Z-HOUSE

Born between 1996 and 2009, and now aged between 11 and 24, Generation Z ‘s like me are arguably the worst hit by COVID due to loss of incomes in an already unaffordable property market. On top of this, we are competing with baby boomers for smaller dwellings in Australia’s major cities.

Additionally, COVID-19 has caused a dramatic shift in the way we live, work and socialise. How will our future dwellings adapt to this “new normal”? Z-house and the new normal model explores the effect of this crisis on Generation Z, taking precedent from the postwar dwellings of the surrounding context to create an adaptable, sustainable and affordable dwelling solution for the future generations of Australia.

The third spaces in the units can adapt to changing household dynamics. For example, in this share house, one resident gets covid. To minimise risk to others, each of the bedrooms can become an isolated quarantine pod with access to a bathroom and fresh air.

EDITHVALE

As part of Victoria’s Level Crossing Removal Project, the coastal suburb of Edithvale will welcome a new, safer train station for the commuity. in this integrated design studio, we are working alongside Civil Engineers to deliver a wholistic station design that services the community even when they are not catching the train.

Capturing the essence of bustling markets, Edithvale Station creates an activated community hub with spaces of interaction and exchange. The project aims to find a balance between the fixed station structure and dynamic on-site activities. Where civic programs overlap, their stationary elements become flexible and adaptable throughout the day, facilitating transforming access and pedestrian movement.

Key Design Moves

Station Concourse Plan

The concourse and platform plans showcase the “solid vs void” idea expressed through the form of the building - derived from the Beeson Reserve and Edithvale Road axis. On the concourse level, the programs are arranged into 3 clusters - staff, retail + mechanical amenities and public amenities.

Station Platform Plan

On the platform level, there is an enclodes waiting room under the stairs and the concourse above covers half of the 160m long platform, providing weather protection.

Additionally, vending machines provide snacks and drinks for patrons waiting for the train.

The strong diagonal civic gesture is generated from creating a physical and visual connection from Edithvale Rd over to Beeson Reserve to the Beach. This highlights the most unique aspect of Edithvale and conects both sides of the suburb over the rail trench.

Station Street Entry Perspective

This render aims to express its interface with Station Street and Edithvale Road. The new traffic light crossing slows the traffic creating a calmer pedestrian environment. The extensive vegetation revitalises the rail corridor and creates a more positive outlook from neighbouring residences.

Reserve Entry Perspective

The reserve entry aims to be a pedestrian-centred entry, sitting within the existing context. This entry emphasises the axis to Edithvale Beach, creating a new green space for the suburb of Edithvale. The sawtooth roof allows for southern diffused light whilst facilitating north facing pv panels.

Rail Concourse and Roof Detail

The waiting room and PSO office has glazing on two sides to allow for passive surveillance across the concourse entry, ticket gate and Statino Street. Larger paving emphasises the way finding axis towards the ramp and reserve, with the smaller paving transitioning towards the station programs. This shift in ground materiality highlights the change in program and circulation aligned with the roof line. The multi-layered facade has a curtain wall on the interior, weatherproofing the space. Infront of this is the expressed steel structure with diagonal bracing then the mesh is attached onto the structure

The majority of the connections are bolted, minimising the need for onsite welding and allowing prefabricated elements to be quickly assembled. Precast Hollowcore planks are used to minimise the use of concrete, dead loads and construction time and the floor to ceiling steel truss acts as a lightweight structural system.

ENGAWA STUDENT MICRO-HOUSING

Masters, University of Melbourne Studio C, Semester 1, 2020 Individual Project

ENGAWA student micro-housing aims to facilitate community and place making between students and surrounding public to ultimately create a more welcoming environment for students studying in Melbourne. This is achieved through combining the Japanese design ideas of the“engawa” threshold space, micro-house and “machizukuri” (or “place making”) to re-define the current student housing typology in Melbourne and facilitate the students’ ownership of space. To achieve this, ENGAWA explores 3 types of thresholds; public, semi-public and private with transitional spaces between them, in order to facilitate community, as well as the adaptation of the engawa and nagaya urban streetscape into the Australian context.

“SHOUSUGIBAN” CHARRED TIMBER

The first ESD strategy utilised is cross ventilation, with the adaptation of the engawa used to control climate through the exposed terrace operable facade. The operable facade allows the ventilation to flow through the student rooms and to the atrium, where hot air is released through the operable atrium roof. The building also has an extensive 30kw solar panel array to offset electricity usage. A palette of recycled materials to reduce embodied energy inspired by both Japanese and Australian vernacular architecture is is used on the western facade. It uses the idea that each micro home has their own aesthetic personality towards the street, with the materials being articulated in multiple ways to give each public program their own unique facade treatment. The western facade utilises a customised shading design dependant on the typical internal occupancy level of the program.

For example, the library has less vertical shading due to being a lower occupant density compared the cafeteria which has greater human occupancy.

HEX PAVILION

Undergraduate, University of Melbourne Digital Design, Semester 2, 2018 Individual Project

PLAN VIEW

ELEVATION VIEW

The HEX Pavilion project is located on the site of the MPavilion in Queen Victoria Gardens, Melbourne. The design explores parametric modelling (Grasshopper), virtual reality and real time rendering and digital fabrication techniques (laser cutting and 3D printing) to create a iterative design that takes into account visitor circulation, ground conditions and thresholds. The key concept behind this design is the refraction of light and the threshold between interior and exterior spaces. As the materials used (metal and smooth concrete) contrast greatly with the natural landscape, it draws attention to the pavilion.

The large opening at the top of the pavilion allows visitors to see up into the sky and let in natural light. The pavilions’ entrance and exit frame views of the city and park.

Hexagonal metal paneling creates texture on the outside of the pavilion, contrasting with the smooth concrete interior, as well as allowing the view of the pavilion to change throughout the day and night due to the shadows created by the geometry.

Hexagonal paneling includes holes that create a semi-transparent facade, allowing light to enter the inside, blurring the line between interior and exterior space

The land form creates a clear circulation path through the stepped entrances and exits into the pavilion

Height Thresholds

The raised areas outside the pavilion create platforms in which visitors can sit or stand on to enjoy the pavilion and surrounding views and landscape

The seating and ‘stage’ are shown through the raised and sunken land forms, also acting as height thresholds in the interior pavilion space

This skyscraper was a three-person group project detailing the construction and engineering systems of a new skyscraper for Melbourne CBD, located on the corner of Collins and William Streets.
