03 SCHIFFSWERFT DRESDEN

Redevelopment of Schiffswerft dresden

Closed competition| Schindler Seko Architects | worked with: Jan Schindler | Skill: Archicad Summer 2021

Schindler Seko Architects studio was invited to participate in this competition among other 10 famous studios from all over the world. The organizators wanted to explore the possibilities of redevelopment of the former Schiffswerft Dresden territory.

I was engaged in this competition with Jan Schindler. We worked together to develop options initially, and later on, develop further the chosen option, which was an Arches steel construction supporting the offices and open collaboration spaces.

I totally loved this experience, not only because of the exciting task, but also because of a pleasant collaborator Janek Schindler who gave me creative freedom I have never experienced anywhere before.

At the initial stage I developed several volume proposals, however, the version which finally we went for belonged to the senior architect.

Multifunctional Green Residence towers

Competition Entry for HB Reavis Group | Schindler

Seko Architects | worked with: Jan Schindler | March 2021

The competition entry designed two green towers for multifunctional use, including residential, commercial, and Parking.

The design idea was developed by Jan Schindler. My responsibilities were to build the model of one of the towers in Archicad, work on Parking arrangement, visualizations and graphical representation of drawings.

01 STATION BUBNY - PRAHA

Train and cable cars station in Bubny, Praha

Studio Project| Individual | Academic| Supervisor: Henri Achten Summer 2020

The design considers three locations to be connected with point-topoint cable car lines: Dejvická, Letenské Náměstí and Bubny Station.

The three locations are important urban nodes with distinguished functions in the urban structure. Dejvická plays a role of one of the main urban centers surrounded with residential, and multi-functional development including university campus.

On the other hand, Letná Park with its iconic Metronome Tower is one of the main weekend / holiday recreational destinations for Residents of Prague and visitors.

The third location, Praha Bubny is currently underdeveloped. However, the new site development plan which has been approved in 2017 defines the new guidelines aiming to create residential, cultural and administrative development.

The old location of the train station Praha-Bubny retains its function according to the plan.

This particular location became interesting for our design experiment due to following reason:

The existing location has a potential to serve as an urban hub, since the node includes Train Station, Metro Station (line C) and tram station in single location. Adding another, point-to-point mode of connection would make sense not only for the residents of the new development, but also commuters who arrive to the train station via train.

CONTEXT

The general plan of the Railway station is defined by the existing approved site development plan designed by Pelčák a partner architekti. Our design precisely follows those outlines.

The volume is located along the existing railways having entrances on -1 level from the South, and entrances on the 0 (Platform) level to the North and to the Center of the Volume. The North vestibule leads down to the Metro station as well.

The Entrances in the middle of the volume define the walkthrough urban passage as well, connecting streets on west and east.

The concept develops two separate volumes with own structures: The train station and the cable cars station. They are interconnected with vertical communications: staircases and elevators reaching up to the cable cars station from each platform and the street.

The structural decision of the train station is simple: steel framing except those holding the rail way. Under the rail way massive reinforced concrete pillars has been used.

The structure of the cable cars station is as follows: the steel tilted columns together with the vertical communications made up of reinforced concrete play the role of main load bearing structure, on which the steel framing of the cable cars station is hanging.

In addition to the steel tilted columns and vertical communications (staircase & elevators shafts) there are two other massive pillars as well - for holding the cable cars mechanism.

Transformation of Old Culture Hall into Techno Scene and a Community Center

Studio Project| Individual | Academic| Supervisor:

V.Soukenka

Winter 2019

Přibyslav is lacking the reason for young people to be there. Why not try to create a reason, an incentive for them to come?

After careful examination of ideas I decided to offer a function which, potentially, would invite people not only from the local community, but also from other cities of Czech Republic and Europe. I wanted to decide for the function, which would overcome the factor of place and distance.

The design proposes of creating a techno scene in the existing cinema hall, which is underused by now. As a concept, it will be transformed into “Dark” Space, where the main focus will be the full experience of the music itself without any sort of distractions.

Fully taking the space for a new function and giving nothing in return to the locat community would not be fair. The Cultural House hosts all variety of local events, therefore I propose to create additional space, the “White” Space for those kind of activities, including cinema sessions, theater performances, reading, art and craft workshops and small exhibitions.

