SALT BOX Ecological Research Field Station Partner: Enzo Montecinos

SITE PLAN “The Saltbox” is a multi-functional education and meeting center that supports the mission of the Department of Natural Resources; to promote the use of science to address priority coastal management issues. “The Saltbox” is a living classroom and laboratory for reserve staff, visiting scientist, educators, and students and for the public to explore, learn, conduct research, and volunteer. Monie Bay is a large and relatively undisturbed region which provides excellent habitat for wildlife and numerous opportunities for extensive wetland research.

FLOORPLAN

SECOND FLOOR

Aesthetically the building consists of two identical saltbox roofs which form a courtyard, and then are slightly displaced from one another. The courtyard is a demonstration garden for display and experimentation. The main building consists the office space, collaboration areas and dormitories; whereas the secondary building consists of the two laboratories. Both of the architectural forms are strategically placed on the site due to the existing critical conditions and to take advantage of the orientation of the sun. "The Saltbox" was organized by specific program elements and split into two buildings.

SUN PATH

The building orientation is mostly faced South-West based on the property line and build-able area. The shape of the building is rectangular because there are many benefits of using large areas for solar panels on the facade. The programs in this project are faced mostly to the South for full sunlight intake, while the service areas are placed in the back where the sunlight is not prioritized.

ACTIVE SYSTEMS Each panel is 30” x 60” and able to generate up to 250 watts of electricity for every hour of full sun. The large building accounts for 144 PV panels while the smaller building has 160 PV panels for a total of 304 PV panels facing south. The total area is 4,800.00 ft^2.

The solar panels account for providing 68% of the total energy or 103,656 kWh per year. The mechanical system in each room will turn off when the windows are open to allow for cross ventilation and less loss of energy. This will save in heating/cooling cost. The project integrates 22 geothermal pipes underground behind our building.

LIGHTING PLAN The majority of glass is located on the South facade with 24% for the glass to elevation percentage. The movable wall system has a double function that protects the windows from high winds and allows the users to block out unwanted sunlight. Though protected, visitors are still connected to the outside, experiencing filtered daylight and natural ventilation in every space of the project. The circulation area on the second floor of the main building has operable skylights that allow daylight to luminate the hallway and can be opened for natural ventilation.

HVAC PLAN The mechanical rooms are located centrally to facilitate the distribution of the mechanical system. The VRF fan coil system helps the building reduce the amount of duct that runs through the building, creating un-cluttered exposed ceilings. This system lets each user have control of the temperature of their space as desired. When the room is not in use the system will completely turn off or operate at a lower setting. To save more energy, the mechanical system in each room will turn off when the windows are open.

This entrance is the only way to access both sites of the Carillon development and the metro. The entrance is hidden away by the dense forest canopy that looks uninvited to the public.

Before - Existing Asset Metro Village stitches together the existing, broken fabric of Largo with green streets, parks, and boulevards. Metro Village leverages the metro by densifying development and using green space to create two experiences on either side of the elevated track. The north square spills into the linear wetland park lined with intimate streets. Commuters walk through tree-lined Largo Plaza, guided by the tower towards the south square. The recreational park completes the network of green space that unifies Metro Village and ties it to the greater Largo site.

The current space in the metro is underutulized and wasted of space including the unused parking lot. this space could be converted to potential mixed used development due to the proximity of the public transportation.

Metro Village Travel Poster The most identifiable landmark seen in the most popular way, Metro Village will increase rideship to Largo by defining enjoyable public spaces and dense mixed uses along the metro route.

H E R E T O S TAY The Disaster, Displacement and the Biomimetic Response

Natural disaster can be felt all around the globe especially in the Philippines where millions of people have been displaced without any shelter. With the average of 20 typhoons hitting Philippines each year. People are still living in unsafe structures that affects the day to day of their livelihoods during and after natural disaster. According to Internal Displacement, earthquakes, floods and violence have driven millions away from their homes in 2018 alone. This acceleration in displacement can be felt in cities with growing slums and outdated infrastructure. The project investigated a new integrated urban and building design typology for climate adaptation that uses the Mangrove tree system with 3 stages of Biomimicry as a design principle. This exploration hopes to use as a standard design criteria in the Philippines where typhoon is very prominent.

