Acknowledgments I am grateful to God for the health and wellbeing that were necessary to complete this Degree Project. You are forever a model of wisdom and guidance to me. I would like to thank my family. My parents, Jean Yvon Messeroux and Marie Rose Yvenette France Messeroux firstly, for giving birth to me, furthermore, for their invaluable assistance and for supporting me physically and spiritually throughout my life. My sister, Tharina Yves Laure Messeroux for being there, always. My aunt, Marie Julienne France Voltaire , for her love and endless encouragement with my studies and work. My sincere thanks also goes to my Degree Project Professor, Peter Martin , for his patience and positive attitude throughout the school year and for all he has taught me. I would like to thank, Build Health International , for offering me the summer internship opportunities in their group and leading me working on diverse exciting architectural projects. It is a pleasure to express my gratitude to Mount Vernon Group Architects, for a great chance for learning and professional development in the architectural world. Last but not least, I wish to extend my special thanks to Michael Rafferty who has been instrumental in supporting me throughout the completion of my degree project. Thara Messeroux 5

By analysing the impact of the sun on a site, as well as the building’s location, the spatial arrengement, orientation,
daylight
access
and
other design features, I can take full advantage of passive solar design features and increase the energy efficiency, comfort and financial value of the building. Being located in Boston, we have to take in account both the heat of summer and cold of winter. Shade is needed in summer and sun is desirable in winter. 9
Site Analysis B-3-65, 149 Newbury St Boston, MA 02116 SUN PATH Assessing the passage of sun accross the site is important. A sun path diagram can help establish the position of the sun relative to a site and can be used to determine the effect of shadows cast by buildings, trees and landforms on and around the site. In order to utilize effective passive solar design features on these sites, we need to take careful consideration of the building design including the location. (e.g. locate as high as possible on the site), orientation and use of skylights, clerestories can maximize the benefits of solar access. Fun fact, each additional hour of direct sunlight exposure for a house per day, averaged across the year, added 2.4% to its market value. 1 WIND The prevailing wind direction must be considered in relation to the design of a building, in particular, for locations of doors and opening windows, and provision of shelter for outdoor areas. According to, bracing requirements must be calculated separately for both lateral wind loads and earthquake loadings; the bracing must be designed for the greater of the two loads. PROGRAM Building heights surrounding the site will affect wind affect wind speed and daylighting. Wind speed is lower when a site is surrounded by taller buildings. Also, wind speed will increase where it funnels around or between buildings. The higher the building, the more exposed it will be to higher winds, particularly where the building is taller than adjacent buildings or vegetation. VEGETATION Building heights surrounding the site will affect wind affect wind speed and daylighting. Wind speed 1 http://www.level.org.nz/site-analysis/sun/

is slowed by trees and vegetation. Plants, trees and landscape features provide shade and wind shelter, help with stormwater and erosion control, provide a habitat for native or other wildlife and can make a site more attractive. Site Considerations
When assessing the existing topography and vegetation of a site, considerations include: - access to winter sun - the amount of shading required - provision of shelter from strong, cold winds - enhancement of cooling breezes - privacy - existing biodiversity - planted species – native or introduced - age of the existing planting
N
Plants as a passive design tool
Plants and trees can assist the passive design of buildings by: - providing shade - funnelling breezes where cooling is required - providing shelter from intrusive winds - reducing glare by filtering summer sun - having species that let in winter sun during cooler weather. RAIN The amount of rainfall on a site will affect aspects of a building design, such as roof form, flashings, stormwater drainage ect. In Boston, months with the largest precipitation are March, December, November with 289 mm precipitation. The annual amount of precipitation in Boston is 1057 mm but, a building design should be able to cope with the maximum expected rainfall. Site Green Space Residential Green Space High Spine Mixed Use

William Grant & Sons Ideation Space / Design Plus Text description provided by the architects.
Being part of the growth endeavor of a brand such as William Grant & Sons was an exciting prospect for Design Plus Architects. The brief was in-sync with their company’s values of pride, responsibility, professionalism, entrepreneurship, and sustainability. These values were not necessarily imbibed as metaphors but were also prevalent in an objective requirement - of several small meeting rooms, semiformal discussion zones, well-lit interiors, a possible gathering of 70+ people for a town hall, proverbial open office; essentially a lively and happy working environment.

- The cafetorioum is at the heart of the building, like a spine who connects the building at every level, from the basement to the 3rd floor. The performance hall extends with an atrium at level IV and V which will act like a skylight to bring natural light throughout the building. PROGRAMMING
33
My space is designed to have a heart. Its purpose is to impact people in a positive way, tobring people together, to create interaction and community. It is a school designed to promote togetherness and interaction. To help people learn from each other and be more friendly. To help them feel more comfortable with one another and themselves. To help increase interaction between people, the building will have more bridges between its spaces. Visible throughout the atrium is a central performance hall that acts as a connective spine between all five floors. CONCEPT -
