PART ONE STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS; BELOW GROUND

STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS; BELOW GROUND

The site condition affected the construction of the house due to it’s coastal location. As it was constructed on a sand dune the soil quality is very poor and as such the footings had to be dug further down to reach more suitable foundations. The sand also posed a challenge for the excavation of the basement level as the sand had to be battered at a low angle to stop it filling in the hole. This meant that pile retaining walls had to be dug on one side and the neighbours land had to be used on the other.

The coastal locality also meant that galvanised steel needed to be used to prevent rusting from occurring. The building also needed a strong steel frame with adequate ties and strapping to combat the strong coastal winds. These winds also dictated where the open private spaces of the buildings could be located.

CONCRETE STUMPS

Concrete stumps installed to support the timber floor structure (secondary support structure) consisting of the bearers and joists which support the timber frame of the house.

3. TERRAIN

EARTH WORKS

The terrain and slope of the site impacted the construction of the footings as the soil type was sand which has a low cohesion level, causing it to backfill easily.

- Negotiation with neighbours to use their land during excavation

EARTH WORKS

The large slope of the site from front to rear affected the construction of the house as is meant large excavation work had to be undertaken, which was then also affected by the soil classification of the site.

CONCRETE STUMPS

2

Concrete stumps defined the composition of the rear end of the below ground support structure as a timber flooring system was required due to new regulations which prohibited the extensive use of concrete due to thermal performance.

PAD FOOTINGS

Due to the site condition, extensive pad footings with lost form work and reinforcing were required for things such as the external stairs and steel connection points.

PART TWO STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS; ABOVE GROUND The structure defines the composition of the architectural form and space through the limitations of material spans, capacity and sizes. It also dictates ceiling heights and the overall building height as services and structural elements run throughout the frame of the building. Ceiling heights are limited in the upper level kitchen due to the box gutter and bulk head for the kitchen services.

On the other hand the structural systems define the space internally by allowing for expansive open plan rooms without the need for load bearing walls through the use of structural steel.

This alongside large expanses of glass give a feeling of a larger space which is connected to the external views and landscape.

PART THREE INTERNAL (NON-LOAD BEARING) PARTITIONS

INTERNAL PARTITIONS

The internal partitions organise the life inside the building by providing private and public zones through separation. Internal partitions are used to zone spaces based on function and to provide spaces for different household functions. On the other hand, they are removed in areas to create larger open spaces such as the kitchen/ living area. Internal partitions are also used to carry services such as plumbing and electricity as well as conceal appliances such as fridges and telecommunication devices.

External partition walls are clad and cannot be moved as they would compromise the waterproofing of the structure.

Non-load bearing partitions are able to be changed and moved throughout the life of the building as they do not help to support the structure or transfer loads.

Movable pivot flush panel doors are utilised to define spaces in the laundry and powder room, as well as for privacy and sound isolation. In other rooms such as the kitchen open sections in the walls act as thresholds.

NON-LOAD BEARING

Internal partitions conceal areas which are private or are preferably concealed.

PART FOUR ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONS

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONS

The environmental protections of the building were designed to be inbuilt and disguised by the architect. This was done through the use of box gutters being concealed by parapet walls and things such as the external awnings being concealed within the roof. The glazing also makes up a large area where the architect chose to hide the environmental protections of the building, by concealing the waterproofing and whether stripping behind the frame and cladding.

The box gutter, downpipes and roof sheeting are also a part of the waterproofing system as they divert the flow of rainwater, however they are also apart of the buildings physical enclosure system where they are discussed later.

Insulation was utilised in all walls (R3.2 2xR1.6 Bradford Soundscreen batts), between floors (R2.5 Bradford Soundscreen batts) and in the roof (Bradford R4.0 gold batts between rafters) to maintain heat within the building envelope in winter and to also stop heat from penetrating in during summer.

PART FIVE MECHANICAL + ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS

MECHANICAL + ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS

The architect organised the internal spaces to place mechanical and electrical services efficiently by locating key areas above and close to each other. In this case the laundry and plant room sit directly below the kitchen and powder room, all areas of which have a large amount of services running through them. There is also a central telecommunication area located in the kitchen were various communication equipment is located.

These key service areas are also positioned near the lift core and stair well where the riser for the service pipes would be located.

Additional cabling such as data and sound system cables also installed for later connection.

All electrical wiring is connected to the switch board which receives and distributes electricity from the street via the electricity meter. Electrical wires connect to light switches, GPOs and smoke alarms.

PART SIX PHYSICAL ENCLOSURE SYSTEMS The physical enclosures of the building express the internal spaces and materiality through the extensive use of timber and glazing. The timber cladding expresses the materiality of the internal linings, with timber panelling and floor boards being used inside. It is also a natural material, which has been left to weather on the external facade tying the building into its surroundings. The large panes of glass express the large open spaces felt within the building, connecting it back to the surrounding landscape. The structure however has been hidden, with the main structural steel beams being carefully concealed and detailed with cladding.

FLASHING

1

The roof a major physical enclosure system as it diverts water (in the form of rain) off the building.

A box gutter is used to discretely remove rainwater collected on the roof and divert it to the storm water drain via the concealed downpipes.

The colourbond roof sheeting acts as an enclosure to the building, diverting the water into the box gutter.

Flashing was utilised above doors, windows and openings to prevent the creep of moisture into the wall cavities.

3. WINDOWS

EXTERNAL CLADDING

DOUBLE GLAZING

Timber battens and cement sheeting are installed to clad and protect the exterior walls of the building. Sarking is installed behind the external cladding as a moisture barrier.

The double glazing utilised in the windows protect the building envelope from the external elements whilst still allowing for light and views. It also acts as an insulative barrier due to the air gap between the two panes of glass.

WALLS

External walls which are clad provide a barrier between the external elements and inside.
