Innovation Centre and Nursery Detailed Design - Group Project
In a group of three, one student’s scheme was chosen from the previous module to be developed to a higher level of detail to explore the technical aspects of the design. The two main structures are a steel diagrid for the main innovation block and a double curved glulam roof for the nursery. The concept behind this module was to develop an understanding on how to harmonise two seperate purposes and to meld them into one functioning building

Hinterland Part I - Masterplan The challenge was to envision the future development of an in-between urban land, as a transitional zone between a massive waterfront development project and the inland. The main idea was to maintain the historic street layout and allow existing businesses to remain on the site by means of a Co-operative where each member has a share in the development.
SITE ANALYSIS
EXISTING BUILDINGS RETAINED HARTLEYS NORTHERN WAREHOUSE EXISTING USE: Disused POSSIBLE FUTURE USES: Hotel development under construction - to be retained.
TOBACCO WAREHOUSE EXISTING USE: Disused, large span building with open ground floor POSSIBLE FUTURE USES: Public market space, expo, residential with some kind of atrium to bring light into smaller spaces. WHY?: Due to historical importance and link to dock and waterways/ node point on site BUILDING HEIGHTS 1:10,000 @ A1
[Academic use only]
CONCLUSIONS •
1 to 2 Storey 3 Storey HARTLEYS SOUTHERN WAREHOUSE EXISTING USE: Disused, slightly smaller warehouse alongside the tobacco warehouse with overhead links. POSSIBLE FUTURE USES: Market, residential, retail, college WHY?: Prominence on site linking to waterway as a node point on site
BONDED TEA WAREHOUSE EXISTING USE: Disused, 6 storey building with recessed loading bays. POSSIBLE FUTURE USES: College, advice centre, residential, gateway building WHY?: Retained due to size and prominence on site and the oportunities arising from conversion/ refurbishment.
THE GOAT PUBLIC HOUSE AND CAFE EXISTING USE: Public house and cafe POSSIBLE FUTURE USES: Retained and linked to some kind of pedestrian walkway to Eldonian Village/ public square WHY?: Important link between Eldonian, site and Peel Waters. Public houses have featured on the site for a great number of years.
BOUNDARIES AND PERMEABILITY 1: 5,000 @ A1 Roads Train Line Walls Existing Buildings Retained Possible link to city centre Nodes [Academic use only]
DISUSED RAIL ARCHES EXISTING USE: Storage units, gymnasium POSSIBLE FUTURE USES: Retail to provide/ link to Eldonian VIllage and the proposed business district WHY?: Interest of arches and link to rail heritage, key position between site and Eldonian

High level to the coast with high rise grouped to the south of the site giving precedent for growth in this zone. Low level buildings to the east seperated from the site by the train line which is 3-4 storeys setting a limit for that edge. Plan also highlights less dense massing to the north and south of the site as an area for possible expansion towards the city.
DEVELOPED SITE ANALYSIS - CURRENT INDUSTRY ON SITE
A
“The new development will be great for our ventilation business as we can supply to contractors and local builders, bringing in lots of new work.” “We are keen to stay for as long as possible and think other business owners locally think the same.” “Yes, a CO - OP would be very good as our current building is old and not very economic but we want to stay in the area.”

“We would definitely take a pay out without question because business isn’t going well and I’m over 60 years old, however my 21-year-old son would also take the pay out!” “You have to move with the times and when business is bad everyone wants to leave” “I don’t think the development will happen in my lifetime”

“Lots of businesses locally are closed which can’t be ideal for people trying to sell apartments in nearby tobacco warehouse etc. Local redevelopment is exciting, the whole area between here and the city center needs to be sorted out!”

Hinterland Part II - Stanley Library Leading on from the last project, each student in the group had to decide on a building they were going to develop within the proposed masterplan. One of the key buildings for the entire scheme, which acts as a central pivot of the masterplan is the library building, dubbed Stanley Library after the dock it is located near. It acts as a gathering space for the area, and celebrates all types of media, from film - in its integrated theatre space - books, music and games. It also has a direct access point to the adjacent school to help with the learning of the new generation of children living within the area.

Nijmegan Flood Responsive Masterplan and Housing Proposal Initially this project was undertaken as a group of three, to develop a masterplan for a strip of land, negotiating with students designing adjacent plots. The part of this project sought each of the group to develop a chosen typology within the scheme. I undertook the partial flood typology located along the inlet of water forming a waterside living zone.

Angles are created by the intersection of the two corners of the building. this creates three seperate areas which converge together.
Split levels allow for the occupants to feels closer to the water as they step down in the living areas. Allows kitchen to be used as mooring during a flood event
Concrete plinth protects the timber structure of the floor above from rising waters durings floods.
During flood event shared ‘green strip’ becomes marsh area
