ABSTRACT the Main Feature of a Conventional Terraced Housing Development Is Rows of Rectangular Shaped Houses with the Narrow Fa
MAKING A RETURN ON INVESTMENT IN PASSIVE ARCHITECTURE TERRACED HOUSES DEVELOPMENT Wan Rahmah Mohd Zaki Universiti Teknologi Malaysia(UiTM) Malaysia E-mail: [email protected] Abdul Hadi Nawawi Universiti Teknologi MalaysiaQJiTM) Malaysia E-mail: [email protected] Sabarinah Sh Ahmad Universiti Teknologi MalaysiaQJiTM) Malaysia E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The main feature of a conventional terraced housing development is rows of rectangular shaped houses with the narrow facade as the frontage. Consequently, this limits natural cross ventilation and daylight penetration into the middle of the houses; and cause for unnecessary energy consumption on mechanical cooling and artijicial lighting to make the living spaces comfortable for occupants. Such inconsideration is mainly attributed to the optimum configuration of houses which offers the most economic return desired by the developer. Passive Architecture (PA) design strategies can make terraced houses more conducive for occupants as well as gives reasonable returns to the developer. The idea is demonstrated on a hypothetical double storeys terraced scheme in a 2.5 acre site whereby it is transformed intofour types of PA terraced houses development. The Return on Invesfment of the PA terraced houses is ascertained for two situations, ie., (i) fwed sales price for all types of house; and (ii) added premium to PA terraced houses due to the positive unintended effects such as low density housing, etc. If critical criteria for demand and supply in housing remain constant, it is found that PA terraced housing development offers competitive returns to the developer relative to the returns for conventional terraced housing scheme. Keyworh: Orientation, Indoor Comfort and Operational Energy 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Housing and Energy The recent public awareness on sustainability calls for housing to not only serves as a basic shelter but also to be energy efficient, i.e., designed to make occupants need low operational energy. -
Proposed Terrace and Yard Plantings Ad-Hoc Committee
SASY Neighborhood Council Proposed Terrace and Yard Plantings Ad-Hoc Committee Purpose The purpose of this ad hoc committee is to research and analyze ordinances and practices related to terrace and yard plantings; report to the SASY Council as indicated; and work with SASY, city staff, and the SASY alderperson to update ordinances to better reflect SASY neighborhood and wider community values and expectations. Background A survey of 91 properties in the heart of the SASY neighborhood showed that the majority (69%) of terraces and front yards in the neighborhood are in violation of restrictive city of Madison ordinances which broadly prohibit many plantings in terraces and private front yards. For example, prohibited are anything but grass within two feet of the curb; plantings over two feet tall in terraces; plantings and fences over three feet high within a ten-foot triangle next to driveways in each front yard; any overhang of vegetation, including grass, over the sidewalk; erection of any permanent structure on terraces, including vegetable boxes; grass over eight inches tall, including ornamental grasses; bushes and trees on terraces that are not planted by the city; plantings in a triangle ten feet along a driveway and ten feet along the sidewalk in the private front yard of each house/apartment or building; and other requirements. The city inspects and cites property owners for violations of terrace and yard planting ordinances upon submission of a complaint. The only exception is for plantings and structures for the sole purpose of erosion control. The “violations” in the SASY neighborhood almost without exception appear to enhance rather than detract from the appearance of the property and neighborhood. -

Zen Bow Article: the Bodhisattvic Garden
Zen Bow Article: The Bodhisattvic Garden (After the zendo, the Zen Center's back garden is an ideal place for contemplation. It remains a still point in the middle of an inner-city neighborhood, and when I need to begin a letter, or to make some notes on the changing seasons, I find myself drawn to its domain.) Today, having nothing to write down, I leave my notebook open on one of the tables. As the pages flutter in a light breeze, the white paper with its thin blue lines absorbs the chattering of nearby sparrows, the scuttling of a squirrel as it spirals down a tree trunk, the flickering of someone walking briskly behind a fence. High up in the late afternoon sky, the vapor-trail of a plane, reflecting the