CONCEPT
The H Street Corridor is a dynamic neighborhood, full of energy and vitality, and The Atlas House, is a response to this context, a new urban landmark that celebrates the spirit of the place while providing a new vision for contemporary urban living.
The building's design is based on the concept of "hedonistic sustainability," which means that it is both ecologically responsible and simultaneously luxurious and pleasurable to inhabit The glass top floors perched on a stone plinth create a striking visual contrast that is both dramatic and elegant The solar shades that wrap around the building provide shade and privacy, while also creating a distinctive pattern that gives the building its own unique character
The elevated courtyard and terrace offer a beautiful oasis in the heart of the city, where residents can relax and enjoy the views of the surrounding landscape The co-working space, gym, and bike repair shop are all amenities that respond to the needs of the modern urban dweller, providing a place to work, exercise, and store transportation suited best to explore the city The building's residential floors are spacious and airy, with lofted units that provide a sense of openness and lightness The inset of the second floor creates the illusion that the upper floors are floating above the ground, adding a playful element to the building's design
The Atlas House is a new urban icon that reflects the energy and vitality of the H Street Corridor. It is a building that is both sustainable and luxurious, responding to the needs of the modern urban dweller while also celebrating the culture and spirit of city living

URBAN INFILL STUDIO PROJECT 3.1
DESIGN NARRATIVE: TWO HALVES, LIGHT AND DARK, BOUND TOGETHER BY A SPINE OF CIRCULATION. WEAVING IN AND OUT OF SHADOWS, THE CURTAIN OF LIGHT BECOMES THE THRESHOLD THAT SEPARATES SPACE AS YOU MOVE TOWARDS THE LIGHT, YOU SENSE THE SPACE EXPANDING. MOVING TOWARD THE DARK THE SPACE BEGINS TO TIGHTEN. THIS DICHOTOMY CAN BE READ FROM THE EXTERIOR, THROUGH THE STRATEGIC USE OF MATERIALS. THEY ARE SELECTED TO HIGHLIGHT THE CONTRAST- ING MASSES. ONE SIDE IS HEAVY AND SOLID, AND THE OTHER IS OPEN AND AIRY. MOVEMENT THROUGH THE SPACE JOINS THE LIGHT AND DARK, BRINGING THE CONCEPT TO LIFE.

ARTIST STUDIO GREENHOUSE
CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION PROJECT
THE ARTIST STUDIO GREENHOUSE, DESIGNED PER A CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION PROJECT, IS A SPACE UNDER 600 SQUARE FEET WITH A HALF BATH AND 8-FOOTWIDE BI-FOLDING GLASS PANEL DOORS. IT IS AN IDEAL OFFICE FOR A HORTICULTURIST OR FLORIST TO CULTIVATE, ORCHESTRATE, AND OPERATE THEIR PLANT ARTISTRY.
THE BUILDING INCORPORATES SOLAR POSITIONING, THERMAL MASS, AND STRATEGICALLY PLACED FENESTRATION FOR VENTILATION AND COOLING IN THE SUMMER THE GREENHOUSE, WOOD-BURNING FIREPLACE, AND OPTIMIZED INSULATION ARE UTILIZED FOR ALTERNATIVE HEATING SOURCES THIS PASSIVE HOUSE DESIGN ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL HEATING OR COOLING SYSTEMS, RESULTING IN ENERGY CONSERVATION
