Arbeia Roman Fort & Museum South Shields
Northumbria University Authentic Design Ιnquiry Marios Kypridemos
FINAL OUTPUT
Concept In terms of exterior language, the building is rectangular and simple and took its shape from the Roman granaries that used to be inside the Arbeia Fort and were the most characteristic buildings in the fort (24 in total). The windows are vertical from floor-to-ceiling, while some of them continue up to the roof. This way there is a better distribution of sunlight through the whole building. It has a metal structure and window frames, scorched timber pitched roof and dark grey board-pressed concrete wall cladding. Therefore, this dark exterior look of the building takes the form of a ‘shadow’, recalling the memory of the Roman granaries in a modern way.
However, the interior of the building is completely different. It has brighter colours creating a contrast between the exterior and interior look. There is a concrete irregular path at the first floor that guides people through the exhibition. Hence, there is an obvious departure of the first floor layout from the Roman order and architecture of linear and right angles. However, the layout of the ground floor is different with right angles and straight walls leading to a strong contrast between the ground and first floor layouts.
The idea of the path is inspired by the Hedmark Museum in Norway. The architect Sverre Fehn, used an elevated concrete path and platforms as a way to guide people through the museum. The same happens here, with the concrete path providing access to the different exhibitions spaces and taking you on a narrative through the history of the site and the museum. Model of a Roman granary in the Arbeia Fort. Granaries were the most characteristic buildings in the fort as it was full of granaries (24 in total) where most Roman forts contained only two of them.
Scorched timber will be used as roof cladding to match the dark grey colour of the walls and create the effect of the building taking the form of a shadow.
The wall cladding will be made of vertical boardpressed concrete, to create a continuity of the vertical language between the windows, the walls and the roof.
Concept In addition, the main materials of the building’s interior are concrete for the pathway and the walls and wood for the floor and exhibition’s bases, creating another contrast between the coldness of the concrete and warmness of the wood. Also, the roof is made of SIPS panels for better insulation. All the window frames are made of metal and glass is also used for exhibitions purposes. The materials for the museum are inspired by the Hedmark Museum and also by Castlevecchio in Verona made by Carlo Scarpa. The materials used in the exhibitions spaces in Castelvecchio are concrete for the walls and wood for the floor and roof too.
Finally, there is an atrium opposite the West Gate giving to the building a taste of the modern architecture. Its scope is to frame and give a full view of the West Gate for the people inside the atrium sitting outside the café or passing through the bridge on the first floor. Also, the large full-glazed windows of the atrium come in contrast with the vertical narrow windows of the exhibition space, which give sample views for the visitors towards the archaeological space of the Arbeia Fort.
Carlo Scarpa also used a bridge to connect exhibition spaces.

The Brasside Bunkers Durham
Northumbria University Authentic Design Ιnquiry Marios Kypridemos
FINAL OUTPUT
The history of the Brasside Bunkers
The approach to the house
Brasside Bunkers were built during the Second World War and they were used as ammunition and bulk explosives depots. It is located in Durham, at the Brasside area, north of Frankland prison and near Finchale Abbey. There are 25 concrete bunkers in total and they are all mostly identical. They are laid out in the classic ordnance depot pattern and were connected via a set of railway tracks with the main train line running past to the west. The bunkers have not been used for many years resulting to the re-vegetation of the area. Today, the Brasside Bunkers are part of a County Wildlife Site and the site is included in the Durham City Local Plan as a Site of Nature Conservation Importance and Policy E18 which aims to safeguard such sites. Currently, they have no purpose and not many people know about their existence.
The design and layout of the house is primarily a result based on the three approaches that are described at the following pages. In terms of materiality, the walls are white to be in contrast with the existing concrete structure, while board-pressed concrete was used for the walls that are projecting out of the house’s rectangular form (entrance, office and garage). However, aluminium and wood cladding is used for the first floor’s exterior walls, in order to create another strong contrast between the modern shaped pavilion at the first floor and the rest of the ground floor house. The general language of the house is made of wooden louvers that make up a nice and warm addition to the house (combined with natural elements like plants and water) against the concrete material of all the existing elements. Wood is also used for the door’s frames, flooring and staircase. Also, modern stones are used for the fireplace in contrast to the existing concrete block of which is an extension inside the living area of the house which is designed around the fireplace for people to gather around. This way, the concrete block wall is highlighted not only outside of the house but inside as well. The first floor of the house serves as a fitness suite giving to the house an additional purpose. The fitness suite includes a space with exercise equipment, sauna room, steam room, bathroom and an outdoor sitting area. It can be used by the householders and by guests.
