Empty Nester Home Renovation

Located in Coronado, California, and recently renovated by Brittney Nielsen of Brittney Nielsen Interior Design, this home was designed as a second home for a couple with 3 sons. They were soon-to-be empty nesters and have since sold the family home and moved into this house. The home was a track home built in the 1970’s that hadn’t been updated. It is in a wonderful location on the canal in the Coronado Cays and the clients are avid boat and water sports enthusiasts.

The client wanted to modernize the floor plan and add natural light to the space, so the team took the house down to the studs, added approximately 450 square feet and reimagined the entire layout. The exterior elevation had a Spanish feel but the client wanted a clean lined modern feel inside. See more details shared by the interior designer of this inspiring empty nester renovation.

Proyecto Fin de Carrera/ Thesis Project San Diego: Homeless Paradise, part I.

1. INTRODUCTION

San Diego (California, USA) became my second home when in the third year of my career I went to study for a year and a half there. Being the idyllic city that it is, I was struck by the large number of people who lived on the street. Many shouted and talked to themselves, but many said good morning with a smile on their faces. "How it ends in that situation" is a question with thousands of answers. "How it is solved" does not have one whose effectiveness has been demonstrated.

It is impossible to pretend to remove the homeless * from their situation. But you can try to reconcile these people with their sense of humanity. The interventions of the project seek to return part of the intrinsic dignity to our person, as well as the illusion.

Is it possible that the opportunities of life are linked in part to the promise of a better situation?

Can we lighten its load (physically and metaphorically)?

* In this project will appear intermixed terms in English, according to their geographical situation.

2. RESEARCH

Analysis of the problem:

Let's talk about San Diego, the so called AMERICA'S FINEST CITY for all its citizens, as well as official slogan.

San Diego is a city of high quality of life, open-mindedness, surfing, and a mixture of cultures.

With its 300 days of sunshine a year comes a more direct than indirect consequence: the massive arrival of people living on the street. They are the homeless of San Diego. This project looks for grosso modo that this famous slogan of America's finest city is applicable to all its citizens, including those who live on the street. They generally reject housing as an institutional entity, so it is not a matter of building a temporary shelter. The city your home. Why not try to make it more homely?

The city of San Diego has the fourth largest population of homeless in the US, the second largest of veterans of war.

Each year the number is analyzed, after a recount by "San Diego Regional Task Force on the Homeless". 9236, 8879, 8520 ... But where are the most common places for the homeless to spend the night? The San Diego Union-Tribune requested the data, by census area, and mapped them. Although they extend throughout San Diego County, there is a clear densification in the Downtown San Diego area. This is where the project takes shape. Today approximately 860 people live in the streets of the city center: 72% Men, 60% White, 15% with mental illness, 65% have been in prison, 15% veterans of war.

In the last year $ 18 229 194 from the Department of Housing and Urban Renewal were allocated to programs to help homeless people.

Even so, today there is no urban strategy whose objective is to help the homeless. In the 1980s, the city converted the East Village neighborhood into a ghetto, as it consisted exclusively of warehouses undergoing reform. No urban development was envisaged. By then East Village looked like this:

That urban wasteland is nowadays a neighborhood in the process of gentrification. It is also the home of Petco Park, the San Diego Baseball Stadium. This is where today more than 860 people live. Of course, plans for the East Village changed with its development. Constructions of condominiums and businesses arise throughout its radius, forcing people who lived abandoned buildings to live in the streets. The homeless population has increased almost 80 percent in the last year, generating more conflicts between residents and businesses that have moved to this neighborhood, and homeless people who also call this place their home.

With this project also comes a deviation of this strategy: push and move is now invalid. Now integrates the homeless in the city, is helped within the limits of their culture and lifestyle, and in turn activates the city.

Pre-existences of San Diego

· San Diego County

To understand what is the best way to deal with this problem, it is necessary to know very well the pre-existing conditions that make San Diego (at the county level) the American paradise in which it has become, and those directly connected with the lives of those without -ceiling.

