Enhancing the Vista

Orientation is such that maximum vision of sea can be

achieved.

Open plan, maximum visibility, and circulation are

some of criteria considered while designing. Spaces

flows in a way that they are integrated still

retaining their identity in space planning.

Openable glass panels are used to maximize

effects of wind, light, and scenic views of the sea.

RE-ENERGIZING WEST END


The proposal is to elevate the site to match

to the existing level of downtown Cincinnati

and Mount Adams. The floors below the

elevated ground level will be occupied by

multi-leveled parking and light industries,

which will be located at the periphery.

The ground will be used for public realm

with retail and other land uses that will help

to activate the streets. Various building

typologies incorporating commercial,

residential, and public use will make this

area a high density mixed-use district.

ON THE FRINGE…


In this project, we attempt to create a useful retail

district that includes relevant commercial activities

that benefit community members; balance

neighborhood needs with city amenities; signage to

improve brand and way finding; improve NBD’s

connectivity to the wider

neighborhood; improving

pedestrian connections to

easily get around the

district.

COMPLETING THE NEIGHBORHOOD

BUSINESS DISTRICT


The project attempts to use the fistful opportunities to

gain resiliency and environmental protection. The

projects focuses on increasing green and blue scape,

increasing water table and reduction erosion.

Swale layout - the water from impervious surface flows in

swales, which channelizes it to the spotted open spaces.

Constructed wetlands - The largest spotted open space has an

opportunity to become a constructed wetland for storm water

retention.

HEDGING AGAINST DRAUGHT


The project physical maps the neighborhood to

locate the areas to revitalize. It attempts to

understand the physical structure of a place that

impacts quality of life of people living there and

helps improve the social and economic conditions.
