CARBON & ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT

MY CARBON FOOTPRINT

According to the website calculator my household carbon emissions are lower than the average US household for 2 people which is 38,615 lb. Mine was 27,136 lb.

Knowing that my planned actions are equivalent to planting 83 trees was encouraging.

MY ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT

According to the website my personal overshoot day is March 14th and thats not good. What was evening more alarming to me was knowing that if people lived like me we would need 5 EARTHS!!!

CIDER HOUSE & NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER PROJECT

ARC2 Design studio

ABOUT THE PROJECT

The site is situated on a parking lot in Mission Hill. Near the crossroad 0f Huntington Ave, and calumet street.

The goal was to create a space that embraces Mission Hill’s past, and supports the current livelihood of the city.

ABOUT THE BUILDING

The building is made up of 4 main units, 3 of which are visible from Calumet street.

The first floor where the main entrance is located contains the administration, Community engagement spaces, and classrooms.

Then moving down to the ground floor which contains the cider production space & the restaurant. The ground floor is accessible through the site as well.

The main concept in the project was the steel beams that wrapped the building and held it in place.

REGIONAL AND HISTORIC ARCHITECTURE

HISTORIC BUILDING STYLES

• You can see the past is everywhere in Boston, its history is observed as you walk down one street.

• The reason for that in part, is that the preservation movement began early in Boston.

• Certain elements can help us Identify historic houses, First, determine the home’s most modern yet still original feature. Second, examine the building materials.

Some of these styles include:

1. FIRST PERIOD (1600-1700)

In Boston (such as the Paul Revere House in the North End).

2. GEORGIAN ( 1700-1780)

In Boston (notably the Old Corner Bookstore in Downtown Crossing)

3. FEDERAL ( 1780-1820)

In Boston (particularly Beacon Hill and the State House)

4. GREEK REVIVAL (1815-1860)

In Amherst, Andover, Barn-stable, Boston (notably Mount Vernon and Pinckney streets, Quincy Market, and Union Park)

5. GOTHIC REVIVAL (1840-1880)

In Dorchester, Martha’s Vineyard (particularly Oak Bluffs).

6. ITALIANATE (1840-1885)

In Back Bay, Boston (such as Concord Square)

7. SECOND EMPIRE (1855-1885)

In Boston (notably Appleton Street)

8. QUEEN ANNE (1880-1910)

In Adams, Arlington, Beverly, Boston (notably Greenwich and St. Germaine streets)

9. MID-CENTURY MODERN (1933-1973)

In Belmont, Concord, Lexington

AROUND THE SITE

SITE CONTEXT

The triangular site situates on a parking lot on Mission Hill. Near the Crossroad of Huntington Ave, and calumet street. The goal is to create a space that embraces Mission Hill’s past, and supports the current livelihood of the city.

The cider-house project building is made up of 4 main units, 3 of which are visible from Calumet street. With Mission Hill being such a historic yet walkable neighborhood, having a cider-house and neighborhood center seems like a good fit for the suggested site.

The functions, materials and spacial design of the suggested project were all chosen to encourage further human interaction and community engagement, as well as trying to tie the area’s past and present.

The first floor contains the administration & Community Engagement spaces and classrooms. While the Ground floor contains the cider production space & the Restaurant. The ground floor is accessible through the site as well.

CLIMATE CONSULTANT SUN SHADING CHARTS

Using the climate consultant program I generated the ideal sun shading angles for my project facades shown in the charts.

These charts represent the best shading required during the summer/fall months (June 21December 21).

North Facade:

As shown in the chart there is no need for shading on the north elevation that barely has any sun exposure to begin with.

CLIMATE CONSULTANT PSYCHOMETRIC CHART

Psychometric chart:

The chart shown shoes the best design strategies that should be applied to achieve maximum interior comfort in my project location.

As seen designing for internal heat gain accounts for 24.9% of increased comfort.

While adding humidification accounts for increasing comfort by 55.4%.

Impactful strategy 1:

The project is meant to be a place for community engagement and advancement in addition to being a cider house, so it will be heavily lit, with high traffic as well as machines. Add the fact that it is a highly glazed project so proper insulation is key.

Impactful strategy 2:

Designing in a city like Boston where winters are extremely cold, getting as much winter sunlight as possible is definitely at strategy that can greatly help the design achieve comfort.

SQUARE FOOT COST ESTIMATOR REPORT

RS MEANS COST ESTIMATING

The estimated cost per square foot for my project came out to be about $119, that is a relatively cheap price for a project like this.

I believe that the size, materials chosen and the way the project was designed are contributing factors to getting this price.

Using tools like this website could really help us architects and designers get an idea of approximate costs during the design process therefor making better decisions and creating better projects.

I believe my design has sufficient natural light due to the amount of exterior glazing (windows, skylights, etc.), And therefore thereby reducing the need for artificial lighting.

But in order to save energy required for cooling the space with a vast amount of glazing, adding vertical and horizontal shading devices is something I will consider.

While curtain walls are not always the best solution having it on the main facade and the stairwell really helped to brighten up the building. And create a unique visual experience.

Patterns.

My facades are divided into 2 percentages, the 20% range and the 50% range.

The main reason for that was the different functions within the building, and locations of the windows within these spaces.

I utilized the design of curtain walls in particular spaces within my design, to increase the amount of natural lighting within the space.

And in other spaces where focus and less amount of light is required I put in operable windows for some lighting and air circulation.

The flat roofs make it possible to have beautiful green roofs that the surrounding houses and buildings will enjoy looking at. Also it will increase the green footprint on the space.

Having such a sloped site, planting different size plants and trees in different zones along this slope will create a visual hierarchy and make the site and project more visually appealing.

Using a verity of plants and trees will attract different species, welcoming more life onto the site.

DESIGNING FOR WATER

There is a very good opportunity for water conservation and water reuse in this project. The size of the project, as well as the chosen functions and services in this building resulted in low water consumption, also most of the water consumed can be re-used for irrigation of the plants on site.

The project being located in Boston where this is high volume of rainfall through the year, and the site being such a steep slope, both increase the possibility of rainwater conservation on site.

Planting native species on the site reduce the amount of water needed for irrigation, also helping in the water conservation process.

DESIGNING FOR ECONOMY

The project is meant to be for the community, the intent is that community members can enjoy and benefit from this project.

A way for us to help them enjoy it is by making it possible and also easy to maintain.

By choosing efficient local materials we save costs and improve insulation as well as building operation and upkeep.

The more efficient we make the building the more the community can enjoy using it & benefit from having it.

DESIGNING FOR ENERGY

The choice of efficient local materials and renewable energy sources within the project helped reduce the consumption while increasing the amount of energy generated.

When building with local materials they are design to withstand local weather, and that reflects on the buildings efficiency.

Paying attention to the type, size and location of windows affect not only the human experience inside the building but also the energy consumption within.

The different types of functions within the building also had an affect on the energy consumption.

FOR WELLNESS

When designing the project, the human experience and relationship to the outdoor surroundings was taken into consideration when designing each space in this building.

A clear visual connection, and easy access to the outdoor was looked into. As well as bringing natural sunlight throughout the spaces.

There are operable windows to create indoor/ outdoor experiences within certain spaces in this building.

RESULTS

The carbon footprint of this building may not be the best, and I would reconsider using it next time, but the overall performance of the building I believe is great.

Seeing it all in numbers definitely puts things into perspective when deciding on how to design moving forward.