The site has a low topography land which is very susceptible to flood for up to 3 to 6 feet. The area is completely surrounded by the two existing road, one which is a main highway that connects to Manila and consist of commercial buildings and the back road which is underused. The site itself has a gorgeous background view of Mount Naga Naga.

With the area being susceptible with water table, this is a good opportunity to expand and revitalize the area and turn it into a constructed wetland.

Along with the river, Mt Naga Naga could be used as a watershed for the storm water and a view for the residential. Based on the form of the mountains topography, the trench can collect where the area of the mountain’s topography meets in a concentrated area and can be easily redirect back to the bay area. Along with connecting the watershed with the trench. This will form as a main street for the site connecting the two road and activating the site.

Urban Block Explorations Using diverting shapes and blocks will slow down and break the wind velocity to reduce risk from income prevailing winds and storm surges. the exploration of different patterns gives an insight of possibility manipulating the natural forces.

Urban Grafting To understand the density and the pattern that will be created in the site, it is rather important to establish a new infrastructure in the area that can potentially be expanded and influence nearby areas to follow the guidelines and the urban fabric. By creating overlays on the site, it helps understand the appropriate size of the blocks and the building.

Design Principles/ Vernacular Sketches It is important to consider to incorporate vernacular architecture in the design principles as they have revolves around the cultural and environmental considerations. The vernacular is also seen as a climatic design approach into the hot and tropical environment.

Different forms are also explored to find a way for the wind to diverge around the housing in order to minimize the wind force acting upon impact during typhoons.

The floorplan will provide a mixture of housing units (studio, 2 bedroom and 3 bedroom) to accommodate the different type of tenants ranging from self-independent young professionals to a nuclear family.

With the use of flow design program, it is indicated that the urban form and orientation has successfully diverted and reducing the wind velocity of the incoming prevailing wind and potentially the hurricane high speed winds.

To understand the pattern of the wind, the use of diverting wind based on the placement of the building block is very important in order to withstand the potential high wind velocity incoming from the coastal area. The most appropriate wind diversion is the 45-degree orientation, by facing the corner of the block, it can divide the prevailing wind and transfer the wind to another block that will keep dividing the wind till its weak.

Another advantage to diverting wind is redirecting and allowing cross ventilation to happen in each building block. By layering the wind diverting block like the mangrove system (layering). It will reduce the wind energy while redirecting the wind pattern.

Using local material allows the development to be affordable and blend with the environmen. The material will allow simple techniques when it comes to the construction but still have complex form to produce typhoon proof characteristics.

A closer look of the building block illustrating the wind patterns diverging through the use of 45 degree orientation and slowing down the wind velocity.

The use of transom is integrated in the units to allow natural air to enter. The transom are located at the top of the partition walls and exterior walls. The large opening windows came from the inspiration of the use of large windows from the vernacular architecture were they use it for cross ventilation. The wind flow program gives a better visualization on how the transom window works with cross ventilation.

Dupont Underground Abandoned for over 50 years, this former trolley station below historic Dupont Circle has already been repurposed as an arts organization hub. The future vision for this space is intended to be thoroughly immersed, both physically underground and through its digital media running continuously along its seductively curving interior walls. The concept is simply to attach - to the LED ceiling housing for all necessary mechanical infrastructure (i.e. power, lighting, air conditioning, sprinklers, etc.). The exposed face of the LED screen is envisioned as a continuous digital surface that can be customized and project any image ones desire. A similar strategy will be integrated into the existing track bed to literally wrap the space with digital media.

Harbor House Situated on an irregular site at Thames Street, this multifamily project serves as the connection between the existing and the new by utilizing corten steel to mimic and blend its surroundings. The design bends away from an existing building corner giving priority to the historic structure while maximizing build-able area and harbor views of the waterfront.