They should be noted: the San Diego streetcar, which they call Trolley, and which is used almost exclusively by the homeless. Although its use is more visible in Downtown, this tram reaches the Mexican border, and up to 22 km to the east. There is also the important naval culture of San Diego: San Diego has the largest naval fleet in the world, including two super-aircraft carriers of the navy, five amphibious assault ships, several nuclear submarines, destroyers and many smaller ships. One of the two largest recruitment centers of the marine infantry is located here. And at the end of the day, 15% of the homeless are war veterans. Finally, the border with Tijuana, less than 10 minutes from San Diego, is key, since Mexican culture permeates all aspects of life in San Diego. In addition, this border has a very high traffic both human and car. The entrance of Latin population in the USA without means to live has caused that 24% of San Diego's homeless are Hispanic.

· Downtown San Diego

Having understood the most important facets of San Diego as a county, we went on to do an analysis of Downtown, developing a map of control and use spaces that define the day to day of the homeless. The most relevant points are the following:

- The circular trolley defines a perimeter and a semi-free transport method (it is relatively easy to use it without paying and without being caught), and it contains the 3 most pedestrian crossing points of the city, being these 12th & Imperial Station , City College Station and Santa Fe Depot Station. City College is the only point on the map where another type of passenger other than the homeless - students is seen the most. It is a place where transport, commerce and public space converge. 12th & Imperial, adjacent to the "trolley cemetery", is the closest station to the largest East Village settlement, which is on 15th Street. Three trolley lines come together here, creating a meeting between the ghetto and the most stylish Downtown.

- Every Monday at 7:00 am, police officers and city teams show up in the East Village to move the hundreds of homeless people who live there. At the end of the afternoon, the homeless are back.

- Petco park consists of a parking lot that is empty more than 270 days a year, and which in itself is already a homeless settlement. On the other hand, in San Diego Downtown there are more than 48 Parkings (not counting subways), both public and private. The public are all paid and are full more than 12h a day. They are cause and effect of the massive use of the automobile in California, and one more example of the progressive disuse of the Trolley.

- The famous "Comic-Con" geek convention is held every year at the San Diego Convention Center. This is the only time of the year when during three consecutive weekends the city overflows with pedestrians, especially in the southwest of the city.

- Children's Park is a plot consisting of a wide fountain, as well as a small pine grove. Although this park was created to generate life in the boulevard of Harbor Drive, it never came to fulfill its function and, like so many public spaces in San Diego, is half-abandoned.

- 5th Avenue becomes an unbreakable barrier that homeless prefer to avoid, either because of the large number of tourists or because of a legal prohibition.

- Horton Plaza Park can be considered the "only" square in San Diego. It is not widely used by the homeless, among other things because of the homeless access laws in Downtown and a series of attacks directed at a homeless group a year ago.

- Salvation Army is the # 1 Non Profit Organization in the USA. His presence in San Diego is accentuated by the alarming amount of homeless. One of its largest second-hand sales centers is located on 13th St, two blocks from the main settlement, and next to the trolley line.

- The Quartyard Diego is a plot destined to ephemeral events, entertainment, workshops, meals and others. It has an important social component.

- San Diego Central Library is a site to read and navigate the network. On the ground floor, homeless citizens are usually seen doing their own thing. This can cause some discomfort among some of the visitors. Likewise, in the racket-roundabout located at the entrance of the San Diego Central Library, on the banks of the Trolley tracks, between shrubs and palm trees, some young people without roof are napped every day.

All these spaces are on the edge of the trolley. Families and cultures make their way between their corners. And wherever you look, you come across stories in which people have learned to transform the tools that the city offers for their own comfort.

Analysis of the schedules of the Trolley

The study of the pre-existences of San Diego shows us certain opportunities. The most important is the one by which the proposal of the project may be, in part, an analogy of the life of the homeless, capable of moving around the city, wandering, and living in a legal vacuum. It is sought that the relationship of the homeless with the proposals be of closeness, association, familiarity, as they are anti-institutional spaces. The trolley is the perfect tool to develop the mobile nature of the project.

Given the need to generate a program that is partly itinerant, the temporary occupation of the San Diego tram is proposed. For this, a study is made of the moments of the day when the track sections are empty, and for how many minutes. The result is a mapping of the actual schedules and the calculation of their gaps in space and time.

3. MANIFESTO

Invisibility

The component of invisibility of the proposal is an abstract concept. The citizens of San Diego obviate the existence of homeless. Although they are there, they choose not to see them.

