ISLANDWOOD GRADUATE STUDENT LODGE |
|
The graduate students at Islandwood lead the teaching of the groups of visiting elementary students. Islandwood needed to add living space for six additional graduate students. This included a double kitchen, dining space, social space, and study room as well as six private bedrooms and three baths. The solution had to efficiently use space and materials to meet the modest budget. The final floor area of _______ sf provides for the common areas, and gives each resident a _x_ private room. As with all Islandwood projects, the choice of materials needed to respect the principals on which Islandwood is founded. The main floor is concrete slab floor, on grade, with radiant heat. No central heating is supplied to the second floor, but each room has a small space heater to provide as needed for that room. The building modules in both plan and section were designed to use framing materials in an efficient manner. The roof is framed of premanufactured trusses which use materials very efficiently. The interior paneling is oriented strand board (manufactured without formaldehyde) – an inexpensive material that uses small dimension logs, and scrap material. The carpeting on the second floor is self adhesive carpet tiles, which are made up of 98% recycled plastics. The bathroom floors are finished with Marmoleum Dual Linoleum Tiles. And the cabinets were made by a local shop of Alder, a common Pacific Northwest tree, formerly recycled as scrap. |
