Rockies Urban Village The Rockies Urban Village is a co-housing complex located at the Rockies Urban Wild Park, Boston, MA 02128. Being on the south-facing waterfront, the site gets large amounts of sun to passively heat and generate electricity for the complex. Similarly with its location the site is prone to high winds.

On the site there is 22 units. Nine of which are inspired by studio-styled homes, and the remaining thirteen are skinny home inspired. All units have heavy influence by the worklive dynamic which led to the design of an multi-level interior street along the spine of the site so that each unit has space for variable living styles. These semi-detached elements must be accessed by passing outdoors, and can be reconfigured into independent secondary dwellings, workshops, storefronts or professional kitchens if desired by the unit owner. Many of the units sport rooftop access, in the form of decks, grass lawns, and even rooftop parking from the Northern Street.

There is a sever elevation change of 29’-6” between the southern side of the site and the northern. Because of this change, light permeation was a concern through the design process. To combat this, large semi-operable windows stretch floor to ceiling in all units, and are aligned in ways so that if left uncovered, every room will receive direct sunlight during at least two hours of the day.

To combat this, large semi-operable windows stretch floor to ceiling in all units, and are aligned in ways so that if left uncovered, every room will receive direct sunlight during at least two hours of the day.

The interior street works as a scenic path, fluid patio space, and a safe outdoor space from the elements. Scattered down this path are various planters and flora to increase the quality of the space as well and dampen noise between each side of the interior street. Special attention has been made to ensure each unit has some degree of patio space along this interior street so that if they want to work in open air and direct sun they may without obstructing the traveling of their peers.

On the site there is five major community attractions. Down on the East end there is a restaurant which has indoor and outdoor seating with a view so that it may act as a lure to have more foot traffic in the area. All skinny home styled units have storefronts on the bottom level so the co-housing complex can behave more like a village then a dwelling.

In the middle of the site there is a multi-level community kitchen and dining space, which can double as a performance space with its multi-level and lofted layout. Out front of this space is the first of three clusters of vegetable and fruit planters which may be used and alternated through the years. This alternation processes means the experience of the space is ever changing, and different sightliness will arise as they are switched between growing taller vegetation and crops. This will have the added benefit of increasing the quality of crops. The site have two small gyms located on the Eastern and Western ends to be used only by people living in the village. The final community element is a park and plaza space in the Northern corner of the site. Here it is not only a scenic gathering space, an partially shaded environment, there is a large amount of space which can be used dynamically which is also protected from the wind, but not the light.5

Plan View - Passive Wind Ventilation The combination of Air scoops, underground cooling chamber, and heat cimneys create a configuration of passive wind stratigies which can be reversed depending on the wind direction. However, the underground cooling chambers effect cannot be reversed so it should be positioned along the prevailing wind sidedurring the summer months.

Air Scoop / Wind Catcher A large chimney whith an opening at the top. placed towards the prevailing winds, this tower doubles as a sunshading device, and also drects wind down into the building.

Underground Cooling Chamber Wind is directed into a underground room. The air is cooled by the earth, and then is puled up into the house by creating low-pressure zones.

Heat Chimney A large chimney whith an opening at the top. Heat rises through the building and chimney leaving a low-pressure zone beneath, which will pull fresh air into the building from the windows.

INNER PEACE + OPEN SIGHTLINE

(SAFETY-STABILITY-GROWTH) architecture as a means of social justice The National Coalition to End Domestic Violence reported that 1 in 4 women, 1 in 7 men, and 1 in 2 non binary experience domestic violence. Massachusetts declared domestic violence a public health emergency in 2008. During the pandemic, from March 2020, domestic violence reports increased by 11% in Boston. More than 50% of requests for services made by survivors in the US that cannot be met are for housing and safe shelter. 38% of all victims of domestic violence will be homeless at some point in their lives. Given the social climate, the physical need for housing of domestic violence victims is not only urgent, N but the considerate means of design of such a home for victims can aid in their recovery journey.

Especially set in a city environment where social and physical anxiety of safety is heightened for minority groups, a considerate approach to the design of the collective home in the city can redefine the meaning of the city as not only a place for work, but also a home.

