PASTORAL RETREATSTUDIO PROJECT FALL 201401

Located a short distance from the rapidly growing downtown of Greenville, SC is the low income neighborhood of Nicholtown. The goal of the project was to design an example of a�ordable housing for the residents, with a budget of $40k. This particular house is situated on a church property for the use of the youth pastor, which poses unique challenges in the private versus public nature of the house.

The public and private spaces meet only at a necessary doorway that connects them. The public side of the house (495 sqft) is very open and has inviting large glass windows across the front. The northwest wall of the living space contains �ve sliding doors spanning 16’ that can be opened to gain access to the 480 square foot deck that wraps around from the front of the house. While an expensive addition to the project, cost savings in other areas allowed for the door. This door allows for more entertaining space, which is a critical aspect of the client’s life. In opposition to the living space, the bedroom (130 sqft) faces the trees in the back of the lot and provides a retreat from the public face of being a pastor.

The structure will be built using advanced light wood framing, which reduces thermal bridging and allows for more insulation. To avoid exposed rafters cutting across the ceiling, steel rods will be utilized to help the walls resist the forces of the roof. These rods will keep the space feeling light, while serving an important structural purpose. The exterior cladding will be black corrugated steel, which is low maintenance and is faster to install than other types of cladding. The simple �oor plan and the use of cost-e�cient materials, allow this $40k house to be an example of a�ordable new construction to the community of Nicholtown.

RCOMMUNITYREVIVE

This urban renewal project was a collaborative e�ort with another graduate architecture student at Clemson to use architecture to revive an existing community.

Nicholtown is a lower income neighborhood in Greenville, SC whose beginnings date back to 1849. While Nicholtown has the potential of becoming a thriving community, it lacks a strong central location that can serve as the core of the neighborhood. Currently there are two community centers that serve di�erent parts of the neighborhood, but neither one is bene�tting the community to its fullest potential. The current community center on Rebecca Street is lacking in space and appearance. Updating and expanding the existing center will allow for more community focused programs and will become an icon of Nicholtown’s revitalization.

To accomplish this, the existing structure was retained while non-structural walls and doors were removed to create a more open �oor plan with improved circulation. A large glass entrance replaced the previous small, windowless entrance that had kept the inside of the building a secret. Multiple windows were added around the building to allow for plenty of natural light. To help o�set the e�ects of direct sunlight, two distinctly colored wrappings were added. These wrappings shift in function as they circle the building, providing shelter in one space, while serving as seating in another. To help bring the exterior and interior together, these wrappings begin to enter the building and serve as walls, ceilings, and to wrap built in furniture. Exterior wood slatting was added under covered portions to warm the spaces and create a more inviting atmosphere than the original brick exterior.

TJIBAOU STRUCTURESTRUCTURES PROJECT FALL 201303

This team project, involving three students, focused on understanding and modeling the Jean Marie Tjibaou Cultural Center in New Caledonia by Renzo Piano. The unusual structure mimics the native huts that are an important part of New Caledonian history. Before beginning construction of the model, a great amount of research was done to determine how Piano had designed the hut to be built and the best way to reconstruct the unusual shape. This shape was acheived by a perfect balance of tension and compression forces within the many members that make up the structure. The model building process demonstrated the necessity of each structural member, as the model was not independently stable until all of the pieces had been assembled.
