JAMES JH CHANG SELECTED WORKS
My design philosophy
is to seek change,
through reinterpretation of the norm.
Bio
With a strong passion for architecture throughout his academic years, James has exposed himself to the creative realm of spatial manipulation that shaped his eye for appreciation of both historical and contemporary designs. To complement this attention to detail for architecture, he has accumulated 4 years of experience in utilising commercial standard software packages that facilitates his design aspirations. Having graduated from Master of Architecture program at UNSW with the opportunity to participate in various architectural projects, James has formulated a research based method of conceptualisation that is relevant across all design disciplines. By conducting multiple studies and thorough analysis of past precedents, this allow for the isolation of key characteristics that best fulfills the intentions of the client project. By acknowledging the growing consciousness in achieving sustainability in construction, James believes that ‘less is more’ and spatial experiences does not rely on decorative qualities, rather the psychological emotions that are generated through clear and distinct spaces. The strong interest across multiple disciplines of design also contribute to his innovative curiosity incorporate other art forms into architectural design. Driven by the ‘what if’ mindset and the constant desire for new opportunities and experiences, James intends to further his understanding in construction whilst working alongside with other creative architects, in a fun and adventurous environment.
This portfolio contains a selection of my past works that have been developed for both personal and commercial purposes, organized in a manner to best demonstrate my existing level of design.

Brundah House 37 Norton Street, Ballina ------------------------------------------------------Situated in a town to the South of Byron Bay, ‘Brundah’ is a state heritage listed residential dwelling in light weight timber construction. Previously operated as a bed and breakfast accommodation for travelling tourists, new owners commissioned David Scobie Architects to undertake alterations and addition works to provide new amenities and reconfiguration of internal layout for the growing family. Restoration works also form part of the proposal to retain the original features of this federation house. Whilst the rear extension draws design principals from the original house such as form and proportion. Careful attentions to architectural details and material finishes have been implemented to be sympathetic and clearly distinguish the new and the old. In addition to a new kitchen, custom joinery designs have also been incorporated to better meet the needs of the family’s living standards. Tools: AutoCAD 2D, Photoshop
Note: Project is currently under construction, the displayed progress photographs in no way represent the final architectural design.
Lowden Residence 16 Kelburn Road, Roseville ------------------------------------------------------To cater for a growing family, the proposed design of the family bathroom forms part of the new second floor extension for the household. Featuring a raked ceiling with a rectangular plan, the design intended to maximize the useable space available in order to offer sufficient service area for both freestanding bath and shower facilities. Based on the client’s brief, a conscious decision to separate the dry and wet areas has been made to allow for easier cleaning and maintenance around children. At the same time, spatial planning were dependent on the spring height restriction, which only permitted specific fittings to be accessible based on its functions. The combination of light vertical planes and dark horizontal planes determines the colour scheme for this room, along with a mindful selection of bathroom fittings; we were able to provide a practical yet elegant design solution that fulfils the client’s expectations. Tools: AutoCAD 2D
Maggio Redevelopment 463 Miller Street, Cammeray ------------------------------------------------------This redevelopment project based in Cammeray aims to replace the outdated brick building previously operated as a local butcher into a mixed use residential and commercial property, bringing an improved standard of living and business opportunities to the thriving local community. With the ground floor of the building planned to be leased for retail purposes, the owner has commissioned us to create this rendered plan and elevation presentation as part of a marketing campaign to attract the attention of its prospective clients. By introducing colour, texture and elements of surrounding context, this better assist the clients with a visualization of the building once completed, as well as demonstrating its relationship and interaction with the adjoining properties.

Jenner House 2 Macleay Street, Potts Point ------------------------------------------------------Constructed in 1871 as a marine villa that represented the wealth of its residents in the area, Jenner house is now one of the few remaining heritage properties currently standing in the urbanized Potts Point. With an extensive history the building has undergone multiple changes in its use, including residential, private hospital and naval purposes. As a result, several alterations and addition works has also been carried out during its lifespan. During its most recent changes, the new owner carried out several unauthorized works without DA consent. As the appointed heritage consultant for the project, David Scobie Architects has compiled a set of drawings documenting the known works for council review, along with various design advices, with the aim of obtain a building certificate on behalf of the client.

War Memorial Master Plan Lions Park, West Wyalong ------------------------------------------------------As part of the Local Community Strategic Plan by Bland Shire Council to revitalize the town character, a master plan for a war memorial has been prepared to commemorate Australian war history and notable war hero, Reginald Roy Rattey. With utilization of the existing main access onto the parkland via Newwell Highway, the master plan provides a link for pedestrian circulation between the old and new park and public parking amenities. By retaining the vehicle driveway into the existing caravan park to the West, the proposed memorial is segregated into two zones: the North garden that comprises of a circular walkway with monuments on either side to commemorate the eleven theatres of war, similar to that of the Australian War Memorial in Canberra, and the South garden, whereby a monument is to be erected in remembrance of Sergeant Rattey.

