1. Aaron Ammanniti Senior deisgn project Fall quarter final presentation

2. Design Inspirations- Landscape Landscape  Etomology- “a tract of land with distinguishing features”  Curve of the levee a prominent feature of project site  Design intends to compliment the feature of the levee/ levee shape

3. Design inspirations- Glad  Etomology- “ light, happy, not heavy”  Design intent is to make the site glad, happy, light  Building designed to be the “sparks” of project site

4. Design Inspirations- Glade  Etomology- “shining, bright.”  Foil started to roll up, creating the idea for the site layout  Site will “layer” vertically along the shape of levee giving off different light at different heights to accentuate the curve of the levee

5. Site Layout #1  Three story town homes in blue, Two story Town homes in green, single story town homes in red, apartments in yellow  Condominium tower in corner of site

6. APARTMENTS RETAIL PARKING GREEN SPACE CONDO TOWER TOWNEHOMES

7. Wind study  Case study of wind loads on the Chicago spire  Wind hits the units glass wall and rides the twist up and off the building 

8. Massing model  Building spirals to divert wind  Restaurants located on Ground floor  Elevators and stairwells located inside core

9. Floor plan- stage 1  Rough layout  Very long, occupies vary large amount of space  Each room is sparate from all other rooms

10. Floor plan- stage 2  layout was rounded to consume less space, however layout is not conducive to a logical flow pattern  design idea was to combine kitchen and dining area as “center” of unit

11. Floor plan- stage 3  Design concept is again the kitchen/dining room as the “center” of the unit.  Center of unit is elevated 4 feet from rest of unit  Stage two design allows for a logical pattern of flow

12. Floor plan- stage 4  Stage 3 is much more square thus occupying less floor area  Kitchen/ dining area are once again the “center” of the unit  “center” of unit is elevated 4 feet above rest of unit

13. Floor plan layout- stage 5  Split level dining room/ kitchen and bedroom(s)  Strategically placed glass walls to maximize daylight and take advantage of views
