INTRODUCTION This architecture portfolio includes a selection of my undergraduate university work as well as a few key projects which I have worked on in practice. My experiences have taught me that there is a surplus of creative and technological possibilities in the world. It can be found in aspects of history, theory and design in architecture. During my undergraduate studies, my passions in the above-mentioned aspects were reflected in my achievements, being a recipient of the top student for my studies in 2014, awarded two Deans Merits of excellence and awarded best National Diploma student over 3 years. Architecture has also enabled me to flourish on a mental and emotional level. My aptitude within the field has expanded by gaining work experience at dhk architects. I was able to engage in numerous projects ranging from small to large mixed-use developments. My passions in the built environment have always encompassed the connection that nature has on humans and their behaviour. This involves the relationship that people have through interacting with a site, a certain material, light and dark spaces, small or large spaces as well as the elements that offer sustainable value to communities. This is a similar thread that I had envisioned to create through my work, seen in this portfolio.

CREATIVE LEARNING HUB 4TH YEAR | MAJOR PROJECT Date: Location: Type:

Oct 2016 & Jan 2017 Riebeeck Sqr . Cape Town CBD Institutional

The aim of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Creative Learning Hubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; project is to challenge our preconceptions about how we learn and what kind of learning spaces are required to meet the contemporary needs of students and educators. It is the intention of this project to explore innovative alternatives which respond to the relationship between pedagogy, space and technology. I trusted one of my passions, to design a film institute. The programmatic brief for the institution includes understanding the pedagogic technological and spatial requirements of the chosen program, bearing in mind that the intention of the project is to challenge conventional models of educational spaces. The proposed institution is required to respond to appropriate proposals of urban landscaping, public linkages, economic activities as well as architectural massing. My design intention and methodologies are based around creating an explorative and didactic ground scape environment and structure, capturing deduced emulations of the layers that make up the medium of film. The intention was to create different conditions that allow the students, users and broader public to understand a great measure of intangibles or often immeasurable notions and conditions that are best understood intuitively through experience. As films were made in the early decades, an idea would be to enhance the capabilities of the quality of light that is portrayed along the site and the building. Like light, shadows would be enhanced as a matter in a variety of form; dark areas could percolate both still and moving shadows while other forms could cast vivid and textured ones. The angled wall planes in both plan and section are inspired by the projection of film through the camera, as the light source is refracted off the shutter at angles between 20 and 30 degree towards a surface, which is viewed upon. These angles provide both students and visitors for an intriguing, intuitive and enhanced experience, upon approaching it, from various areas of Riebeeck Square as well as experienced throughout the building itself.

Design Methodologies

1. Push and Pull site massing with a monolithic form

3. Layered building forms above ground and mass underground forms below

2. Carving into the sloping site to allow for ground circulation for users and public

4. Articulating the building mass to allow for vertical and horizontal circulation throughout

The initial architectural phase of development began from identifying the main vehicular route around the site, which influenced the parking entrance to the site along Shortmarket street and pedestrianizing the opposite, less frequent street - church street. The existing church structure was a prominent form that had to remain, and tied into the urban framework. Thereafter key movement axis routes were positioned along the proposed site.

Design stages of Development

The initial phase of development of the structure stemmed from a mass block which was influenced by the angles at which film is projected together with the refraction and articulation of light from a film camera along the shutter. These angles were carved out the mass rectangular block, creating an explorative and enhanced form.

Clear and simple circulation routes were positioned in the building, relative to the axis routes which were created along the Riebeeck Square site. As light and shadows played an important role of film as well as the concept phase, two light shaft atriumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s were incorporated. One of the two being much larger than the other, housing internal vegetation.

Following my design methodologies of a schematic analogy of a film camera, the structures key feature was incorporated, being the outward lens, and focal plane of the building - which protrudes out at an angle and is raised above ground. On the top floor, perimeter vegetation as well as roof gardens were incorporated, creating an inviting experience.

