Bryant Mortera r e s i d e n c e Fairway, Kansas 2,300 square feet - renovation/addition completed Spring 2014 Previously serving as our client’s childhood home, the addition and renovation of this highly visible site became a unique focal point in the neighborhood. The client has a large collection of artwork which contained a diverse variety of dimension and scale. Curating the space became an ongoing discussion as the design process progressed. The result was the addition of a large open living/ dining/loft space that also functioned as a gallery. The center bay of the house now expands above the existing roofline allowing for this new program to exist. A modest budget did not allow for expensive finishes, therefore the quality of the space depended purely on light and form. The existing exterior cypress siding that had been covered with layers of paint for over 50 years was carefully removed, planed down, and displayed in a new light. About 85 percent of the new facade was salvaged from these existing board and batten planks of cypress. Fairway’s strict and conservative ordinances created a serious obstacle regarding the design’s scale, materiality, and style. After multiple reviews and discussions with the city, a comprise was made to move forward.

Gillham Park Row m u l t i
family housing Kansas City, Missouri 23,000 square feet - new construction completed December 2014
This 23 unit, multifamily dwelling is located at 37th and Gillham Road in Kansas City’s historic Hyde Park neighborhood. While serving as a dense urban development, the single building appears as if it is actually multiple smaller structures - matching the massing and scale of the surrounding historic mansions. The use of grey brick and wood accents create a modern, yet warm and inviting facade. On the interior, open layouts with clean modern finishes appeal to both professionals and young urbanites. Large windows provide an abundance of natural light while orienting views toward the tree canopies of Gillham Park across the street.

Garrison Community Center FEMA safe room and gym addition Kansas City, Missouri 12,000 square feet - new construction slated for completion in August 2015 with LEED certification Designing this structure was a final step in the process that we engaged in with Kansas City’s Parks and Recreation Department. After our firm provided a feasibility and marketing study for improvements and additions to the existing community center, we assisted in a grant process with FEMA to raise over $1.1 million dollars for an addition. Since then, we have worked with SHPO, FEMA, Kansas City Parks and Recreation, and the surrounding community to design this gymnasium addition for the existing community center. A small glassy space connects the existing building with the new facility which includes a full size gym, suspended walking track, and exercise space. The walls are 14” thick precast concrete panels that vary in size up to 10’ wide and 30’ tall. Incorporating thermal strategies and natural light were major challenges with FEMA’s strict construction requirements, but a series of creative solutions help to give this heavy structure some tectonic character.

Garrett Hennessy r e s i d e n c e Kansas City, Missouri 2,500 square feet - new construction completed Fall 2014 After working with the client on multiple design iterations, the shape of this infill residence became all about views and working with the surrounding context. By elevating the basement and creating an accessible roof deck off a lofted third floor, the owners are able to take advantage of a view to the adjacent Country Club Plaza to the east. The dynamic roofline of the house emphasizes the interior circulation and relationships to the exterior spaces and vistas.

Williams York r e s i d e n c e Leawood, Kansas 2,520 square feet - deconstruction and new construction completed 2012 LEED Platinum Sustainable Success Story - Mid-America Regional Council This home is the first privately-funded, LEED Platinum, single-family residence in the state of Kansas. Due to a compromised foundation, the former house was deconstructed and 82% of all materials were recycled or repurposed. The new, modern, energy efficient home has a ground source heat pump which relies on the stable, even temperature of the earth to provide heating, air conditioning and hot water while using about 30% less energy than a standard heat pump and saving about 50% of energy costs over standard furnace systems. A 4KW solar panel system is integrated into the concrete tile roof while highly energy efficient windows offer an R6 rating. The position of the building and placement of particular design elements were important in creating the new passive solar home. Windows, walls and floors collect, store, and distribute the sun’s heat in the winter and reflect solar heat in the summer while maximizing the use of sunlight for interior illumination. These open and light spaces also connect the occupant visually to the outdoors while reducing the need for artificial lighting.

Desmarteau r e s i d e n c e Shreveport, Louisiana 3,200 square feet - new construction 70% Construction Documents Within a traditional neighborhood in Shreveport, Louisiana, this proposed design challenges the status quo. Sited to not disrupt the mature trees on site, the home is oriented and massed to create and frame the exterior spaces. A slow entry through a private courtyard creates a dramatic experience upon arrival. On the first floor, large bi-fold glass doors open up to create a seamless indoor-outdoor relationship and extend living space. The second floor cantilevers along the entire south facade of the home to provide adequate shading on the exterior and an indoor-outdoor extension of the first floor ceiling plane. A detached carport dually functions to create a covered patio space.

