A NYC advertising agency in an abandoned warehouse. Primary focus was on the concept and how that imfluenced your design decisions. My concept was developed from studying the path of the sun, how it moved through the space, and the influence it might have on the inhabitants. We also worked on innovative, moveable design solutions

Sun path refers to the significant seasonal-and-hourly positional changes of the sun (and length of daylight) as the Earth rotates, and orbits around the sun. The relative position of the sun is a major factor in the heat gain of buildings and in the performance of solar energy systems. Accurate location-specific knowledge of sun path and climatic conditions is essential for economic decisions about solar collector area, orientation, landscaping, summer shading, and the cost-effective use of solar trackers. In the Spring and Fall Equinox the sun takes a similar path: rising slowly in the morning and setting later in the evening. This causes the space to recieve a sparse amount of light at 9am, high sun before noon, and light traveling across the entire space by 4pm. The Summer Solstice brings in the most light and heat to the building. The sun remains extremely high from 9am to 4pm. The first floorplate recieves a lot of direct sunlight from high windows. Due to the low sun during the Winter Solstice, harnessing the light is important. Only half the building recieves light on the interior at 9am and noon. It is important to utilize this sunlight to help heat the building during these cold months To determine the layout of the floor plan and locations of frequently habited areas, places that recieved high amounts of sunlight or shadow were studied.

Sunlight travels around the top of the back entrance, avoiding the skylights directly on top of the building. This sunlight will be important in keeping the space bright. Some desks will need to be shaded due to the angle of the sun. In the afternoon light floods the far left side of the building. This will need to be shaded in the afternoon
The sun is the strongest and hottest during the Sum-mer Solstice. Light floods in directly from the left, top, and then right throughout the course of the day. The afternoon sun that comes in from the right will be the strongest. These areas will require the most shading and attention to detail when thinking about cooling.
Sunlight enters the building directly from the back entrance and through tall windows in the Winter. The strongest light is at noon and even then the sun is very low. Spaces need to be permeable to the light so that it can reach across the building. Attention should be paid to the spaces that are created to protect during the Summer. In the afternoon no floor surface has light; indirect light needs to reach the bottom level.
Similar to the Spring Equinox, the sun travels around the back entrance and avoids the skylights on the roof. However, in the Fall, sunlight can be utilized as a heating method as well as daylighting. The afternoon sun can provide an added warmth to the overall space instead of merely shading it away from desks.

plan are pushed and pulled to help protect multiple levels of desks and collaboration areas. a hierarchy of “sun spots” was
studied to determine what was moved and in which direction.
VENTILATION AND RAIN WATERvents on adjustable windows allows
natural corss ventilation to occur. hot air is pushed upwards and out as cool air
comes in.. rain water is collected on the wings and a pressure system keeps the
grass on the main floor watered. in a dry season grey water can be collected and
filtered through the same system.
