PROJECT:“GREEN ROOM”

STUDENT:JUSTIN GANDY

INSTRUCTOR: CAROLINA MANRIQUE

The Cram is a multi-family residence that houses two or more families under the same roof. The site also includes a restaurant to activate the street corner. Located in Moscow, Idaho this project is adjacent Identity Apartments. This project’s concept is derived from individual room forms, which are then combined to create a single massing. This project incorporates solar panels, tromble walls, lightwells, and native vegetation.

The Cram mimics aspects of its surrounds by taking the circular forms from the Moscow and roughing them up creating silo-like structures that are more angular and edgy.

The Twinhouse was a fun and wonderful project to be a part of. Led by Mark Engberg from COLAB architecture in Portland, Oregon. What made this project unique is that this home is on two seperate plots of land. This project was designed and built by students at the University of Idaho. I was a part of the design team. The team was split in two and we designed the homes seperately as groups in Revit.

The two sides of the home were later combined in Revit where materiality, connection detaisl, window datam lines, and more were established. I was the lead on landscaping, topography, and hydrology. I completed my tasks in Sketchup and then converted it into Revit. I was a huge part of creating the visual aesthetic for this project. Also working in Revit allowed me to improve my revit skills significantly.
