The family residence is a mediation between the classic open loft style living and the needs of a family. The space progresses from very open and light to dense and private. Using the language of the open and closed cabinets, the private and public areas become apparent and the need for traditional doors and walls are eliminated. The length of the space is punctuated by beams and columns that define the living space and give a respite from the long furniture pieces. The kitchen becomes a central gathering space serving as both kitchen and dining area. No space is disconnected from the kitchen and the warmth and security it provides radiates through the home without interruption.

All of the familys furniture and services are built-into long linear cabinets creating separations without creating walls that break the space. For instance on the left is a sleeping area for the young child in the same unit as her bathroom and a large storage space. Three spaces that would normally be boxed in by walls are now contained in a free standing unit that optimizes space but still creates private areas.

The goal of the SONOS office was to foster and promote relationships that may not occur otherwise. This a an important catalyst in a large office because often people can find themselves isolated in their own work. Varying densities provide different work zones without walling any one worker away from his creative peers. When there are more opportunities to interact, especially with people from other departments. These new opportunities could lead to people finding creative unexpected solutions because they have the opportunity to interact with someone that they normally wouldnt have. This space is a catalyst for new ideas and new relationships and should give SONOS the edge that they need to be competitive in this new market.

I mapped the space according to he density of services provided by the existing space

could and the effect the density of the space that was created could have on an office

setting. By studying the patterns of density I was able to understand the overall function of the space. These maps created divisions

of space that are, being based on density of services, well suited to describing the density

of workers and people in each zone.

THIRD FLOOR

The space is based on division by density, sound quality and transmission were important. In the space there are three ceiling conditions, the first is an anechoic panel system, the second is a directed speaker, and the third is a smooth finished ceiling.

The anechoic panels create a very quiet condition in the overall office

space so that workers can complete everyday actions without disrupting

others. The directed speakers create a crucible space where people

can come together in a different condition.

The three sound conditions create different situations for interaction and work. Without

separations in between the individual workers and the whole of the office people

are free to move throughout the space finding new connections. This office will

create new conditions for work and produce new relationships, and solutions that could

not have occurred in an office with traditional separations and hierarchies.

The diverging grids of New York City provided the inspiration for the design of Ellarys Green a healthy fast food restaurant located in the South Village. The void, or in-between space of the neighborhood was very similar to the void space in a restaurant, which is also the circulation area. Circulation is crucial because of the fact that it is the void created by the programming of the service area and that of the dining area. By studying the circulation in other restaurants and of the surrounding neighborhood I was able to crate a dining area that was efficient in its service and seating while understanding and interacting with the surrounding neighborhood.

E L L A R Y S G R E E N S

FASTER FOOD VS. TRADITIONAL RESTAURANTS

Formal Dining

Sit down, almost everyone dines in the space. Service is formed through waiters and therefore needs little space

of its own. Dining is fuller and circulation is not as critical to the experience. Dining is the primary function of the entire space, and other

aspects are much more secondary in nature.

Faster Food

People can move in and out in under ten minutes. Clear circulation between entry, service, and exit. Smaller amount of seating More room for circulation in seating. Seating arrangements that can be changed easily, i.e. one person tables

join for a party of 4. Service and dining are separate because not everyone dines in the

space. Service, circulation and dining are all at play in a much smaller space

and mostly carry the same amount of importance and weight. Dining is not a necessity, but circulation is. While dining may take up a

largerpartoftherestaurantkeepingcirculationflowingisintegraltothe faster food nature of the restaurant.

In seating arrangements there are several options. Looking at the diagram to the right, its clear that standard comfortable table sizes are very modular, and that combining two like table sizes can create a larger table with enough seating for double the amount of people. Using seating methods like long benches or movable chairs can allow customers to adjust seating on the flythatcanbeadjustedbacklater.

SEATING ARRANGEMENTS

These diagrams depict the circulation of several faster food restaurants I visited. One thing that became very clear was that the path from the entrance to the service area needs to be relatively clear. Everyone entering the restaurant will have to go through this area and therefore It needs to be able to accommodate the largest number of people. If this area is too obstructed or not clear in its direction, people could be confused about how to navigate to the service and how to form a line if the restaurant is busy.

