Component 1 Upper Six 2021
Chan Mann
Specification Contemporary • My design will involve multiple spaces on the inside to provide different spaces for the resident
of the housing complex • It will include smaller social spaces both on the outside and within the structure like a small space where residents can sit meet and relax. • An underground car park so not to waste space for the green land surrounding the space. • Disabled access to all spaces in the complex • The site must have easy to use and multiple bike storage spaces to promote cycling to go with the sustainability theme • Solar farm will be incorporated into the design in order to make the energy sources sustainable • I will have wind turbines incorporated into the design and they will have a organic shape so that they blend well with the rural surroundings
My design will be a combination of commercial domestic and social spaces. In this project I will be designing a community housing complex for a local resident which delivers multiple purposes. The main purpose of making the space is to create a space which is sociable calming and also technical. My design will support not just a
single function but a large range of functions making the space appropriate for all residents no matter their personal preference. The theme of my design will be sustainability whereby a large percentage of the buildings energy will be sourced from renewable sources. This could be through the sun and also through wind. By researching architects and building that incorporate sustainability in their design, I can be inspired and gather an understanding of how to utilise the space that I choose and meet my brief. The space that I design will also need to have a professional aesthetic and the spaces within the buildings will need to be easy to access. The main entrance to the space will be a grand feature to the space because it sets the first impressions to the rest of the space.
Mood Board Contemporary
Location Brentwood My site is an urban BT centre in Brentwood. It backs onto a rural country park. I chose this location because of the space that is there ready to be developed. The site is currently flat which means that it would be perfect
Existing Building
o build a housing complex on it. The space is also surrounded by rural views which would really help bring
the design out in the contempered buildings that I plan to design. This site has no buildings surrounding the centre of the site which block sun light entering the space. Therefore, sunlight can be easily maximised and will be an integral aspect of the design. In order to maximise this I will research into the sun paths of the area. Also, in order to make the design stand out less I will try to integrate the build in order to show the least amount of material that juxtaposes to the location. As seen via the illustration on the right you can see that
the current sit is an industrial building owned by British Telecom. They are now interested in selling the site and the local council are willing to have a new build on the site. I believe that the location is waisted currently being an industrial office unit. This space would be best utilised whilst working in hand with nature. So a sustainable design approach would be best suited to this location enabling the users to maximise on the rural surrounding setting.
Main Gate Entry
Location Weald Park Brentwood is a suburban town with a small shopping area and high street. Beyond this are residential developments surrounded by open countryside and woodland; some of this countryside lies within only a few hundred yards of the town center. Brentwood's name is derived from 'Burnt Wood', referring to a clearing made in the dense forest covering this part of Essex by a fire. Weald Country Park is a 700-year-old, 500-acre country park in South Weald in the borough of Brentwood in the English county of Essex. It is on the north-east fringe of Greater London. Weald manor, parts of which dated to the 16th century, was bought by Sir Anthony Browne in 1547 and he died at Weald Hall in 1567. This park falls behind the site that I want to develop on. This really would suite a lot of different users that could live in the housing complex. I could implement some rural components into my design which could allow the contemporary design to flow with the rural space that falls behind it.
Sustainability Wind Turbine In order to research into sustainability, I decided the best idea to research further into was to research into wind turbines. I believe they would be great to implement into my design. However, the regular single blade dual blade and tri-blade turbines obstruct the rural setting of the park setting. So, I decided that it could be redesigned in order to give it a more natural and contemporary design. I decided to make the turbines the shape of tree branches. Also, in terms of scale these turbines will be no higher than 6ft and you could have a small turbine farm in the garden. Which enables the space to have sustainable energy storage. This means that the house has less impact on the environment. After having
Sustainability Wind Behaviour I decided to research into the behaviour of wind and the effect that it has on different types of structures. The structure of a building can effect the way the wind impacts it. The diagram on the bottom of the page illustrates how the wind hits harder on square buildings where it is not redirected by the structure. However, with the structure on the right it allows for the wind that hits the building to be redirected and
allows for the building to be more aerodynamic. As the wind blows against a building, the resulting force acting on the elevations is called the ‘wind load’. The building’s structural design must absorb wind forces safely and efficiently and transfer them to the foundations in order to avoid structural collapse. All roofs are subject to wind uplift, which will vary according to location, terrain, height, size, shape and exposure. Wind uplift occurs when the air pressure under a roof is greater than the air pressure above it.
This
can
be

