PROFESSOR PETRA KEMPF

ARCH.6010 - HOUSING STUDIO

This project is based in East Harlem, NY. It is a co-living housing community with an emphasis on multigenerational living. The site sits within a dense urban fabric shaped by rich and diverse cultural histories. Its residents range from pairs of university students sharing a room and building community in a new place, to young families raising infants and children who seek an inviting, supportive environment around them.

The project began with a study of row-house typologies and the forms of co-living embedded within them. The concept emerges from mirroring the row house, aggregating those mirrored forms and using the stair as the central merging element. By anchoring the stair and then shifting it at an angle, the design highlights the constant life unfolding around it, encouraging residents to move through and engage with the communal spaces in their daily routines.

Climate mobilization is essential in today’s world, which led to the introduction of environmental features across the roofscape. The roof becomes an active surface, used by residents while also supporting solar panels, and areas of green roof.

ARCH.413 - ADVANCED STUDIO

This project is based in Tatebayashi City in Gunma Prefecture, it is a 6th industry building, therefore it must aid in the harvesting, processing, and selling of fish and crops. The site is located in Tataranuma Park where minimal structures exist other than the volunteer center which is located at the center of the park. The park has a dense tree line that separates itself from the city just across the street.

Drawing from the Japanese concept of fuchi-chiku, which emphasizes returning what’s taken from nature, the design features stepping wells and rice paddies along the water’s edge. The stepping wells are a direct interaction between my structure and the site it rests within.

LONGITUDINAL SECTION

The stepping wells are depressed into the landscape to give the occupants of the structure a new perspective on the site.

Within the stepping wells the occupants will be at eye level with the water of the marsh as well as the dense tree landscape.

These rice paddies are resting on top of the site, while a light wooden structure encases all of these aquaponic systems.

This light wooden structure consists of a series of columns that are more densely populated on the approach side of the structure and less populated on the waterside of the structure.

MULTIGENERATIONAL HOUSING

SPRING 2023

The Phoenix site presented a compelling contrast between predominantly single-family homes, low-rise apartments, and new mid-rise development emerging nearby. In response to this evolving urban fabric, the project strategically adopts increased height, unlocking expansive views from the third story upward and positions the building within the neighborhoods’ evolving scale. The sites’ existing courtyard patterns guided the decision to carve out a generous outdoor space, while the warm climate informed solid west-facing walls and exterior breezeways that support airflow and passive comfort.

This multigenerational housing complex is organized around a blend of private, shared, and community-oriented spaces that support residents across ages and lifestyles. The projects spatial strategy emphasizes interdependence, offering environments that foster both independence and casual social connection. By weaving together climate-responsive design with community-centered programming, the building becomes a flexible framework for multigenerational life in Phoenix.

The sunken courtyard becomes a shaded, thermally moderated outdoor space; its depressed ground plane and the surrounding buildings’ shade help regulate temperatures throughout the day.

JHL TECTURE PC

This is Grace Harbor Church located in Providence, RI. It is an adaptive reuse project. The building was a vacant pin factory. It was bought by the Grace Harbor Church and is in the process of being converted into the new location of their worship space. I worked heavily with the client, drafting the floor plans and sections.

PHOTOGRAPHY & 2D ARTWORK

Over the years I have found myself captivated by nature and our impact on it as a society and individually. I have taken on capturing its beauty through photography and emphasizing our impacts onto earth through my 2D art which uses trash as media to create artwork.
