ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO 2024 - HO TRAN NHAT QUANG

INTRODUCTION

As an architect with six years of professional experience, I have consistently engaged in the design and development of diverse projects ranging from commercial buildings, high-rise office, apartments, to private villas. My involvement extends beyond multiple design phases, from initial schematic design through to shop drawing. This broadness of experience has enriched me with a solid foundation capable of adeptly addressing a multitude of challenges inherent in both the design and construction processes.

Moreover, my experience in various professional environments has emphasized the importance of collaboration and coordination. These competencies are essential for fostering collaboration between various teams and consultants, which makes it easier to deliver projects smoothly and to their full potential. I strongly believe I can use these abilities to my advantage to achieve a project goal efficiently.

NOTE

The podium of the office is fully covered by natural marble stone - Rosa Light which is polished yellow, creating an elegant exterior that attracts and impresses the clients and people on the street. Yellow faux sand paint is used for making a rugged tower facade, which helps to create a clear contrast between two different finishing materials; however, the yellow tone plays a role in the transition between the two parts of the building.

To install the round marble column, the contractor decided to divide the circle into three equal angles (120 degree). Hanging marble for column shaft and captial was the most difficult task that took a lot of time and physicall demanding due to heavy weight of each marble slab measuring 1920x838x50mm, approximately 210 kilograms.

STRENGTHS

The project is planned to be built in a high-density suburban district, where it might take 15 minutes to walk to the mall.

The project is located on a highway that can serve a high density of traffic commutes from Tan Binh district and Long An province.

WEAKNESS

The highway is the main route for heavy-duty vehicle commutes from industrial parks to the city, which affect the surrounding environment due to noise and gas emissions.

OPPURTUINITIES

The site location is in a new urban planning area where many new commercial buildings, residential areas, and high-rise apartments are planned to be constructed. The mall will make a substantial contribution to supply for the surrounding citizens.

The highway is planned to expand its width to 60 meters, build a metro line, and upgrade public transport such as buses and taxis, helping people travel to the mall faster and with more convenience.

THREATS

Many mixed-use buildings will become a competition in the supply chain in the future.

The north-east facade is exposed to strong sunlight from 7AM to 11AM for 4 hours, leading to high heat conduction from outdoor to indoor due to high solar heat radiation. The solution for this problem is a double-skin facade that is made of low-heat conduction and able to block UV radiation. In addition, the installation of solar panel systems for building roofs and parking roofs is another solution to prevent solar heat radiation and also helps to optimize energy consumption.

HUE-17NK VILLA

The 15-year-old house has experienced a severe weather condition in Hue City (middle of Vietnam), leading to considerable damage to the interior and exterior render. Another problem is that the owner has health issues that cannot usually use the staircase. In addition, the facade of the houses was designed in Neo-Classical language that did not fit the new lifestyle of the owner.

New land lot

Knock down Expand

The project is located in a small street, 6m wide. Surrounding areas are 2 to 3 floors townhouses.

After evaluating the cost factor, earth condition, existing structure system and surrounding houses, we decide to keep and demolish several old beams and columns so that we can optimize the space functionally.

In the summer soltice, the south-east facade endures the solar heat for 6 hours, from 7:00AM to 1PM. When winter soltice occurs, the south-east face experiences solar heat for 3 hours from 8:00AM to 11:00AM.

The back side of the house endures the solar heat for 6 hours, from 2:00PM to 5:00PM in the summer soltice. When winter soltice occurs, the south-east face experiences solar heat for 3 hours from 8:00 AM to 11:00AM.

Extend the balcony to the boundary line

Due to high radiation and solar heat from the sun, we came up with the solution of extending the cantilever balcony to shade the below-floor.

COMMERCIAL BUILDING CULTURAL BUILDING

DIAGRAM 01:

The project site, located on the Huong Riverside, has several considerable advantages in the natural landscape. The first benefit is that the site location provides a wide scenic view of the north side of the Huong River, the Phu Xuan Bridge, and many tourist attractions. Another significant upside of these land lots is that they do not have any surrounding high-rise buildings, which create a wide space along the Huong River to get prevailing wind from the southeast.

STRENGTH: WEAKNESS

The building is seriously restricted to a building height over 40 meters due to the Huong River reservation law. Moreover, flooding might be an unexpected issue affecting the material of the building.

OPPURTUINITY

There are a vast number of heritage hotels and tourist attractions helping to draw attention to local people and travelers to the club, leading to increased job opportunities for the local people. In addition, the club is a place to change the traditional lifestyle of Hue people.

THREAT

The weather is hot and humid, which is a significant challenge in choosing a sustainable material. Another serious downside of this area is that flooding might occur during the rainy season.

The design location is next to Ly Tu Trong park which have diverse and abundance of tree and having a wide view to Huong river and many heritage buildings in the north side of Hue city

DIAGRAM 02:

An erection of building in this area will block small part of pedestrian on Le Loi street to Huong river. A slight slope roof is a solutiion to make a direct route to Ly Tu Trong park to provude a higher and wider view for pedestrian.

DIAGRAM 03:

The roof is extended and curved to create a smooth connection to the park, becoming a playground where people do many activities such as communication, sunbathing, and reading books, to mention but a few.

DIAGRAM 04:

The facade is covered by a glazing panel to ensure the view of occupants. Moreover, we install various rooftop openings to optimize natural ventilation for the whole indoor space.

The sun simulation at different times during the summer soltice shows that the sunlight is blocked entirely by the roof from sunrise 6:00AM to sunset 5:00PM.This is a significant upside of the roof function; however; several roof openings are provided in some rooms and public spaces to get natural sunlight. Moreover, the roof openings will help to create a good air flow that the indoor space gets from the prevailing wind and also exhaust hot air from the indoor activities of occupants. The grass is planted on the whole roof in order to reduce heat absorption from the sun and absorb UV radiation that affects people’s health. Beside that, this plant will help to prevent a great amount of water from falling on the whole roof area.

Regarding the facade, glazing panels are installed on the front side of the building that the occupants can enjoy the poetic beauty of the Huong River and the many heritage buildings on the north side of Hue City.