Project: Floating Community Location: Boston Spring 2022

Summary:The Floating Community is a co-housing community located in Boston floating on the harbor, this project combats the issue of sea level rise in the area of Boston and has active and passive sustainable strategies to help slow down global warming, while still building a sense of Community within. The project also contains a restaurant that will have public access by both sea and land which gives back to the community in the area. The goal of this project is not only to build a sense of community within the Floating Community but also, to allow for the Floating Community to build the same sense with the rest of the surrounding area as well.

Samboende:Cohousing Project Nicole Casler Arch 515.02 Spring 2022

Inspired by Alvar Aalto’s Baker House found on MIT’s campus, Samboende not only encompasses the curve but interprets the Bostonian Brownstone on a larger scale. The curve not only is reminiscent of past and surrounding structures but it allows for a bay window to each unit providing a unique view from each window onto the Boston Harbor. In between the spaces created by the housing units are areas of tranquility that reach out to the surrounding neighborhood, inviting all that pass by to enjoy the spaces between. These spaces also act as a refuge for native plants to thrive and collect water for the community. Samboende is an urban oasis for those who live there and who wish to escape the fast-paced life of the city.

Evaporative Cooling A Cooling Technique Using Water

TYPICAL GREEN ROOF ASSEMBLY -BONNET EROSION CONTROL FABRIC -SOIL -FILTER FABRIC -DRAINAGE MAT - MOISTURE MEMBRANE -RIDGED INSULATION -CONC.ROOF DECK

Louvre

Evaporative cooling is the process of having warm air run across a cooler body of water or a structure that contains water. As the warmer air is passing over the cool body of water, the cool water evaporates into the warmer air cooling it down.

Mist Sprayers

Cooling Pads

The best source of water are ones that are shaded, either by vegetation or structural elements.

There are several passive ways of doing this; shaded water features, cross-ventilating, and passive down-drought towers:

GRAVEL Passive Down-Drought Towers: Hot air is pulled into the structure through the chimney by angled louvers. Air passes through a cooling pad, mist sprayers, or both, cooling the air as is moves down the chimney into the living area. During the winter these freeze and creates a barrier.

Cross-Ventilating: Pools or fountains inside a courtyard will naturally evaporate producing cooler air. Windows that are near the water helps pull in the cool air.

All

The structures are inspired by the Quonset huts used in WW1 and WW2. As Detroit is a cold place during the winter, maximizing sun was key to the placement of structures. I don’t believe they did a remarkable job with the placement however since the materials they use for windows are place on sides that don’t receive as much sunlight as the other sides. The placement does however reduce the harsh rays that come with different seasons. The materials used for the units are metal and polycarbonate panels for the outside with plywood ceilings and walls for the inside. The materials where chosen for aesthetic and economic qualities.

All the floor plans are relatively similar to Unit 6. Each contains a core of the hut that holds the kitchen, bathroom, storage and mechanical functions. On top of the core is a loft that the owner can use to how they see fit.

With each unit having a slight variation in size, there is an average of 16% for sleeping vs. living. The circulation takes up only 0.06% of the floor plan as the stairs are 3’ x 15’.

Leaving this project to be very open for the user. The FAR is 0.32 and has a percentage of open space of 86% for the inside of the plan.

Outside of the huts, circulation makes up 13% with the entire site having 51% of free space for those who live there to enjoy.

Sunnyside Village Washington Schemata Workshop, 2022

A large trail wraps around the site along with smaller paths encouraging exploration of nature and community withing the co-housing complex.

Sunnyside Village Co-housing is considered a cooperative suburban agrihood. Sustainability and affordability are a few of their key values.

The community strives to produce some of what they eat within their community in large and small community gardens. Instead of having homes with individual gardens each pod has a central one along with access to the larger communities. Along with food production, the homes are solar power ready and built for energy efficiency.

Common House

This is a multi-generational community that has 30 private homes and a Common House. The houses range in size from 800-1200sq ft. The houses where designed to have a construction in mind. The site is located 5 miles aways from the modular factory. This allows for more efficiency in the design and lower construction costs.