The “Buffer” Zone between the Dark and White spaces are used for services and storage. Here is also located a small hostel, since the visitors who come overnight must have a place to take some rest after parties and maybe experience the local places around too later.

03 PATH OF LEGENDS

Sequences of Experiences Along the Spiral

Sedhiou Cultural Center in Senegal

Competition Entry | Individual Project

Summer 2018

The nature of the assignment inspired me to build a project upon a poetic concept.

Each legend has its starting point – the actual fact. The stories /narratives are spread in the spatial (over different regions of the land) and time (through centuries and through generations) context creating a spiral-wise development. This path of a single legend was taken as a design concept.

The concept is translated into sequences of experiences in space and time during a day. The experiences start from the “center”, where stories are told and performances take place. The story is afterwards extended into visual (exhibition) and touch(craftsmanship) experiences. To fully obtain the depth of the cultural experience, the kitchen space is designed for cuisine workshops.

Story telling 01

Ground Floor Plan

The plan takes the concept of a spiral as a base. The concept is translated into sequences of experiences, starting from the center - storytelling space and continued with the rest.

Axonometric View

Main spaces are located along the spiral path. The diagram shows the spatial structure of the project.

MATERIALS AND RAINWATER

The design uses only local materials: bamboo, palm leaves, rammed earth and recycled materials, such as tires and wood boxes.

The project idea introduces rainwater harvesting system: the spiral shape palm roof collects the rainwater into an underground reservoir.

04 BACKYARD FOR WINE

Wine Tastes Different When Tasted on Mtatsminda

Wine Store/Bar in Old Tbilisi Building design | Individual Project Spring 2019

This is my first real project, on which I work individually. It was a valuable experience not only from the perspective of design, but also in terms of communication with the client and the municipality.

The client wanted to transform his backyard (located in historic neighborhood of Tbilisi, Mtatsminda Turn #5, Tbilisi) into a place, where people would enjoy Georgian Wine and spend nice time.

Initially, he intended to build only one structure for bar/store on a place of old demolished building. However, during work process we decided for building a winter garden too.

The whole backyard was redesigned - instead of ground now there are pavements and sitting places.

The design is solely based on the concept of simplicity in terms of construction and in terms of materials too.

The client was very happy with the result and we are both looking forward to the end result.

MASTERPLAN | WINE STORE FLOOR PLAN

The design aims to build a new building instead of old semi-demolished one and adds a winter garden, which encloses the existing trees.

05 URBAN ZOO COWORKING SPACES

Creative Cells

Coworking Spaces Modern Design in Existing Building

Individual Project | Beebreeders Competition Entry |

I participated in the international competition organized by Beebreeders in February 2019. The task was to re-design a space for the purpose of Urban Zoo coworking spaces. I researched the topic of coworking spaces and put the research as design foundation.

The research of work spaces showed differentiation in two categories: working mode and function.

Individuals use work spaces in two modes: working in groups and working individually.

The spaces are functionally divided into two categories: formal and informal. In coworking spaces formal and informal activities are equally important.

In both, formal and informal work, the possibility to be left alone or exposition is important. Therefore, the design creates a conceptual “grid” which is an overlap of working mode and functional categories.

individual vs collective work vs relaxation the cages

The individual spaces are located closer to the entrance. Individual work places are along the wall, so that the possibility of distraction is minimal.

Working spaces, including individual, teamwork or meeting room spaces, are clustered spatially. Relax Spaces are designed together.

Spaces are divided conceptually into cages using white marks on the concrete floor representing a footprint of an actual zoo cage.

06 TRAMLANE SHELF HOUSE

What If I Could Take My Home Instead of Moving from It? Right Along The Tram Lane

Transformable Living Design Concept

Individual Project | Ideas Competition Entry

Summer 2018

I participated in HOME competition 2018 with the design concept, which addresses the issue of constant changes in the modern world through the life of millenials.

I tried to imagine, how “home” should respond to life changes. From research and personal experience, major reason of change in living place is linked to the changes in workplace and family needs. The commonly used approach is to find a new place and re-adjust it all the time you move, or pick a permanent living place and accept the necessity of several hours of commuting every day.

