The intent of this portfolio is to showcase my design work from both the Clemson University School of Architecture [CSOA] and the office of Gavin & Sullivan Architects.

I am currently enrolled in Clemson University’s 2-year Masters of Architecture program. I also graduated in May 2012 from Clemson with a Bachelor of Art in Architecture and minor in Entrepreneurship. During both my time in col-lege and high school, I have worked summers at the firm Gavin & Sullivan Architects, which has given me experience I could not have attained elsewhere.

Architecture has always been a life long passion and goal, and I would like to continue working in the field. Based on my design work and experience, I believe I would be a positive addition to your office. Thank you for your time and please consider me for an internship this upcoming spring semester.

Sincerely,

John Caveney

The program called for a student housing dormitory to be built on Corso Maurizo Quadrio in Genova, Italia. It should be able to house approximately 80 students, provide an array of living options and amenities, and complement the surrounding area nicely. My partner and I provided a design dictated by both function and the students’ needs.

SECTION A-A

SECTION B-B

This project was done while studying abroad in Genova, Italia. To render the structure we used Rhino, and for the drawings we used Autocad. The surrounding area greatly influenced our design here, as our site was set on a major highway, located in an urban context, and directly overlooking the Mediterranean. Also, due to the steep slope of the terrain towards the ocean in Genova, the back entrance to our building was set three stories higher than the front. One of the main features of our design is a sloping cable garden on the rear side of our building to benefit both the residents of the dormitory as well as the surrounding neighbors through both function and aesthetics. The garden covers a series of open walkways that terrace away from the wall; creating a communal space that encourages interactionbetween all floor levels. The reasoning for the terraced walkways is to get the maximum amount of natural lightpossible into the area.

There are two exterior staircases on both sides of the building. The one on the right is only for residents and conveys a feeling of lightness. The left one is a public staircase to go from the street to the top of the existing wall; hence it is much more sculptural and inviting to pedestrians. In terms of facade materials, the ground floor is made of glass blocks that let light in, but also convey a distinct separation between the busy road and the interior. The upper floors are covered by a series of horizontal louvers which help shield light coming from the south. The stucco was painted orange to both fit in with the palette of colors of the surrounding buildings, but to also stand out from the existing wall.

The unique shape of the building is a direct result of the needs of the students. There is one main circulation tower located near the middle of the building that houses both an elevator and grand stairwell, and it is accessible from the existing 40 foot wall located behind the structure. There are a range of room styles for the students to pick from according to their liking. The first floor contains suite-style rooms that have common areas for every four students, the second floor houses two-person rooms, the third contains single units, and the top level has larger studio apartments with small terraces overlooking the ocean. The ground floor of the building contains bike storage, a workout gym, laundry facilities, and a large dining hall. There are also common rooms located on each floor in the main circulation tower. This dormitory was designed with the needs of the students in mind, and every design decision made was reasoned and logical.

This project was commissioned by the Gowanus Canal Development Corporation and called for a community center located near the depleted Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn, NY. The structure was to contain three science labs for elementary-aged students, offices, co-op spaces, as well as a small museum; all in under six thousand square feet.

For this project, I used Rhino for both drawings and renderings. The site sat under a large subway system bridge with a number of crossbars and columns going through it; making for an extremely difficult site. This called for a very unique building shape that was determined by the locations of these obstructions. Since we had the whole block to work with, my structure lined the entire street wall of Smith Street. The end result was a two-story structure on the corner of Smith and 9th, and then one-story for the remainder of the block. The goal of this project was to create a place where community residents could come to work, relax, learn, etc, so it was imperative to create a center that would appeal to everyone. On the roof of the lower portion of the building, I designed a green roof where students could study different types of plant life. This continued into an elevated walkway going further into the site that opened up to a park area along the canal. Every decision made was for the benefit of all different ages and people.

SECTION ALONG SMITH STREET

In terms of plan, I separated the design into three distinct areas; the offices, the museum, and the classrooms. This was done because of the completely different natures of the three spaces. The offices and museum are located on opposite ends of the ground floor, and the classrooms, along with the educational roof garden, are on the second floor. The spaces are closed off enough that they will not bother one another, but close enough to still be considered a ‘community center.’ Also, since the site is so covered from the subway system, natural light is difficult to come by. To compensate for this, the ceiling above the museum is set slightly higher than the tops of the walls so that natural light can flow easily into the museum from the street side. This was also done because typically skylights are better suited for museums than wall windows. There are a number of different materials on the facade to give it varying textures. I used concrete, brick, and glass, as well as metal colored plates underneath the walkway. This was done to add color to a structure that could easily go unnoticed within its context. Also, the colored plates give the building a greater community feel that is an attraction for the children of the neighborhood.

