This was a four week study during my time at the University of Cincinnati. The main focus of the studio was residential design. This quick iterative project was to challenge students to address the specific needs of a client in a timely manner. Located in the historical neighborhood of Covington, Kentucky, the site consisted of an existing bungalow that the current owners were looking to develop into single family townhouses. The site was broken up into three different sites each 25’ X 125’. Students were assigned a specific client program depending upon the site they were assigned to. My client consisted of a gardener who wished to have three gardens throughout the property, all in different primary sun orientations. The challenge of this begin, site B which was situated in the middle of the other two sites, which did not allow for much direct sunlight. In order to achieve the desired program I did various site studies to guarantee maximum lighting conditions. The primary circulation was brought to the right side of the property to leave the floor plan open and airy to optimize views and light. Leaving views from each room into one or more of the garden spaces. This modern home is unsuspected garden oasis.

SITE ANALYSIS
Located in the historical neighborhood of Covington, Kentucky the site was home to an existing bungalow. The rest of the street features two story townhouses to the east and an apartment complex to the west and a traffic heavy bridge. While trying to develop a design to respond to the existing context it was also important to take in environmental factors. The property was located in a heavy flood area where the flood level can reach up to 20’ above the average river level.

This pre-junior year project was a study on program manipulation. Students were tasked with creating a new boathouse and training facility for the Cincinnati Rowing Club. The project challenged students to design a recreational facility and campus to house the Cincinnati Jr Rowing Club within a unique site condition. A levee essentially splitting the site into two. The site was also completely undeveloped. Our building design was to be the first step in developing the massive site. The building was to work with the site and treat it as an object to be designed with, not simply within, giving special consideration to the overall scale of the site. The facility was to include rowing tanks, training facilities, indoor and outdoor boat storage, a dock and a community rental element, as well as other community spaces to be designed how the student saw fit. The challenge of the project was to create incorporate such a small program into a large site. I chose to focus my design on the aspect of how the site and program could manipulate my building and the way people interacted with it. Deciding to build on the side of the site adjacent to the river. The challenge, creating a ‘flood proof’ building.

SITE ANALYSIS Located on the edge of the river in Newport, Kentucky, the site had direct views to downtown Cincinnati and the various bridges connecting the two. However, the main portion of rowing competitions would take place on the Licking River, which did not directly face these views. The levee was situated in the middle of the site. It could not be cut into, but was allowed to be penetrated vertically if it did not damage the structural integrity of the levee. Everything to the right of the levee would be situated in the flood plan and everything to the left would not have direct access to the river due to the position of the levee. The most pressing aspect of the Row club was the proximity to the Ohio River, where rowing competitions would take place. However, through research it was found the boats could not be directly placed into the Ohio River due to the strong current, making the Licking River the best option to allow rowers safe access to the river.

BOAT STORAGE The largest and most important program requirement for the row club was storage. That included the various types of boats used in row, and space for rentals for the community. The row team needed an open air storage area and a closed area for competition boats. It was also important that this storage was secure and within close proximate to the water. The rental service area and open air storage were combined, while the competition storage was secluded into its own garage. By separate the storage garage into two areas it allowed for access to both if need be, but created an area specifically designed for the row team.

This multi-family housing project was a two and a half month long project which challenged students to 25 unit mixed use apartment complex. This would be students’ first exposure to a multi unit program. The site that we were giving was larger than needed so students had to figure out a way to maximum the entire site. In keeping with the context of the area, I decided to push the main massing to the streets edge which created an semi private inner court yard for residents and the community to access. In order to draw the community into this space, a smaller more accessible courtyard was created at the main corner of the building. The main floor and lower levels became community based, while still featuring private amenities for residents. Which had the upper two floors for apartments. Ranging from one to three bedrooms, residents gain access to prime views, in-unit laundry, access to an attached restaurant, movie theater, game area, and rec area, complete with a full basketball court.

COURT YARD
PUBLIC ACCESS
The large square site is situated on a 15 foot slope off two main roads near the University of Cincinnati.
In order to keep with surrounding context the main masses were kept to the edge of the site while a large courtyard occupied the middle.
In order to allow public access to the interior courtyard the building was pushed back at the main north corner.
FOOTPRINT
COMMERCIAL
RESIDENTIAL
By cantilevering the residential foot print over the commercial space it allowed for the two floors of apartments maximum square footage areas while creating a private courtyard away from the main street.
To create a public feeling, full floor to ceiling glass was used on the commercial facades. With the structural elements pushed in from the exterior walls the building appears float.
Being the most private area in the building the residential areas feature fins to still allow light in when needed, while creating privacy from the busy street.