wind,

can
increase pressure below the roof, while the speed of wind over the roof surface can reduce air pressure above it, in much the same way it does over an aircraft wing. This can cause damage to the roof if the difference in pressure becomes too great.
Sustainability Sun Path Analysis The sun path, sometimes also called the day arc, refers to the daily and seasonal path the sun appears to follow across the sky as the earth orbits it and rotates. Sun-path analysis predicts the daylight experience at any building plot, helping us to design and orientate a building to make the most of sunlight and solar gains. As shown by the
bottom illustration the rear side of my site has the most available sunlight so this is where the majority of interior space needing light will be situated. I also researched into the way that shadows from the sun can effect levels of light and create dark areas around a building. This has allowed me to visualise how the positioning of certain components can effect lighting conditions of other spaces.

Sustainability Solar Energy Solar energy is radiant light and heat from the Sun that is harnessed using a range of technologies such as solar power to generate electricity, solar thermal energy including solar water heating. The large magnitude of solar energy available makes it a highly appealing source of electricity. Solar water heating (or solar thermal) uses sunlight to heat the water you'll then use in your bathroom or kitchen. Even in the cloudy UK, solar energy can meet more than half of your annual hot water demand. Typically, solar panels should sit at an angle between 18 to 36 degrees for maximum sunlight exposure. If you're in the northern hemisphere, your solar panels should be orientated towards the south. Likewise, they should be facing north if you're in the southern hemisphere.
Research Bearings A ball bearing is a type of rolling-element bearing that serves three main functions while it facilitates motion: it carries loads, reduces friction and positions moving machine parts. The purpose of a ball bearing is to reduce rotational friction and support radial and axial loads. As one of the bearing races rotates it causes the balls to
rotate as well. In terms of sustainability this could be implemented into the design to create sustainable energy. On the next page I will analyse how kinetic energy can be used to make energy. I also decided to break the bearing system into parts which allowed me to see exactly how the fundamentals of it work. So II gain a better understanding of my research.
Research Bearings Movement Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of the object and to the square of its velocity: K.E. = 1/2 m v2. If the mass has units of kilograms and the velocity of meters per second, the kinetic energy has units of kilograms-meters squared per second squared. Kinetic architecture is experimenting with movable building parts, such as rotating facade elements or folding walls. I could experiment will the idea of a moving building which generates energy to keep itself sustainable and use sustainable energy to run itself.
I then decided to research into tank treads which use a similar system to move tank. Which shows the energy you
can build from a material moving around bearings. This kinetic energy can be stored if designed correctly and then re-used to power in terms of electricity. The idea of having a track like material going around a set of bearings for energy may be something I develop in the following pages. This would create a unique way to make energy with relying on the external conditions like water, sun and wind.
Development Bearings I decided to develop the design to make the bearing shape itself a actual building. I decided to have the outer shape as the rotating part which could create kinetic energy to help power the building in order to make it more sustainable. I decided to split the shape to make two floors.. This the gave me the idea of extended this partition out to make a balcony which not only gives cover to the ground level but allows for residents to look out and enjoy the rural views around the building. The rear of this design could be made majority glass to maximise the levels of light that enter the building. Throughout different times of the day and maximise on the path of the sun which I researched earlier.
First Floor Ground Floor
