PROJECT

01

SMALL HOUSE

Small inner-city town house restricted to seven metres in height and seven metres wide.

This project helped to familiarise myself with the architectural, spatial and functional design requirements of residential activities and spaces.

The building is designed to fit within a 7 metre square cube using timber framed construction and designed to the requirements of NZS3604.

With the spacial limitations given by the brief I have designed a two bedroom inner-city town house for a young professional couple. The exterior impression gives a solid visual impact created by the use of materials and simple placement of claddings and windows.

THE EXPERIENCE

HALLWAY

KITCHEN

FOYER

As the client brings his bike inside from a long day at work entering through the large pivoting front door, he puts his coat on the hanger and his bike next to that on the wall mounted rack. He takes off his shoes and tucks them away under the mud area bench and takes a few steps to the sofa to unwind from his busy day.

Downstairs is an open plan kitchen and living area for entertaining guests. As you enter through the front door you are greeted by the staircase that leads you upstairs to the bedrooms, bathroom, laundry and office nook. All space is utilised to create a comfortable and spacious environment, this is done by using staggering floor levels on the ground floor and raking ceilings on the first floor to give higher ceiling heights.

PROJECT CLIFTON HILL

02

The challenge faced was to design a structure that would appear to grow out of the hill and sit gently on top of it.

This project is located on Clifton Hill in Sumner, Christchurch. The house is sited on a steep north-east facing slope overlooking the Sumner township and beach. The house has been sunken in to the hill to create an overall nonobtrusive low lying effect. There are two main wings to the building that are angled to maximise capturing the sun at certain points of the day. As the site faces the east, it loses sun early in the afternoon. The guest wing is placed lower on the site and captures morning and all day sun. The master bedroom and living areas wing captures the sun from rising until it dissapears over the west face of Clifton Hill.

09

GROUND FLOOR PLAN All bedroom and living areas are placed on the north side to maximise sunlight entry in to the house. The building is approached from Panorama Street which sits below the site on the north face.

As you come up the driveway you are lead around

FIRST FLOOR PLAN the back of the house where the garage and front entry is situated. Walking through the front door you are faced with a beautiful frameless view of Sumner Bay. The ground floor accomodates the kitchen, living, dining, guest bedroom wing

and garage. Upstairs includes the master suite, office, second living area and entertaining deck to capture the afternoon sun.

LIVING

UNDERSTANDING RESIDENTIAL SPACES Analyse and create inhabited architectural form and space including functional design requirements for residential activities.

For this project we were asked to research into detailed design and present our own architectural details. The windows of this project were analysed in particular. I wanted to create a seamless view of the outside surroundings as if you were not closed inside a house. To do this I created negative details around the window framing to hide the frame from the inside so that each window became a seamless unobstructed picture frame. Every threshold between internal and external spaces have been designed to be level entry by lowering the window framing and adding fixed decking level with the internal flooring. I had a lot of fun researching and experimenting in to how these details could work and be made more architecturally visually appealing in comparison to standard details.

TE WHAREORA

Is a new science and well-being facility recently completed on CPIT campus.

Part 1 required investigation of possibly converting the building into Student Accommodation.

This project required preliminary design proposals suitable for presentation to a management team. The building structure and external fabric had to remain and be re-used where ever possible however new structure was allowed to be added wherever required. Economic viability of materials and changes made were also taken in to consideration.

provide an ensuite, kitchen, study area, storage space. For those who like a flatting environment there is the option for 2 or 4 bedroom flats that both provide large kitchens, bathrooms and living areas. All bedrooms allow for natural ventilation as they are all faced towards the external perimeter.

The building accommodates for 61 bedrooms. There is a mixture of living arrangements to suit different needs and styles of living. There are rooms which are simply just a room that join to a secure hallway with communal services. There are also self contained units which are situated on the highest floor to provide extra security and privacy and are given their own balcony space and landscaped area, these units

The Te Whareora student accommodation building also provides a restaurant, food court, existing gym which was required to be left and a laneway that runs from east to west to connect these spaces and also help the direction of pedestrian flow through the building.

