maintenance complex proposalfriend house site
curt sparks
the enhanced current condition site plan shows an existing
break in the wood line providing an implied connection between
the friend house and the barn location
this proposed site plan shows how the regulating lines
generated from both the friend house and
the topography dictated the location and provided a base
line from which to pursue my design
solutions
the new maintenance building is situated on
the north side of the friend house so that an
outdoor working courtyard could be
created that best takes advantage of the
southern sun
this layout also preserves the view
sheds from the offices which will now be
located on the southern side of the
friend house while creating a new entry
drive and service loop

standing seem steel panel roofing allows for a shallow slope roof without the environmental concerns of membrane layers
the roofing material is continued onto the horizontal banding of the new building
these bands create deep-set eaves shading the southern facade in the summer while allowing direct heat gain in the cooler months
the grid pattern developed from the site study was used in conjunction with alternating grain plywood panels to bring a sense of tactility to the new structure
learning from the bank barn vernacular, the new structure allows direct access to the upper level from the north side
the new maintenance building tucks into the topography for a more pedestrian scale
the linear qualities of the new building help tie it to the existing friend house
