Contemporary Living in a Historic CityARC 602 MRPGuy Peterson & Peter PrughSpring 2012

Program: A 21st Century residence in the heart of the historic district of St. Augustine, Florida.Site: The intersection of Marine Street and Bridge Street, south of the St. George street pedestrian thoroughfare.Solution: The goal of this Master’s Research Project was to better understand Historic Preservation and how to successfully mix the old city with new construction. The intention was to create an architecture that was respectful to the historic past, yet does not replicate it. A multitude of rich historic buildings surround the contemporary home. There are ample indoor and outdoor living spaces to take advantage of the subtropical Florida coastal climate. The home is elevated to conform with the height requirements as specified by the particular FEMA zone according to the coastal proximity. Elements from early vernacular Florida structures, European colonist building influence, and modern-day design were all incorporated to create a home that blends well with the existing cityscape while offering the advantages of a contemporary dwelling.

Program: An Estuary Research Center.Site: Wilmington, North Carolina.Solution: Located on a vacant site north of Downtown Wilmington, the Estuary research center is a public place for presentation, display and the study of the fragile estuary habitat that thrives in the bordering Cape Fear River. Using the inlets, river’s edge geometry, and the city grid from the southeast, a massing study was derived and a plan was developed. Open air classrooms create the shift from natural to built environment and outdoor learning pavilions connect the architecture to a fragile site.

Program: A renovated duplex design for the Self-Help organization.Site: 1608 Chapel Hill Road, Durham, NCSolution: An existing triplex was purchased by Self-Help of Durham. The Non-Profit organization plans to renovate and rent out the units of the home. It is located in a rapidly growing neighborhood in Durham, NC. As part of a group project, I designed one of three solutions for possible redevelopment of the home. My task was to create two units with two or three bedrooms and access to both the street and the back with minimal changes to the existing structural footprint. The plans were presented to Self-Help at the end of the semester and will be used to determine feasible renovations and construction costs.

Program: A shelter for hikers in a subtropical climate.Site: Porpoise Point on Wood Key in the Florida everglades.Solution: The Everglades are an untouched expanse of mangroves, marsh and beach along the southern tip of Florida. I wanted to create a shelter that had very little impact on the natural surroundings, while still allowing boat access from the Gulf of Mexico and unobstructed views of the sunset each evening. A light timber frame and bamboo construction with a thatched roof creates a building that fits in with the environment. It is also a cost-efficient structure, with no electricity and a completely reconstructable plan in the event of destruction due to high winds or hurricanes.

Florida Southern Visitor’s Center ARC 601Guy PetersonFall 2011

Program: A visitor’s center for Florida Southern College.Site: The southern portion of Florida Southern College, along Lake Hollingsworth, Lakeland, Florida.Solution: Florida Southern College is a small college campus that was originally master planned by Frank Lloyd Wright. He designed a complete college capus; seven buildings, the water dome, and many of the esplanades that connect the classrooms and add protection from the intense sun were constructed. Many additional buildings have been added to the campus over the years, so Wright’s original masterpieces are less frequented by current students and more commonly used for architectural tours. The purpose of the new visitor’s center is to serve as a central area for visitors and students to learn the rich history and design ideas behind the origial campus layout, see the campus vision as conceived by Mr. Wright himself, and act as a community space large enough to hold public and private events and small classes. It is a building that maximizes the views of Lake Hollingsworth, is built on a diagonal grid linking directly to the heart of the campus, and with materials and details that pay a tribute to the original architect. It will be a building that connects the community of Lakeland to the architectural expertise of Mr. Wrright

“Out of the ground, and into the light, a child of the sun.” - Frank Lloyd Wright
