01 REINHABITING THE CITYAssisted Living Facility & Housing Development

Fall 2014

Birmingham, AL

Alagasco Design Competition Honorable Mention

The generation now moving into assisted living facilities was among the first to move out of downtown Birmingham and into the expanding suburbs. This was due to prejudices against the city, racial tension and an idealistic concept of suburbia, which still must be overcome today. The assisted living facility translates the positive aspects of suburbia into a densified urban development in downtown Birmingham. The design references suburbia in scale and function where necessary to allow the suburban notion of independence to remain intact within a dependent living condition.

All units have access to daylight and fresh air from two sides.

Public front porches and private back porches

Residents without a full sized front porch enter through an exaggerated threshold

The arrangement of the units provides a removed visual connection with the neighbors above, below and on either side, similar to watching a neighbor over a suburban hedge. This creates a sense of community without compromising the suburban sense of security and ownership.

The building is broken up into four neighborhoods to provide a sense of street identity.

02Single-Family Home

Fall 2012

Bibb City, GA

HILL HOUSE

The house along the Chattahoochee River balances the primary living space in a box truss over a thick, structural wall, with tension cables pulling the north end to the ground so that the south end could be kept free of significant structure. The front entrance bridges over the automobile entrance, separating the guest bedrooms from the master bedroom and living space. The form of the house also takes advantage of prevailing winds from the river by allowing the breeze to pass under and cool the home.