It is equally as important for there to be as much space for exiting the space, as not all of the customers will want to eat intherestaurantandmakingitdifficultforthem to leave will make it an unpleasant experience. The customer will also need to be able to navigate to a table smoothly if they wish to stay. As there are no servers this process should be as obstacle free and straight forward as possible.

CIRCULATION

Circulation-Space at door needs to be divided. There needs to be an in between space for people to move in.

Organic Space Division- Based on extrapolation of mostefficientdivisionofentryzoneformovinginand out.

Geometric Space Division-Based on idea of in be-tween circulation are and attempts to make a lot of seating.

Several techniques I saw the restaurants employ were wide designated line areas, service areas close to the door, and seating that was separate or cordoned off from the rest main service area. The only places that put the seating before the service area used the furniture to create a line space. This was only present in restaurants that were pretty popular and often had lines, i didnt notice it in some of the smaller local restaurant. These are illustrated in the photographs below.

The South Village lies at the intersection of two diverging city grids. In-between these two grids the South Village creates a third space, one that has yet to be fully developed and remains a space in-between an origin and a destination. This not only informed the space planning in my design but also the notion of boundary as the space in between origin and destination. The experience of crossing the in-between is a boundary. The threshold creates a barrier between program that is not merely a wall.

In my analysis of other fast food restaurants I found that after service circulation was the second most foundational element in a successful restaurant. Unlike more formal dining establishments dining is tertiary. Since there are no servers or guides to take the diner through the restaurant the circulation must be clear and easy for the customer to navigate. Being able to get in and out quickly is one of the draws of a restaurant like Ellarys so circulation was a priority in my design particularly in the entrance area.

The final design incorporates the ideas of the diverging city grids to create an environment that creates ease of circulation, and the maximum amount of seating in such a small narrow space. The diagonals from the grid allow the seating to become longer and accommodate more people as the customer moves towards the back of the restaurant. In the entrance area the threshold between service programming and dining programming is highlighted by the accent couch, and makes the customer aware of the transition creating a boundary between the two. This boundary also separates the sometimes hectic service area from the calmer dining area. Axonometric 3/8=1

My goal for this project was to create a space that was a place to work and to interact with the books, I wanted the space to have gravitas. The final design consists of the large center structure that holds the books, houses the librarians desk and a private study room. All seating and table surfaces coming out of the main structure were created by a folding action from the main surface. All tables and benches in the study areas are supported by folds at certain points in the table this allows for certain areas to be isolated and provide a more private working surface. The lighting in the space also helps the users understand programing, as the spaces become more work oriented the light fixtures get lower so the lighting is more specific and intense in areas where people are working and more general in public areas.

Buy the Bag is a non-traditional clothing store, that sells donated clothing by the bagful with all proceeds benefiting the Housing Works Charity. We were tasked with designing a new three story store for Buy the Bag. The design was based on the need for a system that could move as much clothing on to the floor and to the consumer as possible in an efficient well designed way. The chute system was created to both transport the clothes and create an experience that would make the user want to explore the space and the clothing. While the chute system is the highlight of the experience I wanted to use it not only as an object but to create space.

B U Y T H E B A G S T O R E

The store operates from the top down and houses two different programs, the store and the first floor cafe, that are reliant on each other. The overall experience is a complete update for Buy the Bag and will hopefully increase traffic, revenue, and interest in the organization.

The ground floor, where one would exit the store is a multi purpose space that operates as

an independent cafe during the day, as well as an exhibit on the history of Housing Works and the work that they do. The space is easily

converted into an event space. The cafe could also generate more interest for the store above

and create extra income for the organization.

This pavilion was inspired by paintings by Joesf Albers from the exhibit Painting on Paper: Joesf Albers in America. Albers paintings create an implied depth through proportional use of color and tone. I used these strategies as a guide to create rules for creating a pavilion space that could accommodate conversations between two, three, and five people . I created rules about proportion of light and white surface that dictated how each space for a different amount of people in the pavilion was defined. The resulting planes and shelters created a dynamic space that created a unique experience at every use.

To create the rules on the exact size of the spaces I did several studies on how people interact. These studies determined the minimum size of the spaces as well as their general shape and size. These studies were essential to creating the rules that would govern the creation of my pavilion.