Development Bearings This model is actually made from breaking apart my previous two models. I felt that the best way to develop my ideas was to integrate parts of each idea and combine the best bits and this has helped be design this model. The majority of the round circle which makes up the majority of the model is made from the curved wall on my café that I had made previously. The café has two floors which gives extra seating space making the space more practical. The balcony and the extended space below allows for outdoor eating which meets the brief given to us for this design. The open fronted design is brought over from the design of the previous model. This allows people to see straight through the design and makes the space look more open and bigger to the eye.
I integrated a corrugated shape on the outside which gives an Industrial aesthetic to the exterior of the building.
Having finished the design I decided to add some greenery on the outside to help merge the surrounding of where it is situated in a park area in Aldgate Square. This means that the building goes well with its surroundings and this means that the idea of an industrial aesthetic in the mix of a park works well.
Research Zaha Hadid The Iraqi-British Zaha Hadid became famous for her intensely futuristic architecture characterized by curving façades, sharp angles, and severe materials such as concrete and steel. Hadid's projects, many of which transform depending on the viewer's perspective, turn architectural convention on its head.
Named after its address in New York, 520 West 28th Street is an 11-storey structure that includes 39 private residences and a number of luxury amenities. The building is wrapped in metallic ridges that join fluidly across the facade, and come out from the floor plates to form balconies and terraces with rounded edges.
"The facade conveys the attention to detail evident throughout 520 West 28th – brushed and tinted by hand to resonate with the adjacent structures of the High Line,"
Research Zaha Hadid Large floor-to-ceiling windows curve around the corners of the apartments, mirroring glass railings. I could replicate this design in my project as I would like to maximise on the sun path in my site and they way to get the best levels of light come through I believe from this research is floor to ceiling glass windows. It also enables the space to feel open which blends well with the rural country side that it is located in.
The interior of the space has shown how the space could be used if it was used as accommodation for living. The shape of the actual structure allowed the rooms to flow as shown on the sketches and plans on the left hand side. The centre of the building allows, the entrance, is a large space which gives a spacious look when you walk in. The shape of all Hadid’s designs are usually very organic and contemporary which meet my design very well. Many of her designs would be best situated in locations that are similar to my own.
Research Zaha Hadid This set of buildings are also designed by Zaha Hadid. The reason that I researched into this is because they clearly represent the idea that I want to design. Which is a housing accommodation. You can see that there is a row of houses all identical to one another. This design has explored the idea of stacked shapes, and this is something that I want to implement into my own design. I also like the idea of having an overhang of the first floor compared to the ground floor. This can act as an area protected from the rain where it also creates a shaded space for the summer timer where people can spend time outside. The plan view shows how the individual buildings align up with one another and fit together to make one set of flowing buildings.
Research Zaha Hadid The design of the Heydar Aliyev Center establishes a continuous, fluid relationship between its surrounding plaza and the building’s interior. The plaza, as the ground surface; accessible to all as part of Baku’s urban fabric, rises to enclose an equally public interior space and define a sequence of event spaces dedicated to the collective celebration of contemporary and traditional Azeri culture. The Heydar Aliyev Center hosts a variety of cultural programs, its design is a departure from the rigid and often monumental architecture of the former Soviet Union that is so prevalent in Baku, aspiring instead to express the sensibilities and diversity of Azeri culture.

Research Armani 5th Avenue The heart of the building is, in fact, epitomized by the staircase, a structure in rolled calendar steel, made in Italy, and clad in plastic material that highlights its sculptural presence, a component that is almost impossible to convey in terms of any normal geometric shape. This shape is organic and is
easily something that could be used to integrate a modern yet organic design to the interior of my design. However, I may need to make adjustments to the scale to make it functional in a home interior where it doesn’t take up too much space.

