[Modular] Mobility focuses on being just as effective as a part of the dynamic future of the city of Charlotte as it is on the day it is constructed. On the scale of the building, the inherent nature of modular components allows for reasonable disassembly and potential reuse of materials post-occupation.
At the building’s original form, the EUI was 104 kBtu/sf/yr. After maximizing the use of passive design strategies and an introducing an efficient variable refrigerant flow mechanical system, the EUI had been reduced to 29 kBtu/sf/yr. On-site energy production partnered with the implementation of program-specific building occupation schedules allowed the final net EUI to be reduced to 14 kBtu/sf/yr.
Each of the 100+ housing units is entirely constructed off-site, delivered to the site via train, and lifted into the CLT structure that would be erected on site. This model leads to great efficiency over the life of the project, reducing construction time by up to 50% and construction costs by up to 20%, while also reducing material waste and limiting errors in the field.
Additionally, open-air residential floors begin to address the seemingly inevitable conditions of designing in a post-pandemic world. On the scale of the city, the location of the site fully invests the project in the promotion of upward social mobility for the city’s residents.

DESIGN FOR ECOSYSTEMS
The total potential carbon benefit of using a mass timber structural system on the project is estimated to be roughly 16,800 metric tons of carbon. This is equivalent to removing 3,206 passenger vehicles from US roads for 1 year or the energy to operate the average US household for 1,427 years.
The project site lies at the intersection of multiple existing and future transit lines that make up a comprehensive transit network, giving those who occupy the affordable housing units much greater access to work, education, and healthcare. With a walk score of 91, occupants of the site are in very close proximity to all of the city’s resources.
A large bioswale at the front of the site introduces a large green area to the street edge. This bioswale serves as a point of rainwater collection, as a home for local species and as a place of gathering for local residents. Mulch Layer

CONNECTING THE UPTOWN CHARLOTTE COMMUNITY TO ITS LOCAL FOOD SOURCES
CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA SPRING 2019 NICK AULT DAVIS MILLARD
The northern facade of the building will not receive direct sunlight and thus creates comfortable environments for people to work and relax. Strong views back into the city make this area of the floor plate and ideal place to hang out.
The exterior skin of the building is a steel diagrid assembly with Onyx Solar amorphous silicone PV glass. The diagrid serves to structure the building but also deflects sunlight before it can penetrate into the interior of the building. This deflection reduces heat gain throughout the day, limiting the need for artificial cooling. The PV glass allows the sun’s energy to be absorbed and translated into clean energy.
A compact building core houses the spaces essential to the building’s proper functioning. Public restrooms, mechanical, IDF, and riser rooms, elevators, fire escape stairs are efficiently arranged to take up as little rooms as possible.
On each of the green floors, there is a collection of HydroPods. These pods are where all of the on site, hydroponic food production happens. An integrated rainwater collection system distributes water to these pods as needed for food production.

The building is divided into six tenant spaces, each consisting of a varying number of traditional office floors and one ‘green’ floor. A system of constructed wetlands on each green floor filters and reuses rainwater, reducing long term operational costs. Additionally, the expansive southern façade is covered with vegetation, providing shade and thus reducing heating loads and energy costs.

A Doubly curved curtain wall mullion system that defines the unique shape of the HydroPods on each green floor. The curved nature of the form seeks to mimic that of a tree trunk, playing on the interchange between the natural and artificial vegetation that fills the building. Each of the pods can be viewed from the exterior of the building at night when the growth illumination becomes visible.
Custom trellised walls allow for the hydroponic growth of vining and non-vining plants. The vining plants climb the trellis while the non-vining can be nested in the wall’s geometry. At the base of each trellis is a basin that holds water and distributes it to the plants above as they need it. The rainwater collection system is piped into the bottom of each of these basins, thus eliminating the need for human intervention.
Designated Water Holding Tank
The round footprint of each HydroPod varies in size and allows for optimal viewing of each hydroponic growth system for occupants of the building. HydroHub CLT focuses bringing the design and functionality of its program components to the foreground so that they may be experienced and interacted with by the community. This interactivity will promote a sense of public engagement and education about the processes of healthy eating and sustainable food growth.
The rainwater collection system directly feeds the HydroPods. Water is collected at each terrace on the southern face of the building, as well as on the roof, and is filtered through an integrated system of constructed wetlands. The water is then stored in large tanks on each floor. As needed, this water is then pumped to the pods on that floor, reducing the unnecessary logistics associated with a central holding tank in the basement.
