief, the site borders a very busy main road and careful consideration will need to be given to drop-off area design and safety. A strong fence will also be needed along this road to ensure the safety of students on the grounds.

The brief indicates that the desired facility would be 3,500 to 4,500 sf. It also notes that these numbers were arrived at by studying the usage of the YEP facility in East End, Tortola, which is approx. 2,800 sf and is manifestly too small for its current scope of activities. We note that storage, particularly for sporting equipment is a key concern in the brief. We have carefully analyzed the activities outlines in the Project Brief and allocated moderate, workable spaces based on international standards. The results of this exercise are referenced below and included in this document for your review.

The proposed site is opposite Olde Yard Village, on the Hansome Bay side, and adjacent to the Ciboney Centre for Excellence. We note that provisional approval for a two-story building has been granted, and that it is desired that the two levels be designed to operate independently of each other. However, the functional program of the lower floor which would be the youth center as outlined in the attached Design Brief, far exceeds the program for the upper floor which would be a separate flexible community space with a functional roof. A more detailed analysis of the design brief follows, with some recommendations which have been included in the Concept Design and some which have not been included at this stage. We believe that this may warrant further discussion prior to moving into Detailed Design.

Although 0.482 acres might seem like a rather large piece of property, required building setbacks from the road and the boundaries must be taken into account. Standard sized sports courts also take up quite a large area. These dimensions and the required or suggested clearances around them are also documented in the Appendices towards the end of this document. Please see the Site Diagrams within the Concept Design drawings which explores the options and consequences of including or excluding the Sports Courts on the other desired and required site functions such as the greenhouse, multi-purpose outdoor area, garden, and sewage treatment system.

ANALYSIS OF DESIGN BRIEF

• Having analyzed the program and applied moderate space sizes, I am doubtful that the entire wish-list can be accommodated in 3,500 sf. Applying moderate space sizes, the guidelines used include

o For the “Classrooms” -- 18-20 sf per student for Art, Music, Computer and Homework Areas, assuming ten (10) students per room

o For the Game Room – minimum clearances around the equipment identified i.e. Pool/ Billiards Table, Table Tennis, and Air Hockey.

o For the Community Space – 6sf per person, plus an allowance for a “stage”/ presentation/ speaker area at the front.

o It is likely that the room sizes at the existing YEP facility in Tortola are smaller. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss minimum functional space sizes from the perspective of the staff.

• The programming exercise, which is included in this document, resulted in an approximate square-footage of 5,200 sf, excluding storage (800sf), utility (300sf min.) and cistern areas. With these included the area is just over 6,600 sf.

• The site is approx. 20,996 sf. Its buildable area within the required setbacks is approx. 12,776 sf. However, the site programming alone with the Playing Courts, Training shed, Greenhouse and desired outdoor areas is close to 10,000 sf. It is also necessary to allow for waste treatment at a reasonable separation from the building and boundaries. This makes the site area really quite tight. Consider

o Moving the Staff Areas upstairs to Level 2

o Moving some or all of the Learning Areas to level 2

o Using the Roof Deck as part of the Outdoor Learning Area

 Introducing a Green Roof on a portion of this, increases insulation from heat gain below as well as providing a more pleasant outdoor space above

o Reconsider the priorities for the Outdoor Sports/ Site Development. I note that there is a basketball court nearby.

• We would suggest distributing the six (6) Level 1 youth toilets through the various functional areas of the building rather than creating large “gang” restrooms in one area. We have shown individual restrooms

o Near the Lobby and Nurse’s Station

o Near the Game Room

o Near the Classrooms/ Learning Areas

o *outdoor showers would need to be located at the lowest level of the structure, close to the storage and Utility areas

• Having the Community Space upstairs only, creates issues of access for the handicapped and elderly who o�ten desire to remain active in the community. I would suggest that this space be on the lower level. It can still be functionally separate from the Youth Center. Alternately, a li�t/ elevator should be prioritized for Universal Access, and some of the Youth Center spaces could be placed on the upper level.

DESIGN APPROACH/ CONCLUSIONS

• I simply could not achieve the full program desired on the site including all the desired outdoor amenities. Other design decisions were taken to maximize natural ventilation and other climate friendly strategies. The concessions made in the design include the following

o The Dodgeball and Basketball courts are not shown. This allows for the inclusion of the Greenhouse and Multi-use external area for fiberglass training/ vehicle maintenance. It also allows us to shi�t the building east and use the undercro�t of the building for storage, cisterns, and utility areas

o No dedicated performance space is included. The Community Space can be used for this purpose. Additionally, one group of three learning spaces has been designated to be connected by moveable partitions as a second option.

o Air-conditioning will be provided only in areas where sufficient passive cooling cannot be achieved by use of cross-ventilation, mechanical air-circulation, insulation and other strategies. Where airconditioning is used, providing fresh air intake to minimize indoor air pollution over time will be a high priority. We would take the approach of designing a mixed-mode system which uses mechanical cooling efficiently alongside natural ventilation.

• The goal was to place the building at the highest point of the site. This would give a greater likelihood of effective cross ventilation. However this clashed with the secondary goal of having the entrance to the site as far away from the curve in the road as possible, the request to use the undercro�t for storage, and the ability to provide site area for the Greenhouse, Multi-purpose Outdoor Area and the sewage treatment system.