Victoria Park Mental Health Services Victoria Park Precinct, Sydney ------------------------------------------------------A project initiated to demonstrate consciousness towards the mental health sector as neglected by the government, the process of design has undergone a study on the history of psychiatric facilities, to identify the various social implications of such facilities on society through time. The resulting analysis helped in uncovering a list of guidelines which forms the foundation for the new design. This hypothetical projects attempts to highlight the ideal conditions which will promote mental recovery, which is to provide a highly public element to blend in with the community while retaining a level of privacy necessary for healing. The building therefore reflects these factors, vertical elevation increases privacy while empowering the participants of the facility.
Tools: AutoCAD 2D, Photoshop, Sketchup
Site Selection
Based on the initial research, the ideal living conditions for psychiatric healing is one that promotes openness and natural elements to eliminate any sense of confinement. By combining this with the intent of integrating the facility into the existing community, a process of elimination took place in determining the suitable site.

Sydney 2030 Martin Place Metro Station Martin Place Precinct, Sydney ------------------------------------------------------With the intent of redeveloping Martin Place to accommodate for the future metro network, this project has granted me the opportunity to assess existing issues associated with the chosen site. Serving as the fiancial core of the CBD, Martin Place as a significant link between Geroge Street and Macquarie Street lacks a unique character that differentiates itself from the remaining city as well as major problems with circulations at peak hours during the day.

Thai House Digital Model Construction ------------------------------------------------------As Revit slowly becomes the industry standard tool for both architectural design and documentation, the BIM framework of this software offers more efficient workflow as compared to traditional modeling software. This will not only increase in productivity but also accuracy of the building design. This project was an exercise to demonstrate proficiency in operating Revit Architecture at a professional level, from the initial stage of producing contoured landscaping and building construction, to specifying surface materials and the creation of final renders/documentation. A thorough exploration of Revit’s tool has been carried out to reach the final design solution.
Tools: Photoshop, Revit Architecture
Timber Construction Components ------------------------------------------------------With a proposal to design a 10 storey residential building that is primarily constructed in timber, this project take little notice on the architectural experience of the building and instead focuses on the study of timber’s potential as a structural element. Effective visual communication is created to demonstrate the method of joint construction at various points of the structure as well as a breakdown of materials for construction. A quantitative structural analysis on its strength, stiffness and durability is also carried out in Multiframe to assess the feasibility of the structure.

The most basic natural ventilation system is the provision of openable windows. The tables below provides details of specific window types. Windows can cause localised discomfort due to draughts and cold radiation in winter, or solar gain in summer. However, occupants of natually ventilated buildings with openable windows are generally willing to accept a wider range of internal temperatures than occupants of air-conditioned buildings with sealed windows, largely because they have more control over their environment.

Steensen Varming Ventilation Systems ------------------------------------------------------The purpose of this projects aims at providing a diagrammatic explanation for the different types of ventilation systems that is available in HVAC design. By compiling into a catalogue it provides a efficient and effective solution for communicating with clients in choosing the most suitable method for their projects. A basic understanding on how natural ventilation works allows a more energy efficient design to reduce the need for mechanical systems.
SINGLE-SIDED VENTILATION Single-sided
ventilation
describes
a
space
primarily ventilated by wind entering one or more opening within a single external wall. On days when there is little or no wind, limited ventilation is still possibl if windows have top and bottom openings. This will enable convection currents in the space to expel warm air through the top opening and draw fresh air in at the bottom (known as stack ventilation). Large vertical openings are also effective, such as a horizontal sliding sash window.

C R O S00S V E N T I L A T I O N Cross ventilation is a very effective way to achieve a high rate of ventilation and can be used in relatively deep-plan offices. Wind drives air through open windows on the windward side of the building and open windows on the opposite side allow stale air to escape. This is good as a high rate of ventilation is therefore possible and requires minimal cost. However for effective cross ventilation a relatively clear path for ait to flow across the space, also inappropriate window design may result in disruptive draughts.

S T A C01 K V E N T I L AT I O N Stack ventilation describes the process of buoyant, warm air rising upwards in a building and existing through one or more high-level openings. The air displaced from the building causes cooler fresh air to be drawn into the building through low-level openings, such as windows, and doors. The main benefit of stack ventilation is that the temperature difference between the inside and outside of a building is the driving force and can therefore provide ventilation on hot still days when there is little or no winds.

Headway Hair Salon Tuen Mun, New Territories, HK ------------------------------------------------------As the first commissioned project to develop a new store image for the coming winter season, the design process provided valuable insight in compromising and liaising with clients in reaching a common solution. Located in the suburban context of Tuen Mum District, the hair salon targets fashion conscious youths in the local area. As a result, the client intended for grunge and decorative qualities to be incorporated into the design of promotional posters and name cards. The deliberate color palette of different materials contribute to the existing warm and intimate qualities of the store.
Tools: Illustrator, Photoshop
Reflecting on its minimalist salon interiors with a soft pastel palette, the new card designs for Takeshi & Team salon aims to deliver a fresh yet professional identify to its customers, while maintaining an appeal for the different age groups.
