Alley ways within Wellington exist as forgotten, barren spaces that have immense potential for revitalisation.

The notion of an alley way is commonly attributed to criminal activity, or simply nothing at all, thus greatly detering most if not all potential inhabitance.

Continued neglect will only continue to prompt negative activity within these spaces, and massive opportunity is thus lost to create a beautiful network of hospitable lane-ways within Wellington that could have the potential to grow into an even greater context. The biggest challenge that will need to be solved is the fact that the surrounding buildings are commonly 3 stories or more, thus sunlight has minimal accessibility to these regions. A carefully thoughout process will need to be undertaken to ensure that the spaces that house the proposed architecture are not the same environment, but have the addition of dwellings. The surrounding context will need to be re-evaluated to ensure a hospitable atmosphere prior to the incorporation of said architecture. Penetrations and faceting are a couple examples of how to edit the surrounding buildings in order to create the required transparency within these dead spaces. The challenge here will be judging where and how to do so without severely damaging the existing building’s integrity.

To identify these lane-way sites that prompt in-between, platform and airspace potential for cost effective, sustaibable, adaptable and attractive architectural interventions that can accomodate people whom are attracted to the concept of an urbanised living environment. Several lane-ways within Wellington already have developments planned, such as Leed, Eva and Egmont Street. Hence a sense of relevence becomes evident as this scheme would aim to enhance an already developed concept. In term this would be aimed towards the Wellington City Council, as they are primarily responsible for these existing development proposals.

If found successful for creating positive urbanised interaction and reducing the negativity that is attributed to these spaces, a larger scope could be applied for these architectural dwellings and could be applied to similar conditions throughout Wellington. Furthermore, this would be aiding towards solving Wellington’s current housing predicament as common rent prices exceed $200/week, thus detering people from residing within the CBD. Given Wellington’s vast wastage of forgotten alley way space, these infill’s could provide an entirely new layer to defining urbanised living. In 30 years, these revitalised lane ways could be more hospitable than the common house.

“This project is a proposal for a small architecture office in Copenhagen.

It torques towards the southern sky, preventing excessive solar heat gain by blocking the high summer sun while allowing in the low winter rays in order to warm the building during the cold, dark months. Furthermore, it responds to the typologies of the Danish neighborhood, respecting the role of the interior courtyard and the Danish sentiment for urban street life, creating a dialogue between front and back, night and day, winter and summer.

The interior of the building is a flexible space that maximizes exposure to the light that filters in from the front and rear facades, permitting much of the narrow lot to be lit naturally. In addition, the open half-levels relate visually to one another while also allowing for the possibility of installing temporary, movable partitions.

The lowest level of the building houses the video display gallery.�

The success of this project and thus its relation to my pursuits is evident through it’s immendiate reaction to the physical context of it’s neighbouring buildings. John has aligned the rhythmic floor heights with the constraints of the geometries he has designed. This creates a strong contextual relationship with the classical style of the neighbouring buildings with this modernised infill scheme.

And most importantly is the solar analysis study, which has heavily influenced the project’s design parameters. This being something that will be a major design driver for my proposal, as being positioned witihin the darkened depths of alley ways, utilising all if any solar gain is imperative.

Alfred House backs onto an open area by opening the doors to the back, thus allowing light and air to pour in.

The design has an internal garden, a kitchen laundry, living dining room, bathroom, mezzanine office and storeroom garage. The floor level of the rear addition is sunken to a depth of 600 millimetres from the height of the laneway, which means a generous internal height and uncompromised internal volume while reducing the height of the building externally.

It was designed with a tight and constrained budget. From the doors in the kitchen coming together without the use of a central column, the deceptive mirror splash back, and the employment of perforated steel to filter light to the way the back glass window opens up completely without a fixed panel, the house is an effortless looking design statement.

North-facing glass and perforated metal awnings enable passive solar gain in a house where sustainability is key. This is furthered with active management of shade and passive ventilation.

