Kelly Dervarics Design Portfolio
HUD Innovation in Affordable Housing Competition As part of an interdisciplinary team of master students in planning, real estate and architecture in this competition we were tasked with developing affordable housing for 60% AMI on a 6 acre Santa Fe Housing Authority site. This initial phase of the competition included a detailed pro forma, context research and schematic site and floor plans of the proposed development. I was a part of the design team and coordinating financing with architectural design.

SITE PLAN OF PLAZA FECUNDA
PLAZA FECUNDA WITHIN THE LARGER NEIGHBORHOOD
Plaza Fecunda’s commitment to healthy, livable homes involves conserving rainwater on site, harvesting solar power and building with well-insulated materials. This reduces the energy cost burden for residents.
Wealth Building Plaza Fecunda aims to build prosperity in place and meeet residents where they are. We offer home ownership assistance, financial literacy programs and opportunities for entrepreneurship.

Plants that need protection from hot direct sunlight can be located along East-facing walls South and West-facing walls are great for plants that handle hotter and drier conditions

A consistent unit width allows the facade to be divided into ‘A’ and ‘B’ panelized modules, allowing for difference in materialilty if desired, while standardizing the component parts.
Plaza Fecunda’s sustainable design not only benefits the long-term maintenance of these buildings, it also reduces the energy bill burden on renters and homeowners. According to the American Council for Energy Efficient Economy, low-income households pay 7.2%
of household income on utilities. This is three times as much as higher
income households.
rain barrels
Conserving Rainwater
Santa Fe’s minimal annual rainfall warrants conserving and collecting all that we can at Plaza Fecunda. Sloped gutters from the rooflines carry water into rain barrels that feed into larger cisterns below the playground and gardens. Solar-powered pumps will power the system and distribute water using drip irrigation to the native plants throughout the development. Stormwater management is handled through the use of permeable paving for parking space and paths. Runoff flows into gravel drains assisted by xeriscaping efforts near sidewalks.
PLAZA FECUNDA CONNECTING TO COMMUNITY
BUILDING RESILIENT RESIDENTS
COMMUNITY PARTNERS
Community spaces are supported by a full time resident services coordinator. Programs include daycare, home ownership assistance, financial literacy classes and job readiness training. Homeownership is the main way to build wealth in the U.S., our holistic approach prepares families to adapt to changes while in a stable home and community.

Little Five Points Design Studio Little Five Points is a beloved place of counter-culture within Atlanta that is part of two well-established neighbrohoods, two counties and is bisected by one of the only North-South corridors in the city. It can be seen as the converging point belonging to many groups and at the same time ignored as it has no direct ownership. This planning studio led by Professor Michael Dobbins engaged with business owners, neighborhood residents and visitors of Little Five Points to envision opportunities for a more walkable and people-centric core along Moreland Ave. A draft of our studio report can be found here.
Framework of the report Through meetings with stakeholders from August to October certain issues and areas of focus became apparent that should be addressed within Little Five Points. Our studio developed the following themes of connectivity throughout Little Five Points and economic development in the area. The sections of this report follow this framework:
Connectivity
Crossing Moreland
Economic Development
Findley/Davis Plaza
Businesses in Little Five
Moreland Streetscape
Bass Field Parking
Ramps to Dekalb Active Connectivity
Framework of the report
The main objective for this studio was to apply fresh eyes to longstanding issues and challenges in the area voiced by residents and business owners. In this manner we came up with ideas for each category above that ranged from quick practical fixes to more pie in the sky creative proposals. In an effort to synthesize all of these we applied the below “truth filter” to briefly examine the relative costs and timeframe of the proposal along with the organizational barriers that might emerge to conclude the positive impact the idea would have for Little Five Points.

This path contributesLow to efforts to increase linkages within Little Five Points. It could provide a safer route East to West avoiding the long lights favoring vehicular traffic at Moreland, Euclid and McLendon. This link also creates better connections from the BeltLine and MARTA stations to Little Five Points. The mutli-use path could be paired with wayfinding and branding efforts to increase visitors to L5P and make the field known as a destination. The details of the connection would include a 15 ft. paved path with an accessible ramp from Euclid to Moreland. Landscaping, lighting and furniture would provide moments along the path to gather, sit and chat or read throughout the day. These informal spots along the path can aid L5P in business activity as well as increasing passive time spent in the neighborhood outside of meal times.

