Y E A R DES IGN R E P O RT Once again we were eased into the year by a group project; Charrette. I very much enjoyed Charrette last year and this year did not disappoint. I was in the Animate Space group which consisted of building a giant Rube Goldberg machine throughout the Architecture of people and di each other. I think Charrette is a great way to introduce the freshers onto the course, as well as ease all the others back into the working spirit.

realise that upside-down living would make the space work the best. I also love the idea of overhangs, and cantilevers, and was very necessarily with regards to the di happy with the outcome of my design, it was simple, clean and minimalist which is a style I have tried to continue throughout the year. in my sketchbook that I have done much more process work in it, although it is still not as much as a lot of my peers. Something to Our second project was another residential project although this one was on a much larger scale. Living on the edge taught us to actually go on to measure and take photos, although we were supplied with most the information we needed. We started this project by doing group research on various characteristics, such as the foyer occupants, the space requirements and the history of the site. I was in charge of space requirements; we made a table to scale showing the proportionality of all the rooms and spaces, as well as a chart showing which rooms might connect and which would be at opposite rooms. We also were introduced to an activity. I chose glass well as the requirements for the workshop.

My main aims of this project were to create something the underprivileged youth could be proud of; a type of monument emphasising the achievement of them taking a step in the right direction. I also wanted the building to show o the works of the occupants, emphasising their pride. Because site C was reasonably small for the scale of the project, I wanted to play with levels, and of course, an erent viewpoints of the river from looking through the building from Lime Street, to the windows of the workshop. I decided to make the overhang out of black great e ect from outside, emphasising the monumental design. My interior was quite straightforward; clean lines, making the most of the space, and emphasising the features the site has to o er.

My plans for Living on the Edge were not very good at demonstrating the feel of the building which is something I have tried to portray in my new rendered drawings for my portfolio. I tried to go into more detail to give a better understand of how I would like the building

concept for this project was the journey through the building. I chose the old tidal pool, a derelict site that I wanted to bring back to life.

Having not grown up in the UK I had never seen or even heard of a tidal pool so it was interesting doing research on the facility. It was also an amazing opportunity to invite the public down to the sea as opposed to sticking to the road. I decided to create a path that

by its core concept of upside down living. The main living space is a nice open space that juts out of the facade giving a lovely view over the playing grounds ahead, while still keeping it private through the low ceiling and relatively small windows of the box. Above the house is a generous roof terrace on which there could either be a sofa to have drinks on a sunny evening, or a table to eat breakfast at, giving the clients the opportunity to make the most of the outdoors.

The staircase leading up to the terrace is into a wall unit on which the clients can exhibit their pottery. private space, with the o ce overlooking the street, and the bedroom with a large window onto the backyard, which will be heavily planted to create a nice view from the bedroom.

Due to the upside down living, I designed a bridge going from the kitchen area across to a staircase leading down to the backyard. This will be a perforated metal bridge to add to the modern look of the house, and allow a maximum of light to penetrate into the bedroom below. A locker for bicycles and other outdoor equipment is formed below the outdoor staircase, creating a safe and dry environment.

CIVICCENTRED The Coastal Ribbon

The key concept in my civic centre is the journey through the building which I have attained through the use of a bridged path forming a ribbon connecting moments.

From the existing path, the ribbon goes to the high edge of sharpness point, where it widens to allow for a bench with 360ยบ views. It then continues along the cliff edge on a glass skywalk continuing to the roof of building A, the library, where the ribbon spirals down the middle of glass box, before exiting at ground level in the bath. The ribbon then goes up before drifting down to building C, the creche.

The ribbon forms an alternative route for walkers along the coast road, as well as access to my civic centre.

y g r e En sis ly a n A

In order to increase my initial dwelling CO2 emission rate (DER) over target CO2 emission rate (TER) percentage of -11 I changed all of my initial U values to the researched ones listed above in my table. This started increasing the percentage. I then increased the thickness of hot water insulation jacket from 10mm to 50mm and changed my boiler from a boiler with insulated primary pipework and no cylinder stat. to a boiler with insulated primary pipework and with cylinder stat. I then proceeded to do my DiaLUX simulation for which I had to reduce the window size. When I input the smaller window area, my solar gains went down from 783 W to 667 W which was a shame but it had to be done to reduce the lux levels.

approximately £105 a year for the space heating and £103 a year to heat the water. This can be reduced by other factors that aren’t taken into cost, and other economic factors that could be introduced into the design to improve the overall credit rating; some of which I will talk about now. idea behind solar panels is therefore that the sun is used to heat water in glass panels on your roof just a small hose on, the water comes out hot. This is because the sun has heated the water that was left in the hose. The water to meet your desired showering and washing temperature. The problem with solar panels is that you need enough sunlight and heat to warm the water, which might not be the case in many countries, and certainly not through the winter season. This would certainly be the case in the Ouseburn Valley, although the key here is sunlight and not necessarily a high temperature. To add to this, many companies have designed solar panels that include technologies to maximize the reduced amount of winter sun we get. Therefore if solar panels were used, less energy would be pipes to go through the hot glass workshop, so that the kiln would heat the water, at least the initial few degrees, reducing the amount of energy needed to heat the water.

ST RU CTURAL DIAGRA M | Masonry Construction My building is composed of masonry and glass and has a steel frame to withstand the load of my overhang. The roof is a steel is a durable material with a high thermal mass which makes it ideal for the riverbed climate. Low U-values are provided by the excavated to incorporate my building, where the basement back wall is fully underground. I used pile foundations to secure the building, due to its proximity to water.

Disabled Parking

General Provisions

Most of the access to my civic centre would be from people walking along the coast road, or people that are on the beach, therefore I have not planned a car park in my design; however there is bay parking available all along the coast road which can be used for people driving to my civic centre. Safe pedestrian crossings and a dropped kerb would be created to ease the crossing of the relatively busy Grand Parade. I have widened the path down to the beach to allow for disabled users to drive to two disabled parking spaces with signage and blue badge restrictions, placed on my site. The distance from the disabled spaces to the main doors is a maximum of 26.8 m.

Escape routes and Doors

Smoke and heat alarms installed throughout the buildings with visual and audible warnings in accordance with BS 5839 Fire extinguishers are located in the corridors and large open plan rooms.

External and Internal Access The key concept of my building is that it proposes a journey through it at all times of the day, creating an alternative pedestrian route emphasising the views and rock face available. This route is an 153m ramp made initially of concrete and then of reinforced glass with a non-slip coating to avoid injuries due to

level.

All doors are automatic sliding doors, except for the changing rooms, children’s toilets and children’s classrooms where they are manually operated single pivot swing doors, therefore there is an There is an accessible toilet and shower in both the male and female changing rooms, an accessible viewing platform of the skydiving chamber. The climbing room can be accessed by an automatic sliding door. The diving pool stairs have a railing to ease accessibility into it.

For vertical circulation, a circular ramp with a gradient of 1:12 is available as the main circulation

Stairs and Final Exits from the pitch line of the staircase, and contrasting nosings as well as corduroy patterns at the top and bottom of the stairs.
