Courtyard Hostel

Project Type: Hostel

Location: 201 N Rampart Street

New Orleans, Lousinana

Area: 93,000 sf

Program Use: Revit, Enscape

Professor: Karson Ross

Institution: Tulane University

Task: Design an urban hostel on an existing parking lot. The building needs to follow New Orleans zoning codes which requires at least 30% of open space.

Situated on an infill site in downtown New Orleans, this hostel occupies a narrow plot amidst the bustling cityscape. The site is rich in cultural heritage, characterized by its historic architecture and lively street life. The design aims to complement this context while providing a contemporary, welcoming space for travelers.

The building features a striking central open space, creating a dynamic focal point that enhances both the aesthetic appeal and functionality of the hostel. This central atrium acts as the heart of the hostel, providing ample daylight and a sense of openness in an otherwise compact urban site.

Inside, the hostel is organized to promote interaction and comfort. The ground floor includes a lively common area with a reception desk, lounge spaces, and a café, all oriented around the central atrium. Dormitory rooms and private suites are located on the upper floors, designed for both functionality and comfort. The layout includes flexible spaces that can accommodate various group sizes and needs.

Site Analysis

o1. Massing

The massing is extruded from the site area, which fills between two building block. The total site area is app. 63,000 sf.

o2. Courtyard

The central block void is removed from the solid mass, leaving space for the courtyard which will take up to 30% of open space area.

o3. Lighting and Ventilation

Subtract the mass with the intention to optimize daylighting into the building.

o4. Entrance and Viewing Decks

The recessed entrance enhances shading for anti glaring and rain covering. Viewing decks on both sides for outdoor activities.

Rosedale Apt 01

Project Type: Residential

Professor: Jonathan Tate

Institution: Tulane University

Location: 402 Main Street, Rosedale, MS, 38769, United States Area: 70,000 sf

Program Use: Rhino/ Revit / Vray Render Task: Examine town conditions and site analysis, culminate in the strategic selection of a site for the development of a residential building that impeccably aligns with zoning ordinances.

The architectural endeavor in Rosedale, Mississippi, focuses on the transformation of a previously abandoned residential site into a contemporary and sustainable apartment complex. The site, with its ample greenery, provides a unique opportunity to create a residence that not only meets the needs of the community but also respects and enhances the local ecology.

The design concept revolves around a delicate balance between urban living and nature preservation. The approach involves carving out spaces within the positive massing to accommodate existing trees, ensuring the retention of the site’s natural charm. The juxtaposition of built form and greenery fosters a symbiotic relationship, creating a serene and sustainable living environment.

The design process involves active engagement with the local community to ensure that the apartment complex meets the needs and aspirations of its future residents. Community spaces, gathering areas, and amenities are carefully considered to foster a sense of belonging and enhance the overall quality of life.

Professor: Shane Fowler, Inaki Alday

Institution:

Location: S. Claiborne Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70125, United States

Area: 70,000 sf

Program Use: Rhino/ ArcGIS

Task: Examine town conditions and site analysis, culminate in the strategic selection of a site for the development of a residential building that impeccably aligns with zoning ordinances.

The project aims to transform the Orleans Parish area by addressing critical issues such as insufficient green coverage, inadequate rainwater harvesting, and a lack of walkability and accessibility. The goal is to create a more sustainable, pedestrianfriendly, and aesthetically pleasing urban environment.

The city will be restructured into a series of superblocks and megablocks. These larger urban blocks will redefine traffic flow and street organization, reducing the reliance on vehicles and fostering a more pedestrianoriented environment.

Additionally, incorporating water features, like a small river running alongside the streets, aims to manage rainwater runoff effectively, enhance the area’s aesthetic appeal, and promote more community activities.

Each of the 14 townhomes features a hand-crafted brick facade, a landscaped front entry garden with a private stoop, and multiple private outdoor spaces. Oversized windows imbue living spaces with abundant natural light, and glass doors lead directly from the kitchen to a generous dining terrace.

A beautiful and dramatic stair distributes sunlight throughout the core of the home and draws warm air up and out to create passive cooling. Solid wood treads and a custom-designed handrail make the stair a centerpiece of the townhome. The cohesive design delivers an elegant environment full of everyday indulgences.

Program Use: Rhino/Lumion

Task: Schematic design and collaborate with engineering teams

Single storey house that flaunts a vibrant Scandinavian color palette on a contemporary tropical style in response to the climate of Yangon. Incorporating greenery and minimalistic detailing, design inspiration is derived from immersing onself into nature and sophistication, creating a home that becomes a haven away from the busy city life.

Modern homes in Myanmar have begun to adopt Western contemporary styles and have yet to consider the suitability of the location’s climate and background. To bridge the gap, this house is designed by integrating the minimalistic and impactful Western style with the intricate and comfortable local tropical style to acheive the best of both worlds.
