ACKNOWLEDGMENT

Firstly, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my Professor George Proctor, RA for his continuous support during my Masters in Architecture thesis study and research. His guidance helped me during the rough times. I would also like to thank Dennis McFadden, FAIA and Graduate Coordinator Kip Dickson for their insightful comments and encouragement. I would also like to thank my husband Omid Rohani for his patience, love, and support. He encouraged me and helped me get through the tough times during the three years in my Masters in Architecture. My deep apreciation goes to my family for their support and enouragement.

Thesis Statement

A housing unit is most often fixed but a family unit is not. It grows and changes as children grow older or grandparents move in and there is a need to account for these changes. Housing today must be designed to accomodate oscillations in family configuration.

THESIS STATEMENT 1

Research

The Issue: There is an important issue of how to make housing flexible and adaptable for people to stay longer and use specific features in design for the users to feel comfortable and adapt to the flexible opportunities for housing in the broader sense of community. The outcome will be realized through the development of a Mixed-use building (retail below and housing above) for families located in Pasadena, which will serve to create flexibility in the units designed.

Justification of Need: Families come to Pasadena and end up staying in the city because of the cultural diversity, world-class art, and many more factors. As far as rent prices for apartments in Pasadena, it has gone up a lot every year and have not been affordable even for medium earning families. It is important to consider affordability, especially for the type of audience, for example families with children, who try to pay their rents and also save for food and other uses. The purpose of this proposed project is to increase the typical stay of residents through flexible design options and affordability. There is the need for people to be able to live comfortably, being provided the options and services. It is convenient to walk to buy groceries or put kids to the daycare downstairs and go to the Ice cream/yogurt shop in the neighborhood. If each housing offering has retail offering on the ground floor, then the residents are less dependent on their cars. Most retail needs to be on the ground floor, where accessible. Multi-family housing are becoming more attractive. Not only as our economy has changed, but our social make-up changed as well. For one, the definition of family has changed quite a bit, where you might have something like a single mother with kids, or a childless couple or a gay couple living together. What does a singlefamily home offer to families like this? Not much. But a multi-family residence offers connection and proximity to others and actually creates the opportunity to expand the definition of family to include neighbors. They offer the benefits of living in a community while retaining the independence of living at home. A third reason to return to the multi-family model is the environment. Multi-family housing is by far the more sustainable, less wasteful option compared to single-family housing. It takes up a lot less space for one and it houses many more people in a much more efficient way, sharing electrical, mechanical and plumbing infrastructure for example. The only way to get over the supply and demand problem is to build buildings that are flexible enough to accommodate new demands on the built environment such as changing demographics, ageing users and changing working patterns.” There are so many benefits in terms of cost and environmental sustainability. The home is the most important place for people to have and if there is an issue and lack of caring about the place we live in, then that can have many negative effects in the future.

Role of Architecture: The role is closely associated with the programmatic direction which is more about the aggregation of repetitive units and the interlocking of repetitive units. Then there is of course secondary ones about use of open space, such as relationship between indoor and outdoor, courtyard space, circulation to units. The purpose of this proposed project is to increase the typical stay of residents through flexible interior and exterior spaces. There is the need for people to be able to live comfortably, being provided the options and services. It is convenient to walk to buy groceries or put kids to the daycare downstairs and go to the Ice cream/yogurt shop in the neighborhood. If each housing offering has retail offering on the ground floor, then the residents are less dependent on their cars. A multi-family residence offers connection and proximity to others and actually creates the opportunity to expand the definition of family to include neighbors. They offer the benefits of living in a community while retaining the independence of living at home. It is a Condo Project. People living here will have the principal unit and then the auxiliary unit (the SRO unit). They have a unit that they own and then also if they want they have access to that adjoining unit. There is a state of ownership of that piece. If no one is using the SRO and they rent them out, and the funds go into the collective ownership to pay for the upkeep. Everybody enjoys the profits. If a family owns a unit plus some share of the common grounds including the SRO’s, then they would appreciate the upkeep of all of that stuff one way or another. Either they would have direct access to it when it’s their time when they need it or indirectly if somebody else is renting it, they enjoy the proceeds of it. Having Ownership for a portion of it and then the ability to rent additional portion on it as a needed basis. If it is ownership, then there is a reason not to move because the people are investing in it, meaning they can renovate it, personalize it them self, have upgrades to it, invest in it and all that work is such that they wouldn’t want to leave. If it is an apartment, they can’t do any of those changes. So it makes sense as an ownership model with elements of it that are rental. If the owners no longer need the SRO unit, then they can rent it out to someone else.

Program Narrative: There is constantly changes in the size and age of the household members. The program focuses on accommodating changes in household composition due to changes in the developmental cycle of the family. The intent is to design a mixed-use development that is built to include the design of the shared units and while including spaces of family gathering and common spaces that have a vitality to the project.
