The project incorporates an outdoor park space utilizing a permeable paving system. In addition, a vegetated roof, and a kalwall glazing system over the atrium are used to minimize environmental impact.

The primary ambitions of this design are to maximize energy savings through daylighting, choice of energy conscious local materials, and passive cooling and ventilation strategies. The interior is open to nature, with spaces defined by translucent panels and light wells. The organization of floor plates and ceiling elements along with the differentiation of materials promotes collaboration between the four fields of design housed in the building, while also establishing a connection between the outdoors for the well-being of the occupants. Spaces are lit naturally from above by several light wells and a glass atrium. The atrium incorporates insulated kalwall panels to transmit light without the loss of traditional glazing. In addition to defining interesting spaces, the light wells function as a natural exhaust for the building’s cooling system. In the overall use of the site, the design and fluidity of the public park and seating area is beneficial to the community design and connectivity, as the site currently exists as a crossroads between Knoxville attractions. The on-site water collection is displayed openly in the park as an educational tool for visitors. In the end, the design process was a balance between two priorities, the energy conscious impact of the building to its surroundings, and the needs of the building program.

REGIONAL / COMMUNITY DESIGN & CONNECTIVITYThe site is located at the geological center of downtown Knoxville. Although this area has subtle distinction, it characteristically holds many opportunities for community interaction due to its close proximity to pre-existing attractions such as Market Square, Gay Street, the Knox Public Library, and Worlds Fair Park. In addition, the area is part of a historical district and the site is surrounded by historically significant buildings. As a result the design is conscious of maintaining appropriate scale, color palette, and dialogue with the surroundings. The project also contributes to the efforts of public interaction by creating park and seating areas for visitors, and a potential outdoor market area.

LAND USE & SITE ECOLOGYThe project minimizes the building footprint by elevating the office space, allowing a large percentage of the site to be used for landscape and public space. Permeable brick pavers are used as the primary site surface to both filter and minimize runoff.

BIOCLIMATIC DESIGNThe project was designed according to bioclimatic concerns of solar orientation, prevailing breezes, and shadows from adjacent buildings. the building is oriented to maximized northern and southern exposure, and to screen or block harsh east and west light conditions.

LIGHT & AIRAs a key part to a healthy environment for the building occupants, light is organized to complete connections between indoors and outdoors. The landscape conceptually enters the entire ground floor of the building through consistent materials and glass barriers. Floors above are connected to the outdoors through a cantilevered lab area looking into the park below, as well as a roof deck accessed on the second floor. All north and south windows in the building are operable, and the building is designed to be cooled passively through cross breezes and stack ventilation through the atrium and light wells.

WATER CYCLESignificant portions of the building roof are vegetated, capturing and filtering rain water for collection into on site cisterns. The cisterns are a supplemental source of water for building facilities and offset energy costs.

ENERGY FLOWS & ENERGY FUTUREThe building incorporates a geothermal system allowing the building to be cooled through the stable temperature of the earth, minimizing energy expenditures. In the case of power loss, the building could still function appropriately through daylighting and ventilation strategies established in the design of the operable windows and vented light wells.

MATERIALS & CONSTRUCTIONThe building primarily uses copper, concrete, steel, and reclaimed brick in its design, all of which come from local manufacturers to reduce the impact of energy expenditures

LONG LIFE, LOOSE FITThe design is intended to be versatile beyond the lifetime of the initial client. Floor plans have a very open nature so that rooms can easily be reconfigured and any typical office tenants could potentially occupy the space. Looking towards the future of the site, as downtown Knoxville progresses toward better design for public convenience and social interaction, the ground floor and landscape of the project will retain usefulness as a social green space for Knoxville inhabitants and visitors.

PULLED APART

connections across the atrium are reinforced by the design of the ceiling, lighting, and mechanical system

RE-PURPOSED STRUCTURE

a structural column takes on additional tasks, becoming light and air by splittng up the steel in a large column into 4 slammer columns that surround a lightwell.

MECHANICAL CIRCULATION

to allow open collaboration, walls are eliminated and spaces are defined overhead

circulation paths : exposed ceilings with pendant lighting

work spaces : individually controlled chilled beams with lED and task lighting

LIGHT

the floor plate is divided into two sections separated by an atrium to allow the spaces to be lit naturally, both from the sides, and above

PASSIVE COOLING

operable windows on the exterior and vents in the lightwells and top of atrium work together to provide optional passive cooling by utilizing the natural convection of hot air through stack ventilation.

the vents within the light wells are mechanized to reduce heat loss in winter and prevent unwanted smoke travel in case of fire.

SOLAR HEAT GAIN

windows feature a louver system which is positioned to block direct summer light yet reflect indirect light into the buildingwinter light is low enough to pass under the louver
