University of Oregon | IARC 510 Green Design and Build for Residential Interiors

Prof. Jan Fillinger Fall 2013

Design/Build Process/Product Book

casl in the Studio

[Class Intro]The course IARC 510, Green Design and Building for Residential Interiors, was focused on the design, selection process, costing and constructing of the materials and assemblies that give form to design intent through the components of interior construction: floors, walls, and ceilings, as well as the functional components completing the built space, such as casework, hardware, fixtures, and more. In the production of these components other relevant issues such as building code, sustainability, functionality, aesthetics, and material properties were examined.

The work required the class to work independently, as a group, and in small “project teams.” Individual projects included small focused research projects, design assignments, development of construction details, construction and materials pricing/estimating, development of construction specifications, hands-on construction and project administration. These efforts involved working with and interacting with the CASL (Center for the Advancement of Sustainable Living) representatives, as well as various other construction and design specialists.

The project chosen for the term was the ADA-compliant bathroom at the CASL house at 1801 Moss St. The scope of the design and construction work expected was to include bathroom interior walls, floor, and ceiling, as well as cabinetry and fixture selection/specification. Each student was required to complete 4-5 workdays of 4 hours per day. On-site work completed throughout the term that was not related to the bathroom included construction of rainwater collection screens, application/installation of wainscoting in the living room and general repairs around the site.

[Summary/Class Wrap-Up]

Accomplishments & Challenges: While our time on site has been beneficial in terms of learning experience as well as our contribution to CASL, we’ve yet only been able to complete framing of the pocket door wall and salvage some wood from the EMU to begin construction of the wall panels. Despite our best intentions, lack of experience has been our biggest barrier. Instead of having a thorough understanding of what needed to happen to accomplish our task over the course of the quarter, in the best cases we learned as we completed steps, in worse cases we learned as something went wrong. It has also been challenging to produce a cohesive project from such varied perspectives and diverse backgrounds and skills, but the team approach has mitigated this (in so far as the difficulty in herding cats can be mitigated). In the design and research process, we encountered difficulties with documentation inconsistencies that seem to be an ongoing problem for CASL leadership given the transient nature of student-work. On site, we were also confronted with construction inconsistencies such as floor level slope and strange framing configurations that took additional time to resolve. Throughout the process however, CASL leadership has been very responsive, supportive and accommodating.

Next Steps: As established in the construction schedule, the next steps are to have a plumbing contractor finish rough-ins and re-route the plumbing behind the sink area to accommodate the vanity (Alternately, if this proves to be a restrictively expensive task, the vanity may be moved to the wall to the left of the pocket door opening & a flush mount mirror may take its place over the sink). After this is completed & the bracing and framing for the grab bars is in place, construction can continue with the installation of the Gypsum board and move forward from there. Many of us have enjoyed being involved in this process and plan to continue with the project and CASL after this quarter to see it through.
