MULTI-USE MIDRIS MIDRISE

THE MIDRISE WAS DESIGNED TO HOUSE SINGLE PARENT FAMILIES – THE DWELLING ENCOURAGES THE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF COMMUNITY AND HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. THE GROUND FLOOR CONNECTS THE TWO GREEN SPACES THAT SIT ON BOTH SIDES OF THE SITE – THE “SIDE YARD” AND THE PARK. THIS IS DONE SO THE RESIDENTS AS WELL AS REGULAR PEDESTRIANS WOULD BE ABLE TO WALK THROUGH THE BUILDING ALONG VARIOUS STORES

THE RESIDENTIAL PART OF THE BUILDING IS A CIRCULAR TOWER THAT HOUSES 6 APARTMENTS ON EACH FLOOR, WHICH SURROUND A CONCRETE CORE THAT CONTAINS FIRE STAIRS, ELEVATORS AND MECHANICAL SPACES. THERE ARE THREE UNIT TYPES: 3, 2 AND 1 BEDROOM APARTMENTS. EACH UNIT HAS GREAT ACCESS TO SUNLIGHT BECAUSE OF THE LARGE GLASS WINDOWS AND ORIENTATION OF THE LIVING SPACES. EACH UNIT ALSO HAS ACCESS TO A BALCONY.

DUE TO THE RAPID INDUSTRIALIZATION, OVERPOPULATION AND MANY OTHER PROBLEMS HUMANITY FACES TODAY, BRINGING FARMING INTO THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT IS A GREAT STEP TOWARDS THE IMPROVEMENT OF FOOD QUALITY AND NUTRITION AWARENESS. IT COULD BECOME A SOLUTION TO WATER SHORTAGE, AS WELL AS SOLVE MANY NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF TRADITIONAL FARMING LIKE SOIL AND WATER CONTAMINATION, DEFORESTATION AND HIGH LEVELS OF COST AND WASTE. IN THIS PROJECT THE URBAN FARMS WOULD BE USED TO BRING THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER AND ENABLE PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THEIR FOOD PRODUCTION. ORGANIC MARKET

ARTISTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S TOWNHOUSE

DESIGNED FOR A PAINTER AND A TATTOO ARTIST, THE PROJECT IS BASED ON THE CONCEPT OF LIGHT AND TEXTURE. SUNLIGHT TRAVELS FREELY THROUGH THE BUILDING, THROUGH THE SERIES OF GLASS SURFACES AND DOUBLE HEIGHT SPACES. THE MAIN STAIRCASE LOCATED IN THE HEART OF THE TOWNHOUSE IS OPEN TO THE SKY, LETTING EVEN MORE LIGHT IN A VERTICAL DIRECTION. SPACES ARE ACCENTUATED BY A USE OF DIFFERENT MATERIALS: THE MAIN STAIR CASE I HIGHLIGHTED BY A DRAMATIC AND COLORFUL ROCK WALL WHILE BEING SURROUNDED WITH VERY CONTRASTING MATERIALS SUCH AS GLASS AND POLISHED WOOD.

THE INTERIOR OF THE HOUSE IS ARRANGED IN AN OPEN CONCEPT MANNER - THE PUBLIC SPACES SUCH AS THE LIVING, DINNING, AND EVEN THE PARTY ROOM IN THE BASEMENT ARE JOINED, AND OPEN. THE MATERIAL CHOICES ARE DOMINATED BY A CONTINUOUS STONE WALL, WHICH BRINGS AN ATMOSPHERE OF WARMTH AND NATURE INTO THE BUILDING. MOST OF THE INTERIOR IS CLAD WITH DIFFERENT KINDS OF WOOD, IN ORDER TO ENFORCE THE ATMOSPHERE OF WARMTH AND COMFORT.

ACOUSTICAL ANALYSIS The ceiling wood panels inside the performance space are designed to redirect the sound from the stage to the receiver which is where the audience sit or stand. On the side walls we attempted to use materials that on one hand reflect the sound and also materials that absorb the sound. This is the key balance between absorption and reflection that maintains the acoustical integrity of the performance space. Therefore the wooden wood panels and corten steel is used for reflection, and soft material on the wall and furniture helps to absorb the sound.

STAGE

ACOUSTICAL ANALYSIS THE CEILING WOOD PANELS INSIDE THE PERFORMANCE SPACE ARE DESIGNED TO REDIRECT THE SOUND FROM THE STAGE TO THE RECEIVER WHICH IS WHERE THE AUDIENCE SITS/STANDS. ON THE SIDE WALLS I USED THE MATERIALS THAT REFLECT THE SOUND AS WELL AS MATERIALS THAT ABSORB it. THIS WAS DONE IN ORDER TO HAVE A BALANCE BETWEEN REFLECTION AND ABSORPTION, IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THE ACOUSTICAL QUALITY OF THE PERFORMANCE SPACE.