Sunpath and wind direction on site Existing plan of bunker no. 4 1:200
1. Sunlight Everywhere One of the major difficulties of the site the lack of natural light at the ground floor because of the hills (that used to stop the blast in case of an explosion) which make it unable to have any windows at the East and West sides of the house. To solve this, an internal courtyard was designed in the middle of the house based on the sun path analysis, to let more sunlight and better ventilation into the house. Also, some skylights were introduced to bring sunlight in some other spaces such as the staircase and the bedroom’s corridor. As a result of this approach, there is enough sunlight and ventilation through the whole house.
Skylight Direct Sunlight Neutral Sunlight
2. Zoning and Public vs Private The house is organised in zones that have emerged from the introduction of the courtyard and are based on the suitable circulation of the users and guests of the house. Starting from North, we have the main entrance and then the public spaces that extend up to the first floor as well. In the middle is the internal courtyard which is a nice place offering to the house extra views of natural characteristics such as plants and water. Also, West of the courtyard is the secondary spaces such as the area that connects the public with the private zone. Finally, at the South part of the house, we have the private area and the garden.
Main entrance Public spaces Internal courtyard Secondary spaces Private spaces Garden
3. Existing vs New and Exterior vs Interior The house is designed in a way that not only maintains the existing structure of the bunkers and the hills, but also highlights them throughout the whole house, as a respect to their history. As seen from the images, with grey colour is the existing structure including all the concrete block wall, columns, beams, purlins and roof. Therefore, there is a clear separation between all the existing materials and the new ones that are all part of the house. As a result of this, there is also a distinction between exterior elements that become part of the house’s interior (e.g. the concrete block next to the entrance) and vice-versa (e.g. the beams on top of the courtyard).

Humbledon Hill Sunderland
Northumbria University Authentic Design Ιnquiry Antonis and Marios Kypridemos
FINAL OUTPUT
The site The site is located at the Humbledon Hill in Sunderland. The client wants to build a series of two-storey houses with a flat roof and four bedrooms at about 250 sq. m. each. This project has been designed for the plot No.3 of the upper site of the proposed development. The most distinctive characteristic of the site is the amazing views it offers and this was the main feature for the concept development and layout of the house, taking into consideration the sunlight and the slope of the site as well.
House design and layout The layout of the house is designed so that it takes a great advantage of both views and sunlight based on the location of the house at the hill. The ground floor is facing West providing sunlight and nice views to all four bedrooms. Also, all of the bedrooms have access to the garden. The secondary/service spaces (e.g. bathrooms and utility room) are placed in the east part of the ground floor and sunlight is provided through skylights. The first floor is placed in a way so that it doesn’t prevent the sunlight from entering the spaces of the ground floor. It allows enough space for skylights (above the services of the ground floor) and a large space for a terrace on top of the ground floor which offers both sunlight and nice views. At the same time, it creates shelter for the parking space. In addition, unlike the ground floor, the first floor is facing North-South. Therefore, it takes both advantages of the beautiful North views (through a panoramic window) and the sunlight coming from South (through a series of floor to ceiling windows). The office has also nice views and sunlight from the West and access to another small covered terrace too. The materials chosen are sustainable and affordable. For the interior, there are modern furniture and materials used for both floors. The exterior language is different for each floor in order to make more distinctive the idea of having two boxes (ground floor and first floor) one sitting on top of the other having different orientation (90 degrees) as well. In particular, the first floor is described by plain white walls with black window frames, whereas the ground floor has grey concrete cladding and wooden louvres with black metal frames along its West façade. The square metres of the ground floor are 134 (excluding the garage) and 109 for the first floor making it a total of 243 sq. m. There is also the possibility to reduce the total square metres if needed.