The success of this project is its attention to detail in regards to it’s interior architecture. All of the spaces are confined within a small property and have been compiled perfectly. Upon entry is the dining and lounge space which prompts social interaction with the outside laneway. The kitchen which is concealed from the outside by off setting it from the lounge/dining space to provide privacy. An mezzanine next to the lounge space acts as an office space which also grants sufficient privacy whilst still allowing for interaction with the level below. And most importantly is the green space in the back section.

This is the most enticing aspect of the design and is definitely something to incorporate into my proposal.

“This game explores the relationship between architecture and gaming.

It allows players to create neighbourhoods that need to take account of environmental, as well as social and economic, factors in order to flourish.

The simulator involves creating city districts from a range of predefined “blocks”. Block’hood gives gamers a range of 96 interdependent blocks from which to construct their cities.

These include architectural elements such as apartments and shops, natural features including trees and bushes, and power sources such as wind turbines and photovoltaic panels.

Blocks require inputs to survive. A tree might need water, but an apartment will need electricity, water and public space.

They also produce specific outputs.

By balancing the inputs and outputs of blocks in the game, a player understands the complex interdependence among city units.”

= GAMING DESIGN PLATFORMS

The main positive impact this method will inflict is attributed to social, political and cultural bounds. This is due to its accessibility to all ages and intellects, and because it’s titled ‘a game’ people immediately become more enticed by the concept. In summary, people like gaming and don’t like working. The accessible nature of games like this will make this technology extremely relevant for future aspiring architects. Traditional design tools such as Revit, ArchiCad, Rhino, Grasshoper, 3ds Max can all be very tedious programmes to learn. The reason why these programmes are so heavily used during education and practice is due to cultural and social teachings; we come into this design realm ignorant, thus we learn what the older generations tell us to. If creators of design platforms such as Block’Hood could develop their games to compete with the technicality of the uprising of Revit, for example, we could be witnessing a whole new era of architecture within the next century.

Volumetric construction is one of the methods I intend to utilise for assembling my proposed architecture.

The primary issue that comes with this method is that there is minimal flexibility for spatial design. The kitchen, lounge, bedroom and bathroom will essentially all be delivered to site in cubic form, of which will allow the spaces to easily be assembled. However each dwelling will consist of very similar aesthetic qualities, and I want each typology to possess their own identity. Other issues include: transport and sometimes manufacturing restrictions, can limit module size thus affecting room sizes; they may lose their value quickly; some financial institutions may be hesitant to offer a loan for a modular home; and transporting the completed modular building sections take up a lot of space.

Panelisation is another method I intend to utilise along side volumetric construction, and it will serve as the primary construction method. The reason for this is because volumetric construction is more beneficial for spaces which don’t possess much leniency in the way of design flexibility, i.e. bathrooms. Other spaces such as the dwellings will attribute much more effectively with panelisation. I will have much more design flexibility to create an aesthetically pleasing scheme. There are several issues with panelisation that I will need to be aware of: there’s a high risk of damage occuring during transport and unloading; delivery and shipping costs can be very high; custom / intricate plans not easily converted; and it can be difficult to achieve airtightness for these highly detailed plans.

Sun orientation is the most difficult to address of the physical intangible challenges. Because the alley ways on my site have buildings ascending to 3+ stories, obtaining solar gain is a serious issue that will need to be addressed ASAP. My intuitive respond would be to penetrate and facet existing buildings to allow solar gain to the shaded spaces below. A more technical approach is to utilise solar panels and tubes. This would enable artifical solar gain for my proposed interventions without damaging the existing buildings.

Another factor to consider is the orientation and positioning of spaces, as this will determine how much natural solar gain the buildings can acquire.

The ‘hip’ vibe that Wellington’s CBD oozes is a massive contributer to people’s reactions to it’s environments.

And this cultural identity is definitely an intangible element I will be embracing to it’s fullest extent. As established in my inital diagram: (people + food) x (music + art) = good times. This vibe will only be enhanced through what developments are already underway for these lane ways as well as the architecture I intend to propose. It is my hope that these developments will eventually create a network throughout Wellington’s alley ways, thus potentially making the laneway the most vibrant and hospitable environment to be in, opposed to the current most popular being the street front bar etc.

