LEMON CREEK, JUNEAU, ALASKA

PROJECT OBJECTIVE

This was a class base project to re-design a city and make it an urban-friendly and sustainable city in Juneau, Alaska. We used the existing site of Lemon Creek, Juneau, Alaska as our location and re-design the city. Each student was assigned a building which my building would be the first building of the proposed University. It’s determined mixed uses is an arcade, canoe store, and education buidling as it was appropiate for an urban-friendly environment.

Along with the building, I was also assigned to work with my neighboring classmates and design the outdoor space. The existing site has a river that flows through Lemon Creek and with the previous quarry, debris has effected the rivers water. The solution to this problem, as well as tackling a firendly environment, was to implement a riparian edge. We then decided to bring some of the riparian edge closer inland to also harvest attraction. This then introduced the idea of a dock area for an addition outdoor attraction. Along the path, a basketball and tennis court was put an addition due to the courts being next to a campus and right off the main street.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

This project was to design a building that has the opportinity to add addition housing space and commercial space that would help with the needs of the small village of Delhi. For the commercial space, I decided that a Taco Bell, Thrift store, and a nick-nack store Muji would bring attraction while prices being low. The residential space holds one, 6 bedroom apartment, two 4 bedroom apartments, two 2 bedroom apartments, and one studio apartment.s at

SECTION 2

The centralized floor plan allows an atrium design that also allows a large space for a lobby. With Delhi, NY being a largly forested area, multiple plant boxes with greenery and one large plant box for a tree helps the building feel like it belongs in its place. A large sky light is also placed to provide a vast amount natural sunlight for the indoor grennery and for the large lobby. All the floors are designed to be ADA Assessable with an elevator bringing you to every floor.

The overall form of the mix-use building was inspired by a step-form which allows a great space for an outdoor balcony for every apartment and have a centralized floor plan. The entrances to the apartment is opposite to the entrances to the commerical side as this would allow more privacy for the residents as it is faced away from the street side.

2ND FLOOR PLANROOF PLAN

The primary design would be the exterior staircase as this helps with the slope of the site as well as having a bigger space allowing a large open space in the livingroom which also allows a small “playgroud” for kids to run around. With the first floor being the most public space, ontop of the garage level, there is a complete separate structure which would act as the private space required for adults to work at home.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

This project was based around the recent occurance of covid-19 and the quarantine situation. Many familys around the world were affected and had to balance between work at home and taking care of children. We were required to design a 4 member family house primarily focusing on the private vs. public space that is required for work at home experience
