I PLAN TO PROPOSITION A residential housing project ARCH 6112: Design Studio II (2nd yr) Tutor: Magdalena Garbarczyk, Milica Madjanovic & David Chaplin
In this project we needed to consider not only the given orientation, and view shaft direction, but the slope and fall of the land, the access direction and the adjacent buildings; the context. The adjacent houses will most likely have an impact on our design proposition with respect to potential blocking of sunlight and/or views and their ability to overlook our proposed dwelling. Therefore, we propose a design that will solve these issues to create a well suited dwelling for the given site.

The dwelling consists of two bedrooms (one guest/spare bedroom, one master bedroom). The house is designed for a married couple who are both painters, hence the reason for incorporating an art studio space within the dwelling. The home also includes an open living floor plan and serveral outdoor deck areas that can be utilised for entertaining guests, parties, ir a quiet reading space during the evening.

II MIXED-USE HOUSING An urban housing project ARCH 6112: Design Studio II (2nd yr) Tutor: Magdalena Garbarczyk, Milica Madjanovic & David Chaplin
In this project we needed to consider the ideas of residential living in a changing suburban/urban context. The extreme house prices in Auckland suggests that many families will look to new housing development structures as affordability of homes by young couples cannot be achieved. The combinig of resources with parents, either developing existing family sections/sites or combining the purchasing power of an extended family, will become more common. This arrangement could be a return to traditional living with positive relationships developing between grandparents, grandchildren, and the wider family, as both parents of young children will tend to be committed to work.

III HYBRID HIGH-RISE A panuku high-rise project at Onehunga train station ARCH 7111: Design Studio III (3rd yr) Tutor: Chris Murphy, Lucia Melchiors & David Chaplin
The Hybrid High Rise project will required me to explore and resolve programmatic and functional problems found in high rise buildings in dense urban environments and to understand the crucial role of structure and services in the design process. We will do this by designing a high-rise mixed building within Henderson and Onehunga’s town centres. The building will be required to accommodate various functions in a dynamic and creative way while strategically interacting within the urban environment.

IV U R B A N C AV I T I E S A hotel for stranded commuters on Upper Queen Street ARCH 6112: Design Studio II (2nd yr) Tutors: Ainsley O’Connell & David Chaplin Project partner: Alexandra Jucutan
This project requires you to propose solutions for urban spaces that effectively meet the needs of the city’s inhabitants - existing and new - including the marginalised members of our society. So how do I come about a solution to occupy these ‘residual spaces’? I thought about how much time such urbanites would spend in places you are designing for them, such as; what uses might these new spaces support/encourage? What services/amenities can the city provide to maximise use of these spaces? Could these spaces be flexible enough that they can be used or shared by different people or activities at different times of the day? Hence, this project is about ‘dwelling’ in the cavities of Auckland city.

V UNLOCKING HENDERSON A low-rise, high density & mixed-use project ARCH 7111: Design Studio III (3rd yr) Tutors: Yusef Patel, Semisi Portauine & David Chaplin
The Unlocking Henderson design project will require you to investigate Low-rise Highdensity Mixed-use Residential Development, with a variety of unit sizes and types. Mixed-use developments are often strategically located in transit oriented, walkable neighbourhoods, where the new commercial tenants (grocery stores, restaurants, salons, and other retailers) can be woven into the fabric of the existing community. Other than containing a variety of different housing sizes, a mixed-use development can be defined by containing three or more separate functional uses. The studio course will be divided into two groups, with their own individual site. The two sites are contextually linked with their relationship to Henderson Valley Road.