Opportunities for connectivity through Bass Field could aid the space in having passive supervision. Entry points for this path to the West could be at the Halleyburton lot or in between Variety Playhouse and Elmyr (as seen below). The East entry point would be North of the Bass Recreation Center tying into bike lane improvements along Moreland and a HAWK crosswalk to the adjacent businesses on the East Moreland streetfront.

PARKING IN LITTLE FIVE Parking Inventory and Utilization Study
PARKING INVENTORY Little Five Points Parking Supply is characterized by
• Development-specific lots, often free for visitors to the specific development • Three large, public pay lots • Free, largely unregulated street parking located in adjacent residential neighborhoods • Public street spaces on Euclid west of Moreland • Regulations that vary widely in their content, clarity, and then serviceability
THE TRADITIONAL PARKING MODEL Parking is a critical component of the built environment in Little Five Points. As a unique commercial destination with regional draw, many patrons of Little Five Points businesses arrive by car. With few alternatives for many customers, parking availability is critical to the economic health of the district. However, parking can also impede healthy street life. Prominent destinations in Little Five Points were built under a traditional parking model, with ample parking onsite, often fronting the lot and separating the development from other destinations and sidewalks. Traditional parking designs make for larger spaces between destinations, and these auto-oriented spaces pose a danger for pedestrians to navigate. Patrons may feel that they need to drive and park directly next to their destination because it feels safer and more convenient than parking once and walking to whichever destination they like. A traditional parking model also forces each building owner to determine parking regulations (restrictions, price and duration). Not only do owners have other obligations to their businesses, they may be inclined to think of their own parking space as an independent unit, not a part of the whole parking supply in a commercial center like Little Five Points. As a result, inconsistent regulations and pricing schemes, as well as free parking, are common in traditional parking models.
Little Five Points Parking Supply
PARKING OCCUPANCY, PEAK PERIOD At the peak hour, parking occupancy is nearly 80% overall. Many lots and street spaces at the West and North sides of L5P are over capacity, while many lots in the South and East are under capacity.

PARKING OCCUPANCY OVER TIME Parking occupancy follows a “Goldilocks Principle”. When a parking lot is too empty, valuable urban space goes to waste. Too full, and potential patrons waste time and energy cruising for a parking space, increasing traffic and discouraging customers. Parking managers should strive to spread demand for parking evenly across spaces.

Kabul Baseline Conditions Report During my internship with Level Infrastructure I worked in a four person team to develop the infrastructure sections of a new baseline conditions report for Kabul, Afghanistan. The infrastructure portion was divided into six categories: mobility, drainage, drinking water, wastewater, solid waste and energy. This report was the initial research and compilation of Kabul’s existing infrastructure and past and current projects. Each category/chapter was broken down by scale (national, regional and local), sorted into recent master plans and projects and concluded with expected loads and capacities for the city at Kabul’s current population. Fellow interns collected and analyzed the data and reports provided to us by various ministries and NGO’s and I created the maps and graphics. All maps displayed here, I developed myself. The BCR provided a starting place for the new infrastructure master plan to be developed by Level in accordance with Sasaki Design’s urban design plans. 73

