ST JAMES ORAL HISTORY LIBRARY | 2021 Location : Sydney, NSW Tutor : Mano Pollamballam Individual

This project is about revealing the abandoned tunnels under Hyde park in Sydney. And starting from southern side of St James station. And turn it into a public oral history library, with galleries, listening space, recording room, and auditorium room. Lighting, acoustic and touch sense become very sensible in underground space. This project is intent to explore the site and maximise the use of space and provide an unique atmosphere to the visitors.

Sectional Perspective of Hyde Park Design Principle The contemporary architecture is not competing with existing abandoned tunnels. It is more like a cohesive unit to enable people become more closer to the heritage building.

The form, lighting and material using is contrasting with existing tunnels. The cast in situ method is also completely different. The proposed building is an extension part to the existing tunnels. The underground space is fully utilised.

RETROFITTING CONTEMPORARY OFFICE IN WILKINSON BUILDING | 2021 Location : Darlington, NSW Group : Leo Liu , Russell Li Tutor : Sijie This project is retrofitting the level 4 and level 5 of Wilkinson building into a contemporary activity-based office space. The retrofit strategies will be based on improving the Indoor Environment Quality including thermal comfort, relative humidity, acoustic comfort, visual comfort and air quality. The design will follow the guidance of The WELL Building Standard and Green Star Interiors Guidelines. The design will also be reflecting on the company’s identity, focusing on sustainable designs and the use of timber materials.

Studio Space

After we analysed the requirement of acoustic, temperature, visual comfort and air quality for each space. We introduced different solution for each space. More glazing indoor to raise daylight accessibility. Provide shading device and insulation to control excessive daylighting and thermal energy. Timber walling and carpet flooring is able to absorb noise across the space. Open space and larger glazing area with sliding windows improve the air exchange between indoor and outdoor. Hence it raised the air quality.

Sectional Perspective 1

There are four main focus to our project: Thermal Comfort, Visual Comfort, Acoustic Comfort and Air quality. The WELL and Green star standards are the guide for us to improve on indoor environment quality. There is a huge improvement from the existing building to the retrofit building. From below standards to compliance most of the requirements.

HORIZON | 2021 Location : Katoomba, New South Wales Group : Leo Liu , Howard Zhao & Jacky Lee Tutor : Xinyi Wang

The main concept of the Horizon is to capture and frame the view of the valley views of the Blue Mountains in New South Wales. The design and the shape of the lookout is designed to capture a particular view, which allows visitors to walk from the above to down that shows different framed views formed by the facade of the lookout. Eventually, visitors can explore the geometry, the habitats and the nature of the Blue Mountains.
