Starter homes located on a use-on-review site meant to influence urbanistic trends in a developing community.
STATEMENT
With a focus on sustainable design methods, we sought to utilize geothermal, solar, and wind energy to create a passive, multi-use, multifamily structure with connections to its surrounding area.
On the lower floor, there is a partially-sunken market hall wrapped in a perforated facade and topped with a plaza deck system.
On the upper floor, there are ten units, each equipped with:- geothermal a/c supplied from coils bored in the northern corner of the site
- a sawtooth roof that combines gains from photovoltaic panels and clerestory light
- a clear path for air coming from the golf course to flow through the units
- a garage-style maker space
- an efficient floor plan offering creature comforts we considered desirable
