The apartment house site will be replaced by a single family dwelling. Our project both documents this phenomenon and bridges the shift in urban scale.

This is a longstanding community of homeowners who to insure the environmental safety and economic well-being of their neighborhood for years to come. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/533b08dae4b0ced77e488ab3/1408050152502-5FVG8B5C0FD6PX0H3CIX/Board+108.jpg SHEEPSHEAD BAY Because the homes are under-performing, fragile, and therefore difficult to raise, there are incentives for collectively lifting them and replacing them with a net-zero prefabricated alternative. (for more on the houses see 'Bungalows for Sheepshead' under 'Architecture') https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/533b08dae4b0ced77e488ab3/1407869945214-JKJKVMPDK1WT876CPNZ2/Board+102.jpg SHEEPSHEAD BAY A collective raised boardwalk provides ADA access to the homes that would be impossible to implement within each small property. It also provides new social space with a monumental deck and shared solar array. Raising the houses in synchrony to the Design Flood Elevation also allows the redesign of the existing landscape for collective water management infrastructure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/533b08dae4b0ced77e488ab3/1407872618451-6D9WZL7ZY0N8NNZC20MG/Scheme4.jpg SHEEPSHEAD BAY In collaboration with Jason Loiselle / Sherwood Engineering, we developed a plan encompassing all the courts that creates sequences of smaller and larger wetlands in relation to a renewed shoreline. The ultimate master plan would group the bungalows on the higher ground in denser configurations in order to free the ground needed to deal with upland flooding from rain and shore inundation. The by-product would be an increase in community parkland, which is now scarce.

Each type specifically challenged City laws that currently prohibit their implementation. The three typologies are: Local Addition, a bungalow with accessory dwelling units; Re:MX, in which micro-unit apartments share amenities like lounges and work space, and Ravensnest, where adjoining apartments can blend to serve extended families. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/533b08dae4b0ced77e488ab3/1400163723316-I5423WX3ZDGH2478N2QD/figure+6+Remx+section.jpg MAKING ROOM - Re:MX Re:MX refers to the installation of housing on top of existing manufacturing buildings within New York City MX zones that allow these uses to coexist by law. The pre-fabricated micro-units are complete but small apartments. Their space is extended through shared features like the central courtyard, corner lounges, extensive storage along the corridors, and by access to the workshop space below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/533b08dae4b0ced77e488ab3/1400163246483-QB9K5SF8IYSQH5V5F13W/FINAL_courtyard.jpg MAKING ROOM The housing is organized around a courtyard from which it gets light and air, so that the units do not depend on the pre-existing building. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/533b08dae4b0ced77e488ab3/1400163700714-9JXND75QF6Z3XKH5YFJD/figure+5+shared+ravensnest+perspective.jpg MAKING ROOM - Ravensnest This project takes its name from Ravenswood, the public housing across the street from it. It is a seven-story alternative to tower development with apartments designed to meet the emerging needs of mixed-income residents. Every two floors share a large lobby like a living room and large outdoor balconies. Very large and very small apartments can be conjoined in a variety of ways to serve a diversity of living arrangements. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/533b08dae4b0ced77e488ab3/1401906350783-W6MDLRAJ1MZX53AI4WFO/model+shot3.jpg MAKING ROOM - LOCAL ADDITION Each copper volume represents an additional dwelling unit (ADU) bringing the total number of apartments in this house to seven. They could provide income to the homeowner, or accommodations for an extended family. Current law limits such additions to one, even if they obey zoning and egress requirements. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/533b08dae4b0ced77e488ab3/1400162523229-O3TO9RM2ALQU53WSUT46/121129_test01.png MAKING ROOM At the scale of the block, the addition of a mews addresses the increased parking and services required by the added density. The mews also provides garden play space for the block. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/533b08dae4b0ced77e488ab3/1400104498126-RHCILX9M9DCV1Z4428PN/130301_MASTERPLAN.jpg MAKING ROOM When used in proximity to each other, these types bring added benefit to the test case neighborhood of Ravenswood, Astoria Queens, by increasing density within the pre-existing context. The mix of Local Addition bungalows (red), Re: MX micro-units (pink), and Ravensnest extended apartments (yellow) together deal with two-pronged development pressure from inside and outside the neighborhood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/533b08dae4b0ced77e488ab3/1400173312323-AKWYCW1U2C8OL6Q9JQ44/image-asset.jpeg MAKING ROOM - Making Room: A discussion at Japan Society PROJECT TEAM: Deborah Gans with Isobel Herbold of Gans Studio Kevin Hennessey and Sean Gold of Pratt Institute http://www.gans-studio.net/nebula daily 0.75 2014-05-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/533b08dae4b0ced77e488ab3/1400170253374-RPZEQQZMEEZRC5EUAUZJ/nebula+plan-01.jpg NEBULA Designed for Varietal, a restaurant devoted to wine, this chandelier celebrates the drinking of wine.

