Book case study :

Topic – Concrete House The pierre

Location – San Juan island , United States

Area – 2500 sqm

Project Year – 2010

Architect – Olson Kunding

Design Firm – Olson Kunding Architects

Seattle firm Olson Kundig Architects used dynamite, chippers and saws to bore
through the huge boulders of a rocky outcrop on a North American island to make
room for this raw concrete house . Named after the French word for stone, the
Pierre is a single-storey residence designed to cut into the protruding bedrock of
the client's existing property, located on one of the San Juan Islands off the coast
of Seattle .
"Putting the house in the rock follows a tradition of building on the least
productive part of a site, leaving the best parts free for cultivation,"

The house is slotted between two sections of rock. Its walls are made from
exposed concrete, with a smooth surface that opposes the rough stone, while the
roof is covered with grassy plants to allow the building to merge into the
landscape. Traces of the stone continue through the house's interior, where a
cave-like bathroom tunnels through one of the boulders and features a mirror
that hangs down from a hole in the ceiling.

A large living and dining room spans the length of the building and features
a fireplace hearth comprising a carved rock with a levelled surface. The master
bedroom sits off to one side and includes a sink with a basin made from another
huge lump of stone, where polished sections allow water to cascade down three
separate pools.
 All rooms of the house are furnished with a selection of antique pieces,
artwork and custom-designed lighting fixtures. Leftover rock from the site
excavation was turned into crushed aggregate for use during the construction.
THE PIERRE
The owner's affection for a stone outcropping on her property inspired the
design of this house. Conceived as a retreat nestled into the rock, the Pierre (the
French word for stone) celebrates the materiality of the site. From certain angles,
the house - with its rough materials, encompassing stone, green roof, and
surrounding foliage - almost disappears into nature.
To set the house deep into the site, portions of the rock outcropping were
excavated through a combination of machine work and handwork. The contractor
used large drills to set the outline of the building, then used dynamite, hydraulic
chippers, and wire saws and other hand tools, working with finer and finer
implements as construction progressed. Excavated rock was reused as crushed
aggregate in the on all the stonework, a reminder of the building process, while
huge pieces of rock were employed for the carport structure.

Set at a right angle to the main space, a master suite features a custom-
designed bed with a leather headboard and footboard set in the middle of floor-to
ceiling bookshelves.

Floor plan
Throughout the house, the rock protrudes into the space, contrasting with the
luxurious textures of the furnishings. Interior and exterior fireplace hearths are
carved out of existing stone; levelled on top, they are otherwise left raw. In the
master bathroom, water cascades through three polished pools, natural sinks in the
existing stone. Off the main space, a powder room is carved out of the rock; a
mirror set within a skytube reflects natural light into the space
Cross section
The materiality of the built structure - mild steel, smooth concrete, and drywall -
create a neutral backdrop for the interior furnishings and artwork and the exterior
views to the bay and surrounding landscape. Contemporary works of art by
Cameron Martin, Jesse Paul Miller, Andres Serrano, Franz West, and Claude
Zervas are mounted inside and outside the house. Antique furniture and art objects
are complemented by custom pieces. The custom light fixtures are based on the
designs of Irene McGowan, a Seattle artist and lighting designer best known for
her work with noted Northwest architect Roland Terry.

From this case study we learnd about the excavation process and the use of
excavated materials in interior of the house and the bringing in about the natural
feel in the house

Set in a rough, yet spectacular landscape, with a neighboring 250-foot drop

to the Pacific Ocean, Fall House by Fougeron Architecture is a one-of-a-kind
vacation retreat: “The long, thin volume of the house conforms to the natural
contours of the land and the geometries of the bluff, deforming its shape and
structure in response. In this way, the complex structural system applies natural
forms to accommodate the siting.
The main bearing system of the house is set back twelve feet from the bluff,
both to protect the cliff’s delicate ecosystem and to ensure the structure’s integrity
and safety. One of the facades was left transparent, in order to reveal ocean and
coastline views, while the opposite was clad in copper.
The building is composed of two rectangular volumes connected by a glass
“buffer zone”, which hosts the library. The most dramatic interior of the house is
probably the cantilevered master bedroom, offering breathtaking ocean views from
its floor-to-ceiling windows.

