The project, which would replace a one-story commercial building at 488 San Vicente Boulevard, calls for the construction of a seven-story edifice featuring 54 apartments above approximately 5,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space. Plans call for five units of very low-income housing with in the development, as well as amenities such as a fitness center and an underground parking garage for residents and commercial tenants.
I met designer Bob Patino and found that interior design appealed to me. I grew up in Cuba, and my family had been in construction, so I was around architects my whole childhood. As a kid I would sit and draw and design rooms.
Text description provided by the architects. Located in the colonial neighborhood of Mixcoac, in Mexico City, next to the courtyard of the former convent of Santo Domingo built in the sixteenth century, we designed a housing building, with 28 apartments on 4 levels (7 on each level) and a basement parking level.
The San Vicente Marina Facility design was all about finding that balance between high-quality construction and low environmental impact. A lighter footprint means a longer-lasting planet, which is a win for the builder, client, and environment. The SDCWA, City of San Diego, and Pulice committed to a goal of using green building methods and materials on the project. Through effective planning, the project team implemented these various green materials and green building processes that will result in long-term efficiency and durability for the SVMF, and long-term cost savings to the SDCWA. Minor listing of green materials and processes included:
Comprised of industry specialists from the global sector, our work spans across the GO Network and Union Station Rail Corridor (USRC) and includes all central aspects of the railroad brownfield project; from strategic design to utility relocation; from new railroad to bridge construction; and from environmental and local permits to testing and commissioning.
With over 23 years in the construction industry, Mr. Alberola is an accomplished civil engineer with experience in heavy civil construction and delivery of public private partnership (P3) projects. Having begun his career as a Quality Technician at the Port of Algeciras in Spain, Vicente has honed his project and construction management expertise and climbed the ranks to fulfill roles including Project Manager, Deputy Project Director, Technical Manager, and recently as Project Director on the California High Speed Rail project. Vicente has been involved in high-profile P3 projects in Canada and the world over, refining his in-depth understanding of design and construction standards, sharpening his experience with numerous conventional and specialized construction methodologies, and advancing his knowledge and skills in leading large multi-disciplinary teams and stakeholder engagement.
The sustainability features of the project will include gardens on the ground floor and upper floors, low-water usage and drip irrigation, increased plantings and greenspace, the potential for building-integrated solar, use of recycled materials, high-efficiency heating and cooling systems and energy-efficient design and green spaces throughout. The building will also include electric vehicle charging stations and bicycle parking, in addition to 418 parking spaces with valet service.
Principles of building, heavy and bridge construction; wood and formwork design, stability during construction, economics of equipment selection, movement of material on construction sites, safety, and constructability issues. Students work in teams on a design project. Prerequisites: CIV E 303 and 372. Note: Restricted to fourth-year traditional and fifth-year co-op engineering students, or by consent of the Department.
The main causes of building defects are errors in the design and the construction phases. These causes related to construction are mainly due to the general lack of control of construction work and represent approximately 75% of the anomalies. In particular, one of the main causes of such anomalies, which end in building defects, is the lack of control over the physical variables of the work environment during the execution of tasks. Therefore, the high percentage of defects detected in buildings that have the root cause in the construction phase could be avoidable with a more accurate and efficient control of the process. The present work proposes a novel integration model based on information and communications technologies for the automation of both construction work and its management at the execution phase, specifically focused on the flat roof construction process. Roofs represent the second area where more defects are claimed. The proposed model is based on a Web system, supported by a service oriented architecture, for the integral management of tasks through the Last Planner System methodology, but incorporating the management of task restrictions from the physical environment variables by designing specific sensing systems. Likewise, all workers are integrated into the management process by Internet-of-Things solutions that guide them throughout the execution process in a non-intrusive and transparent way.
A Stone House originally built by Fraser Forman Peters, a local architect who specialized in designing stone houses throughout Fairfield County in the 1930's & 1940's. The commanding front of the existing home overlooks Long Island Sound. VBA designed extensive renovations and additions to take advantage of the views and modernize the home's dated layout and program. Much care went into the material selection and construction detailing, creating a seamless integration between old and new.
The site of the existing house, located in a tidal marsh, is not allowed by today's building regulations. Working with a basic 1950's constructed box; the footprint or envelope could be altered minimally in order to keep the home's unique position. The design treats the house as a shell into which the new elements are inserted. Service spaces, such as the kitchen and powder room are housed in a sculptural edifice. The stairway captures views of the open living space but serves also as a focal point with its switchbacks and landings. Outdoor decks and porches are perched over the tidal marsh, touching the ground lightly, or not at all.
Design District Streetscape construction began in May 2022 on Melrose Avenue at N. San Vicente Boulevard and moves east towards N. Croft Avenue (just east of N. La Cienega Boulevard where the City of West Hollywood meets the City of Los Angeles). The project includes rebuilding the entire sidewalk and roadway. Sidewalks will be significantly widened in most areas and decorative concrete will be installed. There will also be new roadway paving and striping, signal modifications, landscaping, LED streetlights, EV Charging stations, in-roadway warning lights, transit shelters, and a gathering space with artwork.