LEARNING CENTRE AND WORKSHOPS

CROSS SECTION 1

The learning centre is located on the west edge of the museum and is a separate volume which is simplistic in form and helps to connect the building to the rest of the CPIT campus. From the west face the separate facility covers the deconstructivist aesthetic which is hidden behind. The courtyard is also on the west side and could be used by all of the public but would be ideal for students and staff to have a large area of sheltered green space which the campus is currently lacking.

The view of the buildings exterior leads the eye in many directions such as to the south towards the stunning views of the Port Hills and north towards the Bascilica. The size of the museum is appropriate to the large scale of the surrounding environment which consists of large busy roads, tall classroom blocks and the grandious Christchurch Bascilica.

CROSS SECTION 2

The Christchurch Museum of Modern Arts building is a design proposal for a new public attraction for the city. The arts building is an experimentation of geometrical forms. Intersecting angles act to diffuse an exterior presence and shape the buildings interior spaces to create diverse and flexible exhibition spaces for art to be displayed and enjoyed.

The museum is a permanent institution in the service of society and of its development, and open to the public, which acquires, conserves, researches communicates and exhibits for purposes of study, education and enjoyment, material evidence of people and their environment.

The arts building includes three stories of open exhibition space to be altered to suit the collection of artworks being exhibited. Large geometrical volumes intersect to create angled off interior spaces within a large area where temporary wall systems can be put in place to give flexibility to the exhibition spaces.

STREETSCAPE The street scape works well to bring a lot of motor vehiclists around this space but is not good for attracting pedestrians and cyclists as the road layout around this part of the site is extremely dangerous in the state that it is now. The site sits on the corner of a very busy intersection and is on the opposite side to the over bridge. Pedestrian and cyclists interaction has been taken into consideration during the design process. Actions such as adding a pedestrian crossing, cycleways, medians, speed bumps, and landscaped bays for short term carparking could help to reduce the speed of this intersection. The building is set back from the road to allow for landscaping and gives the street a feeling of open space to breath in this busy space.

URBAN DESIGN

PROJECT

05

TIMARU, PORT DEVELOPMENT Using urban design to create a walkable city in Timaru. The design group worked on Timaru’s port area specifically to develop.

PROJECT

06

Through analysis, identifying issues and case studies we were able to propose ideas for the development area that would enhance the area of Caroline Bay and the Port. This would help connect the areas with other main key areas focused on to create a walkable city.

RICCARTON AREA This report describes and illustrates a spatial framework for Riccarton Area.

This framework sets out the urban design, public realm and architectural principles for the site. Our development approach specifically focuses on an identified stretch of Riccarton Road.

This project was delivered as a class to the Timaru Council and the response was successful as they have chosen to implement selected ideas further.

After analysing the issues around this area we identified key issues in which we wanted to resolve within this project and came up with our key objectives.

• CREATE AN ACTIVE SHOPPING SPACE/EXPERIENCE FOR PEDESTRIANS • ENHANCE ACCESS TO AMENITIES AND CREATE QUALITY SHOPPING ATTRACTIONS • STRENGTHEN THE CHARACTER, VIBRANCY AND SENSE OF PLACES • FIX MOVEMENT AREAS TO IMPROVE ACCESS AND SAFETY FOR PEDESTRIANS

THE WORKSHOP The concept for this design was to create a centre to celebrate the lost arts and crafts of fretwork.

VIEWING AREA

GALLERY

This area is intended to be an open and flexible space for small class workshops to be perfomed seperated and sound proofed from the workshop noise.

The history and installations about fretwork and local historical villas in the area is displayed along the walls to inspire, educate and provide activity.

WORKSHOP The workshop is a large open space which allows for flexible layouts for machinery and workspace where fretwork can be created.

A smaller hand tools area provides a space for beginners to learn the art and host small worshop classes.

RECEPTION Visitors will need to sign in and be given a briefing in regards to site health and safety. This small area provides customer service, storage and access.

The concept for this design was to create a centre to celebrate the lost arts and crafts of fretwork. Fretwork is found on Villas and Bungalows and in particular to this site this area has many historical villas in close proximity.

The site encompasses a gallery and learning centre for public to come and learn about historical local villas and the art of fretwork. A workshop provides space for fretwork to be made as well as areas for the general public to have a go at designing and creating their own hand crafted pieces.

