Seasonal affective disorder affects 10% of people in Seattle due to several factors. The main factor is a lack of sunlight. Our complex’s proposed solutions are implementing a public atrium that utilizes natural light and integrates interior vegetation. Through the atrium plants are kept alive using collected rainwater. The rainiest days then create the interior spectacles. Communal balconies adorned with vegetation and places to gather allow social interaction between occupants.
Reusing rainwater will help reuse an abundant resource but, also change the connotation of rainwater to becomee a source of positivity. Integrating this system throughout our apartment will continue to positivly impact our occupants’ mental health. Furthermore, Seattle averages 37 inches of rain per year allowing ample opportinities to resuse the rain water.
Using our interior atirum rain water is collected through the sloped roof system. The rain water then falls into our interior water collection system. The water is then stored and used throught the building as the waters grey water system. This allows the rain to water plants throughout our building and to be utilized in our bathrooms.
In our floor plans we have included commercial spaces on the second floor to allow for our occupants to gather and to work if needed. In todays reality working from home is a very optimal system now after the Covid-19 pandemic. These commercial and work spaces not only allow for occupants to work outside of their living spaces but also allows for communal interation between our tenants. Our interior Atrium Allows for lot of natural light to enter the space as well as allowing our rain water collection system to be viewed as it collects water throughout the building. In addition each floor has communal balconies that all occupants can use alowing for further interaction together.
To the left is a typical residential room and a glipse at the working/meeting spaces that are included.
With this sun study of the site, we decided to add large sky lights as well as large vertical windows to provide our occupants with alot of sunlight while they work and convene together in our community space.
With seasonal flooding happening near the site from the Missouri Flat Creek we decided to include a raised design for the water to not go in our natural gathering center located in the middle of the design.
We designed the interior space to allow for positive interaction between occupants and nature. With circulation all accesible to the central nature area and the many types of ammenities spread throughout the building we aimed for community work and collaboration.
As an artist my client had requested that I use his artwork and style as an inspiration to the design of his home. WIth his curvilinear artistic style I designed this space to allow him to include his artwork in the design of the home.
With plenty of walls to hang his art, open space to work, and multiple areas to be outdoors and let sunlight in this home is designed to not only dwell in but, to have productive space and space to gather to display his art.
As a class we were challanged to chose a frame from a 9 second annimation and create a design from the frame. This image spoke to me as i saw the opportunity for unique and curvy stair case. As I continued to design the home for my “client” I began to formulate my narrative that my client was an artist that designs with curves. After deciding this I explored more options using curves using different shapes and creating spaces I was able to design floor plans above.
Designing the interiors for the Opera house was important. With large bathrooms and enoguh seating for the many occupants was needed. This resulted in a three floor design in the main building to allow for maximum seating in our opera house.
with the many ammenties that are required for opera houses it was a challenge to add the required areas as well as creating circulation for all occupants to use throughout the building
3182 Salk Institute Rd, La Jolla, CA
Famous scientist Jonas Salk, famous for creating the polio vaccine; inquired about a 1000 square foot house design located in his Institute for him to dwell away from his research.
Designed for natural light and outdoor spaces I designed the perfect getaway for Jonas after he finishes a long day of research. Located centrally in the Institute the site allows Jonas to easily walk to any of the buildings or take a short drive with a short commute.
Project information: 10 week long design project
Professors: Mona Ghandi
With the Salk Institute being located in La Jolla, California, I took inspiration from the surrounding architecture when designing his custom home. Newer buildings are very modern and older buildings follow the old Spanish design style. With both styles in mind, ordering with hierarchy was my main focus in designing his house.
On the site there are many trees and a grassy area, The covered areas in my design allow Jonas and occupants with shade if they were to spend time outside. With California’s hightemperature weather, it was essential to add covered space outdoors.
With such a small space designing an open outdoor space allowed Jonas to take guests to be seated outside yet not feel disconnected from everyone as they can view the inside through the glass windows.
Jonas at heart a scholar, with a built-in home office I allow him to continue to study and read in the comfort of his home.
I was given the floor plans and was tasked to create this 3d model in Revit. Was the first time that I had created a full render from plans on Revit. This project helped me gain positive skills with the UI and utilizing the different tools and family imports that come with the Revit software.
I also was given the task to create elevations from plans and edit plans in AutoCAD. This helped start and gain my understanding and skills in drafting
