The NEXThouse was designed by seven UL Lafayette Architecture graduate students and built by graduate and undergraduate students alongside King Contractors, Inc. The home is the second project in the Neighborhood Infi ll Housing Program, a unique synergistic public/private partnership to add green, affordable, infi ll-homes in urban core neighborhoods of Lafayette, Louisiana. The NEXThouse has been certifi ed as a Bronze Level Green Home by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and strives to move the practice of green building into mainstream design in Lafayette.

The NEXThouseUniversity of Louisiana Lafayette Graduate Studio Fall 2011 - Summer 2012

Conceptual design of the NEXThouse was originally inspired through studying local objects. The Cajun accordion, a native instrument to Louisiana, became an example of fl exible layers and manipulation of form. This idea drove the form and function of the Flex House, the fi rst design of the home.

Design Phase 1 : The Flex House

The original design of the NEXThouse was a collaborative effort within a graduate studio of seven students. The house was designed on a corner lot near downtown Lafayette. Front and back porches allow for residents to enjoy and contribute to the friendly culture of the community. Upon completion of the design the site was relocated, forcing a re-design phase of the entire form.

Design Phase 2 : The NEXThouse : original design

The NEXThouse is a seamless integration of public and private space. The home has an open concept with 1,300 square foot of living space with another 400 square foot of covered porches. The two-bedroom, two-bath split floor plan features an open concept kitchen and living area with the kitchen buffering a front and back porch. A 200-square-foot loft area is found above the kitchen and it is overlooking the open living room. By opening two doors to the outdoor porches, the entire public space becomes a single room open to the community.

Architecture should preserve man’s emotional experiences through moments of cohesion between the physical and social environments, thus memorializing the tragedies of a decaying community and celebrating destruction as a form of creation.

Man has focused on preserving the physical environment, but overlooked the preservation of our social environment, thus allowing the authenticity of man’s experience and emotion to diminish.

The Mapleton-Fall Creek neighborhood in Indianapolis, Indiana has become a distressed, inner-city neighborhood and an ‘urban prairie’ of overgrowth. It is subject to a large number of vacancies and demolitions that are creating a disconnection from Indianapolis’ history and current success. This area will be developed through the implementation of a community center that acts as a memorial of remembrance and a rehabilitation of its people.

The program focuses on the intellectual, emotional, and physical responses of people in a time of communal crisis. Community classrooms, kitchens, gardens, and building studios will each become a form of recreational therapy and a catalyst for growth within the neighborhood. The community center will transform a local destruction into a form of creation and a growth of its people.

Hotel Broad Ripple offers an inviting experience into the heart of downtown Indianapolis. Located in the Broad Ripple area, the hotel sustains the unique culture that makes this area so identifi able. The Monon Trail is located directly west of Hotel Broad Ripple, while the White River is directly to the east. The hotel acts as a link between these two attractions and provides a pedestrian-friendly atmosphere.

Broad Ripple Eco-HotelBall State University Fourth Year Studio Spring 2011

Hotel Broad Ripple is focused around a centralized courtyard, creating a small community within the site and an ideal space for activity and interaction between guests. Gardens are dispersed throughout the hotel, providing public access to the green rooftops and an enjoyable view of the living walls. Guests will experience the uniqueness of each hotel room with manually operable facades that adapt their own environment during their stay.

Alexandre Mouton House

The Alexandre Mouton House was home to the first democratic governor of Louisiana. The original house, Maison Dimanche (Sunday House), is one of the oldest surviving structures in the area. From its original French construction to its many renovations and additions, the Alexandre Mouton House is an architectural embodiment of the cultural exchange and evolution of the region and architectural style in southern Louisiana.

Jean Mouton, the original owner, designed the house circa 1800 as his Sunday House. It consisted of one large room and a kitchen. This building and the Acadian house attached at the rear are both of briquette entre poteaux construction (bricks between posts) with exterior cypress siding and pitched roofs with split cypress shingles under the present corrugated iron roofi ng.

The design of this apartment building adapts to the hot and humid climate of Lafayette, Louisiana to provide thermal comfort for its residents. A single corridor on the Northwest side of the building allows for the apartment units to become elongated spaces that maximize natural ventilation. Daylighting and heat gain issues are controlled with external shading louvers. The operable facade also provides energy generation and allows for the residents to manually control their living environment.

Finances were calculated for the design based on square footage, income, and construction prices. A digital model of the apartment building also provided energy data through an Open Studio plug-in.

Often times, learning environments do not provide ideal conditions for successful and comfortable learning. Schools function as a student’s “place of work” and should be designed accordingly. The classroom becomes far more than an independent learning setting, but an interactive, social network. The students not only collaborate and interact with their fellow classmates, but with the building itself.

Learning becomes more than just reading a book or writing a paper, but an everyday observation and interaction with their surrounding environment. The students are able to experience the interworkings of the school and begin to develop an understanding of the world around them. The school becomes a teaching tool in itself.

As a living memorial to the late Julia Carson, the Julia Carson Community Center will emphasize the love of family, compassion, and hard work. The community center will create an atmosphere of fellowship in an effort to regain its original sense of compassion and community. As Julia’s son, Sam Carson, stated, “It’s about the people.” Julia had a vision of re-connecting the people. This proposal will accomplish this vision through community gardens, social spaces, and available housing. Spaces will encourage interaction with neighbors, nature, and the building itself.

“Urban gardening” will provide space for on-site production of vegetation. Recycled materials from within the community will become the Julia Carson Art Garden. Workshops will stimulate knowledge on the building and maintaining of gardens so that the people can learn to renew and re-use their lifestyles. This process of re-building will bring the people together. Through growth, interaction, and sustenance, neighbors will continue to gather in memory of Julia Carson.

McKinley Street currently serves as an undeveloped area of the Freetown neighborhood that has become only a local attraction of bars for college students. The redevelopment of McKinley Street will form a more dense, urban neighborhood that will become an important link between Downtown Lafayette and the campus of University of Louisiana Lafayette. The proposal will re-direct the existing roadways and form a green space at McKinley Park.

The commercial spaces will be accessible from McKinley Street, but also from the back where there is a small surface parking lot that is designed with trees, green buffers, and brick walkway.

While on a three-month study abroad, my colleagues and I experienced many new and innovative design techniques. These became the inspiration of our studio projects and infl uences that we could collaborate upon together. Personal observation allowed me to gain experience in a variety of cultures and open a new eye to the world. My sketchbook functioned as a personal memory to understand and record the sights, ideas, and emotions behind a ‘world architecture’.