The work was displayed on the surface; the background information was displayed in the internal block passages lined with gypsum board. Visitors could see the magnificent space of the Mercantile Exchange Building and each other through the screens of studs as they circulated through the urban grid. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/533b08dae4b0ced77e488ab3/1405715875754-L94B5J1WZ4O7JFINV1CP/Bridging+2.jpg EXHIBIT DESIGN - Bridging the Gap with Anthony Webster, Structural Engineer   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/533b08dae4b0ced77e488ab3/1405716026206-NT8CQV3X8MDY749BHT03/Bridging3-1.jpg EXHIBIT DESIGN For this study in the pedestrian connection of the Brooklyn Bridge to Lower Manhattan, we developed a stanchion system of steel L-sections, bolts and guy wires with the feel of the light and small redundant members of the historical bridge. The installation turned the space outside of the auditorium space of the Graduate School of Architecture and Planning , Columbia University into an informal gallery.

This proposal integrates a new ground level bus terminal and subway station with a raised park that extends the systems of greenways from the East River to Sunnyside Yards. Within the bridge structure are outpost art spaces for nearby venues like PS1 with monumental digital displays that match the bridge in their scale. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/533b08dae4b0ced77e488ab3/1400183567893-M14HJYPPHU332UGY3CLE/Axo+Model-Final+v9.jpg QUEENS PLAZA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/533b08dae4b0ced77e488ab3/1400260475545-MYMNL10HNNGMTUZX0ONX/Street+Plan%401-50.jpg QUEENS PLAZA A ground level bus terminal with improved traffic patterns has an accessible connection to the train platform and bike paths off the bridge. A new (fareless) pedestrian connection runs between the Queens Plaza elevated station and the subterranean NR subway on the eastern end. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/533b08dae4b0ced77e488ab3/1400260493337-Y1LO1UP61NH16A9JBHB3/Concourse+Plan%401-50.jpg QUEENS PLAZA The park at platform level has a patchwork of ground covers, an arboretum of trees to mitigate transit air quality, and enclosed green houses. Projection surfaces wrap the boxes of the bridge structure at platform level; and the spaces between them can be used for formal and informal viewing. The site is wired so commuters can plug-in while taking a break in the park, or waiting for the train. Greening continues at sidewalk level as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/533b08dae4b0ced77e488ab3/1400183573805-3C23GRKCM4J08JIZ4EJN/Perspective+Model%232-Final+v.jpg QUEENS PLAZA So many of New York's public spaces are places of transit. We pass through them on our way to somewhere else pausing only to change trains, make a call, or buy a snack. But these are important moments, caesuras from the rush. The architecture of inter-modalism can shape, heighten, and prolong the moment. http://www.gans-studio.net/squatting-on-your-own-land daily 0.75 2014-05-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/533b08dae4b0ced77e488ab3/1400183969862-P6HK8376O4YUF52UVGD5/2-Roll+out+houses.jpg SQUATTING ON YOUR OWN LAND Please see INDUSTRIAL DESIGN: ROLL-OUT