PROJECT INFO Designing a concept store for Chinese streetwear brand HiPanda in the centre of Harajuku, Tokyo was a chance to make an emphatic debut to the Japanese fashion scene. The design evolved from the simple concept of a clearing within a bamboo forest. This was then abstracted and developed to lend a more youthful sensibility to the shop. Thousands upon thousands of grey-blue porcelain modules are stacked in undulating and scalloped walls and alcoves. This forms an iridescent and sinuous backdrop to the bold and stark graphics of the brand. This concept is further transferred to the exterior, where the existing storefront is renovated with large expanses of corrugated concrete and glass. Contributions include: All 2D and 3D drawing, modelling and rendering, client and executive architect communication, physical prototyping.

PROJECT INFO As part of the development of a masterplan for the Camden Goods Yard area Niall McLaughlin Architects worked with Morrisons, Barratt Homes and Allies & Morrison to redesign the Petrol Filling Station site. Occupying a prominent location on Chalk Farm Road and falling within the Regent’s Canal Conservation Area, the building marks the main point of access to the new neighbourhood. It incorporates an existing petrol filling station into a mixed-use building that accommodates workspace alongside retail, a cafe, restaurant and winter garden. The complex mix of uses on a tight urban site was arranged to maximise area while establishing distinct design references to the existing heritage listed stables market and ‘great wall of Camden’. Contributions include: All 3D drawing, modelling and rendering, planning meetings and submission, consultant communication.

MAGDALENE COLLEGE LIBRARY CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY ONGOING Niall McLaughlin Architects
PROJECT INFO Our successful scheme for the New College Library competition appears as an arrangement of very simple brick volumes which echo the typical gabled architecture of the existing College. The main Library is a suite of interconnecting rooms lined with bookcases, reading desks and galleries. The spaces are single height, double height and triple height, with the scale at its largest overlooking the lawn and the water. The stepping down of the volumes gives a sense of terracing towards the open space of the lawn with glimpses connecting through each room. The vistas along the length of the spaces will frame views out over the quadrangles and towards the town. The façade towards the Master’s Garden provides indirect light but no views into the more private areas of the College. Contributions include: 3D drawing, modelling and rendering, 2D drawing packages and planning submission

COMPETITION WINNER COBE Architects - (Currently under construction) As featured on Archdaily: https://www.archdaily.com/781976/cobe-chosen-to-develop-christiansholm-island-incopenhagen
PROJECT INFO Christiansholm, also known as Paper Island having stored huge rolls of newsprint for decades for the Danish press, is uniquely located in the heart of Copenhagen’s waterfront. In recent years, the island has become an urban destination in Copenhagen with a vibrant street life that welcomes citizens and guests inside old industrial warehouses and make up a unique and versatile setting for multiple cultural activities. The vision for the project is to create a series of new halls for informal, public functions such as an event hall and a swimming hall. Private housing will be placed on top of the halls which encirles a green and intimate courtyard. The whole island will be flanked by a unifying public promenade. The existing vivid public life is balanced with the private life of the future inhabitants to make the island attractive for visitors as well as local residents.

PLAN B HIVE
AN OUTPOST IN THE HINTERLAND FINAL YEAR MASTERS THESIS 2014 Victoria University
Winner of the Institution Category in ‘Rethinking the Future - International Architectural Thesis Awards’, 2015 Top 12 National Finalist in the New Zealand Institute of Architects + Graphisoft Competition, 2014
THESIS ABSTRACT In May 2014, the New Zealand Government released plans that in the wake of a major Wellington disaster, parliament would temporarily shift to Auckland. This thesis instead proposes an alternative governmental ‘outpost’ on the Kapiti Coast. Functioning as a Disaster Research Centre, this would maintain the flexibility to support a temporary ‘crisis parliament’ post-catastrophe. The notion of an ‘outpost’ stems from observations of the 2011 Christchurch earthquake and recognises how important sub-centres have been in supporting the city as it slowly recovers. While this thesis tests a specific scenario, it becomes an example of establishing a resilient polycentricism between the city and its hinterland. Identifying a ‘peri-urban’ condition, this thesis investigates architecture’s role at the periphery, exploring alternative models of settlement to the existing exurban sprawl. These alternatives are explored through design-led research that culminates in a developed design presented as Plan B-Hive. Within a large quarry, the extreme scenario is matched by an extreme site, and investigates a settlement shift away from the coast to the more stable foothills. As a monolithic and singular form, it becomes a provocation for enlarged architecture in the hinterland. Through the lens of architect and theorist Pier Aureli, the thesis explores a confluence between the political and formal mechanisms of architecture and the possibility they hold in structuring urban space.