The community center for the GCCDC will be a staple in the neighborhood and with help from the cleaning of the canal, will revive the area to its former glory. By both separating and synchronizing different programs, this building will be a ‘community center’ to the fullest sense of the word.

The main feature of my project is the slanting roof members. There are two variations of these, which you can see from the diagrams on the opposite page (red and yellow). The lower, red form is composed of a six-foot wide truss system. The higher form is two-foot wide, and it is held up by the lower one, as you can see from the structure detail. The reason for these two different heights is to allow light into the field area where they are differing. This system is replicated for the length of the field, also lining up with the field marks below every five and ten yards. The only scenario where the roof system is not repeated is in the central circulation corridor, which I strove to make more noticeable and meaningful by switching the material from wood to glass.

natural undulationsindoor football practice facilityfall 2011_clem

son, scprofessor_kevin hyslop

The goal of this project was to create a proposed indoor football practice facility at Clemson University. It is to take the place of an existing practice field, and along with the field, will house a locker room, training room, film room, storage, and offices. I strove to create a structure that was not your typical sports facility. By employing wooden, undulating roof members, I created a natural structure that looks as if it is growing out of the ground.

Due to the nature of the project, I separated the design into two main program areas. The first one being the field area that is covered by the undulating roof. The second one being a green roof walkway that wraps around the field structure. This path serves two functions: it allows fans and coaches to observe practices going on inside or the surrounding sports fields, and under it contains all of the miscellaneous program spaces, such as the locker room and offices. Also, the shape of this path slightly rotates as well (see elevation), in order to keep in tune with the tone of the rest of the structure. This was the same idea when creating the slanting, band window that wraps around three sides of the building. While definitely giving it a different definition, I believe the building serves it purpose and completely adheres to all the needs of a modern day practice facility.

Almost the entire structure is covered in wood. I did this for two reasons. For one, I did not want my building to be a run-of-the-mill sports facility; I wanted it to be different. Also, the wood gives it a natural feel that fits in with the varying angles of the roof. The material of the vertical faces in between the two roof forms changes based on direction. The east faces are entirely glass to allow as much light in as possible. The west facing facades are also glass, but they are infused with wooden strips to break up the light. This is done because most practices are in the afternoon, and sunlight is most intense from the south-west during this time.

GROUND FLOOR PLAN

LONGITUDINAL SECTION

I wanted to give the entire space a very open feel. The smaller viewing area is enclosed by walls on all sides, made of a series horizontal beams with spaces in between, but has no ceiling. The front facade (which you can clearly see in the perspective at the top) is made of wooden beams as well, but there is glass in between them to allow LED lights and signs to be shown for upcoming shows. The only fully enclosed spaces are those for miscellaneous uses, such as offices, storage, and bathrooms. The sole sky coverage is a series of vine roofs that allow for protection from the elements and shade (denoted by irregular dotted shapes in plan). They also serve as guides for visitors to follow as to where to go and where to congregate. The space can be closed off for smaller performances, but for larger ones, it opens directly to the lawn area where there is another stage. The lawn slopes upwards towards the back of the site and also has the vine roofs, but they are much larger and taller to cover more space. This building is very adaptable in the sense that it can be used for both small performances and large festivals. It will provide a premier performance venue that Clemson does not have at the moment. With its open but enclosed feel, visitors will surely not forget this concert experience.

This project was an adaptive reuse plan to renovate the existing and historic Astro Theater in downtown Clemson, SC. The goal was to change it to a full-scale performance venue that could house a variety of different acts. My idea was to use the entire site to create two separate (but very open to one another) stages and viewing areas. One such would be a large, lawn area at the back of the site, and the other would be a smaller and more enclosed space, located along the street.

In the design, I tried to connect the past and the present. The front facade is composed of brick to match the existing streetscape and invoke a feeling of traditionalism, but on the right and rear sides I used a series of transparent sunscreens to convey modernity. The sunscreens break up incoming rays where the sun is most intense but still allow the interior to be flooded with unique light effects. They also serve as structural elements by holding up the exterior catwalks above them.

muter train station

spring 2010_anderson, scprofessor_peter laurence

This program called for a redesign of an existing structure to make way for a small, commuter train station in historic downtown Anderson, SC. The space allowed for a total of three stories, with the railway tracks passing underneath the main road along the bottom level of the building. The project was done with both Google Sketchup and Autocad. My goal in this design was to create a building that was in direct response to its environment; both the urban street context and the railroad.

