ID 40ResidentialDesignFinal ProjectBarrier Free DesignFinal ProjectBarrier Free Design: You have successfully completed 3 designprojects of varying scope: Furniture Planning Space Planning Design/Build Project The remainder of the semester is dedicated to afinal design/build project. The residence must be universally accessible: Barrier Free DesignProject Parameters: Your final project requires a real client withlimited mobility from a physical impairment. The current (or future) use of a wheelchair is required. You may already know someone like this OR youmay contact the Disability and EducationalSupport Program on campus: (408) 741-2010 There are many handicapped WVC students andstaff who enjoy participating in this program eachsemester.Programming: This new residence will be located on the existingsite of a caretaker’s property. The design/build requirements are: 2500 sq. ft./one story residence. Level changes may occur if properly negotiated. Detached from the main (caretaker’s) residence. Functionally independent from the main residence.ProgrammingDocumentation: Interview the client. Establish a Client Profile. Using this information, develop a ProjectProgram. Review design requirements. Create a Scope of Services. Establish the Design Concept. Prepare a Design Intent Statement. How you plan to execute the concept.This information must be type-written and submitted with theSpecification Binder.Considerations: You must orient this residence on anexisting site by determining the varyingsteepness of slope. Elements to consider: Relationship to sun, wind, existing buildings, view,landscape. Direction and degree of slope. Special needs for client accessibility and safety. Interior/exterior relationships and transitions. Interior/exterior lighting.Design Studies: Review the Site Study you have been given: Graph the angled contours of the slope on flimsy. Using this information, determine placement for the newresidence. Indicate the orientation of the new building on the siteplan. (This image will used on the Title Sheet of yourplan set). Show exterior finishes where applicable, (ie. gravel,concrete, rock, wood, etc.) This information will also be included in yourSpecification Binder.Design Studies: Prepare a 3-dimensional Study Model: To be constructed at 1/4” = 1’ -0” scale. Model may be constructed with 3/16” foam-core(recommended), illustration board, balsa wood,etc. Used to study openings, changes in planes, roofoverhangs, built-ins, and larger pieces of furniture. This is an important tool that helps uncover anydesign flaws before final submission.Documentation: You must provide a full set of plans, toinclude: Floorplan (Construction Plan) Electrical, Lighting, Ceiling Plan (or any combo): Electrical combined with Lighting Plan. Reflected Ceiling Plan combined with Lighting. Furniture Plan (may be combined with Electrical) Finish Plan/Finish Schedule Elevations (and/or Axonometrics)Elevations: It is common practice to include elevations of keyareas in a plan set. Elevations are always drafted at 1/2” = 1’- 0” scale. Rendered elevations are presented to the clientduring design development. You must submit 3 elevations or 3 axonemetricdrawings for the following views: Living area Kitchen Accessible bathroomAxonometric Drawings: Elevations do not show depth. They are often confusing to the client. Axon drawings create a false perspective. Client’s can visualize the space in 3-D. Axon drawings are shown during clientpresentations, but are not included with the planset.Whichever format you select, these drawings are to be fully renderedand included on your final Presentation Boards.Presentation Boards: All presentation materials must be mounted onfoam core or illustration board (use 1/2 sheet size). These boards are presented to showcase thedesign to the client. They include: Elevations and/or Axonometrics (rendered) Samples of select Furniture and FinishesNot every piece of furniture and finish needs to be presented….Insteadprovide selections that give an overall impression of the concept.Specification Binder: Commonly referred to as the “Spec. Book”, this iswhere the Designer catalogs everything beingspecified for the project. Information can include: Finish materials. Furniture, fabrics, existing furniture inventory. Manufacturer’s product information/brochures for: Cabinetry, hardware, lighting, skylights, windows/doors...Specification BinderHow to’s….. Once you begin the final selection process: Fill-out the Furniture Specification forms you were given. Create new forms for Finish specs. Assign Item Codes to each specification. Finishes and furniture must be cross-referencedfrom the spec. book to Finish and Furniture Plans. The assigned Item Code appears: At the top of the Spec. Sheet. On the appropriate plan. In the Plan Legend (which is affixed to the back of eachpresentation board).Don’t Worry…. We will devote an entire class session to thecreation and organization of the SpecificationBinder. You will learn how to create a Finish Planand format the Spec. Book. For now, keep an organized collection ofeverything you are using for the project. Keep the information separated by room locationsor type of specification. Incorporate a system that works best for you!Final Project:How to begin….. Contact and interview the client. Establish the project program. Develop your concept for the design. Establish the number of rooms needed. Estimate sq. footage requirements. Begin adjacency studies. Now you are ready to assess the site and find anappropriate location for the residence.Site Study: You were given a Site Plan for review. The plan was originally drafted at 1/16” scale, buthas been reduced by 50% The plan is actually 1/32” = 1’- 0” scale. You must graph the rise of the slope to determinewhere to place this residence. Remember to consider view potential andadjacency to the caretaker’s residence.Remember to factor in the 50% reduction of the Site Plan...You do not want your residence to appear out of scale with the site!Contour Lines: Equally spaced contours indicate a constant slope. Widely spaced contours indicate relatively flat
