BIG WEST HOUSE TUTORS: NIGEL BERTRAM in collaboration with TORAFU & NMBW In 2015 students of Monash University raised awareness for homeless women through the construction of the BIG WEST HOUSE, which formed the central core for the BIG WEST FESTIVAL. This design-make studio, in collaboration with Victoria University, NMBW and TORAFU Architects, involved both the construction of the house and design of furniture installations. Focusing on WINDOW SPACES, three items were designed: The Windows Extension, Garden Seats and Dormer Window Hammock. The extension and garden seats were influenced by mashrabiya perforations and aimed to provide extra space in the house and also diffuse direct light. Located in the Domer window, the convertible hammock made use of otherwise unusable space whilst also creating shelter for the top level of the house.

RE-THINK TUTORS: SEAN McMAHON This task required the redesign of Monash University’s business and accounting building, in order to increase environmental sustainability and user comfort. The main modification strategy comprised of the quasi-crystalline double layer facade, which absorbed pollution from the main road using titanium dioxide and diffused harsh north-western light. With key concerns of natural ventilation, light and heating, other formal modifications included a central light-well and deep balconies, as well as an array of built in technologies in order to make the building more sustainable.
7
OUTER FACADE LAYER
Creates shade and is arranged according to the facades - coated in titanium oxide which absorbs pollution from the cars
DIFFUSE FACADE LAYER
Layer of translucent materials to diffuse the light thatis filered into the building
FACADE STRUCTURE
Vertical and horizontal beam structure to hold the facade on
VENTS
To allow for ventilation and purging of hot air at night
SOLAR PANELS
Fixed panels on the roof used to produce energy for the building
VERTICAL GARDEN
Filtering water and absorbing pollution
EXTENDED FLOOR SPACE
Creates more internal space and activates outdoor areas on west
DEEP BALCONIES
comfortable shared outdoor spaces on North facade letting light reach deeper
SOUTH EXTENSIONS
Making up for space taken by balconies and connecting to existing courtyard
AMENITIES CORE
stacked toilets and lifts in the corner to encourage central circulation / efficiency
CENTRAL STAIRS
Centralise circulation at light well to encourgae use of stairs
OPEN FLOOR
More efficient use of internal space allowing light in
STRUCTURE
Frames structure to hol panels in light well
LIGHT WELL
To allow light into the cenre of the building panels applied to direct light in and block direct sunlight

METAMORPHSIS TUTORS: ALYSIA BENNETT Investigating the notion of materialisation of an architectural idea, the brief for this project asked for a ‘6-pack’ community of apartments that is able to adapt over time to suit various clients. Informed by the verb ‘to NEST’, the individual apartment comprises of various forms clustered within a polycarbonate shell highlighting the use of negative/positive spaces, light and void. Extending the development of the verb on a larger scale involved the customised contouring of spaces into the site, in conjunction with a central wetlands space for sustainable water management, in order to create a connected community.

DRUNKEN SAILOR TUTORS: HANNES McNAMARA & DANIEL YUSKO With the aim of activating and bringing new life to the Docklands Wharf, a multi-purpose community centre was designed incorporating local small businesses including a gallery, ferry kiosk and men’s shed for boat builders. Inspired by the heritage of boat docking stations along the wharf and the movement of water, spaces have been created using large cylindrical forms pierced by structural columns, wrapped by a skin of wavering wooden louvres. Extending on the existing boardwalk the forms encourage movement and flow throughout the complex, with discrete but natural circulation at the forefront of the design.
