Throughout this process we recreated the Moscow, ID alley way that spans behind Champions bar to the State Farm Insurance Firm. We went about it by massing the existing conditions, then slowly added detail including windows, electricity boxes, fire escapes, and entourage. The following pictures show a progression of our work (Josh Wallace, Michael Clark, Maddi Dietrich, Jordan Campbell, and Kiana Fannin--TA Victor).

After we had begun our massing, when we had begun to add key details of the alleyway, but before we added windows to Champions. |

After we added windows to champions-- as well as entourage for the people living it up inside the bar. |

When we began to add our constellations to the space-- we decided that we wanted to connect them all with a boardwalk inspired by New York's own High Line Park. |

In this photo the beginning of our structure shows. Inspired by Josh's original constellation structure of a tree we decided to make the structure of our combined spaces abstracted tree branches. |

In this photo you can begin to see the relationship between the buildings along the other side of the alley way. You can also begin to see the hierarchy of our programming-- The highest space is the most important social space ("The Nest"). |

In this photo you can see the final product for our envelope as well as our boardwalk. The envelope is inspired by a nest and the combination of light and privacy that it offers. With the boardwalk it allows light to break through as if the people underneath are walking under a tree's canopy of leaves. The boardwalk also serves purpose to connect the spaces and add natural life in the center of a highly industrial and cold space. |

This is a perspective of the beginning of the boardwalk from the Friendship Square staircase. Seating is along the beginning of this in order to make space for coffee shop customers. |
