MMON PLACE PROJECT BRIEF
Eddy Tavio | Fall 2021 Mixed-use Residential 1800 Paseo | Kansas City, MO 153,000 sf
SUMMARY
East 18th Street, on the Missouri side of Kansas City, is relatively undiscovered. However, that does not necessitate a lack of potential. On a masterplan scale, the goals of developing the corridor are to build a refined but exciting pedestrian experience, increase residential density, and fill amenity needs for the community. Within those goals, Common Place adds a playful and interactive component to 18th Street.
KEY LEARNING OUTCOME
It is vital to consider all scales of a project— from closet door specifications to ripple effects on a city—in order to ensure full integrity and purpose of a design.

PROGRAM FOR RESIDENTS
CONNECT RESIDENTS TO CITY
Two towers linked by a bridge symbolize joining the Crossroads District in the west with the 18th and Vine Jazz District in the east. The park between the two towers signifies individualism of the two districts, while the activated gap shows that unity between the districts is possible.
BRING RESIDENTS AND DISTRICTS TOGETHER
INDIVIDUALISM + COMMUNITY The 18th Street corridor is in need of casual yet practical places that have flexible functionality. In response, the two key mixeduse spaces in Common Place fill in the gap— literally and socially. The coworking space in the west tower promotes working in the presence of others. Two stories of sober bars in the east tower allow multiple businesses to inhabit the same space and cater to a family-friendly environment. Between the two towers, a linear park acts as the link between the two towers for pedestrians. Strategic apartment unit arrangement maximizes horizontal density to avoid a contextually foreign vertical extrustion. Expressive balconies link apartments while green walls create privacy between neighboring units. Young professionals, college students, singles, couples, and small families can all enjoy life at Common Place.

PROGRAM
INCLUSIVITY
Two gathering places drove the mixeduse program. The first, in the west tower, is a coworking space. This is a destination for those who don’t want to be isolated to their apartment for completing work. The second is two stories of sober bars in the east tower. These are family-friendly and provide vendor space for several local businesses.
Not everyone enjoys alcoholic beverages. For many, alcohol does not lead them toward a healthy environment. In light of that reality, the businesses that occupy the vendor spaces in the east tower offer sober drinks only—coffees, bubble teas, milkshakes, sodas, etc. This creates a family-friendly atmosphere, which is more inclusive to all age ranges and personality types than a typical bar.
Resident levels are densely arranged to efficiently use horizontal space.

POETIC MATERIALS Common Place is constructed from CLT, which is cost-effective while leaving a smaller carbon footprint than non-heavy timber construction. As a future-conscious choice, it also points to the future of the 18th Street corridor as one of hope and innovation for Kansas City. The resident balconies are linked by waving, self-illuminated panels, which visually help create a sense of destination and unity among occupants.

URE DISTILLERY PROJECT BRIEF
Todd Achelpohl | Spring 2021 Craft Distillery 18th St. & Oak St. | Kansas City, MO 60,000 sf
SUMMARY
On a hot-spot corner in the artsy Crossroads District of KCMO, Measure Distillery experientially and metaphorically references the jazz history and culture of the area. For those who come to enjoy a beverage or who work in production, Measure Distillery is a place of functional poetics.
KEY LEARNING OUTCOME
The narrative must be the anchor for every decision. It is critical to not lose sight of the big idea.

• On prominent corner • In established district • Near KC Streetcar • Along popular pedestrian street • Within walking distance of jazz district
SITE WEAKNESSES
18TH ST.
• No connection to jazz district • Experientially isolated to Crossroads District • Little outdoor dining • Uninviting corner
GUIDING QUESTIONS • How can a distillery link districts? • To what degree should a distillery adopt characteristics of the surrounding built environment, and to what degree should it be an anomoly? • How can solar access be maximized? • How can the street corner experience be impactful at a pedestrian level?
CONCEPT DEVLOPMENT
ONE O’CLOCK JUMP
To provide the missing link between the Crossroads and 18th & Vine, a jazz song by Count Basie became the inspiration for the craft distillery. The skin of the building represents the liveliness and rhythm of jazz, with the ground floor simulating the bass clef and the second floor paying homage to the treble clef. Each louver is one note from the song, with its height and width determined by the note’s duration and pitch. They resemble sheet music, which is emphasized by the horizontal mullions that parallel a musical staff.

