Finish Photography by Corey Gaffer Architectural Photography
Studio 804 is a graduate capstone studio at the University of Kansas. Led by JL Constant Distinguished Professor, Dan Rockhill, the one-of-a-kind studio educates students through hands-on building experience. The class of 2019 was comprised of 15 graduate students who completed all stages of design and construction, from formwork to finishes. In its 24th year, Studio 804 continues in its mission to erect buildings through the creation of sustainable architecture with a high level of craft, exceeding traditional design models, promoting the creative use of materials, and utilizing innovative technologies. The amount of involvement and experience gained in this studio is invaluable. My personal roles in the studio included head of wall and roof assembly detail design and installation effort. Before construction began, I took charge of researching, sourcing, and planning for the installation of wall and roof components. Foundation, continuous, and cavity insulation, waterproofing membranes, and sheathing were all included in my main responsibilities. Drawing construction details for these elements while following LEED Platinum guidelines was an integral part of the design process. Other tasks I were heavily involved in include preparation and installation of all wood siding and decking, hardwood floor and interior finish installation. Aside from duties as a student laborer, I designed and produced marketing materials for the studio.
M O CKUP S / FORM W O RK September 2018 - October 2018
FO UNDAT IO N October 2018
After design and construction documents were complete, in September 2018 we started to mock up our building details. Window openings, roof and wall junctions, standing seam cladding, flashing, and decking were some of the details that were fabricated in our warehouse to test their constructibility and effectiveness prior to on-site construction. We also pre-fabricated all formwork in our warehouse.
In mid October 2018, both sites were excavated and footings were poured. Next, pre-fabricated formwork was transported from the warehouse and assembled for the stem wall pour. Gravel, vapor and radar barrier, drainage mat, and pipes were added around the foundation. 2� XPS insulation was added on both sides of the stem walls. The foundation R-value exceeded LEED Platinum requirements.
FRA MI NG October 2018 - November 2018
CONTINUOUS INSULATION / VAPOR BAR RI ERS December 2018
TJIs and subfloor were installed at the end of October 2018. Pre-fabricated framed walls were transported to site. Each wall was placed, made square and plumb, and secured. Ridge beams were placed and rafters were installed. 2x12 rafters were chosen to increase the depth of cavity insulation for higher R-values. The houses were sheathed in OSB. Framing continued through November 2018.
In December 2018, sheathing seams were caulked, and fluid applied air and water membrane was painted on. Rigid polyiso insulated panels were then installed on the roof and walls. A high temperature water resistive barrier (WRB) was used as underlayment for the metal standing seam roof and walls. While, a solid black WRB was used behind an open rainscreen. Custom steel curtain wall was set in place.

CU RTA I N WAL L / I NT ERI OR FI N I SHES February 2019 - March 2019
Once we were under roof in January 2019, electrical work began. Students ran all wiring in the house and made up the electrical panel. Simultaneously, lineset was being ran for the ductless heating and cooling system. With wiring complete, an air barrier membrane was stapled to all exterior studs and rafters to hold the dense pack insulation. Cellulose filled all exterior wall and roof cavities.
In February 2019, drywall was installed, finished, and painted. Custom barn doors were fabricated in our warehouse from flooring material and hung in place. IGUs were set in custom curtain wall with pressure plates. In March 2019, tile work began in the bathrooms and mechanical rooms. White oak hardwood was laid in both houses. Flooring material was also used as a custom baseboard.
M ETAL STAN DIN G SE AM / SI T E W ORK April 2019
SA SSAFRAS SI DI N G / DECK I N G April 2019 - May 2019
Metal flashings and gutters were installed for positive drainage. Galvanized steel standing seam panels were installed on the roof and walls. Plumbing fixtures, kitchen appliances, and cabinets were installed. Carport framing was completed. Site work including deck piers, french drain, and driveways was completed in April 2019. For 1503 Oak Hill Ave, slim tire tracks were used to gain LEED points for a pervious site.
In April & May 2019, sassafras siding and decking were installed. 2� strips of sassafras were milled to size and with a beveled edge to direct water outward in the rain screen system. 3 1/2� wide deck planks of sassafras were laid atop deck joists. Sod was laid, trees were planted and interior finishing touches were wrapped up for graduation and open house in May 2019. Both homes were deeded separately and put on the market for sale.

