CThe Florida CottageDesign CompetitionThe Florida Foundation for Architecture has sponsored
Design Competitionp
this program to address the issue of emergency
housing coupled with the pressing concern ofhousing, coupled with the pressing concern of
affordable and sustainable (workforce) housing.
The Florida peninsula is continually susceptible to
tropical storms and hurricanes. The 2004 Florida p
hurricane season and the more recent 2005
devastating hurricane Katrina have raised the level ofdevastating hurricane Katrina have raised the level of
public awareness of the devastation caused by these
t l di t Th ti l f b ildinatural disasters. The timely focus on building
"green" in recent years set the stage for the creation
of this competition.
The Competition is aimed at fostering research
associated with the history of Florida housing, and
is seeking solutions that will be tailored to addressis seeking solutions that will be tailored to address
the design parameters of providing affordability,
t i bilit d t t l d bilit ithi thsustainability and structural durability within the
Florida context. The solutions were to also address
the “quick response” element in disaster recovery
by providing a “modular” design solution which can
be pre-manufactured and delivered to a site.
The competition encouraged the use of various
housing vocabularies from Florida, blended with
state-of-the-art "Green Building" technologystate of the art Green Building technology.
Th titi t E iThe competition was open to Emerging
Professionals defined as Architecture Students in
Florida University’s, Associate AIA (interns)
Members, and Architects licensed less then 10 yrs.
Competition Goalsp• Raise the image of affordable housing.
• Raise the bar for design of emergency housing.
• Provide a "real world" project for Emerging Professionals.
• Provide cost-effective well-designed housing alternatives for cities throughout the state of Florida.
• Provide a hurricane resistant sustainable home at an affordable price.
• Become an annual event in conjunction with the AIA• Become an annual event in conjunction with the AIA Florida Emerging Professional Conference.
ProgramProgramThe competition had a deceptively complex mission:
t d l ti ll d i d h th tto develop an exceptionally designed home; that
could be easily deployed on short notice using
methods of prefabrication, the design would meet the
complex demands of building in Florida’s climate; and
engage sustainable techniques that would lessen the
carbon footprint of the home, and accomplish all of p , p
this while keeping the design affordable.
The minimum programmatic requirements for the home:• living/dining space• kitchen• three bedrooms• two bathrooms
tilit /l d• utility/laundry space• garages are optional - attached or a separate structure• square footage is to be less than 1500 SF (air conditioned space)• square footage is to be less than 1500 SF (air conditioned space)
• sustainable features should be incorporated• elements of “universal design” are encouragedg g• a covered porch is a desirable feature

• Plenum wall concept good idea. Thoughtful study of energy and water use and conservation. Good composition of fenestration and massing of building.
• Flexible, adaptable and expandable solution using components that define their purpose clearly: structure, support modules, skin.
• While the construction method is more conceptual than most ofWhile the construction method is more conceptual than most of the other schemes, the idea of rethinking the versatility of the exterior wall is very intriguing. I particularly like the possibility of providing storage (often lacking in a small house) as well as the p g g ( g )opportunity for a "garden" wall.

The g g g gpresentation of the design was very effective.
The Florida Cottage UNWRAPPED proposal seeks to modernize the traditional cottage home by selectively peeling back the envelope allowing an abundance of natural light into the interior and creating a sense of volume. The basic organization of the plan is two parallel bars – one private, one public with an attached carport. The entry is marked by a glazed corner which is created by un-wrapping the façade and rotating it to create the carport screen element. Public areas are unified by one continuous volume which receives light by lifting the roof forming a clerestory above. Upgrading the common palette of materials with sustainable alternatives the UNWRAPPED design is a high-performance, modern solution that negotiates design cues from Florida’s past with the present, thereby creating an accessible solution that is relevant to emerging housing needs.

introductionnarrative
point of departure
The design was inspired by the concept of the “primitive hut” thatoriginal archetype for dwellings and shelter. We attempted to literallyinterpret the concept of the hut or a simple dwelling into a moderncontext. Building upon the initial “unit” we then extrapolated thesingle unit into a modular system that could be configured in amultitude of arrangements that could be adaptable to site, climatic,and aesthetic criteria.
technologies
The design implements various passive design featuressuch as fully operable panels to allow for naturalventilation.The pods do have mechanical climate control in the formof a ductless HVAC system such as a Daiken systemwhere a condensing unit can serve multiple individualcartridge style fan coil units thereby providing a scalableHVAC system that is both adaptable and expandable aswell as efficient.
The panels can either be operable sliding doors,insulated glass, spandrel glass or solid laminate panels.The louvers allow the occupant to control bothtemperature, and sunlight as well as ventilation.Additionally the louver panels provide protection to thestructure during a weather event by doubling as“hurricane panels”.
The roof is a built up system with a low maintenancecomposite plant material layer that also provides a bio-filter to process gray water produced by the pod(s).
The structure of the pod is built of extruded steelmembers. Pods can be fully pre-assembled off site anddelivered and installed on site or can be shipped inpanel form to be assembled on site. Foundations areconcrete pier foundations with anchor ties to the steelbeam frame system of the pod.

The concept of this house was to develop a contemporary interpretation of a disappearing Florida architectural style… the Sarasota School of Architecture. The program requirements of affordability, sustainability, and modular design are all key components of this typology.
The parti diagrams describe a mass that is pulled apart to create a transparent space between. This idea was then set against a rigid grid of 14’ modules, dictated by the site and transportation constraints. Fully developed, the clean lines of the house lend itself to simple, affordable construction, yet still provide for dramatic light and shade spaces both interior and exterior.

As seen in recent news, the demolition of Paul Rudolph’s Riverview high school and other notable buildings have drawn attention to the importance of the Sarasota School of Architecture. Founded by Ralph Twitchell, including work of Paul Rudolph, Mark Hampton, Victor Lundy, and Gene Leedy, the school marked a birth of a new regional modernism that is essential to Florida’s architectural history. The elements that best characterize the style include patios, verandas, modular construction, raised floors to open up its buildings for greater ventilation, and a play of light and shadow

• Taking the given of the 16’ wide box, the scheme explores the 3-dimensional possibilities created by stacking and turning, creating “found” space for a carport, porch, or future expansion.
• Lower box roof can be used as a roof terrace –great place to sit in the evening.
• Possible alternate uses for the carport include:– Front porch or neighborhood gathering spot.– Office or work space for a live-work setup with
no commute (less carbon emissions, etc.)– Small café that avoids high commercial rents,
can function as a true “third place” for a community.
• Sustainable features include photovoltaics integrated with the roof membrane, possibly integrated with metal siding on the upper floor west elevation, to take advantage of the sun’s energy.
• Entry shows an orientation with the street side as the north elevation, but can work with any orientation, as an infill lot can not always have the most optimal orientation.
• Window shutters hinge down to become storm protection.

The intent was to design a prefabricated residential unit that could be easily adjusted to meet with different site conditions and owner needs as well as reducing the impact of onsite construction. The container was divided into three identical spaces that slide out of a standard size container to maximize the � oor area. Floor to ceiling glazing was used through out to take advantage of the day light, cross ventilation and the exterior. Once the container arrives to the site and the house is assembled, some components of the proposed unit can be added in place
