GREENHOUSE | RESTAURANT

ICELAND

THIS BUILDING IS AN ENGAGING, EDUCATIONAL, AND HANDS ON EXPERIENCE FOR VISITORS OF ICELAND. BY RESPONDING TO THE VARIOUS SITE VIEWS SUCH AS THE MÝVATN NATURE BATHS AND THE HAVERFJALL VOLCANIC CRATER, THESE TWO BUILDINGS PROVIDE BEAUTIFUL VIEWS TO THE SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT. THE RESTAURANT LOOKS OUT OVER THE BATHS, AND THE GREENHOUSES FACE THE CRATER.

THE RESTAURANT IS DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE GREENHOUSE ALLOWING VISITORS TO PICK THEIR OWN VEGETABLES AND FRUITS FOR THEIR LUNCHES/DINNERS. THERE IS A MULTIPURPOSE SPACE TO EDUCATE THE VISITORS ON HOW THE GREENHOUSE OPERATES, THE USE OF GEO THERMAL ENERGY, AND HOW THE DOUBLE SKIN FAÇADE CREATES A SUSTAINABLE BUILDING.

THE

OVERALL FORM OF THE

IS INSPIRED BY THE VERNACULAR TURF HOUSES IN ICELAND. THE GREENHOUSE, WHICH HOLDS ORGANIC FORMS, HAS A CURVED ROOF LIKE THE SOIL OVER THE TURF HOUSE, WHEREAS THE CONNECTED BUILDING RESEMBLES THE POST AND BEAM STRUCTURE BENEATH THE TURF. ANOTHER COMMON WAY TO BUILD IN ICELAND IS WITH COLORFUL CORRUGATED METAL, WHICH IS ALSO UTILIZED IN THIS STRUCTURE.

SUSTAINABLE FAÇADE SYSTEM MANHATTAN,

NY

AFTER A SEMESTER OF LEARNING ABOUT SUSTAINABLE AND HIGH PERFORMANCE FACADES, I CREATED TWO DIFFERENT DOUBLE SKIN FACADE SYSTEMS ON THE NORTHEAST AND SOUTHEAST FACING WALLS, WITH A HORIZONTAL SHADING SYSTEM FOR THE NORTHEAST SIDE, AND A VERTICAL SHADING SYSTEM ON THE SOUTHEAST SIDE.

BOTH SHADING SYSTEMS ARE MOBILE, AND THERE ARE OPERABLE WINDOWS ON THE EXTERIOR FOR VENTILATION. THE SPACE BETWEEN THE TWO FAÇADES ALLOWS FOR MOVEMENT BETWEEN ROOMS.
