ESTES & MARSHALL HOME
ASSISTED LIVING FOR VETERANS The following project was created with Lizard Rock Designs. It is an expansion of Estes Garden, an existing assisted living facility for low income adults, in Tucson Arizona. The vacant lot adjacent to the current building would be used as the site for a new facility for the Marshall Home for men, which provides assisted living for veterans. Units will be finished with high efficiency bathroom fixtures, and tile made from recycled content. Highly efficient ductless mechanical units for heating/ cooling will be utilized. Paint, grout, mortar, and construction adhesives used throughout the building will be zero or minimal VOC products. Drought resistant trees and plantings will be used extensively through out community gardens.

MEN & WOMEN While the Marshall Home for Men caters specifically to male veterans in need of housing, the main building has the potential to house both men and women. The East wing can serve male clientele, while the West wing can be converted into a separate housing area for women. The two different wings will both have equal access to the central and shared amenities like the dining and living room, but with separate circulation and bathing facilities. This would allow the project to expand to different user groups.

HEALTH & I N N OVAT I O N C E N T E R This project will serve as a biomedical research facility that also includes opportunities for higher education within the field. The hope is that this project will provide a space for innovation in the health industry and educational outreach programs. The laboratory portion of the project will be dedicated to understanding the health effects of fire. The building will attract younger generations while also giving opportunities for residents to participate and learn about smaller-scale biomedical research. Because of the health and education combination, it will bring in more health professionals which may also spur economic growth within the medical community in Paradise. This project was done in collaboration with another student (Amanda Radner) as well as the whole studio to create a comprehensive town plan with diverse projects for Paradise.
1/4” Section Model HEALTH & INNOVATION
PROJEC T USE RS Because the project has an education portion and a research component, it will serve a large variety of people. One main group of people will be students. Our project is cited adjacent to the Butte Community College extension campus. Students from this college will have the ability to take classes and aid in research at the research center. There will also be various medical professionals who will teach and conduct research in the laboratories. The general public will also be able to utilize the pharmacy, “grab and go� cafe, open courtyard, and demonstration lab. General public users will also be able to attend lectures on health and safety after the Camp Fire. And in case of any emergency, flexible space will function for pop up medical clinics and storage for supplies, for the residents of Paradise.

Patient Care Research Education
Rhino and Illustrator diagram
The project is sited within the scope of a larger medical campus, that could be built in phases as Paradise begins to recover. It is made up of a balanced mix of patient care, research, and education programs, that creates a cohesive and successful neighborhood. It also includes public parking and open green space for users to utilize. The campus is cited across from the proposed downtown, where there will be the highest density of people, and adjacent to Skyway Rd., for easy travel for emergency vehicles. Before the fire, Paradise was known for the great health care providers and hospitals. A new centralized medical campus can build upon and re-invigorate that reputation. The medical campus will also spur economic growth and resiliency within the town, as medical professionals move to Paradise. It will also serve current Paradise residents, who on average are older and need easy access to health care. Because of Paradise’s proximity to Chico State and Butte College, the medical campus could offer classes and learning opportunities for students interested in the health care industry, encouraging younger generations to move to Paradise. Paradise is also surrounded by smaller towns like Magalia, who could utilize the facilities and services offered at the medical campus.

PROJEC T PROGR A M The project in its most basic form is comprised of two programmatic bars, one of laboratories and the other filled with classrooms. The HVAC, lighting, and climactic needs of each programmatic bar helped to dictate locations of classrooms vs. laboratories. The classroom “bar� is furthest from the downtown, to encourage those coming to learn from downtown to cross through the entirety of the building and the lobby spaces. The laboratories bar is furthest from the medical campus, which forces medical professionals to cross through the back entrance on the second floor, and into the courtyard. By flipping the placement of the bars, it connects the two main user groups and activates the center of the project with people and circulation

THIRD FLOOR
TRANSVERSE SECTIONS Sectionally, the project uses large windows on the north side, for even daylight in the classroom spaces. The classrooms also use raised floor natural ventilation, capitalizing on primary winds from the north east, combined with radiant floor heating. Hot air is exhausted through a large chimney stack which the stairs attach to. On the south side, laboratories receive daylight through punched openings with shading devices. The higher mechanical load from the labs requires an active air system, with radiant floor heating. Ducts are located above lab support spaces, where ceiling heights can be lower. A second large chimney stack exhausts air from the lab spaces. Solar panels are located on the north roof, above the classrooms, to create a sustainable energy source for the project. A green roof is used above the lab spaces to help with storm water runoff.

Cross Laminated Timber With a history in the timber industry, and close access to the raw material, Paradise makes for a great location to use cross laminated timber. The structural capacities of the material are nearly that of steel, with the added benefits of a more sustainable material, which sequesters carbon, and remains structurally stable in fires because of a natural char layer. The warmth and aesthetic of the material also match that of the local vernacular of Paradise. And since the project program pertains to medical advancements and the human body, including cells, we chose to utilize CLT, a cellular material in and of itself. CLT beams, columns, floors and walls, are used through out the entirety of the project.

Terra cotta baguette (in sun screen system)
Low-e IGU curtain wall
The sun screen system wraps and encloses all of the circulation in the project. Patterning and a varying degree of porosity based on spacing, allows for different levels of visual access. Again, continuing with the cellular theme, the terra cotta baguettes are broken up into cells of sun shading, supported by a steel structure.
A curtain wall sits behind and works in conjunction with the terra cotta sun screen. High performing glazing keeps the envelope tight and circulation enclosed, without sacrificing site lines and still allowing for users to feel as if they were outdoors as they circulate through the project.

