PARK COMMUNITY CHURCH RENOVATION

Let There Be Light

The project involves a comprehensive reevaluation and transformation of a church building that has unintentionally become an architectural museum spanning over 60 years. The current state, with subterranean spaces lacking natural light, dampness issues, and outdated facilities, has prompted a critical reflection on the building’s purpose and relevance. The aim is not to reconsider the traditional ministry but to redefine the church building’s role in the 21st century, acknowledging changing societal patterns and preferences.

Key challenges include the lack of light, especially in the lower levels, and the overall dated atmosphere of the building. The proposal suggests expanding the sanctuary’s waist to increase natural light, exploring options like stained glass or new windows, and potentially repurposing spaces for collaborative workspaces or artistic cooperatives. The west side of the building is identified as having the most potential for useful spaces and increased natural light, emphasizing the importance of comfortable, inviting spaces that foster congregation.

The project faces financial constraints, requiring thoughtful consideration of costs and potential revenue sources. There’s a discussion on whether to renovate, tear down and rebuild, or relocate, with a focus on preserving the positive identity of the current building and maintaining its community connection. Overall, the project seeks to breathe new life into the church building, making it a vibrant and relevant hub for the local community in St. Louis Park.

My Role

- Conducted on-site visits to obtain accurate as-built measurements, enhancing precision in the design

- Developed schematic drawings and diagrams to show understanding of the client’s design brief.

- Worked with other team members to generate the final design proposal.

- Assited in modeling and creating 3D visualizations which was pivotal in aiding clients’ decision-making processes.

THE PANHANDLE EXTENSION

By Extention: Tooling SF’s Weft

Year: Fall 2023

Professor: Andres Ballard

Team: Profit Eneh and Logan Meyer

Location: San Francisco, California, USA

The Panhandle Extension project proposes a transformative vision for the city block located at 1377 Fell Street in San Francisco.

Embracing the city’s forward-thinking approach of discouraging vehicular parking in favor of public transportation, the project aims to repurpose the existing San Francisco DMV space into a dynamic, adaptable urban hub that redefines the conventional boundaries of mixed-use development.

Envisioned as a multifaceted entertainment center with integrated housing units, the design caters to the diverse needs and aspirations of the San Francisco community. The meticulously planned layout incorporates a range of amenities, including a bowling center, an indoor golf simulator, a laser tag house, fine dining establishments, a game arcade, outdoor sports facilities, and a dedicated kids’ play area.

This comprehensive approach extends beyond mere entertainment, fostering community engagement through outdoor eating spaces, an auditorium for events, and other attractions.

The Panhandle Extension project thus emerges not only as an architectural endeavor but as a social catalyst, promoting innovation, economic growth, and a vibrant gathering spot that reflects San Francisco’s resilience and commitment to sustainability.

Roles

- We both worked on concept generation.

- I modeled the exterior facade of the building, designed the site and rendered the 3D views.

- My teammate focused on the interior space planning of this project and also made the physical model.

The main objective of this project is to create a space that invites people to enjoy relaxation and engaging in interesting activities and i believe we succeded in doing that.

Considering the unique landscape of San Francisco, we embraced its natural features, leading to the incorporation of an intriguing slope movement on our site. Our intention was to encourage positive interaction with the space, prompting the inclusion of elevated shops for users to engage with while going around the site.

THE OASIS

Sustainable Building Design (towards Regenerative, Net Positive Design)

Year: Spring 2023

Professor: Ulrike Passe

Team: Profit Eneh and DeMarynee Saili

Location: Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA

The Oasis aims to harmonize with Louisiana’s rich environment, particularly its reliance on the Mississippi River and its historical significance in Baton Rouge. Our building seeks to address the food desert as well as the lack of housing for emerging professionals.

Designed with environmental sustainability in mind, our building minimizes its ground footprint to mitigate water damage from frequent rainfall and lack of proper drainage. This approach ensures resilience against flooding while respecting the delicate balance of local ecosystems.

Situated amidst notable landmarks like the Lincoln Hotel, Lincoln Theater, and historic churches, our project draws inspiration from Baton Rouge’s rich history. We envision our building not just as a structure but as a catalyst for community enrichment.

By aligning with the architectural legacy of the area, we aim to offer programs and spaces that resonate with residents, fostering cultural preservation and community gathering and engagement.

Through thoughtful design and integration with the local context, our project seeks to contribute positively to both the environment and the community, serving as a beacon of sustainability and cultural continuity in Baton Rouge.

My Role

- I contributed at every stage of this project but primarily worked on the concept development, space planning, building modeling, visualization and physical modeling.

THE OSASIS SITE

The layout of the building is carefully designed to minimize its footprint on the ground while also addressing potential water damage concerns. Distinct from the apartment floors above, the ground floor plan is strategically crafted to mitigate flooding risks from excessive rain by incorporating porous surfaces to effectively drain excess water. The ground floor open space serves as a welcoming invitation for all community members to socialize and gather, reinforcing the program’s commitment to inclusivity and communal engagement.

Serving communities is paramount for the Oasis program, evident in its central location within the neighborhood and its efforts to improve walkability. Currently rated at 62 out of 100, the walking score indicates a moderately walkable area, considering factors such as proximity to essential amenities like grocery stores and restaurants, as well as pedestrian and bike friendliness. The Oasis initiative further enhances accessibility through various offerings, including a Farmer’s Market, restaurants, and a convenience market, aimed at alleviating food deserts in Old South Baton Rouge.

Oasis is built to use the wind and shade to keep it cool. In summer, when it’s hot, it doesn’t need a lot of electricity to stay cool because of smart shading. People inside can control the cooling to suit their needs. The building is designed to let air flow naturally inside and around it, so it stays comfortable without using too much energy. We’re proud that Oasis has a low energy use score (EUI) of 100. By using solar panels covering most of the roof, we save 60% of the energy we would normally use. This means we’re doing our part to be eco-friendly and keep our building sustainable. Oasis is a place where people can live and work comfortably while also helping the environment.

The corrugated steel plates act as a shading device that is important for this location. It was designed to support maximum comfort both in the summer and winter months. Through a mechanical system, tenants on each floor can operate the device to accomodate their preference