A flag shape site is surrounded by buildings and only connected to the road by a narrow strip of land. Aiming not to separate the house and the atelier portion, we reached the composition with lower 2 floors for the atelier and upper 2 floors for the house connected with a staircase, the landing of which can be a split-level house itself after studying the conditions. The areas of the stair landings vary from 3 to 10 sqm, and the styles of the stairs also vary to give each space a different degree of privacy.

To fit the exterior wall inclined by regulations, the interior columns of the 1st and the 3rd floor also incline, and affect the behavior of the people inside. They also dug a well and use the water for radiant cooling and heating. The well water pumped up to the roof streams down on surface of the external wall, cooling the wall by vaporization in the summer. The external wall is covered with granulefaced asphalt to hold the water.

Egmont Street

This building has been positioned within the context of a platform space at the top of Egmont Street. This is quite an open space so the utilisation of natural light is imperitive. This building is sufficiently illuminated so provide a comfortable internal atmosphere. it appears as though the interal white steel framework could be layered by panelisation, thus making this project a viable precedent for how I might achieve this. The spatial qualities of this project greatly resembles the standards I will need to meet to cater for a lane way environment. Despite being a rather compact building form, the internal spaces appear expansive. This will be an important feature to achieve, thus I will need to ensure there is no dead space and each area is effectively utilised. Because each floor is very open, social interaction becomes a vibrant aspect of the internal atmosphere.

People would be able to veer off the laneway and have a wide perspective of most of the internal public regions.

This small residential project is located within a typically dense neighbourhood in the Shinagawa area of Tokyo. With a building footprint of only 3m by 6m, the residence is an extreme example of the city’s capacity to maximize land use.

From the outside, the house appears as a narrow concrete box, rising 11.5m amidst shorter neighbouring houses built closely around it. The setback of the volume allows for a small garden at the entry on the only open side of the lot. The exterior surface is unadorned, with the exception of several windows of varying sizes placed according to specific views from the spaces within.

The interior is arranged as a series of ten platforms, each accessible from a central stair hung from the top of the volume. These platforms are located at different heights, and are staggered to provide easy visual access to other floors. The primary living area (dining room / kitchen) is at ground level, with storage on the level immediately below.

A sitting area and library, the bedroom and the bath occupy the sequence of levels above. The platforms toward the back of the house are only 1.6m deep.

In total, Atelier Bow-Wow arranged 65m² of usable space within the house.

Leed Street - Eva Street

P S

This building has been placed within an in-between space in the middle of Leed and Eva Street. This is an extremely challenging space to make hospitable as it is completely surrounding by high rise buildings, thus is receives almost no natural light. The only real time any natural light would access the building is at about midday, thus the large penetration that exists on the roof is a great example of how I might surpass this sunlight issue. This will allow lumination throughout the entirety of the upper floors whilst the sun is highest in the sky. As with the previous study, the floors are staggered, thus enabling great social interaction between each floor. There is no vegetation in this study, however the only viable place would be on the roof as the rest of the site couldn’t cater for the upkeep requirements of vegetation due to its minimal sunlight access. Because the surrounding buildings are so high, this building and its dwellings would prove most viable at the apex of the surrounding context, and culinary outlets and other public realms could reside below the dwellings on the ground floor.

- And from the connection of the platform and air space regions.

- Doesn’t inhibit the integrity of the existing architectural buildings and urbanscapes.

- Perforations will need to be made through the building mass to enable solar gain within the inhabitable spaces.

- There is potential for exploring different architectural dynamics, in terms of building form dimensions.

- This faceting is also all north facing, thus maximising solar gain.

- Creates greater potential for solar gain throughout all levels.

- Creates potential for outdoor spaces aboce floor level i.e. gardens.

- Is a passive means of designating each building mass with different programmes.

