Sign of the Times


Looking for directions on the road to sustainability? At Leger Wanaselja Architecture's multifamily development in Berkeley, California, all signs point to green.

Berkeley, California, has long been home to forward-thinking, ecologically minded activists, and with Leger Wanaselja Architecture leading the way, even the buildings are catching up.
the dwight way house detail street sign fence
If you haven’t seen a Toyota Prius on the road, chances are you haven’t been on a road lately. The heralded gas-electric hybrid sedan, with its semifuturistic countenance, leads the world in hybrid sales. Toyota has already sold over 50,000 Priuses in the first half of 2005, outpacing the rival Honda Civic Hybrid by 40,000. If you haven’t noticed many Civic Hybrids out there, it’s not just due to disappointing sales figures, but rather because the Civic looks identical to its gas-guzzling older sibling. If there’s a lesson to be learned, it’s this: If you’re going to go green, it pays to be conspicuous.

But is the same true for architecture? “I think it’s actually the opposite,” contends Katy Hollbacher, program manager of the nonprofit organization Build It Green. “Green building is currently very similar to conventional building as far as aesthetics go.” However, in Berkeley, California, at the busy intersection of Dwight Way and Martin Luther King Jr. Way, sits a notable exception. With a fence made from street signs, awnings crafted from hatchback windows, traffic-sign siding, and a gate fashioned out of Volvo station wagon doors, the Dwight Way, a mixed-use urban-infill project designed, built, and developed by Leger Wanaselja Architecture, is nothing if not conspicuous.

“The response was overwhelming,” says architect Cate Leger, recalling the open houses held for prospective buyers of the condominium units in 2004. “It was a mob scene,” adds her husband and fellow architect Karl Wanaselja. “There was a line around the block.” Although the Dwight Way, with its unusual use of unusual materials, may not be the norm when it comes to sustainable building, the visibility of certain green elements made for lasting impressions and quick sales. Wanaselja reports, “The woman who bought the unit in front told us she changed her route to work so she could drive by every day to check up on the progress.” While green building has pull, especially in left-leaning eco-conscious Berkeley, the resounding success of overtly green Dwight Way (and the Toyota Prius, for that matter) suggests that perhaps the first step to turning around public opinion is to turn heads.

The project, which the architects conceived in two phases (a renovation, followed by new construction), began in 2001 when Leger and Wanaselja purchased a run-down building that was originally a corner store with apartments above. “It was this warren of rooms, where every possible space, even the closets, had been turned into bedrooms,” says Leger, touring one of the now sun-lit and airy 820-square-foot condominiums. “We got mail for 23 different residents the month after we bought it,” adds Wanaselja incredulously.

As soon as the building permits arrived, the pair, who also served as the project contractors, first divided the building into four units, keeping as much of the original structure in place as possible. Although the Dwight Way wears its sustainability on its eaves, throughout the renovation every aspect was considered for maximum eco-sensitivity. Windows were punched into the southern elevation, allowing for greater passive heating. The building was insulated with blown cellulose, which consists of shredded newspapers and phone books. Old-growth Douglas fir and redwood were salvaged during demolition and reused as windowsills, walls, floor patches, and custom doors. Embossed wainscoting, laying dormant under a century’s worth of plaster and bad paint jobs, was restored to offer a historical decorative touch. Terrazzo kitchen counters consisting of recycled glass in a concrete matrix were commissioned from Berkeley-based Counter Production. Low-flow dual-flush toilets and energy-saving Scandinavian kitchen appliances were installed to reduce utility demands.

While these features of the Dwight Way read like a green building checklist, Leger and Wanaselja cross into more experimental territory with their use of recycled car parts and street signs. Being the designers, contractors, and developers offered the couple a unique opportunity to explore their unique ideas. “It’s hard to get a client who says, ‘Do me a place with car parts and street signs,’ but we can do it for ourselves and people can respond to it,” Wanaselja explains. In the estimation of Build It Green’s Hollbacher, it’s a positive move that keeps items out of the landfill and saves resources that would otherwise be used on virgin materials.