HUI VILLAGE COMPLETED IN MAY 2016

CONCEPT

TRADITIONAL

EXPLODE

REDEFINE

THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT WAS TO CREATE A MULTI-FUNCTIONAL CONTEMPORARY VILLAGE WHILE MAINTAINING TRADITIONAL HUI STYLE TYPICAL TO THE REGION. IN THIS CONTEXT HUI STYLE REFERS TO THE CULTURE OF AN ETHNIC GROUP IN CHINA, TYPICALLY KNOWN FOR THEIR SIMPLISTIC ARCHITECTURE THAT FEATURES NATURAL MATERIALS, WHITE TEXTURES, AS WELL AS ROOFS SIMILAR TO TRADITIONAL CHINESE ARCHITECTURE. WE ATTEMPTED TO COMBINE TRADITIONAL AND MODERN ELEMENTS IN OUR BUILDING AND SPACE DESIGN, REINTERPRETING THE TRADITIONAL HUI VALUES IN A CONTEMPORARY MATTER.

FORM GENERATION THE BUILDING MASSING ABOVE SHOWS THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE BUILDINGS TO THE WATER, INDICATING THE IMPORTANCE OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ARCHITECTURE AND LANDSCAPE. THE USE OF THE WATER UNIFIES THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE LANDSCAPE AND THE ARCHITECTURE THROUGH THE REFLECTION, CREATING A BEAUTIFUL AND POETIC ENVIRONMENT. THE MOUNTAINS IN THE BACKGROUND WHICH ARE TYPICAL TO THE GEOGRAPHY OF THE REGION SPEAKS TO THE ROOF SHAPES, WHICH ARE JUXTAPOSED WITH THE LANDSCAPE.

LINEAR

CONVEX CONCAVE

THE UNUSUAL, CUBIST SHAPES OF ROOFS ARE A RESULT OF TRANSLATION OF TRADITIONAL CHINESE ROOF FORMS INTO A MORE SIMPLISTIC, MODERN AESTHETIC. VISUALLY THEY LOOK DIFFERENT, YET THEIR ORGANIZATION AND FORM STILL CARRY THE ESSENCE OF HUI AESTHETIC.

THE REDEVELOPMENT OF SOCHI OLYMPIC VILLAGE WAS FOCUSED ON REORGANIZING AND REBUILDING OF THE MULTIPLE BUILDINGS AND SPACES IN ORDER TO SERVE THE PUBLIC OF THE LIVELY TOURIST CITY OF SOCHI. A LARGE PART OF THE TASK WAS TO BRING BACK THE NATURAL ELEMENTS OF THE SITE, MAKING THE VILLAGE INTO A NATURAL AND USER FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT. I WAS A PART OF THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN PART OF THE PROJECT AND MY MAIN INVOLVEMENT CONSISTED OF RENDERINGS AND PRESENTATIONS OF CONCEPTS.

PERSONAL WORK FOR TURENSCAPE: SINGAPORE RAIL CORRIDOR:

CHOA CHU KANG HOUSING DEVELOPMENT COMPLETED IN AUGUST 2016

CHOA CHU KANG AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECT WAS ONE OF TWO SITES FOR SINGAPORE RAIL CORRIDOR DEVELOPED BY TURENSCAPE, IN COLLABORATION WITH MKPL ARCHITECTS. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT IS TO CREATE EXCELLENT AND NATURE ORIENTED LIVING CONDITIONS FOR A VARIETY OF SOCIAL CLASSES, AS WELL AS HONOR THE HISTORICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL HERITAGE OF THE SITE. MY ROLE ON THIS PROJECT CONSISTED OF WORKING ON SCHEMATIC DESIGN â&#x20AC;&#x201C; RENDERINGS, SITE PLANS, DIAGRAMS, PRESENTATIONS AND CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT.

CONCEPT THE OLD RAILWAY TRACKS REMAINED ON THE SITE AND AS A HISTORICAL MONUMENT THEY BECAME A FOCAL POINT OF THE PROJECT. THEY STRETCH THROUGHOUT A LARGE PORTION OF THE FOREST LINE. THE BARELY ALTERED 50 METER WIDE FOREST LINE GOES ON FOR MANY KILOMETERS AND SERVES AS AN ESCAPE TO NATURE. TURENSCAPE’S PHILOSOPHY OF “LIGHT TOUCH” IN TERMS OF LANDSCAPE DESIGN IS EVIDENT IN THE SUBTLE ADDITIONS TO THE GREEN BELT, MAINTAINING A BALANCE BETWEEN THE NATURAL LANDSCAPE AND USER FRIENDLY PLACE.