SOUTH E L E VAT I O N
The south side of the project incorporates glazing that is shaded by corian fins. The shading’s sizing is optimized to let in sun during the cool winter months, and heat interior spaces, while blocking out unwanted summer sun. The cafe and lobby are majority glazed, to allow site lines through the building from the street, and create a welcoming entrance for users.
NORTH E L E VAT I O N Large areas of glazing make up the composition of the north facade, in order to allow daylight into the classroom spaces. No shading is necessary, besides the few choice corner windows that wrap around the building. A perforated screen at the floor plates allows the building to utilize raised floor natural ventilation.

STRE E T CULTURE HOUSE This project is located in Freden’s Park in Copenhagen Denmark. Freden’s park is a long narrow park between the neighborhoods Nørrebro and Østerbro. The park sits mostly vacant, with the exception of a small playground and people passing through on their way to somewhere else. The premise was to create an innovative, active, and fun architectural project that would serve as a youth culture house. Programmatically the project had to accommodate both standard sports and activities like basketball and art as well as street sports, such as skateboarding and parkour. With an integrated mix of activities, the project aims attract many different types of kids to come play and interact with the project and each other.
BRIDGE HOUSE INFORMATION

PROJEC T USE RS The user group is Copenhagen youth ages six to eighteen. The project aims to invite kids with a variety of interests and backgrounds into the space. Through interviewing sixth graders, Romeo and Philip, a better understanding of user wants and needs was achieved. Their daily habits, interests, favorite existing spaces, all inspired and influenced the project. Spaces for kids interested in street sports like parkour, art space for different crafts, hangout space for kids to relax with one another, music rooms for those interested in music, court space for sports and dance, and outdoor field space to play tag, soccer, or just run around outside. The hope is that this Culture House can provide equal and open access to all types of activities, for all types of kids.

SITE The site of the culture house is located at Freden’s park, a narrow park in Norrebro just north of Copenhagen’s lake (a popular pedestrian destination), between Osterbro and Vesterbro. The park is surrounded by residential buildings, and two large buildings: Rigshospitalet (the main hospital of Copenhagen) and Panum, which is part of the KU (Copenhagen University)to them.

VEHICLE TRAFFIC Freden’s Park lies at the cross section of two heavily trafficked streets, Blegdamsvej which runs East and West, and Fredensgade/Tagensvej which runs North and South. Both streets are consistently used by individual cars as well as public transit buses. This heavy traffic leads to some noise pollution from the street onto the site. The barrier of trees around the park help some, but do not eliminate it.

BIKE TRAFFIC Bike infrastructure is a large component of travel through Copenhagen. For the most part, bike traffic is consistent with vehicle traffic, and is heaviest along Blegdamsvej and Fredensgade/ Tagensvej. There is some bike traffic through the park, mostly along the diagonal path, but it is sporadic.

INTERSECTION
PARK
PEOPLE Currently, Freden’s park is a primarily used as a thoroughfare for people, whether they are walking their dogs or just crossing from point A to B. Very few people stop to stay or gather in the park. Pedestrians use the diagonal path the most, cutting through from one end to the next. Sometimes during the day parents and young children will gather and play around the existing playground. While others gather for a bit by intersections corners, while they wait to cross the street. The park has a few access points, with the main point at the corner of Blegdamsvej and Fredensgade.

SUMMER During the summer time Freden’s park receives full and ample sun between 9 am and 3 pm, without shadows cast from the surrounding buildings.
Rhino & Illustrator diagram
BRIDGE HOUSE
WINTER During the winter, the sun is lower in the sky and the site only receives continuous coverage on the west portion of the park. Early in the day, at 9 am, the Freden’s park is free of shadow, but by 12 pm half is under shade, and by 3 pm it is covered completely by shadows from other buildings. During the winter, the best area to capture sun would be the west portion (represented in the diagram).

EXISTING CONDITIONS The exisiting site, Freden’s Park is an underutilized space. For the most part it remains empty, with little activity except for those passing through. Those who do occupy the space use the park as a means of getting from point A to B. This foot traffic, and sometimes bike, primarily takes place along the diagonal path that crosses the park.
CREATE BRIDGE Lift the ground and create bridges that cross the park, so as to not disrupt existing travel patterns on the site. Insert indoor program beneath the bridge.

PROGRAM The program of this project represents a diverse mix of sports and creative activities, as well space for relaxation and down time. The program also reaches beyond the boundaries of the building into the surrounding park, incorporating court space which can also function as a performance space, skateboarding, a parkour play ground, and open field space. Many of these outdoor activities can also move indoors into the multi-purpose room, if bad weather necessitates it. Indoor activities include spaces for dance, sport, music, art, lounge space, and a changing room. All of which are supported by staff space and back of house programs like toilets and storage.

SITE PLAN The project is composed of a bridge that grows from the ground, moving diagonally across the site, along the main route of site circulation. Project programming sits underneath the bridge, and in three fingers that grow off the main leg. The bridges allow for people to continue to easily cross the park, while also offering an elevated perspective of the activities taking place around them, and allowing them to occupy the roof. Also on the site is open field space for leisure or football, a parkour playground, skate park, court space, jungle gym, as well as seating and sun bathing space.