In a phase-one condominium, the glass rear hatches of Mazda RX-7s are used as protective railings along the stairs. Wanaselja, obviously no stranger to the salvage yard, goes into further detail. “I look for ones that still have some hardware so it makes it possible to attach to a building—the glass is tempered, so if you try and drill a hole it will break.” “But it meets code!” Leger adds with a laugh. In the bathroom, a closer look reveals that what seem to be ordinary glass shelves are in fact windows from Volkswagen Karmann Ghias. “Those are hard to find,” Wanaselja points out. Furthering the automotive dis-course, Porsche 924 hatches are used as awnings above many of the exterior entrances, and a gate to the parking lot is crafted from hovering Volvo station wagon doors.

Other salvaged materials come in the form of street signs, bought by the pound at the local dump. On the building’s south elevation these are reversed and brushed, creating aluminum scales that reflect brightly in the afternoon sun. Elsewhere the signs are bent into outdoor lights, stair railings, and eaves and fabricated into fences (in one case, reversed one-way signs create a peculiar homage to the picket fence).

The original lot purchased as part of phase one was large enough to accommodate another structure, so construction began on the ground-up phase two in 2003. For Leger and Wanaselja, building green doesn’t just mean using the right materials, it extends into living with smaller, more manageable spaces—a democratizing of resources. Sitting parallel to the renovated corner building, with a narrow garden and pathway between, phase two borrows from and evolves the design vocabulary developed during phase one.

It’s not unexpected, then, that the architects’ ecological approach extends to every aspect of the building. The concrete slabs employed 50 percent fly ash, a waste product of coal burning. The natural plaster walls were left unpainted  and removed the need for caulk and trim. A system of dry wells was dug to keep graywater runoff onsite. Car parts and street signs make appearances throughout—as railings, shelves, awnings, siding, lighting, and fences.

As developers, and green developers at that, the couple took a risk with the Dwight Way. “We were cantilevered way out there,” Wanaselja jokes as only architects can. “The number crunching was scary.” The response, however, has been overwhelmingly positive—a new renovation and infill project is already in the works. “It’s a way of expressing our values,” intones Leger, “and an outlet for our creative channels.”

For anyone who knows Berkeley, a place long associated with vociferous manifestations of counterculture, the Dwight Way, with its overtly green approach, seems a perfect architectural summation of the city’s values. Like so much in this island of blue (the political blue, that is) it’s hard not to wonder how the Dwight Way would be regarded were it built elsewhere: as a mere roadside curiosity, or as impetus for greater, more positive change in the way the public perceives housing? Leger and Wanaselja are positive it’s the latter. We’ll reserve judg-ment until Detroit unveils its first fuel-cell pickup truck.

Conflict Kitchen

Conflict Kitchen Rises Again

If you're ever in Pittsburgh, you must swing by Conflict Kitchen for lunch it is an artist-run take-out window in Pittsburgh, selling street food solely from countries the United States is in conflict with, in three-month rotations. Artist and professor Jon Rubin, who founded the project last year, recently wrote me to say they'd shuttered the Kitchen's first iteration—Kudideh Kitchen, selling Iranian sandwiches—and reopened as Bolani Pazi, an Afghan take-out restaurant that serves a savory homemade afghan turnover filled with either pumpkin, spinach, lentils, or potatoes and leeks.

conflict kitchen bolani crowd
Dwell asked Rubin to tell them a bit about Conflict Kitchen's latest incarnation. "We chose Afghanistan for our current iteration as it neighbors Iran and is obviously the site of direct military engagement with elements within the country," he wrote in an email.
conflictkitchenbolanihandover.jp
Bolani is an Afghan turnover filled with either pumpkin, spinach, lentils, or potatoes and leeks. It's packaged in a custom-designed wrapper that includes interviews with Afghans both in Afghanistan and the United States on subjects ranging from Afghan food and culture to the current geopolitical turmoil.
"Also we felt that our customer base had an introduction to the culture and sociopolitcal dynamics of Iran and we wanted to be able to contrast this information by looking at one of their direct neighbors. Obviously there are many historical and contemporary links between the countries, but the stories of daily life and the nature of the U.S. involvement are very different in each country."

conflictkitchenposter.j
The price is right.