- Potential has also been creating for inhabitable roof tops / green roofs.

27

TAPERING

REDUCTION - Each geometry has begun to possess it’s own architectural identity.

- The design has become more subtle and efficient. It isn’t so over empowering.

- The lane way spaces are now more open to solar gain, as there is less obtrusive and unnessessary building mass.

- The top of each form has been tapered to allow more solar gain to the lower levels.

- Transition masses have been added to allow circulation between the upper floors of each form.

- A void has been added to the ground floor under the central building to create an outdoor public space.

massing FINALISATION

ANGLES

MATERIALITY

Angles have been further implemented to increase solar gain.

- Surfaces that are commonly South facing have been layered with a timber cladding.

- This also aids in creating a more subtle design, as straight cubic forms appear too obtrusive.

- Surfaces that are typically North, East, West facing have been layered with glazing.

- Given the surrounding context is all cubic form, this further distinguishes this design’s architectural integrity.

- Light timber is the chosen construction method, thus providing a warm, lively atmosphere.

This developed design presents an example of what could become of architecture within the creative industry in future years. The philosophy behind this scheme’s future application is not as obvious as utilising drones for example, as a construction or transportation method. Instead it’s future relevance is more subtle, in that it takes advantage of the existing epidemic that is evident in dense citys such as Wellington - the lane way. It would analyse opportunistic areas within the CBD and attempt to vitalise them through architecture and urban design in order to create the hospitable environment I set out to achieve in my equation brief. In regards to this specific site, this the urban redevelopment of connecting Eva and Egmont Street acts as an example for how to vitalise this under-utilised realm of the lane way. And the architecture development acts as an attraction to entice people to utilise the space, and as a creative hub for artistic patrons to apply their practice in a LIVE (housing units), WORK (gallery & studios), PLAY (‘The Eatery’ extension & performance space) public and private setting.

concept REFLECTION

RESIDENTIAL

CAFE/SUTDIO/TRANSITION - The transition spaces (bridges) prove too obtrusive as they block sunlight to the ground level.

- The materiality/form of the bridges should’ve differed from the building forms, thus better distinquishing their own identity.

- The form and thus the purpose of the gallery/cafe requires further critical analysis and questioning to prove successful.

- Currently there is one elevator per building form, this should be reduced to one elevtor for two buildings.

- Introduction of a new material or two would improve the aesthetic diversity of the building, and may present new form relation opportunities.

- Further detailing of construction methods etc will need to be achieved to a high standard to entail a convincing design scheme.

TRANSITION BRIDGES

I need to step back and reinvestigate why I need three seperate building forms in order to meet my brief. A viable option would be to combine all three of these programmes into one of these sites. This would enable me to create one concise architectural scheme to greater detail (quality over quantity).

It seemed appropriate to include a series of bridges between buildings to separate people occupying each building and people using only through the lane way. This is no longer necessary as there is enough space on the ground floor to cater for both, thus I shall remove all unnecessary bridges.

51

context REINVESTIGATION 1:500 CAFE

RESIDENTIAL

STUDIO

I have two options here: demolish these two buildings for a large scale intervention; or build on top of them as platform spaces.

The issue with demolishing one or both of these buildings is that although they may not be heritage, they possess a vintage aesthetic that enhances the lane way atmosphere. However as a further expansion this could prove a viable site if need be.

The issue with building upon them is that they possess gable roofs which would prove unnecessarily difficult in terms of construction detailing.

The major issue with my concept scheme was that it’s shear size wasn’t fully justified given how little sun this space already gained. The building itself worked somewhat effectively as a residential complex in terms of it’s form and programme, although it’s surrounding conditions weren’t fully considered. Examples of this are as following: the neighbouring windows would’ve been completely blocked by certain faces of the building; and the ground floor would’ve gained essentially zero sunlight; thus impairing the surrounding context rather than enhancing it.

This space presents the greatest opportunity and it was under-utilised in my concept scheme.