With this project I tried to address the negative side of the both options, or, pick and combine the positivity of them. That means to eliminate the need of re-adjusting interior space after moving to a different location.

The design is not fixed. Residents are able to buy and arrange their living units in a way, which is the most convenient for them.

LOCATION AND DESIGN OPTIONS

Structure and Units

The design consists of “fixed” and “mobile” parts. The fixed part is the steel structure -the Shelf, on which prefab units are supposed to be placed. The units are delivered along tram rails, placed on a hydraulic lift platform (which contains a section of the rails too), lifted above and slided along rails on desired “Shelves”.

Units

There are three types of units, which can be placed as single, two and three together in combination. The single unit is designed for starters and students, while the other two options can be used by young professionals or new families.

07 WINERY

Integrating The Hundreds Of Years Of Tradition In Modern Design

Winery in Kakheti, Georgia

Individual Project | B.a Thesis

Spring 2014

The region of Georgia, which I come from, counts centuries of wine-making. The most of the Georgian wine is produced in Kakheti.

Besides the industrial production, a great deal of wine is also produced by households with traditional wine-making methods. The method uses Qvevri - ancient pottery vessel that is traditionally buried in the ground up to its neck, and in which wine is fermented and stored during fermentation process. Fermentation takes place naturally without the addition of nutrients or further interventions for temperature stability.

Pre-design research suggested that in order to keep the quality of wine at highest level, the mechanical intervention through production process (such as pumping) must be minimal. Therefore, the juice is squeezed at the +1 level and let down to the 0 level with natural flow. There it is stored up to 6 months in Qvevris.

After primary fermentation part of the wine is sent to be sold and part of it is taken down on -1 level for secondary fermentation. After 6 months it is bottled and stored Enoteca on -1 level.

Due to enormous interest and development of Wine Tourism in Georgia, the design includes corresponding facilities, such as hotel, restaurant, and conference hall.

01. Grapes are squeezed on level +1

02. Raw juice is brought down with natural flow on level 0 and stored in Qvevri vessels for 6 months for primary fermentation

03-A. Part of the Wine is sold in the wins store

03-B. Part of the wine is brought down for secondary fermentation on level -1 and stored in Qvevri vessels for another 6 months.

04. Wine is bottled and stored in Enoteca on level -1.

05. After 2 and more years wine is sold in the wine store.

09 BLUE APP ANTWERP

Integrating Sustainable Chemistry Labs and Offices in one Building

Petroleum Zuid, Antwerp, Belgium

Job Project | Competition Entry by Proof of the Sum | In Collaboration With: Roy Pype | Worked on: Research, Concept Development, BIM Model, Graphical Representation

Autumn 2017

I participated in development of this project while I was working at Proof of the Sum - Amsterdam based architecture studio mainly focusing on projects involving the concept of knowledge sharing. I was working on research at first, and then on design as well - including participation in concept development, building Archicad model and creating final graphical representation for competition entry too.

The competition was organized by University of Antwerp. The land plot is located on an area which is being redeveloped in the framework of Blue Gate Antwerpen. The former Petroleum Zuid, which was the first port location and was hosting leading petroleum importer companies of the 19th century, is being converted to the hotspot of sustainable chemistry now and is going to be a host of numerous laboratories, incubators, and research facilities focusing on sustainability.

The design integrates laboratories and offices working in the field of sustainable chemistry under University of Antwerp. The ground floor hosts a double hight laboratory space with heavy facilities and accessibility for material transportation.

The upper floors host offices and smaller labs on an open plan to maximize the interaction between professionals.

10 LIBRARY VELDHOVEN

Transformation of a Library into Music School

Architecture Internship Project | Design by Architecten|en|en

Worked on: Revit Model and Design of Furniture

Autumn 2016

I participated in this project as an intern at Architecten|en|en. It was an interesting project, since the assignment was to locate music school and a library in the same building. Box in Box design concept for sound isolation was used to achieve this goal.

As an intern, I assisted senior architects in creating the Revit model for existing and new situation, for which I used phasing concept for the first time. I also proposed several options of furniture design.

New Situation Plans

The library is designed in an open space concept, while the studios for music school are isolated from it with soundproof “Box in Box” design principle.

Impressions

Library open space and an “amphitheater” for musical events