National Drainage Context National Watersheds Afghanistan comprises of 4 primary river basins: The Kabul River Basin, which drains to the east; the Northern River Basin, which drains to the north, the Amu Darya River Basin, which drains to the east, and the Hilmand River Basin, which drains to the south. Evaporation rates are higher than precipitation rates throughout the country, and in areas with little topography to facilitate flow, there exist some regions that do not drain at all. Any precipitation that does not evaporate in these areas is infiltrated.
AMU DARYA RIVER BASIN
NOR THERN RIVER BASIN
K ABUL RIVER BASIN K AB UL
HARIROD-MURGHAB RIVER
RIV ER
Kabu River flow is highly seasonal. Kabul’s climate is arid, with a distinct rainy season November through May. With annual average rainfall of 330 mm/year, and long hot and dry periods, evaporation rates exceed precipitation over the year. Thus, Kabul River stream bed is dry for several months each year.
K ABUL MUNICIPALIT Y
Existing infrastructure consists only of surface drainage.
HILMAND RIVER BASIN
There is no piped drainage infrastructure in Kabul, and with a highly urbanized land area throughout the city, most precipitation runs off as sheet flow to open channel drains. A series of primary channels drain to the Kabul River, but the channels are not constructed within a formal network of appropriately sized sections, and erosion and damage to channels is common. Additionally, drainage channels often impede movement and mobility, particularly in informal settlements where paths are narrow.

2011 JICA Road Network Master Plan Kab
Road Network Development Plan JICA proposed an extended road network that would cover approximately 800 km, which would consist of both radial and circumferential roads. The most significant addition is Kabul City Outer Ring Road, which would serve as the major connection between existing arteries. JICA also proposed the addition and widening of many major and minor arterial roads, further enhancing the connection to and from the center of the city. The plan proposal focused on right of way sectioning to help mitigate congestion.
Water use in Kabul is driven by several principal consumer groups. Within Kabul Municipality, water is used in residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial settings. Agricultural water is primarily supplied by irrigation canals from streams or karezes. Industrial parks have their own water supply. The total industrial water usage (2011) is approximately 24,000 m3/day. The Microrayon is supplied privately as well, and uses approximately 16,000 m3/day.

ThepopulationsurgethatKabulCityhasexperienced over the last ten years is expected to continue, and this rapid growth is already straining existing water supplies. Additionally, as the middle class grows and the piped water network expands to household connections, per capita water usage rates will also grow.

Community Center for the Elderly of the East Village The design of a new Community Center in the Village View housing complex in the East Village of Manhattan was centered around safe accessibility to public transit and the amenities of the community center for senior citizens. Preliminary research was conducted in GIS to draw attention to the lack of public transit in the area - something an aging urban population heavily relies upon. The research also shed light on a high number of pedestrian injuries thus I began with designing entrances in correlation with modes of transportation based on orientation.

Program Layout Materiality and transparency were considered to symbolize entrances of the building, provide familiarity to surrounding context and provide varying levels of privacy in relation to the interior programming. Strategies for the programming of the community center focused on open floor layouts for easy navigation; differences in functions of space were indicated with changes in ceiling height or floor elevation rather than walls when possible.

Entrance Typologies 1st Avenue neighbors the site to the West and is a high traffic street with bus lanes. The south entrance off of first avenue became a transit hub for the bus stop located farther south with seating, monitors showing bus times, small cafe and public restrooms. To the North along 6th street is a quieter and narrower street for which I proposed a pick-up area for seniors to be dropped off by their adult children or by the nursing home they may live in now. The third entrance is pedestrian oriented with a small parklet in front to begin to differentiate the public sidewalk with outdoor space of the community center. This entrance also serves as a thoroughfare to the seating and outdoor spaces to the east bordering the nearby Village View apartment building.

Italian Piazza Studies During our time in Florence we were given the task of studying and analyzing two piazzas - one traditional and the other more contemporary located outside of Florenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic center. I chose to study two piazzas that had churches as a way to assess the identity and maintenance of the public space. The traditional one had a lively group of church members all of whom stayed for an hour ot two after the service let out. However, their lingering hardly seemed out of place in the piazza crowded with many other tourists and Florentines that utilize the spaces intersecting streets as thoroughfares to the Duomo, farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; market or various other stores in the area.

Conversely, the contemporary piazza is located in the residential working class area outside the historic center thus the roads are wider and populated with more cars than people. Church members immediately went to their cars or homes once the church service let out. Other piazzas in this neighborhood at least have neighboring businesses that increase pedestrian activity while this one has one cafe but receives little activity. In addition provided seating contributes to the two piazzas varied user density; Sant’Ambroggio has several stationary benches as well as foldable seating provided by neighboring restaurants and Gervasio has stationary benches that are falling apart.
