Martin Pace is a focus for public life: it is a plaza and space for public events. It is the host to a number of public events and is close to cultural “art lanes” that surround the area. Martin Place is a “room” within the city of Sydney, but it fails to attract a sense of public liveliness. The aim of this project is to bring people into Martin Place throughout the year. An art gallery and restaurant, along with the creation of public plazas and places of pause along Martin Place, will aim to bring people to the site past 9-5 business trading hours. The provision of public gallery space

that amalgamates the activities that already occur in the area into one point of reference aims to allow Martin Place to be the start of an exploration of the greater Sydney area. Also, Martin Place is home to a mix of high and low income earning professions. Due to high land and rent prices in the area, low income earners are forced to live long distances from work. Provision of affordable housing aims to move low income workers closer to their jobs.

We, as a human race are growing in numbers on this planet but the land on which we cultivate food is diminishing. One of the major reasons is climate change. Also, as a privileged society we tend to import exotic food, waste food resulting impact on climate change. The commerce behind the food supply is huge and has a social, economic and environmental impact. One solution is vertical farming, where food production in an urban context can address these issues at hand. A solution where food is grown in a commercial district and is supplied to local markets and particularly to neighbouring fine dine restaurants. The project aims to tie commercial offices and commerce of urban farming in a high rise to achieve self-sufficiency through environmentally sustainable systems.
The project offers a new image for Sydney’s Central business district. An open-air market is designed and further influenced by connecting and activating lane-ways in the circular quay precinct. Two stepping masses rise around the market providing commercial office spaces engaging with growing and eating spaces. The offices and the farm are two zones in the building, governed by its respective needs. The farms have natural light for hydroponic growing spaces and shared meeting spaces. Environmentally, glass provides a degree of protection from the wind, but allows for the natural ventilation for farming. Each village accommodates its own closed-loop water filtration system, while waste from the plant cuttings is harvested to a fuel biogas anaerobic digestion plant, providing an energy supply for the building.

Matraville 1943
Matraville 2011
The mapping exercise of Matraville helped shape the idea of reflecting on the history and landscape of Matraville. The built environment on the eastern side of bunnerong road has developed less than the west. This is the dominating factor guiding the ideology of the design for the library. About 70 years ago, the suburb of Matraville had massive sand hills. These sand hills were manually shifted to make room for residential construction for the soldiers of the war.
Proposed Figure Ground
The thought behind the design process was to leave the site as it is and submerge the building into the earth, leaving minimum or no figure ground. The idea of a sunken courtyard comes from the precedent study of the national library of France in Paris. This gives the patron of the Library a chance to get away from the outer world, get submerged into the world of knowledge and the open courtyard in the middle acting as an oculus from where the knowledge is coming into the building.

The rapidly expanding city of Phnom Penh is proposing a new bridge across the Mekong river, making a previously hard to reach area easily accessible. This will allow the city to continue its rapid urban sprawl into this new area, displacing current outlying villages and slums that are currently in the area. Because of this, a NGO has bought a plot of land to secure permanent housing for some of the soon-to-be-displaced Cambodians. They are looking to create a self-sufficient community for 10-15 of these families on this block of land. This brief looks to clearly outline what has been asked for and what will be required in designing
this village as well as an overarching goal for the site and for its inhabitants. The approach towards the project is one of synthesizing sustainable technologies, climatic responsiveness and cultural awareness. By entwining these three key components it will give the overall project a deeper understanding of the client’s needs and wants. Also to turn those into a successful, comfortable and enjoyable community for these families to live and prosper in. The aim is to ensure the communities in the rural areas live a sustainable life without needing to move to the city.

Master Plan
The facility is designed in Boonoo Boonoo National Park which is located North-East of NSW. The programs comprise of public and private facilities. The public areas involved in the Centre are research and educational facilities. More categorically, the building houses a library ,teaching spaces and an event space for 100 people. Additionally, there is a community kitchen along with sustainable practices of making food for the guests. These spaces are designed to allow occupants to use indoors and outdoor environment to learn and absorb the beautiful
natural surroundings of the national park along the river front. The living quarters make up the private section of the facility. The facility provides accommodation for 32 people with different types of living arrangements. Each quarter offers wardrobes and personal study desks. Entire facility is looked after by a care taker who lives on site with his family. The Education Centre is designed in a way that it can generate its own power with turbines located in higher water planes of the river and waste is managed through the living machines.

Master Plan Golf city is spread across 130 acres surrounding the Sahyadri mountain ranges. Designed in Mediterranean architecture style, the project has sprawling lush green golf courses surrounded by residential buildings. The master plan recreates a small town which preserves the natural slopes of the hills it is being set in; simultaneously providing maximum
area for the golf course. The Mediterranean style architecture with its terracotta roofs, stucco walls are intended to blend in to the natural setting of the hills and the Golf course. There is a full range of residential units, from luxury villas to studio apartments. The apartments are so designed that all rooms get views of the Golf Course.

Ground floor Plan
Podium 3 Mblem is a multi - storey residential tower in a bustling suburb of Mumbai on a narrow strip of land. The tower offers 3 & 4 bedroom apartments on each floor with swimming pool and fitness centres on third podium. The top two floor boast of two penthouses with view towards the creek and mountains in the distance. The building has basement, stilt and 2 levels of podium for parking. Mivan technology is being used for faster construction. The external dead walls of the buildings have a fluted self
design. A liner is put on the inside of the form work to create the design. This is reflected on most of the surfaces of the building. On the front elevation, square columns project outside the building line. This makes the height of the building accentuated from the street level. More than half of the floor plate is flat slab. Hence two more square columns are added to stabilise the structure on the front elevation. This gives the client an open plan and liberty to customise their apartment according to the needs.
