the initial research
3
Site analysis

• Flat terrain, relatively clear
• Existing retention ponds
• Eyesore
• Solutions?

• Scenic view on the northern border

4
Site Analysis

• Proximity to 322/220
• Good for commerce
• Noise could be problem for residential
  development
• Solution
• Locate commercial development in this area of
  site
• Create noise buffer between ramp and property

5
Site Analysis

• Western Area of Site
• Relatively far from highway
• Trees in natural conservation zone and
  neighboring mountains offer great view
• Solution
• Develop western area of site with residential
• Deal with Patton Township to beautify retention
  pond

6
Zoning and Regulations

• Lot coverage 30 max. for structures
• Building Height 50 feet
• Setbacks contingent on adjacent land
• Screening contingent on adjacent land

7
Commissioning

• Developers must work with the township planners
  and zoning committees
• Compromise on occupancy classifications and
  certain regulations for the zoned district
• Increase economy with the proper real estate
  enhancements, loft tenants, and commercial
  proprietors

8
Mixed-use Development

• The practice of utilizing more than one type of
  functional design in a building or set of
  buildings
• Combination of residential, commercial,
  industrial, office, institutional, and/or
  recreational use

• Benefits and advantages
• Retailers have the assurance of having customers
  living above and around them
• Residents have the advantage of walking just a
  few yards in order to get groceries and household
  items.
• Travel time is reduced
• Motor vehicle dependency is declined
• Encourage a healthier pedestrian-based lifestyle
  with less pollution

9
The Loft Apartment

• Wide open floor plans with few walls
• High ceilings to create cast volumes
• Large windows, for expansive views
• 19th century finish materials
• Concrete and brick walls
• Hardwood floors
• Exposed utilities (pipes, ducts, vents, etc.)

Passive Solar Heating

• Large south windows to maximize solar gain
• Atrium acts as green house
• Heated air cycled to lofts

62
Winter 3-D Rendering
63
Passive Cooling

• Natural ventilation through atrium
• Large open atrium creates a stack affect and will
  draw air from the entire building as hot air
  rises out of top
• Awnings block sun from entering windows

64
Summer 3-D Rendering
65
Insulation

• High R-Value windows
• Triple glazed
• Argon gas filled
• Low emissitivity
• High R-Value Exterior Wall Assembly
• Pre-cast Architectural Panels
• Concrete/insulation materials carry high R-Value

66
Green Roofs/Patios

• Benefits of a green roof
• Aesthetically pleasing
• Reduce city heat island effect
• Reduce carbon dioxide impact
• Reduce winter heating demand
• Reduce summer cooling demand
• Can lengthen the life of a roof by two to three
  times
• Remove nitrogen pollution in rain

67
Green Roofs/Patios

• Benefits of a green roof
• Neutralize acid rain effect
• Reduce noises
• Reduce storm water runoff
• Provide wildlife habitat
• Water saved and recycled to water interior
  gardens

68
Recycled Materials

• Building framing system is made from steel
• Steel, on average, is 66 recycled material
• Concrete
• Crush and reuse concrete from Lowes demo as
  aggregate for slabs and for drainage materials in
  roof gardens

69
Recycled Materials

• Reclaimed materials
• Brick façade made from salvaged brick from old
  demolished buildings
• Lumber wooden doors, flooring, cabinets, etc
  made from reclaimed old growth lumber
• No new trees need to be cut
• Old growth lumber has better wood qualities
  aesthetically and functionally

70
Energy Efficiency

• Lofts equipped with high efficiency Kenmore
  appliances
• Washer/dryers
• Range/oven
• Refrigerators
