M.Arch Thesis // 2017 L o c a t io n : Up p e r S e r a n g o o n R o a d T h e A rc h it e c t u re o f R eh a b i l i t a t i o n : H A L F WAY H O U S E S Thesis Statement: The penal system in Singapore aims to keep society safe through retribution (punishment), prevention and rehabilitation of offenders.These offenders include youth and adults who have committed penal offenses, drug addiction or drug antecedents. According to data from 1998-2014, the rehabilitation strategy has proven effective in achieving this aim.

Reintroducing the community and residents to each other through providing safe spaces for interaction. Both groups would feel comfortable around each other when they each have defined roles or a clear understanding of the other parties’ intentions.
By identifying the types of interaction that occur along with programs that provide the platform of creating safe spaces, spaces can be and adjacencies can be designed for encouraging sociable behaviour or exclusivity, reflecting the nature of each program.

The current daily program is used to find opportunities where forging meaningful relationships may occur spontaneously. Halfway houses can encourage community involvement within the compound through providing shared public space. Drawing the public in as a start, and allowing them to explore the compound and in doing so create chance interaction. Hence, adjacencies of program spaces and visual connection would be important. A purpose-built halfway house would need to have spaces which encourage reacceptance of these residents through meaningful interacting with them, dissolving discrimination and stigma. The environment should encourage residents to refamiliarise themselves with living in the community rather than seclude, programmatic arrangement and circulation routes which encourage chance interaction allor for residents to potentially establish new positive social networks.

The initial site response is to identify the quiet and extroverted faces of the site. Furthermore, as Upper Serangoon Road is a main road, the building serves as a public display and may almost function as a billboard. There is potential for the neighbourhood to use the site as a shortcut to the bus stop, it could potentially allow for the public to explore the compound freely, hence the need to split the site into an open plane for the public to freely roam and a reserved plane with limited access.

Top: back entrance Bottom: front entrance The front entrance is the retail face of the facility which will extend towards the recreational facilities on one side and the communal facilities on the other
The front entrance is placed right in front of the bus stop, where the public can enter through the cafe and join residents for a meal in the communal dining area. The sloping gesture is to invite the public into the space, where there is a free public ground plane with facilities they can use.
The back entrance for the neighbourhood is designed as a leisurely stroll in the park. The series of programs along the way are designed for visual interaction to occur between those making a morning commute to work and the residents. The program sequence is arranged from back (residential street) to front (main road) with the quiet religious activities followed by communal living and extroverted retail areas, which allows for increasing levels of public participation.
The back fascade allows residents to look into the quieter internal courtyard of the facility, where counselling rooms are located. Furthermore, the perception of the private residential connecting to the public gymnasium facility connected by slope of recreational facilities can be perceived.
The massing reflects the programmatic arrangement and intention of how the spaces can provide opportunities for increasing levels of interaction between the resident and the public. The public start from being passersby when they go about their daily commute, to acquaintences when they engage with the residents through the retail activities or chance interactions through exploring the space, to establishing friendships when they eventually are able to share the same recreational / event spaces and participate in activities together.
Visual connections are made between retail area are the recreational facilities that can be shared by the residents and the public. These visual connections allow for a safety zone which encourages exploration of the compound, providing more opportunities for chance interactions and possible relationship building.
The visual connectivity runs through the different layers of retail and recreational facilities. This is so that the public that goes into the space can know where each activity is located and the circulation routes brings them through the various recreational spaces as well. This allows for easier familiarisation with the facility, making it more welcoming and public-friendly.
The retail zone allows for looking into the workspace areas as well as the office areas. The retail areas are all directly connected to the recreational facilities while entrances are designed to allow the public to continue using the recreational facilities even when the retail areas are closed for the day.

Classrooms and Counselling Rooms on the ground level are designed as “garden rooms�. They will be free general public use for e.g. study areas, meetings and events. There are 2 types of counselling rooms, one for individual counselling and one for group counselling. These rooms are arranged such that each has a view of greenery and paths to the rooms will not intersect with the transparent faces for privacy.
Design of the hostel block focuses on generous provision of communal living space as well as privacy without compromising on safety and surveillence. Each hostel block is a linkage of 3 smaller blocks, serving to break down the scale of communal living and giving residents a stronger sense of a closeknit community. Within each hostel block, amenities such as communal dining areas, pantry, toilets and showers, computer stations and more intimate breakout spaces are provided for 50 pax
The hostel apartment requires ease of access for staff for surveillence and literal barrier-free access is necessary. However, the hostel rooms are also the only place within the compound where residents have the most privacy. In order to design for a more liveable environment and to give them a sense of dignity, a modular G-shape room is used, whereby orientation of partitions provide the privacy without the use of doors. In view of that, room sizes are mainly single rooms with a few double rooms for sharing. The compartmentalisation also makes it easier to separate walk-in clients from mandated clients from the Singapore Prison Service.
+1.00m
The outward-looking fascade would require less vilibility of the room interiors hence employing louvered windows that are extended vertically to appear less institutional. This gives residents the autonomy over their thermal comfort and privacy.
The use of split levels and bridge linkages across the hostel blocks allow for a more close-knitted interconnected communal living space. Arrangement of spaces begin with the singular G-shaped module, making sure that the direct approach into the room is “shielded� by a partition, providing privacy although rooms open directly into communal areas. The design is generated from 3.6m x 3.6m modular unit, some joined to form double-occupancy rooms, others joined as circulation..
+3.90m
The interior fascade would have higher windows so that residents will not be affected by others in the public walkways and common areas whilst providing ventilation. Each of these interior rooms will have another window at eye level due to the overall arrangement to avoid feeling enclosed in a cell.
+4.90m
+7.90m
+10.90m
The inward-looking fascade would project an openness with full length windows. Juliet balconies are added for an equal distribution of room space to all residents while adding to the openness of the interior fascade as well as shielding off parts of the window for privacy .

BEST PERFORMANCE
Clustering of the breakrooms in 4s would lead to slower heat transfer from the offices, which are larger thermal zones with higher energy usage and occupancy. Type L peripheral circulation would shield the interior spaces from the west sun thus requiring less energy to cool the office spaces on the west-side. With more faces adjacent to thermal zones with higher energy consumption, smaller thermal zones require more energy to condition compared to clustered thermal zones.
We created different iterations through the variation of circulation types as well as break room arrangements. As such, 9 resultant iterations are created. Note: The office spaces are split into thermal zones every 2 rows External windows and internal windows between internal spaces are also generated General %program 60% Offices 19% Circulation 16% Breakrooms 05% Reception

Experimental study of a parametric grid roof design. The design objective was to use geometry to reduce maximum bending moment, deflection and stress of an otherwise regular grid roof. The approach was to incorporating circles to distribute force flow in order to reduce deflection and removing excess material from column-supported regions to decrease weight hence reduce deflection. The reduced with each ring of material removed but up to a certain limit. Furthermore, the exercise was Ostudy r i gshowed i n a l thatDdeflection esign meant to develop an understanding of force flow while designing, to explore an approach to design with structure in mind.

Desining a fun house centred around a climbing wall. Access to rooms and balconies would be non-conventional and fun. The central wall would provide partial structural support to the adjoining floor slabs. However, the wall is envisiaged as a flat one and the climbing hand-holds and foot-holds only appear when the user applies a force to the wall, adding an element of surprise. This is achieved through the concept of buckling.
