BECOMING NATIVE TO PLACEOur concept fosters a deep connection between the built and natural, re-engaging people with their natural surroundings and embedding the house within its context, site, and community.

The house becomes a responsive structure...cultivating, amplifying, and making visible...> human patterns and the rituals of daily living> local culture and tradition> the flows of nature - energy, water, light> nutrient flows within biological and technical cycles

The massing shifts on the upper floor to provide daylight for neighbors to the north while self-shading itself on the south side through deep overhangs, encouraging that fa-cilitate ‘chasing shade.’ The house is envisioned as a 3 bed-room primary unit located at the street and a 1 bedroom / efficiency to the rear of the site separated by an exterior ‘dogtrot’ space that is shaded from the sun while provid-ing effective natural ventilation for the entire structure. An open living space in the primary unit spatially connects the front porch through to the ‘dogtrot,’ allowing for easy movement between the public and the private while

promoting confluences and connectivities between inte-rior and exterior living. The living room area is framed by generous sliding doors that fully open to the front porch, allowing views up and down the street and promoting a more secure community.Roof and deck surfaces are ‘photosynthetic’, generating energy through building integrated thin-film pv, hot wa-ter through solar thermal hot water tubes, and green roof systems that provide habitat while slowing stormwater. Water is visibly collected through an integrated system of scuppers and cisterns.

FORM FOLLOWS EVOLUTIONThe house is designed to accommodate changes over time, allowing for growth and to meet the requirements of diverse situations, family structures, and living arrange-ments with a dogtrot space that easily allows for expan-sion.

Constructed as three modular units with panelized walls, the house allows for adaptation to improved technologies and safe disassembly and reuse of components in the fu-ture.

NUTRIENT FLOWS

Our Make It Right prototype seeks to move beyond current best practices of environmental efficency towards an eco-effective agenda that seeks to optimize quality at all scales through the consideration of a diverse range of economic, ecological, social, and technical criteria. Within natural metabolisms, the house will exemplify a Cradle to Cradle approach with all materials classified as either of the following:

> Biological Nutrients: the nutrients that support life on Earth intended to flow perpetually through regenerative cycles of growth, decay and rebirth.

> Technical Nutrients: designed to mirror natural nutrient cycles, they exist in a closed-loop sys-tem in which valuable, high-tech synthetics and mineral resources circulate in an endless cycle of production, recovery and remanufacture

> Products of Service: hybrid products that can be returned to their manufacturer at the end of their useful life and safely disassembled into parts that can be reused to create next generation products.

Our prototype house celebrates Earth’s abundance, promoting and nurturing connections between human and natural communities. The design looks to natural systems for inspiration and relies on the belief that all design decisions should support the creation of community and family. Through the house, we strive to create a safe and healthy environment, both natural and built, that embody the ideas and ideals of the human community of the Lower 9th Ward and New Orleans.