Merits

This building is a cost effective building.. Its unique feature is that some of
the objects are actually built with rocks obtained from the site, and covered with
decorative materials

DEMERITS

In Fall house , The Structure consists of two main facades ,the north one and the
south .The southern Facade is claded with Copper . And the opposite one is Full of
transparent with Glasses to enjoy the waves and the sea views.
Here we see ..the copper metal Is Used In the walls and roofs. First and
foremost, copper is an excellent conductor of heat. This means
thatcopper's high thermal conductivity allowsheat to pass through it
quickly.Instead Using copper, there can be used materials which shows resistance
to heat and maintain the moderate temperature inside the Living area.

The main body of the house is composed of two rectangular boxes

connected by an all-glass library/den.The main entry is located at the top of the
upper volume with the living spaces unfolding from the most public to the most
private. The living room kitchen and dining room are an open plan with subtle
changes in levels and roof planes to differentiate the various functions.

The lower volume, a double-cantilevered master bedroom suite, acts as a

promontory above the ocean, offering breath-taking views from its floor-to-
ceiling windows. The link between these two volumes is the glass library/den; it is
the hearth of the house, a room that unites the house inside and out both with its
geometry and its transparency.

A one-story concrete wing perpendicular to the house includes a ground-

floor bedroom, building services and a green roof; it is the boulder locking the
house to the land.
 The house has two main facades, the south one is clad in copper which
wraps up the wall and over on the roof. Copper clad roof overhangs protect
windows and the front door from the sun and the wind of the ocean.The façade
to the north is made all glass; clear expanses of glass open the house to the view.

RESEARCH STUDY
From the case studies we have decided to go with a cantilever structure at
the sea facing side we will be using locally available materials as a part of our
construction we will try to blend with the nature so that visitros will have a full
satisfaction .We have mostly planned for a natural ventilation such as sunlight
and air . The glasses we use are unbreakable glasses of thickness 16mm

REPORT ON 3D PRINTING
WHAT IS 3D PRINTING ?
The term "3D printing" covers a variety of processes in which material is joined
or solidified under computer control to create a three-dimensional object, with
material being added together (such as liquid molecules or powder grains being
fused together), typically layer by layer.
- 3D printing techniques were considered suitable only for the production of
functional or aesthetical prototypes and a more appropriate term was rapid
prototyping

The term ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING can be used synonymously with "3D

printing . One of the key advantages of 3D printing is the ability to produce very
complex shapes or geometries, and a prerequisite for producing any 3D printed
part is a digital 3D model or a CAD file.

The most-commonly used 3D-printing process is a material extrusion technique

called fused deposition modeling.

The 3D-printing process builds a three-dimensional object from a

computer-aided design (CAD) model, usually by successively adding
material layer by layer (unlike the conventional machining
processwhere material is removed from a stock item

Alternative terms are also in use, such as Autonomous Robotic Construction

System (ARCS) Large scale Additive Manufacturing (LSAM), or Freeform
construction (FC), also to refer to sub-groups, such as '3D Concrete', used to
refer to concrete extrusion technologies.

Potential advantages of these technologies include faster

construction, lower labor costs, increased complexity and/or
accuracy, greater integration of function and less waste produced.

A call to save the world” conference, WASP presents Gaia, a case study
of 3D printed house using the new Crane WASP technology with natural
materials from the surrounding area

THE FIRST 3D PRINTED HOUSE WITH EARTH

Gaia, whose name is due to the use of raw soil as the main binder of
the constituent mixture, can be considered a new eco-sustainable
architectural model with particular attention to the use of natural
waste materials, coming from the rice production chain and
oriented to the construction of particularly efficient masonry from
a bioclimatic and healthy point of view.

MATERIALS

Rice House supplied the vegetable fibers through which WASP

has developed a compound composed of 25% of soil taken from the site
(30% clay, 40% silt and 30% sand), 40% from straw chopped rice, 25%
rice husk and 10% hydraulic lime. The mixture has been mixed through the
use of a wet pan mill,.

WOOD for the roof coverings insulated with lime

INTERNALLY it has been finished with clay lamina
