This project is located on the campus of Clarkson University. Providing the sounthern most boundary to the campus, It separates itself from typical residential design through its dramatic organization and shape, yet communicates with its context through the manipulated landscape shelves. Its fluid parti runs across the slope side providing veiws towards the rolling hills to the south and its integrated passive systems allow for a maximum solar energy gain and storage.

Dorm Room Wall Detail - North American Cypris Louvres - Offer a natural look to sun shading - Flam spread rating 145 -150 - Density (lbs / ft ^3) 31.4 - Cypris is a soft wook howerver grows along side hardwoood and graded as such - Extremely decay and insect resdistant due to naturally occurring presercative known as cypresine

top soil insulation and water proofing cast-in-place concrete

2x4 wooden structure

- Cypris was previously used to produce pharaoh’s caskets, and in the middle ages, carve cathedral doors - Low matenance in construction / easy to work with The louvres are operable effectively shading spaces that are in use during the hotter seasons and opening to gain heat via sunlight during the colder months

Each room has a layer that allows for overheating, in effect becoming a greenhouse that will sustainheat in the evening and gain heat during the day reducing heat cost by 20%Heating room also acts as thermal insulation barrier for heat loss

The structure is a poured in place concrete.

It is formatted to precast T’s that can be manipulated based on the curvature of the building
