PROJECT

INTRODUCTION:

PROBLEM

A young, local developer and entrepreneur has been working out of his apartment and growing his business in Greenville, SC. He has realized the need for a separate work space for the benefits of fewer distractions and a more proper place to bring clients. This entrepreneur has envisioned a place to LIVE and WORK within the same building/campus and he intends to take action and do it. He has asked us to propose a building scheme that creates a sustainable, walkable, and efficient place to LIVE and WORK. A place that will create successful entrepreneurs who will LIVE and WORK alongside our own entrepreneur client in the city of Greenville, SC.

INTRODUCTION:

SITE

We chose the site at 911 South Main Street. This site is located beside train tracks, the old Cigar Warehouse, and Fluor Field. These neighbors make it a very interesting place to work. The historic nature of the West End compliments the growth of this portion of downtown very well. Designing in a historic, expanding, and traditionally industrial area allowed for many opportunities to embrace sentimental ideas within a project that is inherently forwardthinking and progressive by nature.

WHY

The places where dreams entered the physical world and grew to unimaginable heights. Often in garages, kitchens, cheap rental space, these are the places that enabled peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ideas to take shape. These places may seem unappealing to the common businessman, but to the entrepreneurs who began their journeys in these odd locations, these places will forever be reminders of their humble beginnings.

HUMBLE BEGINNINGS:

HOW

The LIVE/WORK campus should encourage and enrich the entrepreneurâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dreams and aspirations by providing distinct spaces for living and working. These spaces not only provide physical and mental separation, but also allow for differentiation between active and passive dreaming.

WHAT

A campus of distinctions [visually, metaphorically, physically] between variables of decompression, isolation, collaboration, networking, chance meeting, sleeping, eating, living, dreaming, doing. Achieved by bridging live and work with play. A starting point that will transcend time and stay with the entrepreneur beyond their time as resident.

PASSIVE LIGHTING

SOLATUBES â&#x20AC;&#x153;Solatubes have become the ideal solution for lighting interiors in a cost-effective, energy-efficient and eco-friendly way because they significantly reduce the need for electricity while keeping people connected to the outdoor environment.â&#x20AC;? The building uses solatubes to bring in natural light to provide visibility within the atrium and main office spaces.

STUDY:

SUN ANGLES Sun angles in the winter and summer are very different and therefore require a flexible solution to shade in the summer and welcome in the winter.

APPLICATION:

SUN SHADES Sun shade solution offers a more horizontal plane at the top to filter the higher angled and farther reaching summer sun whilst allowing the lower angled winter sun.

HVAC SYSTEMS

SYSTEM 01:

CONSTANT AIR VOLUME

The WORK portion of the building uses Constant Air Volume system. A rooftop unit whose ducts are located within the structural core of the offices contains the necessary components of boilers, chilled water, chimney, and fan. A CAV system was used for benefits of simplicity, ease of maintenance, and control of air quality.

AIR VOLUME

The LIVE portion of the building uses a Variable Air Volume system. A rooftop unit whose ducts are located within the mechanical chases of each residential unit contains the necessary components of boilers, chilled water, chimney, and fan. A VAV system was used for benefits of balanced temperature control at an economical rate.

STRUCTURE

2 TYPES OF

SYSTEMS

STEEL COLUMN+BEAM PRE-FAB SIPS Two different structure types integrate within the building. A gridded steel column+beam system supports the office building and much of the atrium space while a pre-fabricated SIP system connects and supports the garages of the atrium while relying upon the structure of the office.

LIVE

Personal garages between units allow for residents to store items and interact with neighbors. The nature of the atrium allows for chance-meeting and improvised community gathering. The spaciousness of the garage itself allows for residents to store items or undertake tasks that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit for the inside apartment, much like a traditional suburban garage.

GARAGE ::

WORK

Each resident is given a working garage within the office levels. This garage allows for private, secure, and intimate working that also allows for a certain level of collaboration if the user chooses. This flexible work space is designed to function effectively for the individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preferences.

PLAY

Many garages are open to flexible play. These spaces can be used as event spaces, large-format work, mixers, tailgating, etc. These garages are meant to work for anybody and everybody.
