The first year of learning architecture provided a foundation for creating a space using lines, planes, and volumes. Using a combination of physical models and analytical drawings, in-depth analyses of spaces are able to be finely constructed.

DESIGN INTENTION The Green Studio is incredibly small, taking up a meager thirty-two square meters. The Green Studio boasts a “Green“ design, with little to no heating required and a rooftop garden. It was designed and built in under a year, saving time for those who use it.

BODY OF WORK

Fraher Architects focus primarily on the utilization of the sun’s natural lighting. Most of their projects feature floor-to-cieling windows or skylights that fill a space with sunlight. The project above, The Wildflower Meadow Barn Sussex, also hosts a rooftop garden and skylights.

Since the studio is not very tall, some of the sunlight it receives is blocked by the surrounding residential buildings. The studio is squeezed to the North side of the site to allow for the best daylight through the use of glazing on the slanted roof, maximizing the amount of daylight the studio can receive.

THE GREEN STUDIO
GLAZE
LONDON, UK 2013 DESIGNED BY FRAHER ARCHITECTS_STUDIED BY ANDREW DUNN & MAGGIE MING
The exterior of the Green Studio is covered in a glaze that helps reduce the amount of heat from direct sunlight, which aids in cooling costs during the summer. Desks inside face the wall, allowing light to spill softly onto the deskspace.
GREEN ROOF The rooftop of the Green Studio is green space to compensate for the lost vegetation when the studio was built. Metal mesh holds the soil and vegetation in place, and the plants collect excess water when it rains. The Green Studio green roof layer detail
www.ArchDaily.com The layers holding the vegetation in place is only 20cm thick, while most rooftop gardens need 55cm of layering to support the plants. Insulation, waterproof membrane, and framing structure are all combines into one layer. The Green Studio’s slanted roof allows water to run off, eliminating the need for drainage and storage layers.

NEIGHBORING SPACE
Typical green roof layer detail
The Green Studio is attached to its neighboring building, which is living space, on the North side.
www.ArchDaily.com
Construction detail showing how the studio is structured next to the neighboring space, which is property of the designer. This allowed the builder to make a groove into the existing wall, providing a perfectly sealed gap that flashes water away from the two buildings.
The pre-existing building will continue to slightly shift positions as the years go on, while the studio will not due to its small size. The wall of the studio was most likely pre-fabricated and swung up to the wall of the neighboring building and attached with steel cables, while concrete was poured to support the other walls of the studio.

THE GREEN STUDIO
COLOR
LONDON, UK 2013 DESIGNED BY FRAHER ARCHITECTS_STUDIED BY ANDREW DUNN & MAGGIE MING
One major interior design choice is the bright white color on the walls. This allows the daylight from the apertures to be softly reflected throughout the studio.
APERTURE The most important interior detail of the Green Studio is the aperture that lets natural light into the studio space.
The desks seen in these photos of the Green Studio face away from the aperture, so the designers receive soft reflected light rather than shear daylight. The views through the glazing are facing green space.

INTERIOR Interior detail, showing the light color of plywood steps and furnitures, finely finished concrete floor and white wall. All materials are able to gently reflect daylight, and save energy by utilizing daylight.
ACTIVATION OF SPACE
These photos display how daylight floods through the aperture, gently and evenly reflecting off of the bright white walls. The repeating red on cables and chairs add energy and warmth to the studio. The view of trees through windows and plants inside adorn the Green Studio with delightful green. Photos on this page from www.fra-her.com
The open floor plan of the Green Studio allows for flowing communication between the designers, allowing for increased productivity. The two floors are not separated by a continuous floor plane, but joined with multiple reliefs to allow for communication. Cable detail is a linear design language that provides some separation between spaces, while not completely blocking sight and sound.
The drawers set into the staircase allow for more storage space, while allowing the designers to actiely use the area underneath the staircase.

urban aquarium for this project, we were given an abandoned parking garage in the middle of downtown Cincinnati as the site. I inserted an aquarium tank into the core of the garage, allowing guests to walk up the floors and progress vertically through exhibits. Upon reaching the zenith of the tank, the user is placed on a large open rooftop with a bar and grille, dining space, and seating for live aquatic shows. Created in Rhino 5 and Illustrator.

northside qigong school situated on an abandoned lot in Northside, Ohio, this series of buildings acts as a school of qigong, the ancient Chinese art of meditation through body movement and controlled breathing. The program called for studios for practice, a meditation area, and a dwelling unit for the masters of the practice. Forms of the structures are iterations of origami studies previouslt conducted. Made with Rhino 5 and Illustrator.

piloti house this project stems from a precedent study in our modern housing portion of studio. The house is divided into spaces by pilotis reminiscent of Le Corbusier’s Unite d’Habitation in France. The challenge was to create a row house in a long, narrow lot with callbacks to the design studied previously. Programmed for a family of four, with the possible expansion for a third child on the way. 15

The majority of my time outside of studio is spent working at Menards, the massive home improvement store chain based in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. I sold building materials to local contractors and assisted store guests with projects ranging from simply laying pavers on a patio to shingling a roof. I worked at a rather high-traffic Menards located in Evendale Ohio, which allowed for a wide variety of experiences with handling certain situations. Servicing upset shoppers, teaching do-it-yourselfers how to install a product, and maintaining a clean and organized store were all part of the daily routine. 18
