I am active in both architecture and life!

Experience has allowed me to observe and experiment with all forms of user engagement; from the essentials of designing and detailing to the reality of the build and

promotion. I love to find ways to interact with the users and understand their goals not just with the project but the roots

of the decision they make.

The Shed

Clemson University’s Solar Decathlon project brings together an active team of students and faculty from Architecture, Engineering,

and Social Sciences, to collaborate on the design, construction and promotion of a prototypical, three bedroom, 1,000 sqft, low

environmental impact, net-zero, solar house that is cost-effective in today’s market and comfortable under South Carolina’s climate.

We are focused on stitching together innovative building methods, southern personality and local products into a home for a southern

family.

From the beginning of the Solar Decathlon 2015 Proposal, Indigo Pine has made this its mission and this is just a glimpse at the path

of our team....

Haiku House With no knowledge of the future linkage between this project and

Clemson Universitys desire to enter into the Solar Decathlon 2015 competition, the first semester graduate studio jumped into a

design project that distilled and developed the ideals of a home for a Southern family, these concepts later became the roots of the

Indigo Pine home and team.

Utilizing both Haiku and Kirigami forms, simple yet descriptive and experiential in nature, the notion of family and the home was expressed to the core. All excess was removed giving a pure idea

when beginning the design. The original design, located in Clemson, South Carolina, is focused on a typical expanding family of the

South. The home is:

3 Bedrooms - 2 Bathrooms - 1,200 sqft

EXPERIENTIAL BOUNDARYWalls produce a boundary through mass

creating a NATURAL division between the Public & Private spaces.

FLOW DIAGRAMUsers and natural ventilation flow through the public areas of the house, pairing with nature to LIVE BEYOND THE WALLS.

CROSS DIAGRAMTo move from the bedroom modules to the main

gathering area, users pass through heavy set walls. TENSION pushes users into the main space.

A HOUSE IS A HOMERely on the known,

still open to the unknown.My house is my home.

Wall of tradition, roof all about protection.

My house is my home.

Privacy desired,a community needed.My house is my home.

Meaning of a house, description of a person.This house is my home.

FRONT ENTRY BI-VENTRICALApproaching the home, one is greeted by a water feature supplied by the rain water collection

systems and stored for future use. This allows users to see the home’s strategies in use. Site Plan

As a modern version of the dogtrot home, the main corridor stretching though the center of the home is focused on creating

a comfortable environment that is sensitive to the community at large as well as the family within. This gathering space opens

to the outdoors, extending the home out to the community and providing relief to occupants during warm southern summers

through natural ventilation.

Two hearts of the home emerge within the kitchen and living rooms as families gather around to hear about the day with dinner on the stove; spending some quality time during cool

evenings surrounding the fire.

The Solar Shed Collaboration: Indigo Pine Family & Volunteers

As a participatory precedent for Solar Decathlon 2015, the vertical “Solar D” studio focused first on the transformation of a simple

shed model into a transportable structure that accommodates the users in an educational and experiential capacity. In the end, this

project becomes more than a space; it becomes a destination.

This participatory precedent allowed for learning by experience; focusing us on the issues that we were to face in construction and

development of the solar home, as well as opening our eyes to areas of potential innovation.

CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTSAt the start of the construction documents, the shed design was stripped down to the framing and broken into manageable piece to allow for prefabrication at the build site, then transportation to the final site. The modules were determined by size, weight and final height locations. The southern elements were built as modules as well and added after the framing installation at the site. http://clemsonsolardteam.wix.com/theshed

SOUTHERN CHARMTo create a usable, community friendly destination, we saw both

educational and southern elements as integral aspects to the design. To promote continual use, five versatile elements were added to the design:

planters, counter top, bench, chalkboards as well as a porch swing all designed to interact with the users.

Designed and built to be taken apart, this model showed all of the layers that go into the building of Indigo Pine. The backside of the model shows into the interior of the home as well as the ZIP panel system and Sim[PLY] structural system. pg. 15

Indigo Pine Collaboration: Indigo Pine Family & Clemson University

As an ongoing project that challenges students and faculty to corroboratively develop a small home design from conceptual to

the built environment, the Solar Decathlon provides a wide range of experiences.

As designers of Indigo Pine, we design for the southern family using already existing networks and readily available materials to produce

an environmental and cost conscious home. To do this, we have developed a puzzle like structural system, Sim[PLY], that can be

produced anywhere one can find a CNC machine.

EXTERIOR MODEL

FLOOR PLAN & CABINETRYWith the Sim[PLY] structural system as the

shell of the home, the interior is left open with no structural partitions. The highlighted

orange elements above represent the cabinetry system that, like the structure,

is produced with cut files and a CNC machine. These elements of the home are

pre-fabricated into manageable modules and reassembled within the home for the

competition. The bathroom in the home is built into the design as a contained cabinet

section to provide privacy.

SOCIAL MEDIA & OUTREACHBeyond just the design of the home, Indigo Pine is focused on reaching and teaching about living sustainably as well as our homes design and strategies. We drive to have visitors imagine what life would be like in our home. Through several media outlets, we are working on connecting elements of our home, design and knowledge of sustainability to things the users can easily relate to.

Charleston ConnectionCollaboration: Kaylee Ross

Castle Pinckney, located on Shutes’ Folly Island in South Carolina, is named on the National Registry of Historic Places. Despite this, it has been under recognized as a historic landmark and has seen little

development and preservation since its erection in the 1800’s.

Designed to develop a connection to the past as well as a beacon for the future of Charleston, the Charleston Connection is for

individuals and small groups interested in learning and experiencing the ecology present on land and within the surrounding waters.