"The response has been great, very similar to the Iranian version. Local Afghans here in the city have been very supportive and we are collaborating with several of them when we bring in school groups. We recently had a live Skype event with 10 Afghan filmmakers. We each prepared Bolani, theirs fried, ours grilled, and watched and discussed some of the documentry films that they had produced about daily life in the Kabul an the provinces."

conflictkitchenbolanitalk.jp
Part of the goal of the take-out window is to get people talking about political and social issues.
What's next for Conflict Kitchen? "We plan on focusing on North Korea next, then most likely Venezuela."

Colorado Treehouse

Crystal Treehouse: A Rustic Loft Perched Above an Icy Colorado River

We typically think of treehouses as tree-friendly structures, so the fact that many of them are constructed out of wood that was obtained by bulldozing entire forests doesn’t make much sense. That’s why we’re especially fond of the Crystal Treehouse, which artist David Rasmussen built using blown-down logs and local materials. Located in Carbondale, Colorado, the rustic perch has a snuggly loft with a big picture window that overlooks the icy waters of the Crystal River below.


crystal treehouse, crystal tree house, David Rasmussen, rasmussen treehouse, treehouses, tree houses, treehouse, tree house, green design, eco design, sustainable design, eco architecture, green architecture, sustainable architecture, colorado treehouse The framing materials of house are all made up of either reclaimed or blown-down timbers, which we think makes a lot more sense than going to your local big-box construction store to purchase plywood, when you have materials right in the area that are free for the taking. And while much of the timber used was already felled, we should make it clear that a few trees were sawn for the treehouse, but they were all local specimens. Since the trees on the property (cottonwoods) were not strong enough to build on, Rasmussen built log columns to be the main supports. The pine foundation system was chosen for its minimal impact to root systems of the surrounding trees.
The inside of the treehouse is surprisingly roomy with something that is very unusual in the arboreal home world – high ceilings! So high, in fact, that the house has its own loft which can be accessed by a very cool spiral ladder. We also love the many windows – some circular, some square and some oval – that fill the loft with light. Rasmussen also used his skills as a furniture designer to deck out the room with a desk, stools, and custom light fixtures. And when he told us that this place has a stove too, we wondered why anyone would ever leave!

PeopleTowels

If 1 in 4 of Us Switched to Reusable PeopleTowels We Could Save Enough Trees to Cover Alaska

peopletowels, people towels, organic people towels, eliminate paper towel waste, green design, reusable hand towels
We’ve all seen it: the public restroom trash can overflowing with crumpled paper towels, guaranteed to give any eco-minded person a headache. But PeopleTowels has created a solution to our wasteful ways. The company designed a reusable personal hand towel made from 100 percent organic, fair trade cotton. If one in four American adults switched from paper towels to PeopleTowels for one year, they would eliminate CO2 emissions equivalent to 815,000 cars and save enough trees to cover the state of Alaska.
peopletowels, people towels, organic people towels, eliminate paper towel waste, green design, reusable hand towels
Designed by Mary Wallace, PeopleTowels are created from a special cotton blend that is durable, lightweight, absorbent and fast-drying. Wallace found her inspiration for PeopleTowels in Japan, where most public restrooms don’t have paper towels, so on-the-go personal hand towels are the norm. She decided to improve upon the eco-friendly practice by creating an eco-friendly towel. The cotton is purchased from the Chetna Project, a collective of fair trade organic farms in India, and the towels are produced according to the Global Organic Textile Standards, which ensure that the process meets the highest social, environmental, and quality standards.
The towels are only 9 x 9 inches, making them ideal for carrying in your purse or pocket, and they are printed with earth friendly dyes in an abundance of designs that appeal to all tastes and styles. Each towel has a hang tag on the back, so you can clip it to your backpack or belt loop for easy access. Because they are machine washable, just one PeopleTowel can replace your paper towels for years.
PeopleTowels are available for purchase in stores across the United States, as well as on the company’s website, where you can mix and match designs to create your perfect set. Have a design in mind for your own towel?

Solar Panels for a First Home

Green Home Guide Question:

I am starting the planning for my first home, and I know that I want to install solar panels. What should I know before starting?

Asked by Holly
White Bluff, TN 

I live in middle Tennessee, and the land that I own is a farm of 104 acres. We are also looking into geothermal heating and maybe even adding a greenhouse attached to the kitchen. Is this reasonable for a residential home?