HOUSE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/533b08dae4b0ced77e488ab3/1400183969862-P6HK8376O4YUF52UVGD5/2-Roll+out+houses.jpg SQUATTING ON YOUR OWN LAND Please see INDUSTRIAL DESIGN: ROLL-OUT HOUSE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/533b08dae4b0ced77e488ab3/1400183970391-B4KEVYUDI523MT78M6MY/3-The+Good+Camp.jpg SQUATTING ON YOUR OWN LAND https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/533b08dae4b0ced77e488ab3/1400183971867-9H5HXLN9IQXSE79INW2Q/4-+Sioux+LANDS.jpg SQUATTING ON YOUR OWN LAND https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/533b08dae4b0ced77e488ab3/1400183970783-XBZNDVH4V3CB0RS5313E/5-nation%3A+reservation.jpg SQUATTING ON YOUR OWN LAND https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/533b08dae4b0ced77e488ab3/1400183971559-WX2U0AYEKVAZ3JUMPSYO/6-camp-rez.jpg SQUATTING ON YOUR OWN LAND https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/533b08dae4b0ced77e488ab3/1400183972364-TJJWJPF3O8FUMEFWK0NU/7-HOW+TO+SQUAT.jpg SQUATTING ON YOUR OWN LAND https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/533b08dae4b0ced77e488ab3/1400183972551-04WTLA8R5RKPO0LDSCTT/8-HOW+TO+SQUAT+.jpg SQUATTING ON YOUR OWN LAND http://www.gans-studio.net/roll-out daily 0.75 2014-07-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/533b08dae4b0ced77e488ab3/1400184127222-9U8KUG8LK2P2RKJT2U2D/IMG_0572.JPG ROLL-OUT HOUSE - Roll-Out House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/533b08dae4b0ced77e488ab3/1400184127222-9U8KUG8LK2P2RKJT2U2D/IMG_0572.JPG ROLL-OUT HOUSE - Roll-Out House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/533b08dae4b0ced77e488ab3/1405201287158-H9DEZ8HODM90380IGIFQ/2-Roll+out+houses+render+copy+copy.jpg ROLL-OUT HOUSE Featured in the United States Pavilion of the 2008 Venice Biennial, this emergency shelter is part of our continuing project in transitional and relief housing.

The FEMA trailer of New Orleans fame cannot handle the density. For the New York City Office of Emergency Management, we studied the possibilities of using a pre-fabricated module (designed by Garrison Architects) in multi-family configurations in proximity to their neighborhoods in order to restore community and economy as well as housing. Working with our students from Pratt Institute and members from the community we identified sites and developed strategies for Redhook, a neighborhood severely affected by Super Storm Sandy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/533b08dae4b0ced77e488ab3/1400188898590-DIOWLOPO1YOQG064SG2G/11ChinValerieFINAL.jpg INTERIM HOUSING: REDHOOK Super Block by Valerie Chin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/533b08dae4b0ced77e488ab3/1400188907107-LKM9LN0JJXYNMK5IQV3J/04JasperMichelleFINAL.jpg INTERIM HOUSING: REDHOOK Shared Ground by Michelle Jasper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/533b08dae4b0ced77e488ab3/1400188904292-GVYI1LVPW0GVG3YB2IUY/disaster_housing-5.jpg INTERIM HOUSING: REDHOOK The study was executed by Gans studio and Pratt students for New York City OEM as part of the RAMP (reconstruction adaptation mitigation planning) curriculum, a multi-disciplinary effort of Pratt Institute to address the challenges of climate change as part of equitable and inclusive urban planning.

