Qhov Tsim

Txog Stair Tsev

Qhov project no tawm tsam rau tus qauv tsim tsev nyob tam sim no, qhia txog qhov tseem ceeb ntawm kev muab ib puag ncig thiab kab lis kev cai ruaj khov rau hauv nws cov hauv paus ntsiab lus. Los ntawm kev txhais dua tshiab ntawm hom qauv uas muaj lawm, nws nthuav dav tej yam txwv ntawm qhov ua tau nyob rau hauv ib thaj av nqaim hauv nroog. Kev siv cov khoom siv ruaj khov, cov ntaiv thaiv uas muaj chaw cog ntoo tob, thiab cov chaw so sab nraum zoov uas muaj ru tsev txhawb kom muaj kev sib txuas nrog xwm thiab cua nkag tau ntau sab. Lub tsev no yog ib qho kev qhia txog yuav ua li cas kev sib raug zoo nrog xwm thiab ib leeg nrog ib leeg tab tom hloov zuj zus nyob rau hauv kev nyob hauv nroog.

Yam Tshwj Xeeb: The project challenges the limited ways of thinking about residential design today as it relates to environmentally and culturally sustainable solutions. Under the umbrella of cultural and environmental sustainability, the house attempts to reinterpret an existing typology and provoke thought regarding how our relationship with nature and living with one another will evolve as we live longer in cities.
Qhov Loj & Ntim: This 3-story 3000 sq ft house sits on a 30ft by 100ft lot. The structure has wood framing and steel moment frames, and the walls are 30% recycled corrugated galvalume with insulated operable windows. The roof is waterproofed with TPO and has rigid and batt insulation. Outdoor patios have deep planter guard rails, and 3 types of stairs provide vertical circulation: circular, kick back, and tapered straight-run.
Cov Ntsiab Lus: Nature, Green, House, Stair, Typology, Metal
Thev Naus Laus Zis Tsim Khoom: The project is conceived as two volumes stacked atop one another. Each is made accessible to the other using three types of stairs. A tapered straight-run stair takes you from the street to the second level, a spiral stair takes you from the ground floor courtyard to the roof and a kickback stair takes you from the ground floor to the third floor. The lower volume is enclosed, released, and partitioned by a series of transparent and opaque walls. They move from the interior to the exterior, where they hold and gather nature, making it available to the interior.
Kev Sib Tw Tsim Qauv: The creative challenge of the project centered around providing a comfortable living space with an emphasis on outdoor living, nature, air, and sunlight, all within the constraints of a narrow urban infill lot in Downtown, Houston Texas. The design incorporated open floor plans and large elevations of glass to maximize natural light. The three levels of the house feature covered outdoor patios, operable windows, and planter guard rails to promote cross-ventilation and a connection to nature. The use of deep planters on the patios added a lush, green element to the outdoor spaces and created a sense of privacy and intimacy.
Kev Tshawb Fawb: The Project attempts to bring together the best of the Dog Trot and Spanish Colonial houses while in essence bypassing their limitations. It is a living space that seizes upon the positive attributes of typology radically modified in light of the overriding and timely concerns of our time.
Kev Txhawb Siab: The Stair House draws inspiration from the traditional Dog Trot Houses located in the southern United States. The incorporation of breezeways in these houses promoted the circulation of air, which has been adapted into the Stair House design, both horizontally and vertically. Furthermore, the project takes inspiration from Spanish Colonial houses in the south that utilize porches to provide deep shade, protection from rain, and stairs to mitigate the challenges of second-floor living and being elevated off the ground.
Lub Sij Hawm Ua Hauj Lwm: The project started in January 2014 and finished in July 2018. Stair House is in the Lower Heights neighborhood of Downtown Houston, Texas. It is situated to the south of the White Oak Bayou and to the north of the rail line to Chaney Junction. Contextually the site is bound by the edge of an industrial zone to the south and the Olivewood Cemetery to the East with two and three-story residential development to the west. The Olivewood Cemetery marks where the First and Sixth Wards meet. It is a resting place for freed slaves and is the first African American cemetery in the Houston city limits.
