Hendrick’s Hall Remodel HUD Innovation in Affordable Housing Competition Entry 2016 Cottage Grove Public Library
The background line drawing is a map of Alcúdia, Mallorca, Spain, created in Rhino with Grasshopper plugin Elk.
Hendrick’s Hall Remodel Location Eugene, OR Professional Project Spring 2016 Professor Rob Thallon Team Members Garrett Mitchell, Sam Clagett Tasked with developing ideas for improving the University of Oregon’s architecture and planning facilities, a team of three UO architecture students and one architecture professor met weekly to brainstorm and provide feedback on each students’ independent work. My primary role was producing images of Hendrick’s Hall for the purpose of soliciting donors. The remodel would transform a building currently filled with small offices into a new space for the PPPM department containing a large classroom, a small classroom, administrative offices, and the restoration of a historic entry on the East side of the building.

Finishing top 10 semi-finalists out of over 100 entries, this project focused on reinventing the relationship between water and the residents of Southern California to foster a healthy respect for the role of water in nature while educating people about its true costs and appropriate uses. Architectural form takes inspiration from the site’s history, context, and mild climate, and massing and siting apply urban design patterns that promote security and a comfortable pedestrian experience, resulting in a mixed-use anchor for the neighborhood.

The design is the product of the work of a multidisciplinary team and the experience was collaborative every step of the way. The team met regularly to coordinate research efforts and collaborate on design decisions. My primary role was the team’s 3D modeler, using Revit 2016 to build and render.

2 ANOXIC TANK Allows the sold particles to settle and introduces engineered bacteria to digest the organic matter.
3 GRAVEL FILTERS Gravel attracts nutrients and deposits a high-quality effluent.
4 TIDAL CELLSWater is washed across a series of membranes.
5 ULTRA-VIOLET TREATMENTWater is disinfected through utlraviolet light and chlorine as needed.
6 STORAGE + USE Complaint with the California Plumbing Code and NSF 350, the treated water is stored underground for non-potable uses such as flushing toilets and mechanical systems.
The units are distinct, allowing for personalization and ownership. Defined entryways, visible from other units, increase security. Windows are oriented for natural cross-ventilation, views, and daylight. To
accommodate individual indoor climate needs and seasonal peaks in temperature, the units have a multi-room ductless minisplit in the family areas coupled with an energy recovery ventilator.

Cottage Grove Public Library Location Cottage Grove, OR Architecture Design Studio Winter 2016 Professor Don Corner Knowledge, community, and contemporary mass timber technology meet on main street: a new public library occupies a corner in the heart of historic downtown Cottage Grove, Oregon. The design celebrates knowledge and community through light and vertical and horizontal sight lines. Located in a region in which timber plays a significant role in the local economy, the library’s structure showcases modern mass timber innovations. Columns and beams are glue-laminated wood. The innovative floor system is Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) with integrated services adapted from a case study of the University of British Columbia’s Wood Innovation Design Centre by Michael Green Architecture. The skylight with light shelves is also CLT, adapted from a case study of The Hive library in Worcester, England by Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios.
