Little Ajax Affordable Housing
Little Ajax
Affordable Housing was developed,
designed and constructed for the City of Aspen by Peter Gluck and Partners and
ARCS Construction Services in response to the overwhelming need for affordable housing. Located close to the city's main core, the design
negotiates a steep, difficult site and transforms it into a dense, dynamic
family complex complete with 14-three bedroom units, 25 covered parking spaces,
an open space parcel and a network of public trail easements.
A skewed geometry allows the building
to conform to the streetscape in front and the natural contours and vegetation
of the slope above while creating communally oriented family units, onsite
parking and public trail connections. Three angled 'slots' slice through the
courtyard block breaking it down into an interconnected series of house-scaled
elements. The 'slots' provide internal
circulation spines and a physical and visual connection to the mountains.
A
series of 2nd floor walkways are punctuated by playful bridges and
lookouts and provide multiple connections to the units, public trails and city
sidewalks. Multiple circulation routes augment fire safety and provide privacy
by insuring that most units are accessed without having to pass by neighboring
apartments. An in-house developed
storefront system combines high performance glass with colorful insulated
panels. This system wraps all of the
living spaces, providing floor-to-ceiling glass, multiple views and exposures
from each apartment.
Using
multiple strategies including a compact design, an efficient centralized
mechanical system, and a super-insulated building complemented by the use of
green building products like bamboo floors, low VOC paints, recycled content
carpets, and laminates that did not require finishing resulted in a building
that far exceeded Aspen's strict sustainability code.