Answer

Polly Osborne, AIA, LEED AP Los Angeles, CA
Polly Osborne Architects
February 22, 2011
First of all, let me congratulate you on taking on these considerations early.

Passive heating and cooling

So many people start thinking about energy savings after they have started building, and the best way to save energy is to situate your home to take advantage of the natural warmth of the sun and cooling of the breeze.
Ideally, we can completely passively heat and cool our houses and reduce the electrical load using the principles of passive design through heat transfer, superinsulation, ventilation and moisture control, daylighting, and energy efficient lighting and appliances.
  • Each site and climate must be studied carefully to address the specific characteristics of heating degree days, cooling days, humidity, and exposure to sun and breeze and the hindrances your particular site may have in the way of trees, mountains and other obstructions.
  • By planning your house paying attention to these principles, you can reduce the need for whatever heating and electrical package you decide on, save on your bills, and help the environment in the process.

Good design vs. bells and whistles

Because these are design issues, they require experts in their area, so you are spending money upfront on professionals instead of spending money on the latest bells and whistles.
Of course, you may spend money on those too, but even if you don’t, you may end up with a much better performing house than if you only spent money on the bells and whistles.
Here’s the thing: solar panels may help you generate electricity, but it does no good if your load is a lot greater than the panels can handle.
  • Buying an excess of solar panels to meet your excessive load may make any energy savings unlikely when the cost of the panels are considered.
  • Likewise, the very best heating system won’t save you much if your house is poorly oriented and insulated.

Changing light bulbs is mundane

I have a client who bought solar panels for his house and complained to the manufacturer about not getting much lower energy bills. When I suggested he change all his light bulbs to LED and fluorescent, suddenly he was raving about his solar panels.
Here’s why: solar panels cost him so much they were much more important to rave about, because the light bulb changing was soooo mundane!
I’m not knocking solar panels here; I have them and think they make a big difference, but only if you do the design that supports the elements you install.

Steps to a net zero house

That being said, here are some things to help you get started on your way to an excellent net-zero house:

Finally, work with experienced professionals

Finally, to answer your question, solar panels and geothermal are both completely appropriate in residential homes and are in fact done all the time.
The question of whether they are common in your area is another thing.
  • You want to do things where you have a pool of experienced green professionals to choose from to do your work.
  • Learning on the job isn’t always good for the homeowner.
Good luck and have fun!

Butterfly Sanctuary

Bik Van der Pol Unveils Butterfly Sanctuary
Inspired by Mies van der Rohe


Butterfly conservatory, MACRO Museum, Bik Van der Pol, Enel Contemporanea, Farnsworth House, Liesbeth Bik, Jos Van der Pol, environmental change
Submitted for the latest design competition produced by Enel Contemporanea for the MACRO museum in Rome, winners Bik Van der Pol created an architectural marvel named after an MC Escher quote, “Are you really sure that a floor can’t also be a ceiling?” The spectacular structure is both a homage to the original Farnsworth House designed by Mies van der Rohe in 1951, but in this version of the architecture great, you can find a new home for hundreds of butterflies.

Butterfly conservatory, MACRO Museum, Bik Van der Pol, Enel Contemporanea, Farnsworth House, Liesbeth Bik, Jos Van der Pol, environmental change
In the 50′s the Farnsworth House was considered the epitome of modern domesticity, connecting man to nature with its floor to ceiling glass walls. But the intention the Bik Van der Pol – which is a Dutch collective of Liesbeth Bik and Jos Van der Pol – was to call attention to environmental change with their design. The mini-Farnsworth, which instead of being filled with Mid- Century Modern furniture, is a lush butterfly habitat and green house – much like butterfly conservatories which have been popping up in science museums. Visitors are welcome to enter the biosphere, which inaugurates the new wing of the MACRO museum.
“Are you really sure that a floor can’t also be a ceiling?” brings nature into the context of a museum, putting it in the same realm as works of art. Butterflies are known to be extremely sensitive to environmental change, and their decline is thought of as an early indicator of environmental degradation. Aside from this new fine art context, Bik Van der Pol illustrates the literal with this piece, by requiring man to enter a sanctuary of the living environmental oracle.
