The cabin consists of two volumes - the main building and an annex, connected by an outdoor terrace. The foundation of the building and the angle of the pitched roof stems from a previous building on the site and creates the natural boundaries of the project. ![]() © Marte Garmann ![]() Floor Plan ![]() © Marte Garmann To maintain as much space as possible within these frames, the roof is designed with a unique, narrow construction. Inspired by the rocky coastal surroundings, different levels create natural divisions within the open interior space. The house and the terrace are cladded with cedar timber, partially covering the windows, allowing filtered sunlight into the house. The timber cladding, alongside the slim pitched roof, gives the house an almost shelter-like appearance - a sensation of a light and sensible dwelling on the fragile coast. ![]() © Marte Garmann

Once a point of knowledge dissemination and quiet introspection, they are becoming places to meet, socialize, study, hang out and plug in. Historically, we have seen a library's civic value shift from a place for things, now, to a place for people. Its unique nature is that it maintains the tenants of a public service institution, while embracing the increasing proclivity of people to seek environments to carry out activities that blur the line between research, socialization, knowledge-seeking and play. ![]() © Chuck Choi The new Northside branch aims to capitalize on its distinctive urban nature and the tide of new development behind the libraries of today. ![]() 1st Floor Plan ![]() Section ![]() 2nd Floor Plan Currently sitting at a junction of four significant urban vectors in Columbus; the Short North growing north, the University growing south, the Peach District bordering to the west, and Weinland Park to the east. Rather than one single contextual driver, the library is a reflection of this unique junction, and as such celebrates the scale, material and vibrancy of these neighborhoods. ![]() © Chuck Choi ![]() © GEN INOUE

We planned as "off-grid house" not connecting to the power grid. Designed with the idea that buildings and facilities will compensate for the place in the extension of the outdoors. Open windows, fire firewood, water water, bring lights to the necessary places. Through the intervention of such hands, it is a house that circulates energy and creates a comfortable environment. ![]() © GEN INOUE There was a request from the owner landscape designer to create a place where you can live while thinking about how to relate to the environment and energy. From the opinion of the owner that it would be good if it is hot if it is cold, water it and passes the wind and from the gentle surroundings such as bamboo groves and fields to the place like the extension of the outdoor, the missing part. ![]() © GEN INOUE We decided to proceed with the design with the idea that buildings and facilities will compensate and realize it in the form of "off grid house". By living while thinking about how to use the limited electricity stored in the battery, we will face naturally the climate and our own health condition as well. In the future, there is also a desire to open the first floor and make it a place like a camping place to open to the area, so that the front can open wide. ![]() Sections ![]() © GEN INOUE ![]() © GEN INOUE

Students of the Yale School of Architecture have unveiled the latest iteration of the Jim Vlock First Year Building Project: a two-family house in New Haven, Connecticut. The house, sited on a formerly vacant corner lot on Adeline Street, features two units that are separated by a walkway, but under the same roof, and adorned with large windows that balance the needs of openness and privacy. This year's Jim Vlock First Year Building Project is the first house built as part of a five-year collaboration with Columbus House, a New Haven-based homelessness services provider. ![]() © Zelig Fok and Haylie Chan Columbus House will select two tenants for the house on Adeline Street: a single tenant for the efficiency unit and a small family for the two-bedroom unit. Much of the house - including dormers, window frames, stairs, and cabinetry - was prefabricated in eight-foot modules in a warehouse on Yale's West Campus, shortening the amount of time needed for construction on site. Prefabrication places a higher premium on planning, and students had to work down to the level of nails and fasteners to address issues that could normally be dealt within the process of building. ![]() Ground Floor Plan ![]() Section ![]() Upper Floor Plan This past spring, teams of students collaborated on different designs for the house, with emphasis on the need to prefabricate at least some components of their projects. One of these teams was then selected to take its design to the next stage: figuring out the various drawings and details that would be needed for construction. This year's house marks the 50th project built by first-year students in the Yale School of Architecture's professional degree program. Since it started in 1967, the building project has produced structures for communities around New Haven, including the Bridgeport band shell, pavilions in East Rock Park and Lighthouse Point Park, and since 1989, affordable housing units for over 30 families. ![]() © Zelig Fok and Haylie Chan class="container-video__aspect-ratio" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/229460955?portrait=0&badge=0" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen> |
