• Eco-friendly and easy to work with.
• High gloss surface to reflect the
• Flexible and durable • Use either a sanding sealer, gel stain or toner when colouring it • A polyurethane coating will be used to protect exposed timber from the elements
structure’s layers and enhance the stimulating experience. • Easy to install and is scratch-resistant.

Existing Building

PART III • • • •
CLT layer segments put together on site to form whole layers in stacks of 6 LED strip lighting is inserted into every 6th layer Starting from the floor and working toward the ceiling, the layers are slowly hung on french cleats and screwed in place Modified stair balustrade is attached to building
Existing roof and ceiling removed in main hallway and foyer area Existing stair balustrade removed Stacks of 6 manufactured CLT layers transported to site (Segmented in quarters due to truck load capacity requirements) French cleat supports secured to existing walls
PART IV • • • •
Modified roof structure is constructed on top of CLT layers in main hallway and foyer area Additional layers are placed above the roof line Exposed timber is directly coated by a waterproof polyurethane coating Custom built glass domes are secured to the top layer to finalise the skylight structure
CONNECTION TO EXISTING BUILDING
FIXTURE: FRENCH CLEAT Supports up to 272Kg with 2 bolts The more bolts added, the more weight it is able to support Basically a piece of timber plank cut at a 45 degree angle in the middle, one part will be screwed onto the wall, the other onto the CLT stacks of 6 as mentioned before.
CONNECTION TO EXISTING BUILDING
SECTION DETAIL SCALE 1:20
CONNECTION TO EXISTING BUILDING STEPS TO CREATE AND INSTALL FRENCH CLEAT
STEP 1. Cut the wooden planks at a 45 angle on a table saw to create french cleats
STEP 2. Drill holes on the french cleats to prepare for the bolts to be screwed in later.
STEP 5. Hammer the expander sleeves of the anchor bolts into the wall.
STEP 6. Screw the bolts with an electric impact wrench into the wall along with the french cleat that its bevel slants toward the wall.
STEP 3. Drill with a mortising router bit using the holes drilled in the previous step as the center, so the anchor bolts could hide in those holes.
STEP 7. Screw the bolts into the stacks of 6 CLTs along with the remaining french cleat.
STEP 4. Drill holes onto the wall to prepare for the anchor bolts to be screwed in later.
STEP 8. Hang the CLT stack onto french cleat on the wall.
PROPOSED ROOF Two different roof shapes preferred in our proposed area • Foyer area: gable shaped roof • Hallway area: flat roof
PROPOSED ROOF SKYLIGHT
DOME SKYLIGHTS Benefits: • More lighting: curvation shape allows to bend the natural light to enter and adds a little extra light within the space • It assists to draw in light from several angles
ROOF MATERIALITY
FLAT METAL SHEET ROOFING
Product information: Stratco cooldek classic Underside: off-white Topside: armour grey Thickness: 100mm Length: available from 120 Meters to 990 meters Readily available
PVC WATERPROOFING MEMBRANE SHEET
DOME SKYLIGHT (SAFTEY GLASS)
Product information: Cosmofin ll pvc sheet membrane
The glass is made from safety glass and it will have custom sizings in accordance to the design preference
Size: Comes in a roll 1.65m x 20m
Safety glass is generally laminated glass made from tempered glass
Readily available
If the glass is smashed the pieces will stick to the interlayer rather than falling to the floor

DIGITAL PROCESS - WALL LAYERS
1. Series of curves created in Grasshopper.
2. Curves offset inwards and rotated.
3. Curves offset outside the wall boundary.
4. Boundary surfaces created.
5. Surfaces split with rotated curves, and extruded to reach above surface.
6. Process completed numerous times with different values for rotation, offset, etc.
9. Extrusions trimmed to fit inside of walls. View - from above, looking down into building.
7. Same process completed for corridor area.
8. All extrusions baked into Rhino.
DIGITAL PROCESS - CEILING LAYERS
1. Steps 1-5 from wall layers completed, except the initial series of curves progress upwards.
2. Multiple series created on top.
3. Boundary surface created on topmost layer, using skylight curves to split surface.
4. Series made from skylight curves using above method, overlapping elements to be trimmed later.
5. Further series produced above extrusion from step 3. These aim light in unique directions.
6. Process completed again with curve from corridor.
7. Step 3 from ceiling layers completed for corridor.
8. Step 4 from ceiling layers completed for corridor.
11. Extrusions trimmed to fit inside boundary. View - standing on floor looking up.
View - from above.
9. Step 5 from ceiling layers completed for corridor.
10. All extrusions baked into Rhino.