Research Copper Box
The Copper Box has 7,000 seats. It was used for handball preliminaries and modern pentathlon fencing during the Olympic Games, and for goalball during the Paralympic Games. The handball men's quarter-
finals, all semi-finals and both finals were held at the larger Basketball Arena. It was built in 2011. I decided to research into this because the material can be implemented into my contempary housing complex

Research Material For Primary research, I began by taking pictures of objects that were related to the theme that I chose. I went to an Industrial gym setting and took pictures of the ceiling structure which you can see has an industrial appeal to it. Despite just focusing on the general form of the material, I paid great attention to the details of the shapes and what effect they give. Having this primary research really helped me with my design as it gave me something to relate to and gain inspiration from when creating industrial designs.
Colour scheme
Research Material One of the main materials associated with an industrial aesthetic is steel. I decided to research how this material can be used and the purposes and functions it serves in multiple structures and objects. I researched into the different shapes formed by structural steel used in the supporting of large buildings. This has illustrated what both the function s and aesthetics of steel. I also took interest into the corrugated steel containers which have a very corrugated surface which could me implemented into the face of my design to give it that industrial aesthetic. Also juxtaposing maybe one wall from another wall. Finally to research how elements in a design can fit together I researched into cogs which gave me an understanding of how a space needs to flow and all fit together to make a whole design.
Research Primary
After having analyzed that my location is a rural site with a rural day object which could be analysed and developed into an innovative design that iterates the organic and natural setting of the location of the project. I sketched and developed on the shape of a pringle. This was a unique shape that allowed me to develop a pavilion which had a contemporary design and had a organic flow to the shape.
The curved shape would work well with the pavilion design as it would allow for water to flow directly of the top. This means that it serves a good purpose. I was also able to develop the pringle shape which enabled me to construct the design of a building structure. These two component could be put together to make a set of living space both indoor and outdoor. With the organic shapes it allows for the design to be well suited to the location of the project.
Research Isometric
As you can see from this sketch the shapes fit together well which allows it to be a creative source for my design.
Organic Shape Research Development
After having analysed the shape, I found it in context with the glass in a door and this shows how it can be used in terms of materials to be used.
Once having decided the material would be glass, I decided to sketch the design again giving it the context the look. After having seen this, you can see that it is a very organic design and has a modern touch which is something that will be copied through into the interior design. This is a front sketch of the design that I created after having sketched and developed on the shape research from above.

Development Organic Shape I finally researched into organic components which I could integrate into my space to give it the theme that I have chosen from the brief. The shapes that are sketched below really would help give my design a sense of scale and purpose. Both the shapes have an organic shape with the one on the left looking like a tree and the one on the right look like a mushroom. The shapes could be used a structural components of the space meaning that instead of using posts an organic looking alterative can be used. With the design on the mushroom look it could be used as a lighting feature as well to give a unique design to the space. With the design on right it could be used as a lighting feature to help give a unique design to the space. The gain of the design on the right is that it uses less space on the actual ground so more space can be used for the retail
Light can pass through the gap
Development Organic This shaped structure could also be used as a solar power unit within the space to power the residence with sustainable light. This helps the design to have a less of an impact on the local countryside and enables it to be better suited to its surroundings. I used the sketch above from my previous research and developed the shape and merged it with the model I had made
previously to design a form with an organic shape. This is a interior space that could be used centrally to the space. Allowing the space to be maximized whereby also light can be maximized and the view of the surrounding country park. The walls coming off the design both separate the lines the spaces within the interior of the building and allow for the space to all flow into one central space which could suit a central family living area. To serve the organic purpose I have also allowed as you can see from the SketchUp design on the left the feature of live shrubs to give that green open space that helps give an even more unique design.
Development Organic I decided to develop the previous design and make it more fit for purpose. I decided that the open space idea may not serve a greater purpose and that the structural design would work better allowing this to be turned into a secluded space within the house which allows for purposes like a study or living room which like on the sketchup model is hidden away by the rotating wall faces. This space was much more fit for purpose and was more aesthetically arranged compared to the previous designs.

Research Frank Lloyd Wright Fallingwater is a house designed by the architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1939 in the Laurel Highlands of southwest Pennsylvania. The house was built partly over a waterfall. This shows how Architecture can be used to make spaces in places that are extreme in rural settings. It also shows how a natural rural setting can set such a great tone for the entire architectural design of a project. I have also learnt that square shapes are very much appropriate for rural settings and don’t always need to be curved shapes. So I will continue to research similar designs.

