4. VISITOR’S CENTER
LOCATION : Souther Small Town USA
This small, Southern town is known for textile mills. The town square has a historic region, to the South, that is contrasted
with modern architecture exhibition to the North. Located inbetween the two regions is an area of shops, apartements, and
businesses. A fire destroyed on of the lots and an infill area is left where the Mayor has decided to create a Visitor’s Center.
Meant to create a harmony between the historic & modern. The Vistor’s Center will act as a museum, a tour & information
center, a banquet hall, as well as an urban park.

8. PUBLIC LIBRARY
LOCATION : Clifton, Ohio (Cincinnati)
Clifton, Ohio is a smaller neighborhood just North
of Cincinnati, Ohio. It is a fast growing community
that sometimes struggles with keeping up with the
expanding, modern population. The current Pulbic
Library is one of the instituations that is particularly
struggling. The library is being used by many lo-
cal public elementary schools, everyday citizens for
media, internet, and educational use, as well as a
gathering space for local groups and organizations.
The current space is not suitable to host all of these
activities.
Provide Neede Media Center
Adequate Childern’s Space for Neighboring Schools
Multi-Purpose Room for Community
Information Center
Compliment Surrounding Businesses
9. Much had to be put into consideration when planning the
layout of the many of spaces needed in the library.
The children shouldn’t be too close to the
reference area, but not far from the adult area for the
chaperones watching over them. The Multipurpose room
would do well with a separate entrance that allowed for
events to take place after typical library hours.
Visual connection from floor to floor was important in or-
der for patrons to easily find where their needs could be
met. An open space, allowing for free flowing thought, was
a key concept. Finding a way to accompish this without
compromising on sound disturbances was a challenge.
Will patrons using the library be more likely to use typical
reference types? Or would they be more inclined to use
digital references such as internet, video, or podcast?
11. Interior & exterior materials were debated throughout the design process. The
ideal was to be slightly contrasting to the surrounding buildings, but only in
the sense to show that this library was new from the surroundings, not to iso-
late it from its historic surroundings.
The interior materials were picked to ensure a calm, serene feel throughout
the space. Mainly neutral tones with pops of colors to keep readers awake.
Glass was used in study/ private roomes to allow for visibility, while still al-
lowing for a quieter space.
A glass and wood facade was ultimately chosen for the exterior. Glass to allow
for views to the street and surroundings, wood to contrast the brick typical
brick surroundings without being too much of an extravagant material.
Multiple floors were decided upon based on the layout of the spaces.
A large atrium space, from the entry floor to the fourth floor was created to
allow for visual connections form floor to floor, while still allwoing for a quiet
reference center at the top floor.
12. SHARED OFFICE SPACE
LOCATION : Fountain Sqaure, Cincinnati, Ohio
Fountain Square in Cincinnati, Ohio is a popular area for a multitude of business types. In the case of this office
space, two similar but different companies have decided to rent & share a single area. One company is Pixel
Perfect, a media agency specializing in virtual environments. The second is, Layers. An advertizing agencey that
specializes in commericals for film and television. The two companies are similar enough to partially share some
of the same needs, space wise, but different enough to qualify for individual, private spaces.

13. The layout of the floor space is similar to that of a city block. A main
boulevard separates the two companies, allows for visitors to enjoy the
interior of the office and make their way to the exterior courtyard.
The neutral colors of the office as well as the natural sunlight reinforces
the calm, thoughtful environment of the office. Sliding panels down the
main hall create a changing atmosphere as well as being functional.

14. COMPACT HOUSE LOCATION : Cincinnati, Ohio
Suburbs of Cincinnati, just across the Ohio River in Kentucky. This house was designed for a family of 3 wanting to downsize and live slightly more compact life.
A typical Tiny House with a child was not ideal, so they settled for a 1,000 square foot layout. This house sits on a fairly small lot, with houses close on either side.
Aside from the squarefootage restriction, it was also important to maintain privacy from their close neighbors, a restriction of windows on the East side of the
house was imposed bythe Home Owner’s Association. The most important lines of sight from this house are to the North, shwoing a view of the Cincinnati skyline.
15. The three story turret allows for picturesque views to the North and West. The contemporary
pairie style feel to this house is a salute to the handful of houses nestled in the Cincinnati
suburbs, but still allowed for the house to fit into a newly renovated neighrborhood.

16. TINY CABIN
LOCATION : Indian Point Park, Painesville, Ohio
The site is located in the fork of a river, the point of the
Indian River. This river dictates the orientation of the
cabin. The goal of the cabin is to be tiny and very
compact. Two of the main interior elements transform
to create an efficient space.
The bed pulls apart and flips to change from bed
to table & bench for eating and socializing.
The door to the bathroom rotates and turns to be
used as either a door or another table top or counter.
The exterior facade of the cabin compliments the
surrounding wooded area.he vertical wood screen acts
as the “trees” of the space, mimicking the types of
natural light that enter the forest throughout the day.
Natural sunlight was an important component in the
design process. Artificial interior light was to be kept
at a minimum.