WELCOME PAVILIONWelcoming visitors to the site, the pavilion is located offshore in response to the fragility of the site and core ideas formed from knowledge of preservation and sustainability.

The delicate island has been continuously faced with the trouble of erosion, pushing the design to focus on developing a light

presence on the site during construction and future visitations.

see school children overlooking the city of Charleston as others pass by to experience the rich history and beautiful ecosystem the island has to offer.

Page 11: Selected Architectural Design Work - Dana Graunke

With minimal impact on the site being a key concern, the structures are designed to be self sustaining with on site

production of electricity, water collection and waste processing.

To accommodate the needs of electricity, water and waste, the design started with focusing on the roof of the welcome pavilion that funnels water to a enclosed basin for later use. Spheral solar

panels produce the needed electricity while dually acting as a shading devices for users of the board walk. These solar panels allow for maximum sun intake throughout the day as compared

to traditional solar panels. The MullToa 60 compost toilet by EthoEtic processes waste with minimal energy and maintenance.

BOARDWALK SHADING & SOLAR CELLSThe screens along the boardwalk path play an important role not only in energy production, but in making connections back to the city of Charleston. While walking along the boardwalk from the dock to the belvedere, people’s views are forced in certain directions by the transitions of materials; opaque plexiglass to solar collecting screens. Spheral solar technology allows for mostly transparent solar panels while gaining a greater sun input than traditional solar panels.

BreezeCollaboration: Lauren Kenner

With advanced technologies becoming more readily accessible, digitally manufactured designs have become one of experimentation

and exploration. Though many different processes of digital manufacturing exist, our experimentation utilized the additive

process of 3-D printing in the development of a curtain system as a decorative light filter. With the wide range of current materials and the single step process, wastes of production, materials and

time were minimized. Although each individual element in the system is very rigid, the connection of pieces is soft and flexible in

appearance.

The design of the form is dependent on the decisions made in respect to:

CUBE PRO 3-D

With the personal sized 3-D printers having only minimal space to produce a product, the curtain panels are feasible on a small scale only through the

use of expansion. This alleviates the need for post printing assembly.

Organic vs. Flat Printed Design&

Single Piece vs. Sliding Link

If using the whole bed of the printer for a 68” long curtain, the print will fold over itself a

minimum of 6 times.

3-D PRINTING IN

The expansion of this example occurs not only in the way of unfolding but also by sliding links that took the width of the panel from 9.6” to 18”.

Page 13: Selected Architectural Design Work - Dana Graunke

By sending out the design to production facilities with large print volume and faster printing speeds, the curtain panels can utilize the same expansion

method with greater design flexibility.

WHAT WAS THIS... CAN NOW BE THIS...Through the use of large scale printing, the need for folding within the print bed is eliminated. By doing this, the designs can be more flexible.

While small scale printers are readily available for personal use, they often come with sizable limits. Advancing technologies have

brought about larger and more powerful systems, minimizing those limits and allowing for a greater variance in the designs.

These printers are more effective with the use of material than those of the personal 3-D computers by eliminating the

multiple layers of support material and reducing the layers that the design must stack by spreading out on a single plane.

With a width around 5 times larger than a personal sized printers such as the Cube Pro, Big Rep One 3-D printer has a printing

dimension around 43” x 42” x 42”.

By utilizing this larger print bed, one does not need to utilize the folding method within the design to get the full length of a traditional curtain panel. Through the expansion methods, one

can print the entire curtain without folding.

Summer Internship -The Kubala Washatko ArchitectsUnder construction

Three consecutive summers were focused on developing a creekwalk along the main streets of downtown Cedarburg, Wisconsin. The first summer I focused on the revitalization and development of city site plans, looking at the addition and adjustment of new and renovated

structures near the creek way. From the new site plan the 3-D model began to evolve. The second and third summers consisted of design work focused on creating a design proposal for the middle

section of the creekwalk. The design includes several types of spaces focusing on a variety of users, promoting use of the spaces while maintaining an environment that is consistent with the feel of the

community. The main desire is to develope a secondary “Main Street” to accommodate visitors during the festival season.

SITE PLAN

HISTORIC MILL MODELThe historic mill and Columbia Rd. bridge were the first of the surrounding structures to be modeled along with

the addition of the creakwalk form. This section of the creekwalk is complete and the other sections are under development.

Internship

Working at J.W. Speaker led me to a deep understanding of the delicate balance between safety, workflow, costs and space efficiency. Being a factory setting, these key concepts were

consistently woven through all projects and processes.

Initially, I spearheaded documentation of existing layout and work station light levels; to develop a thorough understanding of how to improve upon the work environment. The use of problem solving

skills was at the heart of each project that I took part in and every solution had to be reviewed at both a macro and a micro scale to

check for continuity at the factory and cellular level.

J.W. Speaker

SPACE SAVINGSWith a goal of freeing up 20% of grey space within the Whitney facility for future growth, cell designs were re-arranged to free up a center aisle from which materials would be dropped off at the back of the cell, minimizing the impact of deliveries on the productivity and interference in workflow. By arranging the cells with a common flow, they became more condensed, utilizing only the needed space for that particular job. Above is an electrical drop plan with gray spaces highlighted in orange.

PRODUCTION DIAGRAMSMany times the documentation provided to the line workers in a factory is relatively complicated and directly from the

Engineer’s desk. Diagrams such as those below were created to demonstrate the production process of a set of parts clearly so they could be quickly understood enhancing productivity.

COLLABORATIONIt was important to facilitate collaboration with other teams within the company to achieve the best workable solutions.

Many times the teams knew little on design and had difficulties visualizing spacial areas; we developed tools that

made it easier for them to visualize allowing for effective collaboration.