Research Isometric Contemporary Design The scheme’s geometric and material consistency was inspired by the powerful roof forms and simple materials of Essex’s rural buildings. The development consists of 84 units across four building types; 5 Apartment buildings containing 6,7 or 8 flats each; 14 Villas; 29 Courtyard Houses and 7 Terraced Houses totaling 84 units, 26% of which are affordable. The Development is also highly sustainable. All housing types incorporate covered front porches, central stair halls, roof terraces, Juliette balconies and cathedral ceilings. Loft spaces either finished as bedrooms or can be retrofitted by homebuyers as workspaces, additional bedrooms or games rooms. Villas and Courtyard houses all have a ground floor study.
Research Isometric Contemporary Design The five accompanying apartment blocks each contain between six and eight homes and are positioned to maximize views. All buildings feature a prefabricated timber construction, with a materials palette of sandy brickwork, black-stained larch and slate roof tiles. The location that I have chosen also will need the apartments to have a great view and that’s something that could be implemented into the design.

Research Contemporary Housing In order to get a further understanding of spaces that serve a similar purpose to what I am going to be designing. This allows me to understand how different spaces work and indulge into different ways that I could lay my structure out. You can see that the design that I am researching into has many materials that make up the
exterior face. This gives the structure character and makes the space interesting instead of just having a plain concrete face. I also researched into the actual floor plan of the building to see how spaces like this are laid out.
Research Contemporary Housing You can see that the space is very open plan and utilises a lot of purpose out of a small amount of space. This could be one aspect that I could put into my design. Usually space like this has the entire central space used for the purpose of entry and landings. However, in this design they have two separate entrances giving the space a more secure feeling. It also allows for the layout to utilise the central space which they have used for an extra laundry. This really has a great impact on this design because it is only a small space so this really helps upgrade the layout and add that little more living space. You can also see from this research that the living space and the bedrooms are placed separately this is divided by the neutral spaces like the bathroom and the living room this give privacy and separate living spaces within the property. This is also going to be something that I implement into my design. Another idea I have taken that I could implement is the open space living accommodation because it gives an open and airy feel to a much smaller space.

This is the Straw Bale Café. It is fully insulated with hay bales giving it extremely good insulation. The design is very eco friendly and this means that it is designed out of material that do not cause harm to the environment. The main materials used to make this building are glass and metal for the framework this gives it the industrial aesthetic. The design has easy wheelchair access and has more than enough scope to have washroom facilities embedded into it. It also has the outdoor eating area already set up and has high potential for even a balcony on the top. Making it useful for the summer time.
Research Contemporary Housing
Research Contemporary Housing Some of the models I made were pieces of triangular shapes that over-laped creating an isometric shape which I have tried work into my space that I have created. After further experimenting with my models I was able to develop a conceptional idea which experimented with the natural lights levels in the space. The sun rises in the east and sets in west. So I have designed the building to gather maximum natural light in the bedrooms in the morning and for the natural light to make its way to living room as the day progresses though the glass panels situated on the roof.

Development Isometric Model After having analyed the development of the shapes on the left, I was able to develop the basic models into
a idea which has a contemporary theme to meet my design brief. This property allows lots of light into the building which really enables the user to maximise on the location. The glass on the front and the back allows the building to not be apposed to its surroundings it allows the building to flow. It also allows for the user to be able to see straight through the house which leads on to the country park to backing onto the rear of the space. I also decided that in order to make the space practical it need more space on the upper floor. Therefore, I decided to do a square extension suspended on just the 1st floor. This juxtaposes to the rest of the design as it is made or a different shapes than the other two components.
Isometric Model Development
Research Contemporary Housing
After having developed my original ideas from before I have managed to design a CAD model. I gave the shape a irregular shape with windows that aren’t just you regular square shape. This CAD design has enabled the ability to see how the space works in context to objects and how the different components work together to make the entire space. I also decided to make adjustments to the glass windows on the front. I added extra windows to allow light into spaces where it would be needed on the inside.
CAD Model Design
Research Contemporary Housing The front façade of the model was originally just flat but after having analysed it and having looked back the primary research on the isometric shaped glass I decided to make the façade of the front of the house more interesting. This enabled the design to have more depth and this feature wall attracted the viewers eye straight to that particular side of the property whereby the entrance is situated.

