live/work!

stephanie

hello archinect!

i am soliciting your advice/reccommendations for completed live/work units. for some reason google isn't charming this morning, and my cranial catalogue is lacking precedents in this building type.

any help would be great!
thanks in advance....

there is actually a really nice live/work single family house done by a WilkinsonBlender right down the street from me in chicago. Its just been completed so im not completely sure if there are images available.
But they have renderings and a description of the project on their website under the "in progress" section. Its nice... very open, great renovation with a lot of green perks including a green roof and helical turbines on the roof. Its also been written up a few times... i found a few articles just by googling itWilkinson Blender

also right around the corner from me is a larger live/work development called urban sandbox... i cant find the architect, or if there is one... its done by ranquist development i guess... maybe they just do their own junk. Its all the same cookie cutter modern, but its definitely the lesser of many evils as far as housing developments go.

I like that, I like the options this building structure offer -- 3dh would deliver the exact interiours making a box structure into anything, but it could also intirely, present the same forms, everything can be made from an assembly framework anyway , that only mean that what you emagined can be made much thinner. I like the idea of a bigger structural framework and then accomodated this allowing for a shell of framework and structures, for floors and walls , rooms stairs everything, in 3dh , ---- what's good about that, is that 3dh ask a computer, you can't project with a structural 3dh framework without a computer . What else can justify scratching a few old way's , to do it much better cheaper and by all means digital , maybe that is what justify you can build light and heavy structures any size , also it is not bad, if new materials was invented it's a much better entry, than continue with outdated projecting just that method are easy , so are 3dh but that's clever.