Pembroke Hill F o u n d e r ’ s
Hall
Kansas City, Missouri renovation, improvements completed Winter 2013 Serving as Pembroke Hill Country Day School’s administration building, this historic mansion was in much need of restoration efforts in order to funciton as a modern office environment. Not only were exterior and interior aesthetic improvements necessary, but a complete redesign of the existing HVAC system was crucial. The design solution became a low-profile intervention through the use of VRF (variable refrigerant flow) units hidden within each individual space. These only require power, refrigerant, and condensate lines - significantly smaller than ductwork which would have destroyed` the historic integrity of the interior space. We hid the units within existing built-ins and window seats so as to not disrupt the historic aesthetic. Working very closely with an MEP consultant and contractor, we were able to route the refrigerant lines horizontally behind baseboards and vertically through the abandoned chimneys of the original fireplaces. This design resulted in the elimination of window AC units which were not only noisy and unattractive, but also blocked natural light, ventilation and views to the outside. The rotting original windows were also replaced with new high performing units that matched the original historic profiles and color.
This diagram shows the schematic idea behind using the existing stone chimneys as vertical chases to hide refrigerant, electrical, and condensate lines without disrupting the interior spaces.
Monarch Manor v a c a n t
land initiative Kansas City, Missouri - 22nd and Brooklyn new construction completed Winter 2013
Monarch Plaza germinated from an urban design initiative to address vacant land in Kansas City’s urban core. Working with KCMO Neighborhood & Housing Services, we focused on a development strategy for the vacant land on the nowdemolished Municipal stadium site. We believed that by highlighting its historic identity, its inherent value could be realized by the surrounding community. Portions of the site have a collection of recently-built homes, informally coined “Monarch Manor.” We proposed creating six neighborhood entry signs for “Monarch Manor” and a commemorative plaza to honor the stadium’s tremendous athletic history. Inspired by the metalwork often seen at baseball stadium entrances, layered metal mesh signage was designed at neighborhood and plaza entries. Overlaid on the footprint of the stadium’s ticket booth, the plaza’s benches and planters align with the rows of turnstiles allowing visitors to retrace the footsteps of the millions who once entered the stadium.

Initially KCMO Neighborhood & Housing Services’ goal was to market the city-owned vacant land to potential home owners. We approached this problem not by addressing the lots themselves, but by unearthing the inherent value of the overall neighborhood. We found this broader strategy more actively engaged the surrounding neighbors and became a celebration of what once was. As our client, the City of Kansas City, Missouri saw a benefit to their property values as well as providing a historic landmark to the broader surrounding community. In order to connect with all of its users, the City supported community engagement meetings that included the Monarch Manor neighbors as well as other community members interested in celebrating the historic significance of the site. We used these meetings to ensure we accurately reflect the five-decade reign of Municipal Stadium while tailoring our design approach to its current residents.

The project reduced and reused resources wherever possible to minimize its environmental impact and cost. The plaza’s pavers were derived from stone remnants created during granite counter top installations. This resulted in a patchwork pattern of varied color. We also worked with the landscape designers to ensure that all plantings are composed of native and drought-tolerant species.
Drawing on its remarkable history, the project re-establishes integrity and value to a once-abandoned Brownfield site. The plaza and signage give the Monarch Manor neighborhood a sense of identity and civic pride encouraging development on the remaining vacant lots.

Powell Gardens c o m p e t i t i o n Kingsville, Missouri design-build Summer 2012 Powell Gardens, a botanical garden not far outside of Kansas City, hosted a designbuild competition. As a winning team, we were given a site within the park to design and fabricate a temporary structure inspired by their chosen theme: “Fairy Houses and Forts” Primarily directed towards a younger audience, our design became a cross between the idea behind both a fairy house and a fort. The form’ s highly textured exterior resolves itself into a smooth geometric space on the interior. A playful mixture of scale, light, and texture created a unique and ever changing atmosphere for visitors to experience.

At the same time that we were working on the competition, we were coordinating multiple projects with a truss manufacturer. Realizing that the truss designs were likely wasteful due to custom sized members and harsh angles, we contacted the truss manufacturer about how their scraps are used. After receiving the photo below and finding out that they are burned on a biweekly basis, we seized the opportunity and filled a trailer with what would be about 90 percent of our final product.

The “pavilion� creates an ever changing experience through the interplay of light and shadow. Sunlight enters the space through a CNC cutout in the roof casting illuminated fairy wings along the opposite wall. Children are invited to interact with the light imagining themselves with their own fairy wings.

St. Joseph, Missouri 7,000 square feet - new construction completed summer 2014 Former residents of Miami and Puerto Rico, the clients envisioned a home in rural Missouri incorporating many of the same features they enjoyed in their former residences. Capturing prevailing breezes, blurring the line between indoor and outdoor living areas, and creating a modern atmosphere all were important factors in the design process. The challenge was to create a home celebrating these southern influences while providing a thermal envelope conscientious of harsh Missouri winters.

KCMO Fire Stations R e n o v a t i o n s a n d Te m p o r a r y S h e l t e r Kansas City, Missouri 9 separate fire stations - square footage varies currently in the bidding phase We were hired by Kansas City, Missouri’s General Services Department to work with the Fire Department to renovate nine fire stations throughout the city. The scope varies from station to station, but primarily consists of creating a better interior living environments for the fire fighters. Working within the existing masonry shells, we are using a recycled wallboard material called Re-Wall for the interior partitions where possible. These panels give increased durability in comparison to standard gypsum products. The challenge is for the construction to occur without disrupting the day-to-day routine of the fire fighters. We have therefore designed temporary structures that will fit within the apparatus bays. These can be quickly constructed and re-used from station to station.
