Location: 10 Pheasant Way, Ithaca NY Area: 2,000 sq ft.

Client: Kim Family Proposal By: Sarah Black

client profile & design goals Location: Ithaca NY Family Members: 4 total Mother: Artist Father: Physicist Children: Girl (5), Boy (11)

The Kim Family requires a variety of different design considerations in order to provide a comfortable, convenient, efficient, and beautiful home atmosphere. The key considerations that were carefully thought about in this design proposal were (a) accessibility, (b) sustainability, (c) smart-house technology, (d) furniture, and (e) flooring and materials. Each of these components drove the design to ensure it would be suitable for the Kim’s.

KEY POINTS • Very busy day-to-day lifestyle

ACCESSIBILITY

• They appreciate spaces that allow

Ensure the house accommodates future needs.

While it might not be necessary now, it is important that it is adaptable so the family can make easy lifestyle transitions,

them to spend time together • Value sustainability • They would benefit from smarthouse components.

SPECIAL NEEDS 5-year old daughter has Congenital Muscular Dystrophy which means there are physical limitations she has that her environment must support.

SUSTAINABILITY To play a part in helping the environment and to minimize electrical costs, this house will consider sustainable features such as both solar energy and material choice.

// kim family SMART-HOME TECH Smart-house features are an important consideration to keep the house current and to help accommodate the family’s needs in regard to accessibility.

FURNITURE The furniture will be warm, welcoming, and maintain a clean look. In lounge areas, furniture will be soft to avoid danger when children are playing.

MATERIALS Locally sourced, sustainable materials will be used that will minimize cost and allow for heating by sun, etc. Industrial and warm textures will be used.

SUSTAINABILITY Using both raw and reused local materials, as well as efficient green-building strategies, 10 Pheasant Way achieves maximum efficiency and lowers energy costs.

research | solar energy PROJECT SITE

To maximize the efficiency of the solar panels on the roof of the house, it is important that the structure is oriented so that the roof (angled at 20-30 degrees) is facing South.

TILTED ROOF

This orientation also allows for the front of the house (Living Room, Kitchen, Master Bedroom) to receive lots of daylight throughout the day, as these rooms are South-facing. This light from the sun entering the front of the house allows for those rooms to utilize natural heating which ultimately minimizes the need for electrical heating throughout.

research | tesla solar roof

Tesla’s Solar Roof complements the architecture of the home while turning sunlight into electricity, creating a more aesthetically pleasing look to the house than a traditional solar panel. Energy collected during the day is stored and made available any time with the Tesla Powerwall. Glass tiles are so durable they are warrantied for the lifetime of the house.

$27,900 - $42,300 - $10,100 + $12,700

Value of Energy Cost of Roof Cost of Powerwall Battery Tax Credit

= $11,800 Net cost over 30 years (A traditional roof starts at about $6,500 in comparison) A solar roof located at 10 Pheasant Way can generate $27,900 ($78/month) of energy over 30 years.

OTHER sustainable features / research DOUBLEGLAZED WINDOWS

Double glazed windows have a sealed air gap between the two panes and act as an added layer of insulation. This added thermal resistance reduces the amount of heat escaping in winter and keeps the home at a more comfortable temperature.

Double glazing has the reverse effect in summer, preventing unwanted heat from coming into the home. This extra insulation lessens the reliance on artificial heaters and air conditioners and can ultimately reduce energy costs.

MATERIALS: HIGH THERMAL MASS

Thermal mass is the ability of a material to absorb and store heat energy. Materials with high thermal mass are helpful to use in homes and buildings as they passively heat and cool the home.

Concrete, brick, and granite are used throughout the house, especially in areas where the sun hits, which will help to maintain a comfortable temperature and reduce energy costs.

LOCALLY SOURCED MATERIALS

Because this building is located in a region with so much beauty and frequent change, there are many ways to use locally sourced or reused materials for construction.

This house uses maple wood flooring which is native to Upstate NY as well as locally reused materials from Recycling and Materials Management of Tompkins County.

ACCESSIBILITY 10 Pheasant Wayis equipped with cutting-edge smart-home technology to allow the house to be highly functional and assist the Kim family in their busy daily routine. It also accommodates for the future changes of the Kim family to ensure that all family members can comfortably live in the home.

SMART-HOME CONTROLS // research It is important that the Kim family takes advantage of smart technologies so that all family members can fully utilize every component of the house (ie. If the daughter wants to open the window by herself but does not have the physical capacity to do so, she can use HomeKit).

APPLE HOME Apple HomeKit allows you to easily control electrical elements in your home in order to maximize home efficiency. The following are types of products that can be connected to AppleHome which then can be controlled using the Home app on a smartphone.

• • • • • • • • • •

Lights Switches Outlets Thermostats Windows Fans Air Conditioners Humidifiers Air Purifiers Speakers

• • • • • • • • • •

Sensors Security Locks Sprinklers Shower Controllers Cameras Doorbells Garage Doors Bridges Remotes

MOTIONSENSOR LIGHTING w/ iDEVICE SOCKET

These smart-lights can be screwed into any standardized socket in the house to then be connected to AppleHome. Immediately, by using your voice or the app on your smartphone, you can adjust the power, brightness, LED night light colors, etc. This light can be powered using Apple, Amazon, or Google devices.

research // VERTICAL TRANSPORTATION In the case that more permenant assistance is necessary to implement in order to help with vertical transportation, 2 options are available.

OPTION 1: CHAIRLIFT The chairlift is a very feasible option in the short-term which will allow for easy ascent and descent between floors.

• Cost: ~$3,000 - $5,000 • Can be electrical or battery powered • Most well-respected companies for stairlifts in the industry are made by companies Bruno, Stannah, Harmar, or Sterling.

OPTION 2: RESIDENTIAL ELEVATOR A residential elevator is a great long-term option; however, it does come at an expense.

• Cost: ~$20,000 - $30,000 (can reach up to $45,000 with the expense of instaling it into the home) • Many styles and designs can be installed to match the design of your home.

• Local Elevator Installer: Access Elevator (http://www.accesselevator.com/)

PROPOSED ELEVATOR LOCATION

LOCATION I: STUDIO/THERAPY ROOM • No structural changes needed to install it (open space on 1st and 2nd floor) • Slightly out of the way LOCATION II: CABINET OFF OF KITCHEN • Structural changes needed on second floor • Easily accessible location within house

other accessible features // research SLIDING DOORS

Sliding doors are preferred in a house with accessibility limitations as the motion of sliding a door to the side is easier than opening it in front of you.

Each door in this house, including cupboards and drawers, are sliding to ensure maximum accessibility for all family members. Additionally, sliding doors have a track that is lowered into the floor to minimize any tripping hazard when walking through.

FLOORING W/ HIGH TRACTION

Hard floors with high traction are preferred to softer fabrics such as carpeted material. Throughout the house, mostly in non-lounge areas (hallways, kitchen, entrances, etc.) a maple hardwood floor has been proposed.

This way, traction is maximized to ensure the safety of everyone in the house and to minimize risk when moving throughout the spaces.

FURNITURE CHOICE

Much of the furniture chosen in this house is generally soft and low in lounge areas, and clean/flat surfaces in others.

This combination allows for low-risk lounge spots with furniture that can be easily used as well as ensuring the house maintains a clean appearance to minimize any risk associated with mess and clutter.
