The edge of light Residence



Client

Celine dulufon Celine Dulufon is a French Furniture Designer, Alexander’s Spouse currently living in the same residence. Celine’s mostly adores furniture, but when it comes to Architecture the most amazing design is the Louvre. Which led me to, take into a account her love of the Louvre and its aesthetic beauty into consideration before developing the concept.

Alexander gates Alexander Gates is an American accountant, currently living in London. After studying my clients identity, I discovered that Alexander adores Freedom and the ability to do what he wants as the most important aspect in Life. So, I took it as one of the main points in order to generate a concept for the couple’s residence.


Residental Property

Site Map of the Site

The location of the house is situated in Old Street, London. The area accomodates alot of lounges and clubs for people who want to enjoy a night out. However, the residential plot is situated in an area that is quiet and not on a busy street. The Ground Floor of the site is currenly the office of S&Y Architects.


Concept

Louvre

Motion

Transparency

Freedom

The concept that i developed is based on The Louvre in France, adopting Transparency and Shadows from the structure. Similarly, the idea of the use of transparent and opaque materials suggests and creates an atmosphere of freedom. Since the house is located in London and people from all around the world come to live and work in London. A person’s orign is important because its a person’s identity. My clients come from different ends of the world. The concept that I developed is based on my clients origin which is USA and France, adopting a monument such as the Louvre which my client adores. On the other hand, bringing in which resembles the United States which is Freedom. The way I interpreted the Louvre in the concept is by Transparency and Light and Freedom through motion.



Design development

The concept of transparency was further developed. these are attempts of testing how the sunlight goes through the shape and what patterns it creates. The columns were inspired by the solid structure behind the louvre.

A sketch of several transparent/solid walls, gave me the inspiration to create different levels symbolizing privacy against common spaces. Testing shadows and artificial light within different levels by creating patterns on the wall.


Transparency

Testing shadows and artificial light within different levels by creating patterns on the wall and different circulation paths.

The intersecting abstract shapes were used to create shadows within the space. Privacy is obtained by dividing the spaces using levels.


Design development

Motion is the second inspiration implemented to the project because of Freedom. I experimented with things that resemble motion to me. From the sketch I used glass which is transparent and experimented to show speed within the house.

The concept of transparency was further developed and addeed the inspiration of motion. These are attempts of testing how the sunlight goes through thet transparent shape and what patterns it creates. including the idea of motion and edged fludity throighout the house.


Motion

Combining the concept of Freedom and motion into one, connecting the couple in a space that connects to both of their identities. Forms that that are inspired by motion, and material that suggests transparency.


Development sections and visuals leading to the final design proposal.

Development Visual and how to interpret the use of glass and transparency against the translucent. Creating a design that connects to both clients.


Exploring different sections within the context of the residential property.

Testing different materials, cosidering exposing the existing structure and if it responds to the clients needs. Exploring the mood within the residential property with the use of different materials.

Design detailing furniture display unit



Design Development

Creating a series of cubes, focusing on the joints and how it is connected and trying to create the feel of motion in the Display.

Observing different joints, this model I tried connecting the irregular cubes using a U shaped joint.

Connecting to the concept of motion, creating a track under the cubes to see how the cubes can move forward and backwards. Using the track from all the sides as a design element to remove the irregularity.


Placing the Furniture Display Unit within context


Assembly

80 pieces are cut out of a plywood sheet in order to form a cube.

Two Joints connect with each other on the two ends to connect smoothly and firmly.


After connecting the ends with their corresponding pieces, it creates a cube with openings where the light can pass through.

Placing a series of cubes on top of the cube which are then able to slide forward or backwards.


Detailing

Top View

The joint contains a metal track and rubber wheels connecting the two cubes vertically. The joint allows the cubes to move forward and backwards because of the wheels.

Connection

The two corresponding ends fit together to create a smooth shape on the edges. Furthermore, it also provides the firmest joint for maximum stability. PRODUCED BY AN AUTODESK EDUCATIONAL PRODUCT

Pattern

The pattern is inspired by the joint where the two cubes can move forward and backwards. It also provides shadows in the space during sunlight hours which connects to the concept of the house.