• The stated goal to obtain the use of the adjacent parcel 106 is a good one and is in my opinion, necessary for the development of all the desired outdoor activities of the Center.

DESIGN STRATEGIES

In this design I have leaned heavily into Architectural strategies to maximize natural ventilation. A building designed for effective natural ventilation will o�ten require more site-space as pathways for air�low must be designed in. These can include courtyards, atria, and even vertical chases in multistory buildings

• The Leisure and Learning wings are located parallel to each other and oriented to accept the wind from the east. Agricultural and Horticultural gardens can be located in the courtyard created by this strategy.

• The corridor ends are louvered to allow for passage of air without having to open windows in these transitional spaces. I have used similar fixed, hurricane-rated drainable louvers at previous projects to excellent effect.

• “Wind-catchers”, also fitted with the louvers mentioned above, are used at the corridor roofs. With louvers set at different orientations to capture the prevailing winds at different times of the year. With a central dividing wall these also function as solar chimneys letting hot air out. Please see the images provided in the Concept Drawings Set to illustrate this function.

• The room windows on the north and south facades are angled out to capture the easterly breezes that �low into the courtyard and around the building. The angle and casement operation allow them to better direct the fresh air into each room.

• Another sustainable design strategy is the use of Green Roofs to provide insulation and add vegetation. Some roof area is retained to allow water capture for the cisterns and placement of solar panels. That area will be insulated with rigid or spray-applied foam.

HOW TO ACHIEVE:

The 9 Foundations of Healthy Buildings

VENTILATION

Meet or exceed local outdoor air ventilation rate guidelines to control indoor sources of odors, chemicals and carbon dioxide. Filter outdoor and recirculated air with a minimum removal efficiency of 75% for all particle size fractions including nano. Avoid outdoor air intakes at street level or near other outdoor sources of pollutants. Commission systems, conduct regular maintenance and monitor ventilation in real-time to prevent and resolve ventilation issues promptly.

AIR QUALITY

Choose supplies, office supplies, furnishings and building materials with low chemical emissions to limit sources of volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds. Check for legacy pollutants such as lead, PCBs and asbestos. Limit vapor intrusion by using a vapor barrier. Maintain humidity levels between 30-60% to mitigate odor issues. Conduct annual air quality testing. Respond to and evaluate occupant concerns.

WATER QUALITY

Meet the U.S. National Drinking Water Standards at point-of-use. Test water quality regularly. Install water purification system for removal of contaminants, if necessary. Ensure residual disinfectant levels are sufficient to control microbes, but not in excess. Prevent water stagnation in pipes.

THERMAL HEALTH

Meet minimum thermal comfort standards for temperature and humidity and keep thermal conditions consistent throughout the day. Provide individual level thermal control, where possible. Survey the space and occupants regularly to identify zones that underperform. Respond to and evaluate occupant concerns. Commission systems, conduct regular maintenance and monitor temperature and humidity in real-time to prevent and resolve thermal comfort issues promptly.

DUST AND PESTS

Use high efficiency filter vacuums and clean surfaces regularly to limit dust and dirt accumulation, which are reservoirs for chemicals, allergens, and metals. For homes, take off shoes at the door to limit tracking in dirt. Develop an integrated pest management plan with a focus on preventative measures such as sealing entry points, preventing moisture buildup and removing trash. Avoid pesticide use, if possible. Train building management how to respond to pest problems and complaints.

LIGHTING AND VIEWS

During the day provide as much daylighting and/or high intensity blue-enriched lighting (480nm) as possible while maintaining visual comfort and avoiding glare. Get regular light breaks outside. Provide blue-enriched task lighting when necessary for comfortable viewing. For as long as possible before sleep, reduce light intensity as much as possible and use blue-depleted light to enhance sleep. Aim to provide direct lines of sight to exterior windows from all workstations. Incorporate nature and nature-inspired design indoors.

NOISE

Protect against outdoor noises such as traffic, aircraft and construction. Control indoor sources of noise such as mechanical equipment, office equipment and machinery. Provide spaces that minimize background noise to 35db for unoccupied work and learning areas, and a maximum reverberation time of 0.7 seconds.

MOISTURE

Conduct regular inspections of roofing, plumbing, ceilings and HVAC equipment to identify sources of moisture and potential condensation spots. When moisture or mold is found, immediately address moisture source and dry or replace contaminated materials. Identify and remediate underlying source of the moisture issue.

SAFETY AND SECURITY

Meet fire safety and carbon monoxide monitoring standards. Provide adequate lighting in common areas, stairwells, emergency egress points, parking lots and building entryways. Manage points of egress and the physical perimeter. Be situationally aware through video monitoring, interactive patrols and incident reporting. Maintain a holistic emergency action plan and mechanism for communication to building occupants.

SMOKING POLICY

Establish and enforce a smoke-free policy indoors and within 20 feet of the building. ACTIVE DESIGN

Incorporate design elements that promote and encourage activity, such as easily accessible staircases and recreational areas. Provide ergonomic furnishings that minimize discomfort and limit the development of chronic physical injuries. Follow applicable occupational safety guidelines to ensure safe work environments.