Firstly, I’d remove the Avis Rent-A-Car to link Eva St and Egmont St. This would open up this space for a building/outdoor space which could serve as a design/art studio and performance space (catering to the ‘Artistic’ and ‘Music’ aspect of my brief).

Secondly, is the pre-existing cafe (The Eatery).

I’d propose an extended outdoor seating space for this establishment (catering to the ‘Food’ aspect of my brief).

NEWLY OPEN SPACE

BUILDING FOOTPRINT

One of the two green space’s I proposed from the concept milestone will remain to accompany the intended architectural intervention. This space could also present opportunity to house a series of smaller, lightweight buildings. They could take the form of a miniaturized version of my initial residential concept. It will be important to attempt to mimic all of the successful elements from my initial concept into this miniturised version e.g. the ‘tetris’ styled building formation, and the angled faces to maximise solar gain.

Because Eva and Egmont St have already been revitalised, it made sense to connect the two lane ways to further enhance this revitalisation.

I will be keeping the large contemporary fence design that is located between Avis and The Eatery as it would prove wasteful to dispose of it, thus it will be relocated to enhance the atmosphere of this open space. The angle that’s created as the open space meets Egmont St adds great opportunity for outdoor congregations, opposed to just another lane way if there wasn’t an angle.

The angled building footprint being what allows for this open, outdoor congregation space.

Also because this facet is angled towards the North East, the studio spaces will recieve mostly morning and early afternoon sunlight.

Assuming the majority of people would work in these spaces during these hours and go home at approximately 5pm, this should enable for a comfortable environment given that heat regulation is considered within the facade elements. A modular slat system could prove a viable option.

53

building REDEVELOPMENT 1:200 section HOUSING UNITS

SEATING / PERFORMANCE SPACE

PUBLIC SPACE

PRIVATE SPACE

Because the primary programem of the main building is a design/art studio, I assume some of the working occupants will want to stay the night to complete a set of drawings or an art piece, for instance. These units will be located on the green roof which will be connected to the main building with one of the bridges designed from the concept phase.

These units will house the bare neccesities for overnight stay: a kitchenette and bathroom on the gorund floor; and a single bed located on the upper floor.

The seating aspect of this region (left side) will serve as an extension of ‘The Eatery’, as the current seating area for this establishment interferes with the Egmont St lane way. The addition of this extra seating space will not only benefit ‘The Eatery’ (food aspect of brief), but will also provide a large congregation space to draw people in to the building’s public spaces.

A performance space will aid in creating a sense of ambient power, thus enhancing this insentive for people to congregate (music aspect of brief).

This region will be intended as a space for patrons to publicly view Artists/Designers as they practice their art form (artistic aspect of brief). In order for this to successfully work the space will need to be open 24/7. To ensure the security of the Artist’s work, the space will be sectioned off for each artist, and each region will require a transparent/secure security system. They’ll be transparent because it will allow people to view the works as they please, and secure because it will ensure all the art works are safe from theft/vandalism.

It will be important to consider that not all Artists will want to work within a public realm, thus this region will be as intended as a space for Artists/ Designers to work privately if need be. When they have completed a piece of work they can then move it to the public studio space to be viewed. Given that the entirety of the building length is 23m, this region is therefore 11.5m. Each floor could house two seperate private studios at approximately 3-5m wide with the potential to connect the two to create one large private studio at each floor.

The positioning of these columns @1750cts also allows for the seemless integration of my faceted facade system. If it is the timber mullion and glass component of the facade, it can simply be assembled and applied on site via a crane. And if the precast concrete panels, they can also be immediately applied when neccesary via crane, given that they are precast.

The concrete columns on the upper flloors play a major part in assigning the required programme for the public gallery space at the East end of the building. In referencing the plans in the ‘Structural Plans’ section of this report, it becomes evident how these columns could effectively divide each region into strips. Each region or strip would be intended as a viewing/working space for each Artist’s piece of art.

Partition walls, sliding walls, bi-folding doors would slide and/or move along the beams that connect the columns at end of the moment frame.