Staineless Steel


Final Model

After the design process, the pattern and the joints were drawn on autocad to the maximum detail in order to be lasercut. The process used for assembling the 1:1 display unit was then used to construct this model.



In The Pipeline UNILEVER OFFICES



Client

Unilever Unilever is a multinational consumer goods company co-headquartered in London, England and Rotterdam, Netherlands. Its products include food, beverages, cleaning agents and personal care products. It is the world’s third-largest consumer goods company measured by 2012 revenue, after Procter & Gamble and Nestlé.One of the oldest multinational companies, its products are available in around 190 countries. Uniliever’s Office Aim: A ‘great place to work’, where the best want to be Sustainable living, thinking of the environmental impact in everything theydo The right environment to foster creativity and innovation in Unilever’s brands.


Unilever Headquarters

Site Map

The site is located on Upper Street, London. Upper Street is the main shopping street of the Islington district. The area hosts alot of cafes and shops and situated in Central London. However, the building used to be a tramshed which is currently a clothing store called Jack Wills. Unilever have bought the site and the company would like to set up their headquarters in this site. The building generates a challenge because of its small size, the high amount of steel beams and columns, and the small windows. On the contrary, the site includes three entrances one from Duncan street, another from Gateway arcade, and Upper Street. The building has its historical value and elegance which can be benefical towards a design prespective.


Concept

The concept is based on nature, the process of using nature in our modern world. For example, a natural resource such as water goes through a certain process to reach our tap. However, Unilever does the mutual thing for another natural resource such as tea for example. Plant- Factory- Shop. My design includes recycling rain water,Ventilating Natural Air, and generating Energy through pipes.

Concept sketch of the different levels and different compartments, trying to understand the organic shape of a pipe and how it can be used to supply services such as electricity, water, and ventilation.

Precedents

Centre Pompidou, France Designed by Richard Rogers Being inspired by Richard Rogers in creating something new and reveloutionary such as Centre Pompidou, France. Usually a building hides its services, but with Richard Rogers he wanted to create a building where its services were all exposed which serve as a design element. However, I need to please the client to produce an effective and practical office space where employees are inspired to work everyday. Furthermore, I conducted research in producing sustainable energy and recycling since one of Unilever main aspects is sustainability and thinking of the impact on the environment in everything they do.



Design development

Unilever have taken several steps in order to be enviromentally friendy in their products and the workplace. Initial development from the concept ,I thought of pipes running through the bulding serving as a design element, furthermore it would supply services to the building.

Sketch Representing a green living wall, proposed different levels, and different office departments. Furthermore, transparent pipes that carry rain water in order to be filtered and reused.



Space Planning

Section

Plan

After drawing several sketches of plans and elevations of the route of my pipes. My slabs began shaping towards the route of the pipes. This model is the first attempt of creating a model shaped from the pipes.


Dividing the Levels, and considering the function of each level, either as public or public and how that will affect the circulation and use of the space.

Exploring the circulation path within the building, since I was developing from the concept of the process, the idea of recycling and reused was introduced as a circulation to the building.


Air circulation

Pipes were futher developed to provide services to the building. These pipes are designed to create the Venturi effect. In summary, the Venturi effect is a process in which natual air is trapped and pumped heavily on the other end. The pipes suction natual air and Ventilate the interior without the need for electricity and power. The pipes are situated one on each end of the building and one in the middle. to flood the premises with green and cool natural air in the summer.


Venturi Effect Inspired Pipes suction natural air and creates a breeze in the interior. While thinking of the material and the process of exertion of natual air throughout the interior.


Chillout Zone Inspired by nature specifically lakes, and how natural stones and rocks are within nature. It creates an atomosphere of calmness and tranquility within a very busy workspace.


The cafe Visualization of the cafe and certain details, such as a branch of a tree under the staircase , and the grid in the back is supposed to contain all the colors from the companies of Unilever .