The design of the building means that from the front it looks just like a barn hiding the actual contemporary design.
Worlds Barn
Research Contemporary Housing Built using a concrete frame with durable cladding, Barrow House(Wolds Barn) in North East Lincolnshire was designed by ID Architects in Grimsby and constructed by Belvin Construction in Nettleham, after being commissioned in 2016 and completed three years later. The property won the grand final at the 2019 LABC Building
Excellence Awards, and is now a candidate for House of the Year on Channel 4’s hit television show Grand Designs. The property is the answer to the question posed of whether contemporary architecture is suitable in a rural setting. This house enables a contemporary building to be situated in a rural setting of the Lincolnshire Wolds Area. The idea around this project was to have a barn on and above ground level which is made of a similar red wood as the surrounding buildings to help merge this this design with its setting and surrounding locations. So this has enabled the visible build to compliment the other buildings around it. The contemporary design has been hidden away from view and falls under the barn and extends outwards to make the space to also make the space functional and purposeful. This enables the residence to enjoy a contemporary setting whilst being hidden into a rural setting. This also has enabled them to use more glass giving them an uninterrupted view of the woods. The ideas of using an entire elevation of a property as glass enables natural light to be maximised. The window is also facing south facing that has enabled them to maximise the time of natural sunlight and also have even amounts of sunlight through out the day. So they have avoided having sunlight only in particular hours like the Morning and Evening.
Research Kendram Turf House
KENDRAM TURF HOUSE ON THE ISLE OF SKYE
Research Contemporary Housing The design of this house is startlingly modern when compared to the traditional houses on Skye yet somewhat in contradiction far better blends in to the natural landscape. We’re used to seeing modern houses being bold and ostentatious – showing off their cantilevered sections as if they were trying to compensate for something – and yet the Kendram Turf House’s bold lines actually serve a purpose. The coffin shaped house tapers towards the sea so that the strong winds that batter the Scottish island hit a smaller surface area. The house in effect acts like an arrow head aerodynamically cutting into the wind.

Research Contemporary Housing After having analysed isometric design and he previous two developments I researched I managed to design an isometric building which serves for the purpose. I designed it using the ideas of stacked isometric shapes. This allows for maximum space especially on the ground floor. I decided to use fibreboard for my model because it was a strong structure and gave the texture of wood. Which is one of the materials my space may be designed with. This allows it to be made out of more sustainable material. I also decide to overhand the second upper square structure as it gives shade to the mainly glass wall that is situated underneath it. This allows for a great view of the location of weald park. However, it stop heat from the sun coming in keeping the building cooler in the summer time. It also has glass all around which maxims the use of the sunlight path that I had analysed previously.
Final Design CAD Finally, to finish my development stage I decided to make a cad model of my final design. This allowed me to have a better understanding of how the space could be used and how it could be utilised the most. This allowed me to design this in order to maximise on the actual rural location. I took some inspiration from the Wolds Barn which hides the design by integrating it will the surrounding rural setting. I decided to drop the majority of my design into the hill. This means that the it doesn’t ruin the rural aspect of the country side making this contemporary design appropriate for the rural setting. This shows that rural settings can accommodate contemporary architecture. Also, more importantly that contemporary architecture is appropriate in a rural setting. The entire project is made through a timber frame and not a concrete on. This means that it is made up of more organic materials which links with the contemporary design which is to use organic renewable sources of materials for the build. This idea could be used as inspiration for the rural contemporary architecture of the future.
