single familyRoom StudyExplore the relationship between the single room and the natural and built environment. Utilize minimal space with built-ins and ultimate flexibility.
Single Family with Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)Provide an accessory dwelling unit and utilize a zero-lot line setback to create a liveable and more sustainable single family house.
multi familyRow HousesCelebrate the repetition of rowhouses, but provide an element of individuality. Uniquely colored, controllable louvers increase owner personalization of the facade.
Courtyard HousingCreate an interior court and sense of community while maintaining eyes on the primary street.
Walk-up HousingCelebrate the essence of the walk-up typology, the entry, through change in material and color. Provide efficient units with usable communal space and increased street life.
community developmentPortland Density Demonstration ProjectExplore approaches to increasing density in a respectful and meaningful manner. Create model to not only benefit site, but the outlying areas forced with similar population growth challenges.

COURTYARD HOUSING INNER PORTLAND INFILL LEE JORGENSEN • ARCH 584 • FIFIELD • FALL 2011
Courtyard housing has the opportunity to address the issue of increasing density while still maintaining a sense of community and family-friendly gathering areas for all ages. This scheme creates a hierarchy of indoor and outdoor spaces through the use of front porches, back patios, private terraces, shared courts, and common green areas. Together, these elements work to create a livable community that allows for both private and public interactions.

WALK-UP APARTMENTS LEE JORGENSEN • ARCH 584 • FIFIELD • FALL 2011
In many sprawling communities across the United States low density housing is paving a path to a world with increased socioeconomic segregation, lack of affordable housing, and unsustainable lifestyles. While it is not appropriate to simply start erecting high-rise apartment complexes in these neighborhoods, lower density apartments such as walk-ups provide a stepping stone to increased density. The essence of the walk-up apartments is the blend between independence and community in a lower density apartment setting. This is what makes such a typology an attractive fi t for suburban communities looking to increase their density. This concept for a 64 unit development takes into account the privacy needs of individual families and at the same time provides opportunities for public interaction and engagement. Communal areas such as the gardening plots, the common courtyard and basketball facilities help encourage a sense of belonging and promote an active lifestyle. The aesthetics of apartments furthar express this individuality within a community. Wood siding is rotated to at each unit to express its individual identity along with changes in the facade plane. These elements combine to make a community within a community that can help America’s suburban neighborhoods connect to new demographics and densify in a respectful manner
