SALT POINT HOUSE - New York, USA.
Thomas Phifer and Partners is the team of architect behind this amazing masterpiece, and they describe the SALT POINT HOUSE as follow: “In brilliant daylight, the Salt Point House has an ethereal presence as elusive and weightless as a mirage, its edges seemingly dissolving into the surrounding forested landscape. Yet with changing light, the house transforms itself, shifting by turns from gossamer and nearly transparent to opaque and quietly monumental. Perhaps even more remarkable: the architecture achieves these poetic qualities with a modest palette of ordinary materials and simple volumes.” The architects made this landscape the centre of the home, constructing a building that is permeable to light and to images of its surroundings. Since 1997, Thomas Phifer and Partners has received three Design Excellence awards from the General Services Administration and more than 20 honour awards from the American Institute of Architects, as well as numerous national and international citations. His projects have been published and exhibited extensively in the United States and overseas. A monograph on the work of Thomas Phifer and Partners was released in 2010 by Skira Rizzoli.

The house is located in the heart of the Hudson Valley in the state of New York, The house lies in a green clearing overlooking a private pond which even has its own little waterfall. The architects make this landscape the centre of the home, constructing a building that is permeable to light and to images of its surroundings: the structure, with its simple rectangular geometry, has two end walls made entirely out of glass, while the other two are made of maple plywood with windows cut into the ground floor offering views of the park. This house is inspired by other masterpieces such as Philip Johnson’s Glass House, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s Farnsworth House and Charles and Ray Eames’ Case study house no. 8. And it is possible to understand that from the simplicity, organization and disposition of the areas.

Building structure and materials
Constructed of elegantly efficient and economical materials the structure, with its simple rectangular geometry, has two end walls made entirely out of glass, while the other two are made of maple plywood with windows cut into the ground floor offering views of the park. To allow for economy in construction, the massing of the house is a compact, rectangular box. All of the building and finish materials were carefully selected for function, durability, and especially, economy. At the interior, the walls, floors, and ceilings are all clad in economical and durable maple plywood. Furniture pieces and interiors are constructed of the same plywood. Standard, commercial fluorescent light fixtures made in plywood to provide inexpensive, but elegant lighting. Exterior stainless steel screen panels on the north and south facades are held a few inches off the main structure to protect the house from the extremes of both the summer sun and the winter winds. The perforated screens shade the exterior face of the house creating a thermal buffer which helps to keep the interior cool. The house was carefully sited to take advantage of the prevailing summer breezes. Strategically placed operable windows and ventilating skylights allow the breeze to flow through the home. The natural ventilation at the interior in combination with the shading effect of the exterior sunscreens work together to keep the house comfortable, without air conditioning, throughout the warm summer months.

HATHAWAY CRESCENT MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT DESIGN RPOJECT East Ham, London, UK.
IDENTITY
INDIVIDUALITY + COMMUNITY This year at university students were challenged to design a mixed-use housing development that emphasized sustainability and community involvement. The project was based on the suburb of London, in the area of Hathaway crescent, East Ham, and sought to create buildings that worked contextually with the neighbourhood. The site and zoning restrictions with building regulations and design guidelines, caused issues with the flexibility of the arrangement of the spaces, but everything was still manageable, as ideas and solution were endless. The form of the structure intended to open up to the street while the terracing and change in level create a comfortable environment for the occupants. The project is divided in different parts and in every chapter a different software is used to illustrate and explain this design project stage after stage,

CLIMATE ANALYSIS
ECOTECT DIAGRAMS
SOLAR RADIATION AND SOLAR PATH VERNAL/AUTUMNAL EQUINOX 21ST MARCH- 21ST SEPTEMBER 09:00 AM
During equinox period the site is lit for more than half of the surface, shadows are present for less than a half due to the presence of the high rise building in the East.
12:00 AM
During mid-noon day the site is lit for all the surface, as the sun is exactly in the middle, and no presence of shadows is found in the site.
03:00 PM
Mid-afternoon is similar to noon as the site is still lit enough, but shadows are present in minimum percentage in the south part of the site.
06:00 PM
During the late afternoon time the sun is having a low angle and the subset is in that range of hours, in consequence the site is totally covered by the shadows of the surrounding buildings.
Advantages
Disadvantages
Design Strategies
The site is exposed for the majority of the year to direct solar radiation towards the south faรงade, this will allow to have primary use spaces, as living room and kitchen, placed in the south, in order to allow natural daylight penetration, and the rest of the rooms in the north.
During winter time the site is totally obscured with shadows from the surrounding buildings for most hours of the day, with a total clear blue sky and no wind the site during the summer will be overheated.
Control direct solar radiation using shading on south facing glazing, to prevent overheating, different type of shading can be used, from sun shading devices to fixed vegetation like trees. Indirect diffuse radiation can be prevent by choosing different type of glazing, such low-e glazing. As north rooms are not going to gain direct solar radiation will be possible insert light bouncers through high windows while at the same time shading lower part of the window. Considering just exterior shading devices as interior devices such Venetian blinds or louvers do not reduce cooling load since solar gain has been penetrated already, can be considered just for visual comfort.

