Reimaging Oneida: apartment schemes
IAR 412-02 • Spring Semester 2010 • Due date 2/24

Now that we have envisioned our master plan, we will take a closer look at our apartment schemes taking into consideration the window and column grids, code requirements, and realistic square footages without losing sight of our overall strategies and tactics.

Generate schematic designs for your most typical apartment types. This should include at least examples of one and two bedroom schemes and may include studio apartments, live/work units and a limited number of 3 bedroom apartments.

For each specific apartment type communicate the schematic design through plan, section, and perspectives. Depending on the layout you may find a bird’s eye perspective (looking down from above) is an excellent way to communicate some designs. Use simple shapes to suggest enough furniture to provide a sense of function and scale. The perspectives views should suggest a sense of surface, light, and color (and a figure). The scaled plans and sections can be simple line drawings. Include the square footage for each different apartment type.

Show how each apartment type will fit in a repetitive way within the specific building as well as the path(s) of circulation and egress from the apartments to the exterior. This information can be communicated on the existing plans and should clearly illustrate how many units you are fitting into the building.
