Located right off of Camelback rd, this multi-generational home Encompasses an open concept living/kitchen/dining that encourages family interaction. In contrast, a clear separation of private spaces maintains a balance within the home. The house is aligned with a central axis for circulation with adjacent spaces that stem from it. The inclusion of the major circulation into public spaces eliminates lengthy corridors. The gathering spaces are opened to the north capturing both an optimal amount of natural light and a full view of Camelback Mountain.

overview
PIONEER CEMETERY exhibiting the past
design fundamentals Iv | spring 2012 | 18 weeks professor: johanna collins The social and developmental issues of the era influenced the design concept. The journey of the American Pioneer was a long difficult road. Prospects of copper, farmland and an excitement of novel travels drew people to Arizona. The initial site is split into three sections. Pre 1850, the journey to the new territory, 1850-1912, the adaptation of the new conditions of life, Post 1912, the evolution of the young state and beyond. The program consists of new burial, offices, archives, exhibition space and a memorial wall for those currently buried there.

architectural studio III | spring 2014 | 18 weeks professor: max underwood the traditional Sonoran adobe buildings exhibit Anglo influences through their hipped and gabled roofs. However, their relationship to the street and contiguity reveal their Sonoran origins. This youth center is a place for kids to escape and informally hangout. spaces are provided for creative and technology programs. This creates a healthy environment for kids to relax, interact and learn valuable skills to help them see a better future

work schedule Fire Fighters typically work in one of three ‘shifts’: ‘A-shift,’ ‘B-shift,’ or ‘C-shift.’ Because of these three ‘shifts’ much of the Station infrastructures—Kitchen Refrigerators and Pantries, Dormitory Lockers, etc.—have to be provided in triplicate to serve the staff-members of each ‘shift.’

FIRE STATION 22 a beacon for the community
architectural studio III | fall 2014 | 18 weeks Team member: rebecca manhardt professor: Dennis bree Our fire station is located in south phoenix, serving a disadvantaged community. This rebuild of the local fire station is ultimately an expansion, including a battalion unit, a larger apparatus bay and a community center. the mental health as well as the comfort of the fire men were the driving factors in our design. We developed equal spaces of recovery (dark cool dorms for sleeping) and comradery (the brightly lite kitchen or “the heart of the station”). our specific inclution of a safe teen space was designed after seeing a lack of resources for the disadvantaged youth in the area.

Architects and Designers typically don’t design houses with easy renovation or deconstruction in mind. Homes undergo many renovations over their lifetimes, or complete building removal is carried out to make room for a newer home.

2 weeks design, 12 week build (in progress) team members: Hector rodriguez, Nathan Ewing, Christopher Ewing, Andrew Esparza mentor: patrick McCue This is our entry for the 3rd annual Microdwelling exhibition, which showcases a variety of homes under 600sqft. Home4 is a modular home which focuses on the idea of necessary expansion, meaning you only build as much as you need, and expand when you’re ready. It is a steel frame made of l-beams that are bolted together with wood frame infill walls.
