|Humane Society of Charlotte

Bacon Group, Inc. Animal Facility Architects

Charlotte, NC

Project Description With the growth that the city of Charlotte has been experiencing, the local Humane Society has seen an increase in the amount of animals needing their help. As it is with many animal facilities, the programmatic demands were high with a comparatively low budget. This project had been put on hold for additional fundraising prior to my time at Bacon Group and was starting back

up at the time I was hired. Drastic cuts were made and several floor plan revisions occured before it eventual had to be redeveloped to fit within two conjoined pre-engineered metal buildings. As the design moved forward, we worked to find a balance between what was within budget while still providing a welcoming environment for the community.

|C.A.R.E. Animal Shelter

Bacon Group, Inc. Animal Facility Architects

Ruskin, FL

Project Description Located in Ruskin, FL, this animal shelter’s current facilities consist of several aged structures that have greatly deteriorated over time. The new design consolidates all of the services “under one roof” with spaces designed to last against the wear and tear of not only the animals but the rigorous cleaning routines of an animal shelter.

The client’s primary concern was that

the majority of their workforce consists of older retirees, so there was a focus on esnuring that the new facility would accomodate any physical limitations. Room adjacencies were of the utmost importance and the floor plan was maticulously laid out to make certain that any movement of supplies or animals would be as efficient as possible.

Bacon Group, Inc. Animal Facility Design Consultants

Kettering, OH

Project Description As Animal Facility Design Consultants, Bacon Group, Inc. was tasked with developing a program, designing the exterior elevations, and were responsible for all drawings for the schematic design phase. The project was then further developed by the Levin Porter Architects.

BGI’s responsibilities throughout the design development and construction document phases included equipment layout along with design and

documentation of all animal related spaces.

Once the program was refined and a floor plan was created by Nicole Mirabelli (BGI), I was tasked with producing the Revit model, designing the exterior concepts, and establishing the sectional qualities of the spaces provided in the plan. It was then my responsibility to model and detail all canine and feline features involved in the project.

Personal Responsibilities • • • •

Modeled the project in Revit with use of the plan created by Nicole Mirabelli (BGI) Design of exterior concept and development of the building’s sectional qualities Designed, modeled, and detailed the feline features Modeled and detailed the canine enclosures (slabs, trench drains, and cage enclosures)

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

Vacant ats 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.

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

Sarasota, FL

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 sacriďŹ cing the ocean views. In most housing towers, residents tend to only associate with the few neighbors that live on their oor. 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.

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.

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 inuenced 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.
