Watcheer Flower Farm is located at 63 Magnolia Street, Providence, Rhode Island. This project was undertaken in the fall of 2023 as part of the Integrated Building Systems class (ARCH-2178). The client aims to transform their current structure into a three-story building, repurposing it as an agricultural farm for academic use. The building's layout is designed to include a loading dock adjacent to the side street, classrooms, STEM processing studios, conference rooms, a lecture hall, faculty offices, as well as a café, patio, and staff room for the board.
We have planned the entire structure with a Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) system, complemented by wood veneer and shingle facade. The building incorporates solar panels on the roof and the south glass facade to enhance energy efficiency.
