House
For this project, our studio was assigned a site in the North End to develop our community ten years in the future. Along with a community center, all of our residences would be located in the area. The form of my house explores the use of simple, triangulated patterns. Structurally, the house uses lofted floors to create a large, open, indoor environment. One facade is an angled, glazed wall covering all three and a half floors. These windows are equipped with special solar cells which not only produce solar energy, but also have the ability to provide controlled shading. This project was for 4.114 Architecture Design Studio I, taught by Jan Wampler.
