Is it possible to redesign a concrete structure in engineered timber, whilst both retaining predominantly glazed façades, and vastly improving the climatic responsiveness of the building?

1.3 1.4

Redesign structure in engineered timber, maintaining current programme, but capitalising on potential to design for office users Maintain ratio of glazed-to-unglazed, but design facade to minimise cold-bridging and excessive heat-loss Design a structure with an open floor-plan using engineered timber, thereby improving the efficiency of the load-bearing elements, and creating a more aesthetically-pleasing internal environment Emphasise the linearity of streetscape by retaining the first floor cantilevered element Redesign the structure and main facade to better utilise the climatic characteristics of Rotterdam

Key Design Aspects

There are equal intensities of wind from both North and South. Opposing wind paths could inspire natural ventilation methods

Key Issues

The structural build-up can easily be read Geometry of building follows angled grid of streetscape Fully glazed façades = 360° views across Rotterdam

•

Key Objectives

Analysis of the Existing Structure Glazed façades = multiple cold bridges Direct solar intake with minimal shading abilities Shading devices inhibit direct views out Column layout is irregular; core is offcentre and columns sit right up to facade Inefficient use of concrete within the structure Cross ventilation used to cool entire structure Heavy reliance on mechanical systems in winter

Materiality Research Second-hand Materials / Material Re-use Shipping pallets are not sufficient enough to act as load-bearing elements. If utilised nonstructurally on façades = interesting aesthetic quality. Charring wood = impervious to moisture; reducing the amount of required maintenance

Introvert Character:

No Vertical Relationships (One-dimensional Viewing):

- Boschstraat facade reads as continuous form; no breaks

- No voids; changing column width cannot be viewed when inside

Continuation of Stepping Facade:

Strong Vertical Relationships (Multi-dimensional Viewing):

- Addition of built form on roof continues existing stepped profile

- Incorporation of voids; column layout & structure easily recognised

Near (4) - Hand-made massing models showing the initial iterative design process and key evaluations Opposite Near - Photoshopped image of an initial hand-made model, illustrating a potential connection of typologies between different floor levels Mid (3) - A series of hand-made scale models, testing the capabilities of above and below ground spatial configurations Far (6) - Progression of built-form through the analysis and evaluation of physical models

Removal of key corner; pedestrian access into site

Reduction in storey heights; creation of central courtyard

Key line-of-sight created; St. Enoch Square into schemeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s courtyard

Site opens to pedestrianed street, remains built up along main traffic route; inhibiting acoustic spread

Addition of taller element at main street junction, marks entry into scheme

Inclusion of light chimneys emphasises the verticality of existing contextual architecture

External volumes increased in size; reinforces sense of enclosure within courtyard

Large open courtyard receives direct south light

01

- Primary axis of built form follows existing roadway - Height increases with proximity to roadway to inhibit acoustic transfer

03

- Roof height lowered; allows direct sunlight onto pavement - Transparent pavilion provides pedestrians with views into central courtyard

02

- Roof height raised to further enclose central courtyard - Lightwells formed by removing mass from primary form and standing it at regular intervals

04

- Rhythm of elevation evolved to work on a dual-axis layout; - repetition along the plane of the roadway - stepping back to break up the primary facade

Direct light - enhances growing capabilities of herbs Full-height chimney - provides tangible connection to sky whilst remaining embraced by the earth in the basement spa facility 05

- Rhythm of elevation evolved to include both pavilions - All stepped-back chimneys create private gardens

06

- Hollow aluminium beams (containing ducting) create opaque cappings to eastern pavilion - Verticality of main elevation continues on eastern facade; a single vertical plane matches the silhouette of a light chimney
