Lagos City Of Water, Competition Voen Foundation, Nigeria Lloyd Martin Arch. 2020
WATER NO GET ENEMY 1st Place- International
An international design competition for a building, structure or masterplan that helps envision a future for Lagos on water. Due to the impact of climate change, rising sea levels, increased rainfall and flooding are becoming a day to-day reality for people in Lagos. The proposal embraces this inevitable future. Envisioning a new form of urbanism that enhances a symbiotic relationship between man and water.
The proposal adopts the monopile construction system that is utilised in offshore wind farms. The sturdy nature of the pile provides a secure and solid base for clusters of communities to flourish, free from flooding. Each community cluster is supported by Service Platforms, Biorefineries and Market/Sports fields. The Clusters grow organically over time, adapting to the ever increasing demand for housing in Lagos. Each home is envisioned as an enclosed loop, in which the circular economy and metabolism of the home is of primary importance.

Jorejick Housing Competition Karatu, Tanzania Lloyd Martin Arch. 2020
Left: A housing competition for a family of 15 people in rural Tanzania. Exploring effiecient and sustainable ways of designing in Africa, all within a budget of ₏20000. At the core of the design proposal is our belief that this project should not only build a home for the Jorejick family now, but also provide a framework for sustainable future growth, both spatial and economic. We have designed Ukuaji as a home that can adapt and evolve as the family does. Its modular design provides all the spaces the family currently requires, while leaving room within the framework for future development. Replicating the historical Iraqw sunken earthen home, we have limited the external wall areas exposed to driving rain and sun, whilst improving the thermal inertia capabilities, and used passive lighting, cooling and heating, taking cues from the project’s immediate cultural surroundings.

Left: The design achieves this using just 75% of the total budget, leaving 25% available for investment in sustainable technologies, and for education and upskilling. While even the core building structure would offer significant lifestyle improvements, investment in sustainable technologies across the site will make this project truly transformational. Ukuaji is a holistic design solution to house and support the family system, catalysing economic development and leaving room for spatial growth. With its modular design, Ukuaji could be transposed and adapted for other rural or urban settings in Tanzania, offering a sustainable solution to the country’s housing crisis.

Rushungi Eco Lodge Kilwa, Tanzania Lloyd Martin Arch. 2020
RUSHUNGI ECO LODGE Rushungi ecolodge is located in Rushungi village near the two major historical islands close to each other just off the Tanzanian coast, 300km south of Dar es Salaam. The basic principle of the project is to achieve a harmonious integration with the natural and cultural environment. The design is based on characteristics of the natural milieu, respecting native vegetation and wildlife, soil, beaches, and the adjacent sea (including coral reefs).
The buildings are characterized by curved and triangular forms to fit into the contours of the landscape. Simple specialised thatched roofs are used in all the buildings with exposed roof members. The Lodge is characterised by a friendly, relaxed, flexible and educational environment. The design and activities provided within the facility encourage close interaction with the natural environment. This gives the visitor a feeling of being somewhere special and imparts a sense of place and a sense of belonging. Left: Spatial concept for the new ecolodge.

Conservatory Barbican, London London School of Architecture 2019
CONSERVATORY Masters thesis proposal for the London School of Architecture. This exemplar mixed-use project demonstrates the opportunity for London of integrating the economy and ecology on above-ground infrastructural developments. At Farringdon Crossrail East and Barbican stations, the site’s valuable heat resources are reused to power a combined market and housing scheme, presenting a new model of environmental and social sustainability.
Above: The site, situated above London Barbican station. Below: Long Section perspective through entire scheme.
11
The proposal is envisioned as a hybridization of open plan market infrastructure and a selfsustaining, off-grid neighborhood of bioclimatically enclosed housing, fostering a truly economical and sustainable building typology that is otherwise impossible within the climatic conditions of London. The design is a combination of a series of complex systems of relationships both in a programmatic and functional way and in an experiential, emotive and social way all based around a new form of heat and energy utilization.

Heat Hub Rotterdam, Netherlands FABRICations 2017
HEAT HUB
An Urban Metabolism study of the port city of Rotterdam was conducted in order to improve the energy consumption of the city. The Heat Hub was a design proposal culmination of one branch of metabolism research. The presence of geothermal heat brings opportunities for creating a heat network that is stabilized by a grid of heat hubs. This means an extension to the technical facility already used in Rotterdam South. Geothermal wells both provide heat energy in winter and buffer industrial heat in summer.
17
By linking the heating network to geothermal heat, a very stable network is created that can be developed in a centralised or decentralised way. Culminating in enormous savings in energy consumption and a considerable reduction in CO2 emissions. This new proposal of the heat hub also has a public function with innumerable possible uses, from watch tower to year round public space and spa.

LocHal Library Tilburg, Netherlands Civic Architects 2016
LOCHAL LIBRARY World Building of the year - 2019. Creative re-use project of the year - 2019 World Library of the year - 2019 The vast LocHal library and events space, occupies a former glass and steel locomotive shed in Tilburg, the Netherlands. The library is named after the locomotive shed in which it is housed. Conceived as contemporary reinterpretations of the original building, new solid structures made from black steel, concrete, glass and oak are combined
with a series of movable giant textile screens that can create temporary zones within the building. The architecture has retained much of the industrial building’s steel structure with its tall glass windows and towering riveted columns – that have shape the renovated interior. As well as a reading space, the building also functions as a meeting place for events organised by partners such as the arts organisation Kunstloc Brabant, and Seats2Meet.
Above: View of the grand staircase structure that forms the heart of the proposal and allows for a diversity of different programs and events.

LocHal Library Tilburg, Netherlands Civic Architects 2016
To make the building as welcoming and accessible as possible, the entrance hall is conceived as a covered city square with large public reading tables that double as podia, an exhibition area and a coffee kiosk. A set of broad steps which can be used as event seating for over one thousand spectators connect the ground floor square to the building’s upper floors where huge glass facades allow for plentiful daylight. The imperfections of the existing materials contribute much to the authentic atmosphere of the LocHal.

WATERSHED
The proposal was to create a new street through the entire renovated shed that sets up an urban pedestrian network which connects several popular areas around the shed. The aim of the project was to increase the intensity and diversity of human interactions in the city. To achieve this, a market, an exhibition venue, some rentable office spaces and green spaces were added to the program. These activities were concentrated along a street which connects to a larger urban network.
33
Perpendicular to the street, a 50 x 50m steel floor hovers over the market with huge openings in the floor that makes interaction between the levels possible. The top floor is a series of mezzanines which are open to the main suspended floor. To keep the focus on the street rather than the individual stalls, they were designed for the tenants to customise and transform as they want. The urbanity cannot be contingent on a fragile architecture.