LEED PLATI N UM Working closely with a Green Rater, we were able to achieve LEED Platinum status for both homes. All aspects of site management, material selection, envelope design, and appliance and systems specifications were carefully monitored to gain vital points for the LEED scoresheet. The Oak Hill Avenue residences are Studio 804’s twelfth and thirteenth LEED Platinum projects. 1

MINNEAPOLIS SKYSCRAPER Downtown Residential, Commercial, and OfямБce Spaces

OPEN / PARKING
The Midwestern metropolis of Minneapolis is home to a collection of skyscrapers, sports stadiums, civic centers, skyways, and greenscape. The “T-squared” towers combine modern living and working, Nordic culture, green facades, and social interaction. Two towers embrace the cultural fabric of the city at both macro and micro scales. A comprehensive exploration of the skyscraper is displayed in a series of analytical drawings. This studio began with a trip to Minneapolis where we explored the city, noted traffic patterns, visited the newest high rises, and got insight into the city’s design culture. Our January visit gave us ample opportunity to utilize the city’s unique skyway system. A thorough site visit provided a chance to learn Minneapolis history, trends, culture, and public and private needs to integrate into our tower design. Every aspect of design pulls from small and large scale site characteristics which makes the “T-Squared” towers perfectly suited for its precise location. This project was shared between a partner and myself. Our project was chosen by our professor to advance into a school-wide competition.
PRO CES S DI AGRA MS A series of diagrams breaks down the conceptual and technical aspects of the tower. From initial form to glass specifications, these simplified diagrams provide an elevator pitch; a quick understanding of the building.
F. A.R. Initial tower design begins with city codes and F.A.R. requirements. The zoning of this site has an F.A.R. of 10. In lieu of creating one large monolithic tower, to keep with the language of the neighborhood and city skyline, two towers were created.
TO WE R FORM Tower forms are created by connecting corners of different shapes. A growing and twisting facade is created on the inner facing sides. A bridge connects the two main tower forms and creates a canopy for the plaza below. Form placement directs foot traffic through a central plaza.
SKYWAY SY S TEM The expansive temperature controlled “sidewalk” hovers 25’ above street level. Along the path are corporate businesses, food/beverage, and retail shops. New towers in the city stay competitive by integrating the skyway system into their buildings.
NO RD IC HERI TAG E A key element of Nordic architecture is a central fire for keeping warm through tough northern winters. The inner faces of the facade are clad in warm-toned wood to emphasize a central gathering plaza, and to connect to local vernacular.
TO WE R PROGRAM The program requirements included the following: Food and Beverage Residential Mechanical Office Lobby
DOUBLE SKI N A double skin hovers 2 feet outside of the main tower body. The secondary steel and glass system are held by steel tubes and cables. The delicate slope of the mullion system follows the roof angles, all leading to the main gathering space.
G LASS OPACI TY The main tower IGUs are composed of highly transparent glass to allow for higher visibility at street level. Highly reflective glass on the double skin gives privacy to residents and reflects neighboring towers in the skyline. Each glass type serves the city at a different scale.
TEM PERAT URE CO NT ROL The double skin facade naturally ventilates with northern winds. In summer, the sun reflects off the reflective glass and cool winds sweep away any lingering heat. In winter months, thermal heat gets trapped in the double facade and circulates for a natural heat source.

MARVIN HALL ADDITION Mass Timber Structure
Addition Entry
Front of Marvin Hall
Back of Marvin Hall, 2014 Studio 804 Addition
Marvin Hall is the home to the School of Architecture and Design at The University of Kansas. Opened in 1909 and features Mount Oread limestone rock quarried on-site. A mass timber addition was added to the south side of the building to accommodate the school’s hands-on design/build learning functions. The connection to Marvin and the adjacent Chalmers Hall is emphasized by bridging between the buildings from the interior. These apparent visual connections create strong ties between the buildings, while showcasing sustainable mass timber elements. The building techniques used provide inspiration and foster an encouraging learning space for design students. Embracing the terrain of Mount Oread helps ground “The Lighthouse on the Hill.”
WA BI SA BI To mend the “broken” Marvin Hall, the Japanese philosophy of wabi sabi is employed to weave the distance spaces together. Like in the ancient principle, the mass timber addition is woven into the historic and loved building to make it beautiful and functional once again. Abstract models demonstrate how broken objects can be revitalized with adornment mending techniques.
