The Vacation Cottages by PK Arkitektar were the winning designs for a 2012 competition to design a series of 20 vacation cabins located in Brekkuskógur, Iceland. The first two cabins were completed in 2015 and work seamlessly with the landscape. The cabins both have green roofs which slope down to meet the landscape below. The sloping roofs were designed to mimic the surrounding rolling plains. All vegetation that previously existed on each site, was preserved and placed on top of the cabins.
The buildings are constructed of wood with a concrete foundation. Vertically slatted, wood panels clad both the exterior and interior of the cottages. On the exterior, the wood has been charred using an ancient Japanese technique which increases its durability.
Each cabin has close to zero carbon footprint, utlilzing geothermal hydro energy. Iceland’s active volcanic climate allows for hot thermal baths just outside the cabins. Ground Floor Plan 2 1.0 1 Scale: 1/8” = 1’
North Elevation 2 1.1 1 Scale: 1/8” = 1’
South Elevation 2 1.1 2 Scale: 1/8” = 1’
The cottages utilize a layered wall system. From interior to exterior this consists of a double layer of drywall, which is useful for dampening sound. The drywall is attached to 1x1 furring strips which are attached to a stud wall. The stud wall has insulation within its cavities. A layer of plywood is attached to the outside of the stud wall which is covered with an air and water barrier. Another layer of furring strips are attched to the plywood and the exterior finish, charred wooden slats, are nailed to these furring strips (refer to drawings 1.3 - 1 & 1.3 - 2).

The 35,000 square foot Tozzer Anthropology Building was designed by Kennedy & Violich Architecture and completed in 2014. It was designed for Harvard University in Cambridge, MA, USA. The building is a complete renovation of the Johnson and Hotveld’s 1971 Tozzer Library, reusing the existing building’s foundation, infrastructure connections, and steel and concrete structure.
The Tozzer anthropology Building has received a LEED Gold Certification. It features a parametric brick facade, a copper roof, and a large internal light well. The copper roof rotates to reflect the maximum amount of sunlight into the light well to daylight the building. The light well also circulates tempered air and acts as part of an energy-saving ventilation system.

The monolithic wall system of the Tozzer Anthropology Building consists mainly of courses of brick which are attached to a steel structure by means of metal clips. The clips separate the brick facade from the structure, forming a cavity wall. Within the courses of brick are horizontal and vertical expansion joints. The vertical expansion joints are staggered between floors and align with structurally-glazed windows that protrude past the facade. The horizontal expansion joints are made up of relieving angles and expandable gaskets that are hidden behind recessed soldier courses of brick. There are no control joints within the entrance facade (Drawing 2.5 - 1 below), just a loose lintel set above the entranceway.
The 50,000 square foot Wood Innovation and Design Center by Michael Green Architecture was completed in 2014. At the time it was built, the eight-story building was the tallest modern all-timber office building in the world. The lower floors of the building function as education facilities for Integrated Wood Design. The upper floors serve as office space for government and wood-industry related organizations.
The Wood Innovation and Design Center was built as a catalyst for more buildings of its kind. Its innovative wooden structural system can support buildings up to 30 stories high with little modification. The building showcases the ability of mass timber to provide a viable alternative to steel and concrete structures.
The wood innovation and design center was constructed using a curtain wall system made completely of wood. Cross-laminated timber panels make up the floor system while Glulam columns and beams support the floors. Mass timber and glass make up the buildings facade, which is separate from the main structural portion of the building (refer to drawing 3.4 - 1 below).

Select one case study assembly from Assignment One (B) to further explore in greater detail and understanding. Draw and annotate a wall section, an exterior wall plan detail, a partition section detail and an elevation detail. Each drawing should show enough information to convey how it’s assembled and the components relate to each other. Research your local energy code requirements to determine the R-value required for the building envelope. The R-value is also determined by the climate zone in your local jurisdiction. Calculate the total R-value of each building assmbly.

Using Assignment One as a launching point, choose one case study to transform into a different assembly system. For example, if your case study was a load-bearing brick wall system, consider changing it to a curtain wall system with brick panels. Draw a plan detail, and wall sections to depict each major building assembly at a scale of 3/4” = 1’-0”. List the major components of each system, and include brief annotations describing the materials, purpose/function and performance.

Using Assignment Two (A and B) as a launching point, develop 2 axonometric wall sections, one showing the interior plane and the other showing the exterior. These should illustrate the various materials, components, and connections, as well as their relationships from interior to exterior. Each axon should include an entire bay or a minimum 8ft of floor/wall/roof depth. Use annotated leaders to locate and identify all materials and components within each axonometric wall section.
