Tudor for Students 415.777.9422 San Francisco, CA 94108 view full profile Other Elements by this Professional
The design concept stemmed from the desire of the community for the new buildings to harmonize with the existing school buildings and the surrounding houses built in a Bay Area English Tudor style, while employing modern sustainable design techniques such as daylighting, sunshading, and energy efficient systems. One design solution includes trellis-like sunshades on the new classroom building’s west, south, and east-facing windows evoking an English Garden, while controlling heat gain and glare to classrooms. Additional Info: High performance features include Water Conservation: stormwater filtration bioswales integrated in the landscape design, water-conserving efficient irrigation and restroom plumbing fixtures; Energy Efficiency: a radiant-heating system, solar control low-e glazing, ample daylight, views, and occupancy and photocell sensor lighting controls and an integrated energy management system; and Healthy Indoor Air Environments: environmentally preferable recycled-content materials, PVC-free and low-emitting finishes, and balanced acoustics in all classrooms. This project is designed to meet CHPS (Collaborative for High Performance Schools) sustainable design standards.
