The sun often determines the placement and orientation of buildings. With the context of the surrounding buildings and site, the building will receive an abundant amount of shading during the warmer months of the year. Considering the geographic location of Lawrence, Kansas, the building will need to optimize the amount of solar radiation and heat gain during the winter months. This can be achieved by the east and west facades which are typically covered either with operable shading devices or growing vegetation on the curtain wall systems which would provide for shading during the blooming months (see drawings). Also the idea of replacing the building footprint with green roofs was taken to the next level on this project. The idea of a meadow (GROv) which extends into the new greenhouse across the street and onto the top of the existing parking garage. Not only have we replaced our building footprint with a green roof but we are now expanding it onto other areas which in return helps decrease the heat island effect. Distribution throughout the design is achieved in a couple of different ways. For vertical distribution there is a large mechanical room on the ground floor which is oversized but this was done intentionally to allow for room of expansion for the near future if need be. From there the ductwork travels upward until it hits each interstitial space between floors. The interstitial space was not only designed to carry horizontal distribution though. The reason this space was implemented into the design was to allow for the freedom of future residents to move partitions around without having high costs Wind Velocity Range (MPH) involved. This is found to be very successful especially when it comes to HVAC and plumbing configurations for the future. Also, the reason things may change for the future is because members of a Co-housing community are typically allowed the freedom to create their own space and having typical construction methods limits the room for expansion and renovation.