By avoiding its existence, no measures are taken to solve the current problem of the population's push outside of its original neighborhood (East Village). And this conflict will only grow, as the areas to which the homeless can move are disappearing.

How to throw someone out of a room that is closed?

Richard Florida spoke in his book "The Rise of the Creative Class" about how the cities of the future will comply with the three T's: Technology, Talent and Tolerance. This project aims to instill the concept of a tolerant city and inclusive urbanism as the first step in a new direction.

The conceptual invisibility of this project helps to generate interventions that the citizens of San Diego do not reject (because they would not see them). Some of the ways to achieve conceptual invisibility are to take out of level 0 (hanging or burying), use existing shells, keep moving, and a long etcetera.

From the hand of invisibility comes into play the idea of alegal vs. illegal. The gray areas of the law protect the projected mechanisms.

"No-Places"

"If a place can be defined as a place of identity, relational and historical, a space that can not be defined either as an identity space or as a relational or historical one, will define a non-place". If the tram cars acquire the identity that their occupants lend them, the character of the space is transformed, which loses its condition of no place.

Merleau Ponty in his Phenomenology of perception distinguishes the "geometric" space of the "anthropological space" as an "existential" space, the place of an experience of relationship with the world of a being essentially situated "in relation to a medium".

The public spaces, so impersonal, although in this case of very specific users, pass to a threshold between the public and the private. In addition, these interventions are adapted to your location. They are not random, but come from the study and understanding of the place and its context.

Parked tram cars are squatted and transformed. They go from being non-places to being places, as the homeless feel "the irresistible desire to have their own space. A mobile space that will take you away. "

Traveling vs. Settled

We live in a transient, temporary society. Not only the homeless move, but we all spend on average 2h a day in public or private transport. We adapt from one place to another organically. The itinerant character of the homeless of San Diego is reflected in the roads and itineraries that they develop daily, touching certain points of the city and avoiding others.

Despite the constant movement of these people, you can find fixed settlements distributed throughout the city, although especially dense in the East Village.

The study of tram schedules allows the design of an alternative itinerary of "ambulant" trolleys, which move in the hours of empty roads and have alternative functions. Those that are in disuse are reused in the "cemetery of trolleys" of Imperial & 12th, permanently parked for maintenance and dirt issues. They will be ambulatory interventions in themselves, but also fulfilling their transport function. They arrive at points in the city that have been transformed into static interventions: old parking lots, abandoned plots, and even green areas that were then homeless territory are now elements of the daily homeless circuit.

Homeless vs. Houseless

The concept of home is directly linked to the physical relationship we have with the objects that surround us. At home you do not avoid touching the furniture. You do not care (especially) that the clothes are on the floor. In your house do not shower with flip flops ... but in a hostel yes, you do not want to have direct contact with the floor tiles. For the homeless, San Diego is your hostel. A free hostel and permanently in reform. They generally reject housing as an institutional entity, so it is not about building a shelter.

We tend to try to transfer the comfort of home to generic spaces, which we make more homely through the recreation of home environments. When you look around you in a cafe you find a sofa, some flowers ... Could this concept be transferred to an entire city?

We not only recreate the spirit of the home, but users re-appropriate spaces.

Home is where I can carry out my personal routine. A chaotic and specific microcosm of personal objects and dispositions, where we feel free to modify the space that surrounds us.

Do not Generalize: User and Needs

It is impossible to generate a single profile of homeless, as well as to identify each and every one of your needs. It is important to move away from stereotypes as they are a cause of conflict and offense.

Having said that, some needs that we will try to replace are:

PRIVACY: privacy, rest and storage. HYGIENE: showers, equipment, WC and appearance including haircuts and clothes. HEALTH: mental and physical. LIFESTYLE: bicycles, tents, electronic devices, books, etc. FOOD: the provision of food is the most covered aspect at present, by the presence of several soup kitchens and non-perishable delivery programs. SOCIAL: the need to improve their social environment is due to the fact that their levels of interaction are usually two opposites; either they avoid interacting with anyone, or they tend to violent encounters. There is a problem of internal hierarchies that, although it is difficult to tackle directly, you can try to soften with the logistics of the interventions.
