Mixed Use Project

In the mixed use project, the massing of the project was first bound by the property lines of the site and alignments with nearby buildings. One of the major aspects of this building was the double courtyard system which would act as the lungs of the building and would allow residents, light, and air, to enter and circulate through the building. The residential parking is below grade and the commercial parking is at grade. On the first floor is the commercial area including retail, a cafe, and a restaurant. Entering through the southern plaza, stairs form a procession up to the second floor where the residential units start. For the unit mix there are 8 studios, 15 two bedrooms, 19 one bedrooms, and 3 cohousing units. The target demographic chosen were expatriates and foreigners. Because of this, there are more social spaces included in this building such as the option for cohousing as well as additional spaces to socialize and interact including rec rooms, laundromats, and the roof terrace. The facade of the building is metal cladding perforated by balconies and windows. The cladding aligns along the columns that appear against the facade and form a grid with the floor plates. Finally, the roof was made to be a green space with both planters and vegetable beds as well as a bocce field shaded by solar panels.

Prefab ADU

With rising prices and decreasing housing availability in Los Angeles, prefabricated accessory dwelling units (ADUs) offer a solution benefiting single residents, small families, homeowners with extra property space, and many others. Through this system, modular units can be prefabricated in factories, transported, and combined into ADUs ranging between 340 and 1020sf. The modules are made of steel frames welded together and to the concrete foundation into a permanent residence once on-site. While factory prefabrication substantially cuts down the time and cost of on-site assembly, the ADUs’ modular design also allows variations based on client preferences.

Each module consists of a steel skeleton and wood framing in one of three sizes: 8.5x20’, 10x20’, and 10x34’. The small ADUs are combined from two of the small modules and can serve as studios for single residents. The medium ADUs are combined from three modules and can serve for single residents or couples, allowing for larger bedrooms and kitchens. Finally, the large ADUS are made up of at least two 10x34’ modules and one to two smaller modules allowing ample living space for couples or small families.

Paddle Bridge - Shion Lackie & Cedric Nuniz

In this project we designed a bridge to create a connection between the horse trails to the north and to our future project site location on the south side of the river. The bridge’s design focuses on creating a distinct path for equestrian and pedestrian users, separating the two paths with an elevation difference and rebar railing. Along the equestrian path are moments of stablelike openings, promoting spaces for horses and riders to look out from the bridge. The form of these windows also denote the presence of water. On the pedestrian path of the bridge, a platform juts out of the tube-like form of the bridge to create a larger open space above the center of the river. A large staircase connects the pedestrian to equestrian path, allowing for both circulation and moments of relaxation and views.

This material allows the bridge to have shade while also having an ample amount of air circulation and views out towards the river and surrounding site. This double-layered skin also creates moments of solidity and openness depending on the angle it is view from. Looking at the bridge straight on, it appears to be light and airy; an almost fabric-like nature. However, when looked at from other sharper angles and entering the bridge, it increasingly begins to appear more solid and heavy. Contrasting effects and appearances gives the bridge users a unique experience throughout the journey, from the moment it is seen from a distance to moments within the bridge.

Aqueduct Facility

– Shion Lackie & Cedric Nuniz

This facility was designed using a system of concrete aqueducts supported by an arcade. The facility is organized around three main datums, which serve to connect to its site and context. Using these connections to form our axes, a system of aqueducts was arranged along a grid of 30’x30’. This grid serves to help delineate the boundaries for program and divide the spaces within this larger complex. Between the buildings is a series of reflective pools which serve to guide the circulation by creating a boundary around the path and also provide additional lighting for the buildings. In the largest pool lays a tower which serves as a central organizing element. The tower contains an observation deck allowing for a 360-degree view around the site. Throughout the site, there are taller aqueducts that are enclosed and serve to carry mechanical equipment and water and shorter aqueducts, to transport people through and around the site along its main axes.