Development Visuals Leading To The FInal Design Proposal

Testing Different Views, and different ways of expressing a visual. In this visual I tried to create a lively, and colorful feel as if the space is alive and in motion.


Testing different materials, cosidering exposing the existing structure and if it responds to the clients needs. Exploring the mood within the office space and trying to create the best mood in the choice of materials to suit the client.

Event design Group project


As the event design team, we had to design and build the final year show in order to showcase the graduates design work and portfolio. Each two partners had to design one booth that resembles the graduate and his or her work. The running theme was timber and thread.


Graduates work

1st PHASE

2nd PHASE

3rd PHASE

4th PHASE

5th PHASE

6th PHASE

Graduate Name: Angela Bardhi Project name: Moving Pavilion Location of Site: Everywhere Client: Design Council Users: Students Program: Student Workshop

At first the workshop moving pavilion started with an idea for a formula were 5 students from 3 different universities in London were chosen to participate in a project. The 15 chosen students would work and reflect alongside each other for three whole days inside the pavilion which would be located near their universities and then at the park for an expanded workshop. The aim is to make students used to the idea of working with others via dialogue and have the ability to understand the potential different outcomes of ideas can have. This meant the pavilion was aimed to travel to 4 different sites but then i broadened its score to more universities and sites. Therefore I created modules and set up online files where you could order the construction components and buy your own pavilion and use it for your own purposes.



Design Development

Suggesting to create a simple cube timber frame with a color that represents the graduate on the floor and ceiling. Also, placing a black board where people can write their comments regarding the graduates project.


Then , as a group we suggested that we would use thread in combination with the Timber L frame as the running theme during the event. This sketch was the initial proposal of introducing thread to the timber frame.


Design Development

For the final design proposal, we created an angle that is a similar to the graduates model in order to to create a comfortable vision. Futhermore, we created a grid that the graduate used to construct her project. The same idea of support was then used support and showcase her models. We also created different joints to the L frame to give enough space for the models to sit.



Layout

Image on the right indicates the entrance to the show As a part of the layout team, we were in charge of planning how the booths will be placed. After several attempts of different layouts, we decided on creating a feel of symmetry, coziness, and small entrances leading to small private spaces of each graduate.





Process

Building the Timber Cube Frame

Introducing the Timber Cube and the grid made out of thread to support the graduates model.

Connecting the other side of the Timber Frame with d for the models.


different joints to create enough space

Testing the stability of the models on the grid to observe if the support if enough and adding Velcro under the model to create enough support for the model.

Finalizing the model, inserting the models, and fixing the board with nail support from behind and making sure it fits perfectly to the frame.

Generating Income

“ A good house is a technical performance where form and function are made one; a house is integral to its site, a grace, not a disgrace, to its environment, suited to elevate the life of its individual inhabitants; a house is therefore integral with nature of the methods and materials used to build.�


The concept is based on the site, bringing in the surroundings of the site. Since the site, was located between Kings Cross and St Pancras. The decision takes was to introduce the railway and to take it as an inspiration and the running concept throughout the student housing. The sketch illustrates consistency and the idea of the train and the dropoffs into different towns or cities. Introducing it as a consistent staircase that runs through an open space with dropoffs into different levels.


Design Development

Being inspired by railways, I thought of different routes resembling tracks leading to certain destinations. Creating the feel of height and grandness as if you are in a major railway station.



Introducing the student housing units inspired by the old train carriages. Trying to understand the student carriages and if some can slide on a railway track, and open to create one big space.



Beginnning to understand, the circulation of the space, intorducing materials, and functions of the spaces. Considering the views from different spaces in contrast with the existing structure. Furhermore, beginning to understand how things fit together and what they will be supported on.


Space Planning, thinking of different spaces and how to maximize the use of space. Furthermore, considering if the student carriages can slide on a railway track to form one big space for students that want a bigger space or to increase collaboration between students. However, space is an expensive aspect of living in London so utilizing space and using space for different spaces can prove to be quite effective.
