Modern Housing Spring 2014 | Elective | 9 Weeks

|Payne Park Housing Project Sarasota, FL.

1 |2

Concept Located just outside of the downtown area, the site is in an area that does not have the urban qualities that the city is striving for. The goal of the project is to establish a precedent of density and public spaces for the surrounding area to grow from. Payne Park resides along the eastern edge of the site and the city feels as though the park has the potential to be the “Central Park� of Sarasota.

To achieve these goals, the design has an elevated gathering space which has access from the entertainment spaces connected to the street.

The residents’ amenities are located above the

public realm while still having a visual connection to the space.

Along Payne Park, the housing units rise above a grand stair that leads down to the green space. Formally, this establishes a feeling of enclosure to the park while also providing a shaded public space below. This ensures a connection between the public space in the project and the park while still allowing the entertainment spaces on the north and south ends to connect to the park.

Variety As a part of the development of this area, the city of Sarasota wants to ensure that housing options are provided for a large range of its citizens. With the addition of many new retail spaces, there is a demand for workforce housing.

The city does not want this to be an area that only the rich can afford with many of the people who work here having long commutes. With this in mind, there is also a demand for luxury units. To resolve this issue the design has units ranging from smaller, studio apartments to larger, multi-bedroom luxury apartments.

Concept To take advantage of Florida’s beautiful weather, the pool becomes a part of every activity on the ground floor. The water penetrates the footprint of the building, becoming a part of the residents’ day to day routine. Multi-pane sliding glass doors are used to make the edge of the dining area disappear and the first level is able to transform from an interior space to a fully integrated part of the exterior portions of the house.

Early in the design phase, the materiality was investigated, establishing a more enclosed system of wooden masses for the private spaces and a punctured, more transparent system of white stucco and glass for the gathering spaces.

Screen systems and sliding glass doors do not only open the spaces but allow for air to flow through the spaces, keeping the exterior areas cool and enjoyable in the hot Florida weather.

|Port Tampa City Library Addn.

Core Design III Fall 2013 | Studio | 9 Weeks

Tampa, FL.

23 |24

Concept The project called for an addition to the existing Port of Tampa City Library. The new program doubles the square footage of the existing library and forced expansion into the surrounding parking lot. For the addition, the main focus is on creating a series of spaces that envelop a central courtyard. This allows for an interaction between all of the spaces across the different levels of the structure. The openness of the design and variety of multi-use spaces promote experiencing the

library as a whole instead of focusing on one part of the library.

By pulling from the structural lines of the original library, a grid is formed that organizes the spaces of the addition. The design also focuses on opening up the floor plan of the original library and celebrating the grand space that is already exists.

The new program is then inserted while remaining respectful of the many features of this historical library.

25 |26

Humble Connections To show respect to the original building, the new architecture that is being used within the old library hovers just off the interior walls. Remaining as transparent as possible, the new spaces promote interaction with the library employees while showcasing the structure that lies behind. In contrast to how the program was originally placed in the library, which divides the space into many smaller ones, everything is moved outward to allow the space to feel more unified and expansive.

Adv. Design B Fall 2014 | Studio | 18 Weeks

London, England

Concept East London is currently in a state of gentrification and as new developments arise, the established culture is suffering. There is outrage, as people are being up-rooted from their homes.

Vacant flats are taking their place, and are purely being purchased as investment properties. The program for this design demands a variety of housing options to alleviate this effect.

To integrate the old with the new, this design takes advantage of single loaded corridors, each servicing three levels. All of the unit types share the same hallways providing more opportunities for interaction among all of the residents, promoting a sense of equality. While meeting the social needs of the building, this also allows for units to have views from both sides of the structure.

Level 1

Community Stratford is an area that is collectively displeased with many of the new housing towers that are being built in the area. These buildings are seen as massive monuments to the destruction of their community, many of which do nothing to contribute to the area once they are completed.

As a solution to this issue, this design not only focuses on the individual units themselves, but it also provides for the surrounding community. By integrating vertical greenhouses into the tower, this design becomes a beacon of fresh, locally

grown food. At its’ base resides a market along with a large amount of retail spaces.

The new avenue of storefronts, on the first and second levels, creates opportunities for restaurants with farm to table cuisine options.

Along with this new source of food there will also be many job opportunities available for the local community. Although this structure will redefine this area’s skyline, its neighbors will be able to look at it as a part of their community.

|Sarasota Vertical Neighborhood

Adv. Design D Fall 2015 | Option Studio | 6 Weeks

Sarasota, FL.

57 |58

Concept Located just off of Bayfront Drive in Sarasota, the site has access to beautiful views of Sarasota Bay along with the Gulf of Mexico. In the other direction are views of downtown Sarasota with few buildings inbetween that rise above two or three stories to obstruct any sight lines.

The focus of this design is to create a vertical neighborhood without sacrificing the ocean views. In most housing towers, residents tend to only associate with the few neighbors that live on their floor. For this project, each unit has its own veranda that acts as and exterior dining and entertainment space, which is visible to other

units while also shielding private spaces from neighboring units.

The idea is that when people have social gatherings in these spaces, their semi-public events become a part of the facade. As one looks out from their unit, they do not only see architecture as their surroundings, but the life of the neighborhood as well. Of course, people like their privacy, so each unit type was designed to only reveal the exterior gathering spaces while maintaining privacy for the bedrooms and other private spaces.

59 |60

Unit 1 - 1 Bedroom

Concept The two unit types shown (six total), demonstrate how the veranda is used as an entertaining, dining, and entry space. The kitchen takes advantage of large folding glass walls to become an extention of the exterior space.

As one moves closer to the bedrooms each layout has a media room that acts as a buffer between the private and gathering spaces. A traditional living room would normal be placed near the exterior spaces for the most light, however, this design looks into how we use those spaces in contemporary times. These units provide a space to relax on the couch and watch a movie, while also providing a spacious area where one can read a book and enjoy the ocean breeze.

Tampa, FL.

Concept With the current building at capacity, this design proposes a renovation of the current School of Architecture and Community Design building along with an additional building replacing the neighboring parking lot. The site boasts a collection of fully grown trees which heavily influenced the form of the design. The structure works its way between the trees and current SA+CD building. The majority of the structure is lifted above the ground level to allow pedestrians to easily navigate the site.

The U-shaped design not only allows for the mature trees to become a part of the spaces within but also creates a courtyard that will serve as an anchor for student socialization. With windows lining the north and south exposures, the building remains transparent to the pedestrian path just south of the site and allows for sight lines from studio to studio. With studio culture being such an integral part of SA+CD, students can easily see others as they work while also displaying their creations to those who pass by.