The mixture of diverse flexible spaces creates a hive of activity which will buzz in its residential/light shopping location.

This project introduced us to the benefits of designing using complex timber structures and engineered timber construction methods. This along with exploration of spatial, structural, and enclosure systems influenced the design decisions made.

19

SPATIAL DESIGN

The programme of the building is determined by the brief which is that the building is to be a lost arts & crafts learning center. A facility to learn, showcase and bring back lost crafts.

Due to the location of the building having two diverse frontage environments I have decided that the best face to attract visitors would be from the busy Colombo Street face where a small narrow frontage creates an entrance through the gallery space.

The workshop facade is located on the quieter Somerfield St using a large open plan workshop allows itself to be opened up completely to the street and is more easily accessable and practical for moving in large machinery, crafts and deliveries. The open plan design is used to as it will allow for a flexible layout.

Sculptural display garden to enhance the spatial qualities and entrance of experiencing the gallery and workshop.

At the gallery entrance the viewer is faced by a contemporary facade referencing the lost art of fretwork.

At the end of the narrow gallery steps lead in to a lowered space. A glass wall seperated the two spaces so that the public can view the artists crafting away in the workshop.

The front facade faces north west and is fully glazed with sun louvres to provide efficient natural lighting. Angled glazing on the sides allows sunlight at all times of the day.

The reception for the workshop business can be entered from off street access. The site includes a driveway to back of site parking which allows for clients or contractors.

CENTRAL LIBRARY The new central library is one of the anchor projects in the recovery plan for the city of Christchurch after the damaging earthquakes in 2011.

Located within the convention precinct the new building will be a social community hub and an important civic space that will attract people back into the central city and create a social gathering point in the rebuilt city.

Visitors first discover the library sitting quiety back from the river’s edge. Respectful of the setbacks, it refrains from overshadowing its surroundings to create an urban edge for people to interact and enjoy.

The new library has the potential to increase the activity and vibrancy around Victoria Square and the Avon River edge as well as strengthen the connection between key civic spaces like Victoria Square and Cathedral Square. The proposals aim is to activate, to encapsulate and to communicate the visual connection between the library and its immediate surroundings.

Designed to embrace interaction and diversity, creating opportunities for new ways of learning in an informal enviroment.

It will become the city’s hub for knowledge, heritage resources, creative workshops, recreational reading and listening, an integral part of the city. It will develop a strong community, a place where cultural diversity is celebrated and citizens are engaged, inspired and informed.

SITE ANALYSIS Selected to replace original earthquake damaged public central city library.

LOCATION Intent to re-orientate site to face along Oxford Tce instead of the current Gloucester St entrance and expand and encompass other sites to facilitate a larger central library needed. The site is now situated in the Convention Centre Precinct following the release of the Canterbury Recovery Plan.

SURROUNDING CONTEXT The site is surrounded by many destinations and attractions in Christchurch such as Victoria Square and Cathedral Square. This creates a great opportunity to link the sites surroundings and attractions by directly connecting pedestrians to and through the site from the neighbouring areas.

CLIMATE The site is very eposed to the climatic conditions due to its bare surroundings. In summer the building will recieve lots of sunlight to the west face and in result sun shading has been added. The building form helps to create BIRDS EYE VIEW OF SITE

SPATIAL DESIGN The open floor platforms and double height atrium is the new building’s unifying element. Located at the ground and first level, the atrium is designed as a central hub for activity to stream from. Accessible from all sides, the ground floor will provide spaces for a cafe, theatre, reading and relaxing, exhibition space and spaces for informal meeting and gathering. Stairs and mezzanines in the entry foyer on the north and south end of the building connect the upper levels.

recycled and recylable materials. Like the building, finishes and furnishings were also selected to keep materials and toxins out of the waste stream.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY Use of automated building systems can further optimize conservation by tracking performance, monitoring usage trends and minimizing wasteful operation. LED systems and occupancy sensors for lighting have also been added to reduce energy consumption. Additional sustainable ventilation approaches such as automated opening windows to allow for natural ventilation when possible.