The building consists of three floors (not including ground floor), and is 23.3m long and 12.7m wide. At this maximum width at the West end of the building, it tapers in to where it reaches 4.5m in width at the East side of the building.

The materiality of the building consists of an ongoing contrast between precast concrete and LVL timber.

In terms of building mass and form, the building consists of two separate halves: the East end (being the shortest width) consists of the public gallery/ studio space, which features a faceted timber slat and precast concrete panel facade system; the West end consists of a series of three separate masses that house the private studio spaces, which features a double skin facade system of floor - floor glazing on the interior, and a vertical timber slat system.

This building is intended as a Art/ Design Studio with both public and private areas for patrons to work. There is an additional area of residential dwellings that is connected to the main building to the West, however this report will solely assess the main building as it requires the most analysis for it to be considered structurally sound.

resist ANALYSIS Assumptions: - Because resist won’t allow for different lengths of individual structural members, the width of the building was set to a rectangular shape and halved from the building’s max width of 12.7m to 6.35m.

This will allow for a sensible median to be achieved for the structural results.

- In the previous plan drawings the East half of the building’s columns are shown @1570cts, as this is how it is at the upper floors. However the ground floor consists of columns @3140cts, this is because the extra column isn’t necessary due to the large size of the columns, thus at the upper floors it’s mainly for aiding in programme establishment and creating the architectural aesthetic I wish to achieve with the facade.

- Because of the previous assumption, the COR and COM are in the incorrect positions given the actual perimeter of my initially design floor plan. I am assuming that the COR and COM in the designed building will be located further to the left side of the building.

Centre of Mass (COM) Centre of Rotation (COR)

Integration: - As stated in the second assumption, the established concrete columns on the upper floors play a major part in assigning the required programme for the public gallery space at the East end of the building. In referencing the plans in the ‘Structural Plans’ section of this report, it becomes evident how these columns could effectively divide each region into strips.

Each region or strip would be intended as a viewing/ working space for each Artist’s piece of art. Partition walls, sliding walls, bi-folding doors would slide and/or move along the beams that connect the columns at end of the moment frame.

- The positioning of these columns @1750cts also allows for the seamless integration of my faceted facade system.

If it is the timber mullion and glass component of the facade, it can simply be assembled and applied on site via a crane. And if the precast concrete panels, they can also be immediately applied when necessary via crane, given that they are precast.

services STRATEGY To effectively utilise each space of the studio the building will require the following: mechanical heating/cooling to ensure an adequate temperature is maintained so the artist’s and onlooker’s don’t overheat, and so artworks don’t become malformed; mechanical ventilation to maximise control over of air quality and air velocity, thus ensuring the condition of each art piece is not unsettled; security services i.e. remotely lockable doors, fire alarms, security alarms; data services i.e. server rooms, will cater to the storage and protection of any and all important work.

Because there will be a constant stream of occupants, the building will be at risk of overheating, and with the artificial heating/ cooling and ventilation requirements to ensure a controllable condition, there will be a large capital and running cost to maintain system performance.

Despite this cost it is still an imperative factor that must be implemented into the building, thus any involved stake holders will have to comply with these costs if they wish to invest in the studio.

Being the most versatile and most widely used heating and cooling system for large buildings, VAV was the most viable primary option for this building. A small floor surface area had to be sacrificed in order to adequately implement the required space for plumbing and electrical risers. This being a 1700 x 750mm shaft that is located in-between the elevator shaft and bathroom. This does not effect the architectural layout of the surrounding spaces in any way, and if anything it has given purpose to an unutilised space.

Although natural ventilation will not be this building’s primary services solution, it will play a secondary role when seen necessary by the occupants. All glazing elements throughout the building will have the ability to be opened, and given this extends through the entirety of the building, it will most likely be highly utilised solution in order to avoid high electrical costs. All electrical wiring, plumbing piping and required HVAC will only have to travel a maximum of 14m out of the attributed riser.