earth, becomes more elongated and curved as it stretches towards the horizon. The following evening, the neighbor's calico cat presses her nose against the screen door and stares across the kitchen foyer into the twilight of the zendo. Like a person admiring a painting by Vermeer, she studies the receding aisle of shadowy figures who are sitting in perfect stillness on their brown cushions. Then a bell is struck to end the round of meditation, and she disappears down the back steps, her own bell tinkling faintly as she runs across the lawn. * * * The leaves are whispering to each other in a light and steady rain. Summer is now well-established, and the covering of myrtle under the locust tree is a deep shade of green. Beyond the myrtle, a dogwood is in full bloom, its white, four-leafed flowers resembling clusters of child-like stars. -
1440 Hawthorne Terrace Berkeley, CA
ATTACHMENT 4 LPC 02-07-19 Page 1 of 48 1440 Hawthorne Terrace Berkeley, CA January 30,2019 Land Use Planning Received Fatema Crane January 30, 2019 Secretary Landmarks Preservation Commission City of Berkeley 1947 Center Street, 2nd Flr. Berkeley, CA94704 Dear Ms. Crane: V/ith this letter, I wish to respond to the materials submitted by the owners of 1450 Hawthorne Terrace (the Speny Mclaughlin House & Garden) and supplement the landmark application materials that I previously submitted supporting the designation of the Speny-Mclaughlin and Marsh Houses & Gardens as landmarks pursuant to Berkeley Ordinance 4694 N.S. Among other things, I have attached a letter prepared by architectural landscape historian Janet Gracyk, who authored the HALS designation for the 'White House, describing the merits of the landscape that we are seeking to preserve on both Hawthorne Terrace properties. Exhibit A. First, I am gratified that the present o\ilners of 1450 Hawthorne Terrance apparently concede that the Speny-Mclaughlin House and Garden designed by Henry H. Gutterson and landscape architect Mabel Symmes are worthy of preservation and meet the requirements for designation as a landmark pursuant to Berkeley Ordinance 4694 N.S. According to the December 14,2018 memorandum prepared by Stacy Kozakavichl of Page & Turnbull, which the owners submitted to the Landmarks Preservation Commission ("LPC"), Page & Turnbull does not "question the overall conclusion [of the landmark application] that that the subject property is worthy of local landmark status." We could not agree more! The conclusion that this property is worthy of landmark protection is consistent with the conclusion reached by the various experts whom I consulted including Ms, Gracyk, Richard Brandi of Richard Brandi Historic Preservation Consulting, Chris Pattillo for the local chapter of FASLA, and UC Berkeley College of Environmental Design Professors Elizabeth Macdonald and Joe McBride. -

Purposeful Gardens That Reflect the Passions of Their Owners
Gardens WellPurposeful Planned gardens that refl ect the passions of their owners. 120 Bloom | June/July 2018 | magbloom.com By Moya Andrews Photography by James Kellar ll gardens are unique, of course, and reflect the individual passions of the people who conceptualize and create them. Behind every spectacular gar- den there is a defining purpose and a resolve to create a particular type of garden. Presented here are three gardens that successfully realize their owners’ ambitions. When Sue Speichert fell in love with a historic home, she and partner Mick Harman took on the challenge of re-creating and expanding the equally historic and romantic garden surround- ing it. Ed Paynter and Sandra Miles are environmentalists who wanted not only an ecologically friendly house, but also an exuberant, sustainable garden to produce food for both body and soul. For Diane Dormant, this, her third gar- den in Bloomington, is the culmination of a lifetime studying the elements of garden design. To access the front door, visitors walk through lush plantings on a path to the stairs on the side of the porch. To the right, the plantings slope down the steep hill and, just past the dark green of the magnolia tree, a distant bit of Hartstrait Road is visible. On the near right of the path there are focal points such the big leaves of a variegated Hosta contrasting with Amsonia ‘hubrectii’ with yellow splashes on its thread-like leaves. magbloom.com | June/July 2018 | Bloom 121 1 A Historic Garden for a Historic House According to legend, Sue Speichert and overgrown pine trees in front of the house Harman converted from its previous use Mick Harman’s house was the Ellettsville, were cut down to allow for better views as a slat house (an open-sided structure Indiana, stop on the stagecoach route that and more light. -