BASILICA OF THE 21 CENTURY ST

COMPLETED IN APRIL 2016

CONCEPT CONTINUATION OF THE GREEN BELT

A BASILICA OF THE 21ST CENTURY IS A PLACE OF NOT ONLY RELIGIOUS WORSHIP, BUT ALSO COMMUNITY, DIVERSITY AND ACCEPTANCE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A PLACE THAT ATTRACTS PEOPLE OF VARIOUS AGES, RACES AND RELIGIOUS BACKGROUNDS IS MANIFESTED IN THIS BUILDING DESIGN THAT CAN RELATE TO EVERYONE. WATER IS AN ELEMENT THAT CREATES AND SUSTAINS LIFE AND IS ALSO A SYMBOL FOR SPIRITUAL CLEANSING IN EVERY CULTURE. FOR THESE REASONS, THE PRESENCE OF A WATER FEATURE BECAME THE MAJOR COMPONENT OF THE PROJECT. A LARGE POOL OF WATER RUNS THROUGH THE ENTIRE SITE, CREATING AN ATTRACTIVE FEATURE FOR THE PEOPLE TO WALK BY IN THE SUMMER, AND A LIVELY SKATING RINK IN THE WINTER. THE CENTRAL AXIS, WHICH LIES ON THE PATH AND THROUGH BOTH BUILDINGS, SERVES TO LEAD ONE THROUGH THE SITE USING A MEDITATIVE PATH BY THE WATER, RECREATIONAL FACILITIES AND AN OPEN PUBLIC SPACE. THE LINEAR AXIS RUNNING ACROSS THE SITE LEADS INTO THE WORSHIP SPACE, CONCLUDING AT THE ALTAR.

SUSTAINABILITY ROOF COLLECTED WATER

ASSEMBLY THE WALL ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO REACH AN R-VALUE OF 14.7 M2·K/W. THE FLOOR ASSEMBLY OF THE CANTILEVERED PORTIONS ARE TO BE FILLED WITH PLENTY OF INSULATION, AND SHOULD REACH AN R-VALUE OF 30.8 M2·K/W. SYSTEMS THIS PROJECT WOULD IMPLEMENT THE USE OF A WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM THAT TREATS THE WATER THAT IS TO REPLENISH WHAT HAS EVAPORATED FROM THE SITE’S WATER FEATURE. ESSENTIALLY, WATER COLLECTED FROM THE ROOF OF THE BASILICA BUILDING WOULD BE HELD IN A TANK. THE POSSIBLE OVERFLOW WOULD BE RELEASED INTO THE LANDSCAPE, ALL IN ALL REDUCING THE SITE’S RUNOFF WATER.

MATERIALITY COPPER IS THE OPTIMAL CLADDING FOR THIS DESIGN THAT ACHIEVES THE ARCHITECTURAL EXPRESSION OF A RAW SIMPLICITY. COPPER IS A DURABLE, LASTING EXTENSIVE PERIODS OF TIME WHILE REQUIRING LITTLE MAINTENANCE. THIS IS CRUCIAL AS THE NOTION OF A BUILDING OF WORSHIP IS A BUILDING THAT CAN STAND THE TEST OF TIME, AS WITH MANY ARCHITECTURAL ICONS THROUGHOUT HISTORY. THIS ENFORCES THE BUILDINGS IMPORTANCE AND LIFE-EXPECTANCY. IT IS ALSO A HIGHLY RECYCLABLE, MEANING IT IS ABLE TO BE RECYCLED NUMEROUS TIMES WITHOUT DIMINISHING ITS QUALITY. ESSENTIALLY, THE NEED TO FORGE NEW COPPER IS REDUCED BECAUSE IT CAN EASILY BE GIVEN A SECOND-LIFE.

LIGHT THE DESIGN OF THE BUILDING IS SUSTAINABLE IN TERMS OF THE LIGHT ENTRANCE. THE GLAZING ON THE WEST AND NORTH SIDES IS MINIMIZED, WHILE THE MAJORITY IS ON THE EAST AND SOUTH SIDES. THE BUILDING IS PROTECTED FROM THE INTENSE SOUTH LIGHT BY THE OVERHANGS. THE WALL TO GLAZING RATIO IS ALSO LOW, WHILE THE INTERIOR OF THE BUILDING STILL GETS PLENTY OF NATURAL LIGHT.

EXTERIOR STAIR STRUCTURE ANTI-SLIP TEXTURE

THE MAIN EXTERIOR STAIRCASE WAS CHOSEN TO BE DETAILED IN DEPTH BECAUSE IT IS ONE OF THE MOST DRAMATIC GESTURES OF THE PROJECT AND PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN DEFINING THE CIRCULATION ON THE SITE AND ESTABLISHING THE APPROACH TO THE WORSHIP SPACE INSIDE THE BASILICA. THE STEEL STAIRS WAS MEANT TO APPEAR LIGHT, YET BE WIDE AND STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD LARGE AMOUNTS OF PEOPLE.
