In a time where energy accessibility and costs are a growing concern for society as a whole, the need for more efficient work environments arise. More and more working people are willing to trade space for close proximity to their source of income. On the contrary, people with high and established incomes are able to trade proximity for prime real estate outside of the city; that is, the suburbs. The centralized locations of the sites offer a unique opportunity for young professionals to live and work within the city of Buffalo with limited energy costs. A building that combines the social and working lives of young professionals might fit the scheme. Imagine a compact version of Silicon Valley or the northeast’s Route 128 within Buffalo – a collaborative and social working environment of young professionals that are helping to drive the slowly growing economy of Buffalo. This also poses a unique problem – how does one separate work and social lives within a complex while still maintaining a vibrant environment for its inhabitants?

Units are stacked, repetitively, throughout One Bedroom Plan the complex. The first floor community space houses retail, a cafe, computer workstations, mail rooms, and bike storage. The buildings on the east and west - facing Main and Pearl - are comprised of one-bedroom and studio apartments. The Swan Street building houses exclusively two and three-bedroom units.

The structure entails a steel-structured curtain wall system, along with wood shiplap paneling to address the private areas of each unit. The material of the building is split in a way that reveals a residential building which is flanked by two commercial buildings. The residential building, facing Swan Street, is covered in wood paneling with long-spanning railings and balconies. The two commercial buildings are comprised of a clean, curtain-wall system that open out towards Main Street and Pearl Street.

The Main Street facade was initially designed as a curtain wall system with bold accents - such as the red aluminum mullions - in order to call attention to the clean and efficient interior space used by the residents. To strengthen the idea of a clean, commercial-like facade, the construction method was altered to include structural silicone in the curtain wall system. This achieved a simple design by replacing the bold mullions with a more modern approach.

DESIGN CONCEPT
The proposed building attempts to utilize the site’s context as one that is centered around an economic and social landscape. Within the city, there are two key relationships between the urban context and its inhabitants: living and working. In every city there are opportunities for both. The complex uses these two concepts to create a hybrid typology. The social program is broken down in to three components - live, work, and play. The highly residential building, located on Swan Street (consisting strictly of two and three-bedroom apartments), contains a social program of a cafe and internet stations. The two live/ work units (single-person typologies) have a public program associated with the retail business, as they occupy corner conditions that face highly-commercial streets. The third program is shared - a racquetball court and gym, located on the south-side of the building that looks out towards Main Street. The particular building strategy focuses on the privacy of the residents, while taking advantage of the opportunity to address the two commercial street frontages.

The original scheme distributes circulation towards the south side of the complex, with a total of four egress stairs and two elevators. The revised scheme moves the circulation towards the north side of the building, allowing light to enter the units from the south. Two scissor stairs and two elevators comprise the egress options.

SUSTAINABILITY
In terms of materiality, sustainable timber panels are used on the majority of the north facade. Passive solar heating is also utilized to maximize heating and cooling when necessary. The building is able to grow in congruence with the microeconomy. The flexibility of the units allows for as much - or as little - production within a space. A building that can address the constant shifting landscape of its urban context is one that can be sustainable.
The scheme is designed to accommodate the lifestyle of city-dwellers. The work spaces, living spaces, and social spaces are situated to allow separation between the programs; but, the building materials, circulation and aggregation allows the different programs to respond to one another.

To find space within a simple placemat requires the extraction of specific characteristics - colors, tones, weaves, and modulation. These characteristics can be drawn out and expressed through exaggerated representation.

Subtle, yet effective light is preferred in a factory atmosphere. To avoid direct exposure, the roof and walls are staggered, allowing ample light to enter the space without compromising worker safety. The modulation of opaque and translucent materials also plays a part in the control of lighting conditions. This inverse relationship plays a large role in the work environment itself.

MODULATION
& INVERSION
Using specific modules to determine each floor’s organization, the building is arranged to reflect the concept of inverse relationships. A play on the solid versus void relationship results in unique instances that give character to the facade of the building, as well as the interior conditions. Level One: Marina and Vehicle Parking Boats are stored at water level. A boat crane allows for vertical transport for new boats to be lowered, or old boats to be raised for repair. Below-grade parking is available for guests. Level Two: Vehicle Parking The entire second floor is dedicated to employee parking, with direct access to the circulation cores that run through the center of the building. Level Three: Workspace The workspace utilizes the lighting conditions for an optimal working environment and is arranged so that the boats are constructed in an assembly-line system. Level Four: Roof The skylights on the roof gradually expand to allow more light into the workspace as the level of construction increases. B
