PROJECT DESCRIPTION Create a reuse for the old Terrace Plaza Hotel. Program is not specific but emphasis must be put on universal dwelling units that are ADA compliant as well as a detailed reception area.

GOALS & FOCUS Design a unit that is universal to the neighborhood and not just the business district. Refrain from removing too much of the existing structure as well as keeping the brick facade due to it’s historical context. Honor the Gourmet and continue it’s use as a 5 star restaurant.

TIMELINE & DELIVERABLES Weeks 1-3: EXISTING CONDITIONS: Group

Digitalize existing conditions containing structure, floors, columns, circulation, and interior walls Visit site to investigate project Weeks 4-6: BUILDING MASTER PLAN: Group

This exercise is to show your concept for the building in a concise fashion, which will require visual conveyance as

well as a succinct presentation.

Weeks 7-9: TOWER ROOM EXERCISES: Individual

Phase 1: The goal is to develop an array of options for interior spaces in the tower of the Terrace Plaza, to incorporate

universal design principles, and to represent space(s) with axons and modeling—to exercise technical rigor while implying the experience of a space in a condensed micro-unit

Phase 2: The second phase of the tower will allow more freedom to create the ideal universal design dwelling. This will adopt more than one

structural unit, so the proposals will need to show a key plan for the floor, justifying that the unit design takes into account its context, it’s neighbors.

Phase 3: Regather in a group to incorporate best 2-5 dwelling units to implement in the final design. These units must be ADA compliant as

well as universally sound.

Weeks 10-15: FINAL EXERCISE: Group

Collectively present materials and design ideas in critique. Presentations should address both concept and final

design processes. In total the final should be a fully developed concept with emphasis and detailed work on dwelling units, lobby and atrium impacts, and cohesion seen from working interdisciplinarily

DESIGN STANDARDS & KEY LIGHTING

• Windows provide daylight • Lighting highlights specific spaces • Provides variation and adds interest • Hanging lights are positioned so that they do not impede with circulation or block vision

COLOR AND MATERIALS

• Contrasts between floor and walls identify edge of space • No visually confusing patterns; low contrast • Furniture contrasts with floors and walls to compensate for visual challenges • Doors or door frames contrast with the surrounding walls

ACOUSTICS

• Doors and walls separate space and reduce noise transfer Doors, Corridors, Elevators, Stairs • 36” door ways with 34” clear space, Lever handles on doors • Aisles are clear of obstructions BEDROOM • Bed tables within reach • Space to provide wheelchair maneuvering; 42” circulation path around entire bed space KITCHEN • Wall mounted ovens and clear space below cooktop; refrigerator and freezer drawers; dishwasher with toe space • Freedom of movement without extended travel distances; devoid of tight passageways and physical barriers BATHROOM • Space to provide wheelchair maneuvering; 42” circulation path with 5’ maneuver radius • Grab bars on toilet stalls and bathtub FURNITURE • Distance between furniture pieces is ample (1/4-1/3 more than standard space planning dimensions); adequate space for ease of circulation • Located away from primary pathways and contrasts with adjacent architecture • Ease of movement; flexible yet sturdy enough to minimize shifting Adaptive environment • Chairs and sofas have legs to help with user stability; legs do not protrude past the seat • Bar seats are stable and not higher than 26” (unless they have a metal foot rest)