The form is a pure and monolithic span across the quarry valley, a muted line in the landscape. It is an autonomous box, secure and emblematic of this retreat to higher, more stable ground. The pure orthogonal volume juxtaposes the unusual, austere scar left by the quarry. Its elevated volume requires minimal further excavation and preserves the usable flat ground below for disaster overflow functions.

Plan B Hive: An Outpost In The Hinterland Prompted by a report that, in the event of a natural disaster, the seat of government will be relocated from Wellington to Auckland’s Devonport naval base, this scheme is a means of keeping parliament near the Capital. A building in the Kapiti Coast foothills,
The Beehive’s replacement is an impregnable building spanning the site of a former quarry on the Kapiti Coast.
NZIA Graphisoft
within the site of an existing quarry, provides a resilient base for a crisis government and, pre-emergency, functions as a disaster research centre. It also seeks to engage in some site repair, offer a sense of “civicness” and serve as a kind of suspended city wall between a straggling township and its rural interior.

Citation
After an earthquake in Wellington the Beehive’s occupants are relocated to a groundscraper fortress in the Kapiti Coast foothills. Clever siting, a bold and singular formal treatment, and a strong polemic distinguish Benjamin’s scheme. This is a real proposition, presented with wit and verve.

CUBA STREE T CLUSTER H E R I TA G E R E S T O R AT I O N A N D R E G E N E R AT I O N FOURTH YEAR DESIGN 2013 Victoria University
Winner of the New Zealand Historic Places Trust award for excellence in Heritage Design Winner of the Stephenson & Turner Award for Excellence in Integrated Design (Structural) Winner of the NZIA Graphisoft Highly Commended 4th Year Design Award This project details the design for a cluster of buildings adjoining Cuba street with the vision of projected completion in 2039. The redesign began with a seismic retrofit of a heritage art-deco building named “The Vic”. Reinvigorating the site with its original programme, a boutique hotel, the design worked with the verticality of the original stripped classicism and aimed to expose the new structure as the new 'bones' required to support the failing heritage building. Extending the site in a second phase, the large plot was consolidated with a second building. In order to capitalize on what is the largest plot within the urban block, a proposal evolved for an university campus - ‘Faculty of Innovation and Technological Change.’ The design deals with both the heritage precinct character and the dual need for innovation. Formally, the main concern was to break down the bulk of the building mass so that while on a larger plot, the building will be more in keeping with the finer urban grain elsewhere in the block. This was done through iterative testing and shifting of mass, and further variegation of façade fenestration and patterning. Internally, the major planning principle relies on a central feature stair in which the floor plates tangentially pivot about, creating multiple overlapping openings. Kept mostly open, small pods are inserted for key functions while the remaining space is left amorphous and fluid, with the notion that open learning will occur as students and teachers alike populate the spaces as they see fit.

Winner of the TEAM Architects National Distinction Award for Fourth Year Design
Spinal Settlements is a that project works to redefine a live/work typology and is simultaneously based on both replicability and individuality. The response to the brief was heavily informed by the typology of swales, used as both regenerating device for a polluted site, and the major urban tectonic that subsequently underpinned the entire masterplan. Creating a hyper dense solution to living, the aim is to also offer an increased sense of community within distinct elevated villages, a kind of autonomous collectivism. This is enabled by prefabricated dwelling modules (or living organs) that are entirely supported by an economic and structural ‘spine’. The design attempts to maintain a sense of individual identity when moving from detached to multi-unit housing. The ultimate goal was a kind of master form that could evolve over time and yet maintain visual consistency and a sense of continuing order. A ‘dynamic cellularism’ is set up, where the assemblage of units is more in terms of growth and change than of mere addition, more akin to patterns of crystal formations or biological divisions than to the static rigidity of a structural grid. Public space prevails in the interstices of the dwelling, integral to the form of the design as a social condenser.
