Woods Hole - Cape Cod Woods Hole is a prominent neighborhood on the Island of Cape Cod. It has a poupar downtown area with many restaurants, and is primarily known for the Ferry Terminal as well as the World Famous Oceanographic Institute. During the summer, it is a bussiling destination with limited public parking (except for ferry goers) . I chose this site because during this quarentine, I have been taking weekend drives around where I live to get a glimpse of the outside - and my route goes right through woodshole. It is a quiet place during the current off season, which is ideal.

Precedents When researching precedents for assignment 7- imidietly I was drawn the the Villa Savoye by Corbusier. Not only do the Pilotes elevate the living area to allow for parking underneath, but it gives the livable area much better views to nature. Additionally the LP1 House by Paz Arquitectura uses concrete to frame the grazing system but also interates a shading system which is attached to the concrete.

Preliminary Design For the preliminary design, I wanted to show the unconventional arrangement of program, with Paking and an entrance space comprising the entire ground floor while the rest of the program shifts to the upper levels. This proposal also consited of a large angled green roof area, which turned out to be a bit unrealistic.

STRUCTURAL SYSTEM For my structural system, I have chosen a two way flat plate in combination with round columns for a more aesthetic look. Two-way Flat plate s are ideal for square and rectangual framing bays as well as residential construction, as spans are typically shorter and Loads are in the Light range, ideal for this system. As can be seen on the chart below, for a minimum column size of 12” with spans between 10-20ft. the slab depth should be 6”. The use of round columns will ground the overhanging volume on the top two stories, allowing the groundfloor to become part car storage. The roof is equipped with a large planter which runs the width of the roof, with drainage at either side with corbusien like concrete gutters. The idea behind the method of flat plate construction, is to give the illusion on the interior that the material of concrete is much lighter than it is.