PROGRAM N
The eastern half of Measure Distillery focuses on spaces for the publilc, including various bars. The stills are visible from the street corner to clarify the building’s purpose and draw in visitors. An outdoor patio intersparsed with trees gives opportunity for local musicians to perform for guests, thus connecting Crossroads with 18th & Vine. The western half, accessible to delivery trucks, serves the staff of the distillery.

TECTONICS In developing the design from concept to proposal, much attention was given to IBC requirements as well as how Measure Distillery would actually function. Detailed wall sections show a unitized curtain wall system hung from a steel frame (left). The diverse modulation creates interesting views and natural light for visitors.

HARMONIC ADDITION A glass facade on the ground floor allows passersby to visually participate in the happenings within Measure Distillery, namely production, touring, and tasting. For those inside, the views to Kansas City remind them of the city’s breadth and depth. As one climbs the stairs from the bass clef of public use to the treble clef of more private use, they see more of the city in their ascent. A garden patio on the south end of the building is the link between street life and the retail bar on the ground floor. Like jazz music, each part of the distillery’s experience is unique to itself yet complementary to the whole. The articulation of screens and sight lines display the creative yet technical composition characteristic of both music and distilling. For those strolling along the street, driving to work, or out for a date night, Measure Distillery is an integrating space that contributes to Kansas City culture. 22

ANITY CENTER PROJECT BRIEF
Shannon Criss | Spring 2020 Community Center 8th St. & Minnesota Ave. | Kansas City, KS 40,000 sf
SUMMARY
The AOH Center enhances the cultural diversity of the neighborhood and satisfies the current lack of gathering places. It allows people from all backgrounds to express themselves while simultaneously experiencing others’ heritages.
KEY LEARNING OUTCOME
Holding conversations with the community and researching the context provide opportunities to exercise empathy and create well-rounded designs.

LINK MOST IMPORTANT SPACES: ART GALLERY, THEATER, AND CAFE
MATCH SITE SLOPE TO METAPHORICALLY AVOID INTRUSION
SITE FOOTPRINT EXTRUSION
CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT Three anchoring spaces relate to each other because they are where cultural expression happens most prominently. These spaces link in circulation and in form. Both form and circulation cascade in proportion to the slope of the site to respect what already exists on the site. Cascading forms that respond to the steep topography allow light to penetrate the otherwise dark North building. Circulation cascades with the site to create a gradual, leisurely journey through the spaces.

INTERIOR + EXTERIOR EXPERIENCE The gap between the gallery and the existing mural serves as a place for people to turn the building that houses the art into artwork itself. A brick facade takes its cue from the surrounding buildings. Glass pivot doors at the south face allow interaction between the gallery and black box, such as during festivals or large concerts.

SHARE + CELEBRATE In the negative space between the south building, north building, and existing building, a celebration of community takes place. In recognition of Kansas City’s trademark murals, the gallery (a house for artwork) becomes a canvas for artwork as well. The exterior material choices lend themselves to artistic expression while fitting in to the neighborhood’s context. The Art of Humanity Center simply houses what the neighborhood already offers: culture and creativity. With the AOH Center, the neighborhood residents now have the space and place to both share and celebrate who they are.

SITE ANALYSIS & CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
34
On West Campus of KU in Lawrence, KS, an open field called Pioneer Cemetery provides the land for a hypothetical, nondenominational chapel. The site, however, lacks trees. Nature is often a spiritual pathway for many people, so it seemed important to allow the chapel to become the missing piece.
TION CHAPEL PROJECT BRIEF
Kent Spreckelmeyer | Fall 2019 Nondenominational Chapel Pioneer Cemetery | Lawrence, KS 2,000 sf
SUMMARY
The plan, elevation, and structural logic were inspired by what the site was lacking: trees. With wood construction, the chapel moderates light from above but limits visual distraction. This relates to the way that trees mediate light and sound to create a serene, rich experience.
CAMPUS PARKING
KEY LEARNING OUTCOME
Plan, section, and elevation can all have a meaningful relationship that contribute to the overall concept of a design. N
