Keep costs minimal. On the ground floor, both pre-existing eight- and twelve-foot tall halves of the former scheme remain in-place, as do the structural bones of two faceted ‘beaks’. The complex former roof was removed for its limited use of available floor area. A single long shed now unifies the high East side of the house and its small private individual spaces with the wide-open shared space of the lower West Side. Aligned with the stair-tower extruded from a former beak, a childrens’ loft-library and two-sided fireplace conduct the East-West interface.

This project was the design and delivery of a flexible and fault-tolerant main equipment closet (MEC) housing an enterprise-class infrastructure that services a 20,000 square foot home, a vibrant business, and a world-class home theater. In Boca Theater and Automation’s experience, the three cornerstones of any successful project in South Florida involve clean power, proper management of heat, and ANSI/TIA certified copper and fiber terminations; enterprise-class systems add in redundancy where it matters. To achieve this level of performance, the MEC and all endpoints are powered by a RoseWater HUB20 system backed up by a large-scale generator. The MEC is cooled using a dedicated air conditioner with four backup 300CFM exhaust fans triggered by temperature sensors. Both systems send alerts monitoring key parameters such as heat, moisture, incoming power, battery health, and more. Every rack-mounted device can be individually rebooted using the custom-designed touch panel interface, or from sixty-four labeled buttons on the user side of the rack. BTA designed patch bays provide professional landing points for 11.7 miles of low voltage copper and fiber runs servicing the entire campus, and each termination was tested using a Fluke DSX8000 system following extended ANSI/TIA guidelines for 10GB permalink installations.

ENGINEERING + SCIENCE: Award of Excellence PROJECT: Chatham University Eden Hall Campus CLIENT: Chatham University ENGINEERS: Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc.; Biohabitats; Interface Engineering ARCHITECTURE FIRM: Mithūn CONTRACTORS: SOTA Construction Services, Inc. PHOTOGRAPHER: Annie O’Neill Photography DESCRIPTION: The Eden Hall Campus’ stormwater and wastewater management systems employ a number of proven strategies and technologies in combination and with a unique decentralized approach. A “treat it where it falls” approach utilizes a series of rain gardens around the site to manage small drainage areas while roof runoff is directed to a 50,000 gallon retention tank and is repurposed for site irrigation needs. The wastewater treatment system includes individual building primary treatment tanks and two sub-surface constructed wetland cells. Site design and landscape not only performs a functional purpose for stormwater and wastewater but also provides an aesthetic bridge between the architecture and the site. JURY COMMENTS: This building reminds us of the importance of water, and also basic and natural technologies that are highly effective. The complete built project functions as an efficient machine while never giving the appearance of being a machine. As a first phase of a proposed new campus, the standards are already set impressively high.

The torii house is so named as the dwelling's architectural form resembles the traditional japanese torii gate, with its vertical pillars topped by a horizontal beam (roof), kept together by a tie-beam (2nd floor/ main floor ceiling) The deep overhangs further emphasize the expression of horizontality in contrast with the vertical nature of the surrounding tree stands that envelope the site. The design draws on the customary Japanese concepts of 'shakkei' (borrowed landscape) and 'hisashi' (deep eaves) to create a subtle relationship between the house and site. As a tactile and design aesthetic, the muted tones of the exterior palette helps to create an effective interface between the house and its surroundings. Set on a gently rolling landscape of prairie grass, one approaches the front entry via a transitional space consisting of a raised landscaped platform made of field rock gathered from the site. The generous main entry leads to a lineal arrangement of open living spaces comprising most of the ground floor with bedrooms on the second level that open on to large balconies in proximity to the tree canopy. Although the house is expressed with clarity and simplicity, the designs transcends function and practicality while still achieving uniqueness and individuality. :: thirdstone inc.