SIMULATION OUTCOME The images below show the simulated daylight factor for the Living room. Daylight factor calculations are a recognized method for evaluating the light levels (at work plane height) in the different rooms of the house. Simulations like these can assist design decisions, for example when deciding how many windows should be used and where they should optimally be placed, depending on the design goals of the project. The outcome of this investigation, shows exactly how the room

5.daylight simulation (author )
DESIGN ENHANCEMENT The room that has been analysed through ECOTECT, is a 13 msq. bedroom, which have the window facing the South-West. After running the simulation is possible to see that the result respected and reached the recommended daylight factor of the British Standard regulations, to ensure natural daylight enter these spaces. The bedroom was carefully analysed and investigated for daylight. The bedroom meet and exceeding the 1% minimum recommended by the regulations.
External solar shading is one of the most effective ways to control the internalconditions of a building. Radiation from the sun is largely transmitted, absorbed and reflected by the louvres, minimising transmission. Excessive solar heat gain and solar glare can be a costly and unwanted hindrance for building owners. In addition, local building regulations increasingly require designers to reduce heat gain, with solar shading recommended as a preventative measure unless glass areas are minimised. This type of solar shading systems offer designers the opportunity for distinctive architectural impact, whilst reducing solar heat gains. (shadingsystemsinc.com)

DESIGN ENHANCEMENT The room that has been analysed through ECOTECT, is a 28 msq. Living room, which have the window facing the South. The living room was also investigated for natural daylight and this space also meets the recommended 1.5% daylight factor. This tell us that my design proposal provides good levels of daylight without the need of artificial lighting to help people save the energy bills of those living in the apartment as well as to put forward and build a sustainable building.
With this type of solar shading is help regulate solar gain in buildings by reflecting excess heat. This is particularly true of external shading, or shading within ventilated facades. Correctly-specified internal shading with reflective coatings can also help control excess solar irradiation – this is the most popular form of shading in the UK. Shading goes hand in hand with ventilation strategies, as warm air needs to be removed from buildings to help regulate internal temperatures. Linking solar shading to environmental systems or environmental controls ensures that the shading position is optimised through automation. Link to automation page

Cross laminated timber was mentioned for the first time almost 30 years ago in the special literature and building magazines. In the 1998 this new type of product started to gain national technical approvals in GermanSpeaking countries of Europe. Some similar products to the Cross Laminated Timber such as the blockboard, plywood and laminated veneer lumber (LVL), were already known names in the market, but the innovation that allowed to the CLT be the future of the construction industry was the sizes in which could be manufactured. One of the possible benefits arising from this is its use as a loadbearing element in structures thereby opening up new perspectives and possible applications to the whole industry. Over the years, the use of solid timber components has become very popular and represents an important addition to the techniques of traditional timber construction.
Cross laminated timber normally consists of 3 to 7 layers of softwood boards bonded together crosswise. The individual boards are connected to one another longitudinally by finger joints and the layers are glued together. The product is offered in various qualities and grades. Depending on the method of production, the first step is usually to produce single-layer panels by gluing the individual boards together along their narrow edges. These layers of boards are then stacked to form multiple layer panels. The process is highly automated and can provide ready-to-use CLT elements with lengths up to 16 m and widths up to 3.5 m.
The type of wood normally used is spruce, but other woods notably fir, pine, larch, Swiss pine and Douglas fir are also suitable. While the use of other wood types may, pursuant to the approvals, be used in the loadbearing board layers, wood types not mentioned above are frequently used for the decorative, non-loadbearing covering layers.
The fields of use of solid timber elements are many and diverse. They are used as structural, stiffening and non-loadbearing walls, ceilings and roofs elements and can be combined with other construction materials. They are used in the construction of detached houses, multi-storey residential buildings, public buildings, administration buildings, industrial and commercial buildings, structural alteration works, bridge building and for adding additional storeys to existing buildings. Design and construction comply with the structural, building physics and legal requirements.

Fire Resistance As wood is combustible it leads to an inevitable concern about the fire performance of timber buildings. However it is important to understand that all materials have their limitations when exposed to a fire. No construction method or material is immune to fire so this should not be a constraint particular to building in timber, but an important design parameter for all construction.

Conductivity
3B. CLT fire resistance. (CLT UK 100 PROJECTS )
Timber has a low thermal conductivity, which reduces the risk of thermal bridging, which is a common concern in steel or concrete buildings. This can simplify detailing and assist with structural design. For example, in some cases an internal floor slab can be continued outside to form a balcony without a thermal break.

3C. CLT thermal efficency (CLT UK 100 PROJECTS )
CLT uses a large volume of timber compared with timber frame, which increases the volume of carbon sequestered. Even as a renewable resource designers should be considerate and efficient with materials, optimizing the size of elements. Typically, a CLT solution up to around four storeys would utlilize more material than needed to perform the structural work required, however the same is often true for concrete frames in low rise schemes.1 For buildings of this scale, a timber frame or SIPS structure may be more appropriate, solely utilizing CLT panels for the floor slabs and core. While CLT is often not the most structurally efficient solution for low rise schemes, the other benefits of CLT often merit its use, for example the simplicity of a CLT structure and the performance of the panels and quality of ARCHITECTURE DESIGN PORTFOLIO OUSSAMA NEFZI) construction.

The direct install speed of the structure itself is faster than conventional construction methods. Delivered just-in-time, the panels are often directly craned from the truck and fixed into place using hand held tools. The panels are immediately ready for the subsequent floors to be built on top.