The first renovation inserted a kitchen and bath into what had been had been the library of the 1904 apartment, which had originally occupied half the entire floor. The renovation also restored the original dining room to the right of the library and living room to the left. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/533b08dae4b0ced77e488ab3/1401987081056-6HSAV9R4T560FI44ZK4P/CH-Roy-Kitchen.jpg RIVERSIDE RESIDENCE The bathroom was housed in a steel and glass enclosure, which stood independent of the apartment structure.

Her firm's projects include architecture, industrial design, and community-based urban planning, where she frequently tackles extreme sites and programs. Through writing, design research and inventive public advocacy, Deborah has spearheaded the revitalization of socially responsible architecture for a new generation. Educated at Princeton at a moment of withdrawal from the social realm into post-modern autonomy, Gans has spent her career seeking new forms for architecture’s social participation and engagement. From her masters’ thesis for a workers’ club in a shrinking post-industrial town to her current involvement in coastal resiliency, she has had tremendous impact on the contemporary community-based design movement. Much of Gans’ design work focuses on the challenges of housing, especially in relation to the underserved, where she has used her design speculation as a platform for policy change and the revitalization of communities. Her public presentations range from local community visioning sessions to speeches on the international stage including Rome, Ulm, and Oxford.

Her firm's projects include architecture, industrial design, and community-based urban planning, where she frequently tackles extreme sites and programs. Through writing, design research and inventive public advocacy, Deborah has spearheaded the revitalization of socially responsible architecture for a new generation. Educated at Princeton at a moment of withdrawal from the social realm into post-modern autonomy, Gans has spent her career seeking new forms for architecture’s social participation and engagement. From her masters’ thesis for a workers’ club in a shrinking post-industrial town to her current involvement in coastal resiliency, she has had tremendous impact on the contemporary community-based design movement. Much of Gans’ design work focuses on the challenges of housing, especially in relation to the underserved, where she has used her design speculation as a platform for policy change and the revitalization of communities. Her public presentations range from local community visioning sessions to speeches on the international stage including Rome, Ulm, and Oxford.

The New Cottages will be a mix of six 1-bedroom units and two 3-bedroom units, targeting families and young professionals with an annual income of $65,000 or less. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/533b08dae4b0ced77e488ab3/1492025204684-47EH7OEKXQR6RC8OFG8Q/RearYardRender.jpg SAG HARBOR https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/533b08dae4b0ced77e488ab3/1492029535696-R0NE2O2SQSS018MT82DO/roof+plan_small.png SAG HARBOR   The units, along with careful site planning and passive and active technology, will achieve near-passive operations and meet criteria for energy-efficiency grants. Their modular construction will be reproducible on similar sites.

He asked us to design the brand- both its architecture and graphics - to bring some of the experiential flavor of this roadside to New York. He planned to open a series of Taco Madre’s throughout the region in affordable commercial strips, including shopping centers and malls, in order to establish a new level of quality in fast food. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/533b08dae4b0ced77e488ab3/1532543366787-RVHPY49K8R97XW09ST1Z/Taco+Madre+bag+wall-photo.jpg TACO MADRE We capitalized on the affinity of the Mexican stand with the American commercial vernacular, which share the same modest materials of concrete masonry units, corrugated metal, open web steel joists and standard lumber. In celebration of Mexican culture, we added its vibrant color and moments of intense handicraft to this “Home Depot” aesthetic. The Taco Madre shown here was in a shopping center in Yonkers. Skyrocketing commercial rents saw the closing of the last Taco Madre in Brooklyn Heights by 2010, but its legacy of small eateries serving freshly prepared regional food – now even street side in trucks - carries on. http://www.gans-studio.net/grant-avenue daily 0.75 2018-10-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/533b08dae4b0ced77e488ab3/1540997820443-X8VSR1IGAJLUPLF41W45/27+FrontRender+copy.jpg GRANT AVENUE - GRANT AVENUE COMMONS Working with the real estate development group, ALMAT, we designed a 190-unit-affordable housing mixed-use complex on the same block as the Grant Avenue Subway stop in Cypress Hill, Brooklyn.
