Studio 5A

Instructor: Heather Flood & scrap marshall| summer 2020 | Wsoa

We started the semester with a dive into precedents of wood stud construction displayed in details magazine. Recreating these drawings in a three-dimensional model from the details provided and creating a diagrammatic drawing set from these models. This was the base understanding for what was to come next. Stud and frame design were the start of our own design which we started with 4’ by 8’ an 2’ by 4’ frames and arrange them to our rule sets we had formed. The rule set used on the frames in our model was to place pairs of frames and

then place a pair of the opposite size frame rotated at a 45-degree angle so that the intersect the opposing frame set. At this stage it was an individual design so each student choose there own five frame design and proceeded forward with adding studs to them at 16 inches on center. These frames were then assembled to form the structure of our FRS. At this point small scale models were constructed to observe the conditions of the frames and where adaptations must be made.

Located in South Los Angeles Vermont Slauson district with 3 times the density range of the rest of Los Angeles and a median income of 1/3 in comparison to Los Angeles as a whole. This site has the potential to maximize densities of the lots while adding multiple modular ADUs due to the small footprint of the design. With codes currently changing the NIMBY movement is soon transferring to the IMBY movement providing small unique, functional spaces in

otherwise unused space. The Garden bungalow functions on 4’ x 8’ grid to allow for 4’ foot minimum setbacks designated in SB 13 as well as allowing for multiple units wide on the standard 40’ wide Los Angeles lot. Panels were manufactured off site and delivered on site where assemble can take place in one week. Apertures were placed within each panel for efficiency and then rotated to create privacy or expose light in.
