South Port Life Saving Club

South Port Life Saving Club Designed by Hizkia Irwanto Gouw HDINTD 311Interior Design Studio- Sustainable Design Lecturer : Val Austin Hizkia Irwanto Gouw 6536514

Based on the aesthetic of timber architecture, the design works conventional materials and simple forms into a building that addresses the needs of modern living. It is designed to fulfill all the criteria to become a comprehensive life saving club house. Moreover, recognizing the limited nature of natural resources, the south port life saving club is designed to minimize the impact on its location and also to use a little energy and as many recycle materials as possible.

Site Plan

View to the beach, and beaconsfield parade

The site is at Beaconsfield Parade in Port Phillip. It just located few kilometres from City. There is a residential area just in front of the beach. The site also beside a children playground, which means in certain time, especially in school holiday, it will be many people there. The traffic also quite crowded, as it is a main road. Moreover, the beach has flat topography, which is a perfect conditions for recretional swimming, kitesurfing, windsurfing, sailing, boating, scuba diving, and other Site Plan

sports. Other factors, that makes it quite crowded, is that the site will be near the port of Spirit of Tasmania.

This table 1 showed the annual average temperature and rainfall in Port Phillip. It also showed from spring, summer, autumn, until winter. The annual average temperature is about 13.5 C. However in hot summer it can be 24.7 C and in the cold winter it can be 4.6 C. So, it have a huge different between summer and winter.

In addition, in table 2 is showing what will be happen to temperature in 2030 and 2070, it’s been predicted that the temperature will be warmer dramatically So, it will be better for the new building or house in Port Phillip to use the right material to solve this problem. Moreover, the annual average rainfall is about 864 mm.

In summer, it can less than 166 mm, which is shows the area is quite dry in the summer.

Thus, it is a good way to use passive cooling system in order to reduce the temperature inside the house.

Cross ventilation could also be a good solution. In addition it is useful to put insulation in the block the cold breezes, to make house more comfortable in winter.

people usually used for their activities. In this plan it is obviously seen, that almost all activities are using areainfront of the playground. It iis due to the sand in the left of the South Melbourne life saving club is topped by grass, which makes the sand not really smooth, and bumpy. So from this diagram, it gives sort of idea, where is the best place for the South Port Live Saving Club. It should be between the old South Melbourne Live Saving Club and children playground, so the patrol administration, can see clearly what activities that happen at the beach

From these two diagrams, it seems that both of the proposed site are having some advantages and also disadvantages. It is due to that the cold breezes and hot wind that could through the the building almost in the same direction. Both of the site will get much cold breeze to the west part, which is could be benefit in summer, when the weather is very hot. So, maximising the cros ventilation will be a good idea. Moreover, both of them also could get direct hot wind, as there are no building that will block it. One solution for this will be to maximize the use of adjustable window or ventilation.

Thus, although both of the sites have similar condition regarding to wind, when we consider another aspects of the site (ex. activities), the site that locate just behind the playground will be the best choice. As in there, more activities that happen, and the sand in that area is more smooth and clean compare to the other site.

The concept of this plan is to make a house that blend wit the beach, so when people looks outside the building, they already feel they are in the middle of th beach. Moreover, the strong different design floor plan between ground level and second level, gives a unique building look. In addition, the second floor is much bigger area than the ground floor, so it looks like a floating second floor,

The initial concept of this design plan is to combine three separate buildings into one. It gives a unique form, as the three buildings have a different area and height. Moreover, the buidling basically used simple 7

shapes, such as square and rectangle, as it could show the minimalism. In addition, the floor plan design 8

comes from overlapping the shape, which give a strong relationship between the areas.

6 Moreover, the building will be made of two levels. The main entrance will be at the middle part and there 7

will be a separated pathway which will link the east and the west of the building. The first level of the east

purposes. Furthermore, the cafe and kiosk will be located in the second level in the west part. So the guest will get a good view of the beach. There will be a huge deck, such as a bridge, to connect the cafe

10

to the east part. The deck will be a good place for people to gather, as it could be the main circulation.

13

Furthermore, the east part will be mainly for members, as there will be “members only area�, kitchen, uniform store, changing rooms and toilets, secretaries office, and patrol administration and observation

After i developed my preferred floor plan, i tried to make a construction model, so i know if my model could be constructed and where the foundation will be.It gives the relation to the site, which is quite challenging, as it is in the sand. By using this model, it also gives more possibilities that i could develop in the next design process.
