meditation hall The main hall is a physical representation of the Buddhist ideas of open heart and open mind. It will be used for meditating and yoga. The concept was inspired by a blooming white lotus. White lotus symbolizes Bodhi, the state of total mental purity and spiritual perfection, and the pacification of our nature. It consist of eight petals corresponding to the Noble Eightfold Path of the right views, intention, speech, action, livelihood, effort, mindfulness, and concentration. Lotuses are symbols of purity and ‘spontaneous’ generation and hence symbolize divine birth. Using bamboo as a main material and structure for the building, made the Architecture close to nature. Along with fresh air on top of the hill with the amazing view of the Mekong river and rice fields, it will help you find peace of your mind and body. 03 modeling | Kampong Cham | January 2017

restaurant In following construction theme takes its reference from nature and the Lotus. The restaurant dining area is essentially an open area that needs shading from the direct sunlight. A large leaf like structure covers a low level area flanked on three sides by ponds which contain lotus plants and flowers. The roof is supported by one stem like structure which comes from the centre of the seating area, allowing a column free unobstructed views over the ponds to the sights around the site and beyond. modeling | Phnom Penh | May 2016

Ang Trapiang Thmor memorial crane reserve Interpretation Centre year location collaboration
2016 Banteay Meanchey, Cambodia David Cole | Srydanith Nak | Chenda Va
The proposal calls for an interpretation centre which will act as a hub for all eco-tourist activities on the reservoir. The location has been established as the point at the end of the dyke close to a year round pond and a lotus pond. In order to accommodate parking it has been suggested that for the purposes of parking that the road should be diverted on to an older existing parallel road. This would reduce traffic and further support the case for the bird sanctuaries location.

The plan and elevation show how the building is arranged in public, semi public and private areas. In an attempt to reinforce the reference and concept of the forest, as you move further into the building there is a strong sense of enclosure and expansion as the upper viewing deck is reached. At this level the building opens up on the Northern side giving full views over the wetlands and the wildlife they support. Tree like structures act as columns inside the building and on the facade becomes gradually less dense as it opens to the public. The columns break out of the building and into the outside space, helping to disperse divisions between nternal spaces and external wildlife reserve. The building should create a safe warm/dry place to view the natural world.
16
services and cooling Internal comfort and sustainable energy strategy where artificial lighting and cooling methods are reduced through design considerations.
17
The new facility will offer visitors the opportunity to view endangered species while gaining an eye opening insight into the atrocities which occurred during 19751979. Visitors rise up to enter the building and are welcomed by a short history of the sites Angkorian past. Following this guests descend into an interpretation area to experience the darker period of the Khmer Rouge with a short film and personal stories of survivors. Next visitors rise up a level through the roof slab which houses a reflection pool that gives an opportunity to reflect upon the past while being surrounded by the present splendour of the lake and wildlife reserve.
18
Watching Towers The aim is to create a suite of buildings that tie together so we wanted to use timber and re-inforcement concrete structure as with the watching tower. The tower has two large platforms which can be used for the best viewing experience. On site will also privide accomodation to be used for rangers and tourist night stays so that early morning and sunset viewing can be acomodated.

1- Start with one strong angle straight line present of a dead tree which has been cut down from the forest.
2- Create one plateform for floor and a larger flat roof.
3- Add verticle baluster timber

Bamboo Borders year location collaboration
2016 Johor Bahru, Malaysia David Cole | Chenda Va
By arranging the bamboo culms vertically we create a curtain of columns that creates boundaries but also provides framing for important views on the site. By gently changing the height of the bamboo culms we can generate a new landscape giving a vision of the future development of the site. By cutting desire lines through the forest we open up framed vistas and areas for people to experience the sculpture by walking inside and through it. photo | Puteri Harbour | November 2016

July 2015 Washington DC, USA Elettra Melani | Tara Whelan | Phanha Hun
Just as World War I (WWI) has scarred our history with tragedy, heroism and loss, this memorial design scars the landscape to create a fully urban commemorative transformation of Pershing Park. Trenches were a primary feature of the Great Wars, where many people lived, suffered and died, and are forms rarely seen or used today.
trench section
E St. NW
14th St. NW
As visitors explore the site, the scale and shape of the trenches permeate feelings of absence, displacement and triumph that were inescapable parts of the war. Above the trenches,an urban park with seating and water features, accessible on all sides with views to the city creates open flexible space with only a hint of what lies below. Looking down into the dark entrapments of war, the trenches are places of rememberance that can be visited and experienced to show the scars and legacy of war for future generations.

15th St. NW
Using the existing topography of the site, these three “trenches� are carved into the landscape to become an experiential memorial. Being the first war to be fought on land, sea and air, the design incorporates all three elements. Land being dug apart by the trenches, water on the surface and air is proposed to be released as a fog in the trences at 11am to remember the ending of WWI.

Tmat Boey eco-lodge year location collaboration
August - November 2014 Preah Vihear, Cambodia David cole | Elettra Melani
The design makes use of natural materials such as earth and bamboo. An adobe mix was created to be placed on the external walls with a lime plaster used to form a smooth, clean finish. Bamboo was sourced locally and used to create the roof and side wall facades. Recycled plastic bottles were collected from the local community and used to help create a staircase to reach the lodge itself, while also educating on the importance of recycling and reusing materials.

master plan Building Trust international have worked with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and SVC on a new eco-lodge designed and built by the local community, NGO partners and through a hands-on participatory design and build workshop. Building Trust were requested by WCS to work with the local community in Tmat Boey, in the north of Cambodia to design and construct a new lodge facility for WCS and SVC’s well established ecotourism project.