COMMUNITY The south side of the property was on the less busy, residential, McMillan street. The back of the restaurant would feature a ten foot high concrete wall. This insured that the space would allow for a private dining experience while still providing light and air to fill the double height patio space. From the southwest end of the complex double height windows allow for views into the basketball courts from the street while allowing light into the space. To combat the solar heat gain the fins from the upper facade extending far enough away from the building so there was no direct heat gain. Adjacent to this space is a recreational entry door, which doubles as fire escape for the restaurant and entry into the apartment complex. Since the rec area is open to anyone in the building, and those with membership access this entry also allows for direct access to use the rec and basketball court area 24/7.

The question was simple, what is the future of the workplace? In order to answer this the competition was to develop a future and respond to the needs of that future through design. Much of this project was dedicated to a two month long research portion which then led to a three week period to design and develop. I started with looking at present trends, which showed more of the population moving into urban populations. With this trend continuing it is only natural that industry and the workplace will follow suit. People want to be near their workplace in order to be as efficient as possible. Manufacturing, historically has been pushed to where space allows it, however this will not be an option when mass production is replaced with mass customization. In order to response to this manufacturing will become urban as well. With mass customization comes the need to iterate and be close to production facilities, as well as consumers needing to communicate their needs easily. In the future, the workplace will encapsulate all programs into one, manufacturing, production, design, and office. Leading to the question of how all of these different programs respond to each other.

This fourth year studio started with the opportunity to travel to eighteen cities in six Eastern European countries for two months. As a traveling studio students studied how various cultures used two of the most common materials, wood and stone. While traveling students had the opportunity to see works by Peter Zumthor, Carlo Scarpa, Otto Wagner, and other impressive works by unknown artists, who all used wood and stone in different ways. Returning mid way through the semester students were then tasked with producing an exhibition that showcased what was seen and what they learned throughout the two month long study. The exhibition would present both work done during the trip and work produced after returning to Cincinnati. The studio became a design build project, where each of the four regions students visited got their own physical representations or ‘detail machines.’ These machines would then be accompanied by other elements to act as anchors. The challenge was to communicate and collaborate as a group of eight-teen students to produce a space that documented the physical and emotional aspects of the trip, while only having a month and a half to curate work.

PHOTO REEL The photo reel was to be the constant element throughout the exhibition. It would feature individual photos students took while on the Holz and Stein trip. The photos were placed in chronological order so that viewers would have a ‘time line’ to lead them through each region of the exhibition. Six individual tripods were the primary structural elements in the photo reel. Each tripod was complete with a custom stone depending on its placement and need for counterweight within the photo reel. On top of each tripod was a reclaimed pulley that acted as a thread for piano wire to be strung to connect each tripod. After 360 of the best student photos were carefully hung on the line to complete the photo reel.

ASSEMBLY With over 300 feet overall, every detail was combed out. One of biggest factors of the photo reel would be the tripods. These were to be set before anything else. The legs were designed to allow stability while not drawing too much attention to themselves. The reel, the top of the tripod, went through various iterations. 12 identical pieces that the wire would be able to be fed through were found. These pieces were reclaimed from a junk yard from old air compressors. The wire strung between the tripods went through various tests to look for overall strength over time. The wire needed to fade into the background so that the photos became the primary focus. The photos were filtered down from over 3,000 photos to 360. The photos were there backed with bristol and attached to piano wire with small aluminum carriage pins.
50
CUSTOM BUILD
In order for the design to remain simple custom steel plates were made to allow for structural stability and to express the connection between each element of the tripod.
51
BOHEMIA DETAIL MACHINE Students were broken up into three groups of six people. Each group was assigned to create a object that would show case a specific region that was visited on the trip. Our group was assigned to Bohemia. While in Bohemia, we realized there was an extensive use of plaster for decorated and use of simple, inexpensive wood for structural elements. As a team we narrowed down six different ornamental expressions used by people in the Bohemia region that we thought best expressed the uses that we saw and the region itself.

SHADOW BOX Each block was cast at 9 x 6 inch then adorned with a specific plaster effect. After being sanded, each plaster casting was placed in a custom ‘shadow box’ that would be fitted with a frame to highlight and showcase the qualities of each casting. The shadow boxes were all made out of wormy pine to express how in Bohemia the structural elements remained unchanged but beautifully decorated on the surface.
54
PRESENTATION
In order to juxtapose the decorated and structural elements of the shadow boxes while still expressing each box individually, the boxes were rotated 30 degrees from each other back to back while begin supported with a red oak base and threaded rods.
55
OVERALL While main contributions included work with the photo reel and the Bohemia detail machine, I also helped with overall layout and install of the exhibition, construction of the map (seen in the background above), video production to show case the stone workshop students attended while in Croatia, and providing various sketches to hang on the walls (seen in the upper left corner).