In regards to floor layout, I again created an open plan with a visual connection between the bottom and top levels. The building curves with the slope of the track so to make both a physical and visual connection between the station and the railway. This way someone sitting in the waiting area has a clear view of both incoming and outgoing trains. I combined new and old in the interior as well, using a mixture of brick, glass, and grated metal for wall materials. The floors are all made of stone. I gave the individual rooms a compartmental feeling by having them all set away from the exterior partitions. They look like boxes alone by themselves. I used their unique shapes to help guide the visitor through the space. Adjacent to the bottom floor, I created a large outside area that provides plenty of space to wait for incoming trains. With its mixture of traditionalism and modernity, both in the exterior and interior, this structure will help revive the surrounding downtown area.

I designed the chapel to reflect the terrain it sits on. The blocks composing the building step on one another to be in line with the gradual upward slope of the hill they are on. This hill slopes upwards from the pond towards the existing buildings. The reverse side of the building stands in sharp contrast to the tiered blocks; it has a flat facade and rectilinear windows. To enhance the relationship with the outside environment, I created an organic porous facade. It can easily be seen in the model pictured below. This gives the building both a unique look (nature themed) from the outside but also helps produce interesting light effects in the interior. The building will serve as a connecting point for the built and natural environments here at Clemson.

Rather than design a religious chapel, the program called for a mixed-use structure to study the ‘book of nature’ and reflect on its intricacies. The building was to contain open study spaces, individual classrooms, an auditorium, and a museum area. It would be located adjacent to the Reflection Pond, directly in the middle of Clemson University’s campus. I ended with a bold design that stands out with its interesting facades and rectilinear shapes.

ROLLING GREEN DEVELOPMENT summer 2011

This completely modular development located in Andover, Massachusetts will include a 97-unit apartment building, two 67-unit buildings, a number of town-homes, a storage building, a small commercial building, as well as a small five hole golf course. In total, the project will have over 300 units. The main purpose of these renderings were to show the new project (rendered structures) in relation to the existing context (white structures). I also put together a fly-through using Google Sketchup for the developer to show at the town meetings. I had many conversations with the owner during this design, and it seemed the main issue for town committee members was the project’s impact on the surroundings, so it was imperative that these renderings were accurate.

The next pages display examples of my work done at the architectural office, Gavin & Sullivan Architects. Being employed at the firm for the past eight years, I have worked on many projects, and my tasks have included drafting, programmatic planning, site visits, construction documents, code research, etc. As of late there has been an increasing emphasis on modular construction at the office. Designing and constructing units off-site has many advantages, including increasing both accuracy and quickness. The three-dimensional models of the coming pages are renderings of both proposed and built modular projects done at my firm. They range from small town homes to large ninety-seven unit apartment buildings. I included plans and other drawings that I helped work on to give a sense of scale, but all of the renderings were completed solely by myself as the chief 3-D modeler.

These renderings show Emerald Place at Lake Whalom, located in Lunenburg, Massachusetts. My boss was actually one of the partners developing the project, and it contains over 300 units, comprising of 24-unit apartment buildings, townhomes, villas, and a beach. All of the structures are completely modular. The project is now in construction, and the previous page shows the 24-unit buildings being constructed by the use of cranes. Again, these renderings were to be shown to town officials and prospective renters. Other than producing the renderings, my work for this project included site visits, some site planning analysis, and talks with KBS Building Systems (the modular construction company) located in Maine.

This is a proposed small commercial development to accommodate “carriage-house” businesses, such as boutique shops, doctors’ offices, a bank, etc. Again, these structures would be constructed modually, and the site is actually directly adjacent to the project on the previous page. The style of these buildings needed to have a distinct New England feel because they were to be in a small western Massachusetts community. Again, I used Sketchup to produce these renderings, but the total scope of my work for this project was much more than before. While these are very pre-liminary renderings, they are based off floor plans that I designed by myself. The plans needed to be made so that they could be divided into boxes that could be transported by truck (approx. 14’ X 60’). The spaces also needed to be adapt-able to accommodate a wide array of different uses. My firm will use these as a basis for future plans for the project.

This three-dimensional model shows the first phase of a $100 million development of a proposed movie studio located at the former Fort Devens in Devens, Massachusetts. This building will contain four stages for cinema production (located in main structure), as well as a number of different offices, changing rooms, viewing areas, etc (located in glass structure). While the interior, specifically the production spaces, are very simple in terms of floor plan, my boss gave me some room in designing the exterior facades. It was still difficult though, because the production space was not allowed to have any windows and there was a tight budget. Hence, this design has a production space composed of large rectilinear blocks on the facade and a smaller structure with completely glass faces that have numerous hard edges and changes in depth.

This development here will also be completely modular, with two 36-unit apartment buildings, and located in Tewksbury, MA. It has a lot of similarities to the previous projects in terms of shape and materials, but the buildings are located on a much smaller site. We utilized two mounds to offset the large scale of these buildings in relation to their context; one is located along the street, while the other, taller one, lines the adjacent lot.
