STRAND HUB STRAND HUB STRAND HUB
NEW YORK CITY, NYIT
FALL 2023
FACULTY: CRYSTAL EKSI
Strand Hub’s concept is based on a “S” strand curve which spreads across three buildings, taking advantage of the adjacent buildings’ air rights to provide enough space to bring the community together at this hub in Brooklyn, NY .
Families, adults, children, and the elderly are welcome to join and experience the public library workspaces or the community and indoor playroom. Residents have the opportunity to appreciate the amenities and accessible rooftop garden to grow their very own fruits and vegetables.
Restoring the community by bringing more activity to the streets, the goal is to provide multi-generational and senior affordable housing to support families through evolving times at the Strand Hub.

Delightful Utopia is a conceptual bathhouse design based on extracting shapes from a painting that develop into three-dimensional vessel structures. The vessels go through a series of transformations to create dynamic forms to act as individual spaces for the bathhouse.
Lighting plays a crucial role in the experience, therefore a screen was develop from cut paper folding studies. During this process, optimizing light in the vessels and playing with the patterns of light was the focus of the study.
The “Vessel Narrative Section” showcasing how a user would walk through the spaces and the final selection of vessels was then carved from an imaginary cubical site on the mountainside.

Terrace Oasis uses a terracing concept inspired by the natural landscapes of the site. The terraced structure promotes a seamless transition between urban and green spaces , creating a cascading flow of functionality, beauty, and community engagement.
The project is for a diverse range of stakeholders with a primary focus on building a sustainable and inclusive community. Adults ages 35-59 are the target group.
By fostering connections between people, their environment, and sustainable practices , this proposed affordable housing development in Bronx, NY represents a blueprint for resilient and community-centered urban development.
ZONING BONUSES
After experimenting with the possibility of using zoning bonuses to increase FAR and providing an enjoyable site experience, ultimately inclusionary housing, privately owned public spaces (POPS), and FRESH food store were used as a way to give back to the community.

The building is located on the south east corner of the site due to it’s ability for pedestrian walkability and vehicular transit. Other locations have heavier vechicular traffic making it not ideal for the community. This location will also provide the most optimal daylighting because of it’s relative location to the sun by facing east, south, and allowing for views to Yankee stadium.
When designing materials and textures that support effective water drainage while meeting ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) requirements, permable pavers were strategically placed to reduce direct water drainage to the main stormwater pipe. In addition, utilizing Nature Based Solutions, a biorentention pond was placed on the north west corner of the site at the natural lowest elevation to collect stormwater runoff on site as well as green roofs and cisterns for the building.
