The Jackson’s weekend home on Decator Is land was des igned

and bu i l t by Rober t Hu l l in the 1980s. The Jacksons approached

Mi l le r |Hu l l about adding a guest bedroom and basement workshop

as they began spending more t ime there. The c l ients des i red to

main ta in the formal and mater ia l pa le t tes o f the or ig ina l home, which led to the addi t ion ’s s imple lean- to approach. A longs ide Mr .

Sprawl and urban gent r i f ica t ion are s imul taneous ly occurr ing in

many Amer ican c i t ies , inc lud ing Aust in . I des igned an a l ley f la t

as a so lu t ion to the problem of too l i t t le a f fordable hous ing in

Aust in . Modeled a f ter the A l ley F la t In i t ia t ive for Cent ra l East

Aust in , I proposed mandat ing dens i f icat ion in Aust in ’s mature ne ighborhoods, such as Hyde Park , to reduce the need to expand in f ras t ructure o therwise requi red by sprawl and mi t igate the burdens o f gent r i f ica t ion by creat ing a f inanc ia l ly susta inable a f fordable hous ing mechanism. A l ley f la ts would not on ly create an income s t ream for proper ty owners , thereby making the i r proper ty more a f fordable , but would a lso increase the supply o f a f fordable renta l proper ty for the c i ty ’s ever -growing popula t ion.

Sound Bui ld ing is a un ique des ign s tud io that

a UTSOA student must pass before acceptance

to the advanced des ign ser ies . The s tud io is

combined wi th const ruct ion and env i ronmenta l

cont ro ls courses to work toward a fu l ly in tegrated des ign.

My des ign so lu t ion in tegrates the bu i ld ing in to the s i te through a success ion o f double-wythe rammed ear th wal ls , whose mater ia l i ty u t i l i zes the reg ion ’s sandy so i l in a form that re i tera tes the exper ience o f the s i te as a repet i t ion o f v ineyard rows. The wal ls serve not on ly as the pr imary s t ructura l sys tem of the bu i ld ing, but fur thermore as an env i ronmenta l cont ro l sys tem which main ta ins temperature and humid i ty leve ls conducive for the winemaking process.

The des ign features an in-s lab rad iant

condi t ion ing system which takes advantage of

constant 70 degree groundwater temperatures,

a ra inwater co l lect ion system, a wastewater

sys tem for grey water appl icat ions, and a so lar energy co l lect ion system. These combine in to an indust r ia l bu i ld ing that is se l f -su f f ic ient and susta inable even in i ts rura l context .
