WILLAMSON COUNTY, TEXAS

CITY OF HUTTO

Jake’s Bridge in Hutto, TexasMixed Use Neighbourhood ProjectJune, 2009 - PresentArea: 105 acres

Hutto was recognized as one of the fastest growing cities in Tex-as. The SmartCode that was adopted by the city is specifically designed to accommodate this inflow of new people by organiz-ing them into safe, walkable communities instead of the apart-ment complexes. The SmartCode is designed to traditional single family home neighborhoods or large combat urban sprawl, and preserve as much of the landscape as possible. For this reason, parks and playgrounds are required features, as well as tree lined streets and strict landscaping standards that are friendly to pedestrians and cyclists.

the SmartCode provides an effective tool for Hutto to add traditional neighborhoods to the lifestyle choices that it has to offer. Instead of the single product residential subdivisions built next to large blocks of apart-ment buildings and a retail strip center, the form-based Traditional Neigh-borhood Development builds a variety of single and multifamily residential products, neighborhood office and retail space, schools, churches, parks and playgrounds within a five to ten minute walk of each other.

Shiloh at Jake’s Bridge will have various levels of density. The center of the development will be most dense, with up to 20 residences per acre—versus about four per acre in a neighborhood of single-family homes.Residences will be mixed with businesses, and the perimeter will be more rural with land designated for parks. Plans call for residences to be within a quarter-mile of community features, including busi-nesses, schools, civic centers and parks. Strict zon-ing helps ensure property use conforms to the over-all vision.

Sulaimani University Campus - IraqPresidencyConstruction Area: 33,174 sq.ft

Presidency is one of the most important buildings in the campus. This is mainly due to its symbolic nature, being the administrative center of the university.

The importance of the building is further stressed by its unique lo-cation. These critical location of the hill has lead to a decision that the building should not be too tall in order not to overwhelm the total sihouette created by college buildings and not to stand too disproportione with respect to the Kirkuk Road.

It is thus decided that the height of the building should not exceed 5 or 6 floors.In the general layout, the space requirements is cat-egorized functionally into four main zones.

A- Presidency OfficesB- OfficesC- Registration Affairs AreaD- University Club and the Media Center

The design is based on the integration of these functional zones as articulation of blocks in the form af arc segments. All the blocks are related to each other with a circular space which also function as a common area, enrichening the spatial quality of the connection between the blocks.


Sulaimani University Campus - IraqStadium Building Area: 14,156 sq.ft

This facility is a 3,000 seat football stadium. The stadium building will comprise a press level with press rooms, designed for radio and TV broadcasting, plus a VIP suite; a club level with tea room, and a locker & training level. Concession booths and restrooms, designed to suit the capacity of the stadium, shall be provided. The overall design objective for this project is to develop an ath-letic facility, and public campus spaces, which will provide an en-vironment for students and faculty to enjoy and interact, in order to enhance their experience on the Campus. The stadium shall promote a superior athletic experience and promote University spirit. The development of a football team, playing at home and on campus will be central to creating a more traditional college campus.Landscaping and exterior lighting shall be incorporated into the design for function, aesthetics, security and safety. Lighting and security shall be furnished to safely connect the proposed build-ing with the plaza areas and parking areas of the site.
