Marie Herber Architect Portfolio
WHO I AM I have been working in London for almost 3 years where I have been pleased to work on a wide range of projects from residential, including a Grade II listed building Arefurbishment to a Musical Academy Centre and mixed use. I have worked on these projects from feasibility to the full application. My responsabilities include the design development, coordination with the client and the consultants. I have always worked with the same passion, precision and efficiency on different scale projects accomplished beyond client expectations. My different experiences allowed me to gain a comprehensive understanding of project development and management in London.
INNOVATION TO GO BEYOND I really think sustainability is the “must do” in architecture. Going beyond the “PVs on the roof” to achieve sustainability will be necessary soon. Sooner we innovate in this branch, better we will be prepared for the future to reduce our impact on the environment. I want to be part of this major XXI century transition. I am confident that my skill set can contribute positively to your practice. I believe that my aspiration to become a successful architect, my ambition to make a difference to people’s lives and my excellent design ability would make me a valuable member of your team. I enclose my CV and portfolio for your consideration. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to discuss my application further and look forward to hearing from you. Marie Herber

PROGRAMME
RESPONSIBILITIES
The idea for Grosvenor Square, is to create a lake (with an outdoor pool) within a parkland setting. A powerful tension is created between the informality of the picturesque setting of the park, and the modern interventions characterised by pure geometric forms of the pool.
Design in a limited time : Being efficient and creative under pressure Manage final CGI while the plan and elevations still evolve
Celebrate Landscape with a minimal architectural intervention

Extend the public realm Extend the square to East and West to building frontages there by significantly increasing the public realm.
4
Create a park land setting Create undulating land forms of lawns, wild flowers meadows and wetland habitats, creating a micro-climate that can support and enhanced biodivesity.
3
Create a hidden pool Within the picturesque lake a subterranean lido and ice rink are created, depending on the time of year. Utilisation of waste heat from surrounding buildings will heat the pool in summer months. During winter, reversing the process will freeze the water creating an ice rink.

journey through rational and natural landscape
Context
Since the fifth century the area has produced SALT, otherwise labelled ‘white gold’. HORIZONTAL landscape. The area lies between a RATIONAL and a NATURAL area.
Location
The project creates an INTERFACE between the NATURAL and the RATIONAL landscape. The building reflects the character of the area. Process from COMMUNAL to INDIVIDUAL. DETACH the building from the land relating to salt mines design.
Building
What is the best way to construct a long building? Two INDOOR SPACES at either end of the building connected by a COURTYARD The first building acts as an entrance to the communal areas. The second is an entrance to the spa area. The building is designed like an ENCLOSURE with a central courtyard. The buidling provides vantage points over the NATURAL WORLD on one side and over the RATIONAL WORLD on the other one.
WATER AS THE CONNECTING THREAD of the project. Two pools are connected by a WATER LINE through the courtyard
Structure
The periphery of the building is designed differently to ENHANCE THE FEELING OF ENCLOSURE and focus on ourself.
Indoor spaces enjoy SOFT NATURAL LIGHT thanks to the gap between the wall and the roof
Materiality
The walls and floor are designed with LOCAL STONE The peripheral roof, designed in wood, contrasts with the concrete roof in the internal areas.

Context
Vernazza is one of the CINQUE TERRE’S villages. (Unesco Heritage) The architecture is in accordance with the LOCAL TOPOGRAPHY. The village is made up of a combination of STONE ARCHITECTURE and COLOURED HOUSING. The village slopes down to TWO CULMINATION POINTS, a church and a jetty.
Location
The project will be the THIRD CULMINATION POINT of the village. The project will link the MANMADE structures of the village with the NATURAL CLIFF.

Structure
Reinforced concrete wall structure. Walls angles provide an interesting spatial depth. The light gets inside the building through these gaps. The windows are directed towards the sky and sea, maintaining the impression of tectonic rock faces.
Materiality
To give the impression of tectonic plates, the building is constructed with shuttered concrete providing a sense of density.
