Demolish/Replace 129 Military Family Housing Units
This award-winning replacement housing for military families, a $78 million-dollar project, consists of a contemporary community at two neighborhoods. The scope of work included demolishing 132 units and designing and building 129 new JNCO/CGO replacement units in tri-plex and four-plex building configurations. The project included a complete site development in both neighborhoods, including the utilidor and utiliduct distribution systems for water, sewer, steam, condensate, and glycol. Utilidor systems also include the shut-down, abatement, demolition and replacement of utility services within an existing utilidor main along Polaris Street.
The community setting is designed to provide its residents with a sense of home, security, and price. Despite the fact that we were creating a large community with similar housing plans repeated multiple times, we integrated design elements into the housing that can instill a sense of individual ownership at each home. This included building housing configurations of no more than four units with articulated facades, which stagger individual units and clearly articulate individual entries and garages. In addition, each housing unit is provided with an individual color scheme to define the unit as a separate home, further accentuating the unique quality of this community.
Amenities in the homes include solid surface countertops, laminate wood flooring, six-panel painted molded interior doors, modern washers and driers, extra storage space, two-car garages and an arctic entry, which is a space between the front door and the living space where residents can come in out of the cold and take off their shoes and coats.
The vehicle and pedestrian circulation system is not only efficient but interesting to the residents and their guests. Recognizing that the Galaxy Heights and Ravens Wood neighborhoods will make up a community that will largely be occupied by families with young children, safety has been engineered into the design by providing walking and biking trails that limit the need to cross major streets or intersections. Recreational opportunities have also been considered in the design with the provision of interconnecting sidewalks and trails to playgrounds and play fields.
Mechanical and Electrical utility rooms are attached to each unit and are integrated into the architecture of the buildings. At the end of each 4-plex is a mechanical room that serves as the service point for that building. The overall result is less impact to the properties, a smaller footprint, and easier maintenance – with added efficiency.
The homes will be certified in accordance with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold requirements. LEED is a goal-oriented approach for building design and construction aimed at meeting green standards and best practices. The homes will have a 5-star energy efficiency rating and will be heated by an under-slab glycol radiant heating system that has been found to work very efficiently in extremely cold regions.