Circulation routes and urban landscaping were positioned together with the building form.

LOTUS PARK 4TH YEAR | PARTICIPATORY DESIGN PROJECT Date: Location: Type:

April, 2016 Lotus Park informal settlement . Cape Town Childhood development Centre

The brief was to design an early childhood development centre in a dense informal settlement in Lotus Park. The proposal had to link with the surrounding urban fabric facilities such as an adjacent sports field, neighbourhood centre and surrounding transport routes. This project focuses on social understanding and tectonic innovation. As such this project aims to expose you to architectural practice in an informal context, where the role of the architectural professional is much broader than in traditional commercial practice. The proposal accommodates indoor and outdoor learning spaces for various age groups of up to 80 children, staff offices, prep rooms and necessary servant spaces. The design contributes to the positive making of quality space, not only for itself but for the area and street that it is situated in. There was a need to exemplify defined pedestrian paved areas and seating hubs around the proposed structure - creating a sense of safety as well as forms of interaction with the structure and community member. Sustainable technologies are employed, including natural ventilation mechanisms, solar energy, a windmill pump and rainwater harvesting tanks. The design technology is mainly labour intensive, to provide work for the local community, comprises of light steel frame structures, which are ideal for further expansion, accompanied by mainly mass monolithic rammed earth walls with intermittent mosaic artwork cladding. In-depth urban analysis of the settlement as well as surrounding transport routes, a narrowed down site breakdown of its edges and nodes and constant meetings with the community members were carried through towards producing a successful project that was presented to VPUU and the members of Lotus Park.

Rammed earth design technicalities: ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFIT CONDITIONS : The massive monolithic rammed earth walls, offer beautiful living environments while providing buildings with valuable thermal mass. The walls contain a fraction of the embodied energy of manufactured wall products such as fired bricks or concrete blocks. No other walling can provide architects with such natural elegance combined with such low environmental impacts. CONSTRUCTION METHOD : Rammed earth structure walls are built as a series of independent monolith panels using pneumatically compacted layers of blended quarry aggregates, cement and waterproofing admixtures. The form-work itself is manufactured using interlocking steel frames faced with either epoxy-coated marine ply or recycled polypropylene panels. A skid-steer loader is used to blend and deliver the aggregates to the in-situ form-work â&#x20AC;&#x153;set-upâ&#x20AC;?, and compaction of each layer is achieved using pneumatic high-speed rammers.

RAMMED EARTH High Thermal Mass Low Embodied Energy High Noise Reduction Airtight Construction Pest Proof Material Structurally stable Regulates Humidity Labour Intensive

STRUCTURAL STABILITY :

Providing Sufficient Overhangs

Rammed earth walls are load bearing so do not require heavy frame works - as such, complimented with an independent lightweight steel frame in the design. The massive structural panels add substantial bracing to the fabric of a building and can withstand significant point loads such as roof and floor beams.

STEEL FRAME STRUCTURE

MATERIALS USED : Locally sourced quarried aggregates which provide the bulk of the compacted density as well as the natural colours and textures of the walls are used. Between 8 to 10 percent of Portland grade cement can be added to provide surface hardness and durability and sufficient water to gain optimum density during compaction. A silane/siloxane aqueous based waterproofing admixture called plasticure which minimizes water penetration and eliminates using external waterproofing coatings and future surface maintenance can also be used. WALL FINISHES : Soft external and internal edges and protected with a clear protective acrylic emulsion coating, which protects the wall, while retains and expresses sedimentary compaction lines that inform a simple and natural texture. Hard edges are protected externally with vapour permeable insulated plastered finishes, as well as insulated rain-screen panels in certain areas. 32

SCULPTED LANDSCAPE 4TH YEAR | CONCEPTUAL DESIGN PROJECT Date: Location: Type:

March, 2016 Three Anchor Bay . Sea Point Public pavillion

The brief was to design a public facility along the Sea Point promenade through a landscape thinking process, employing the sculptural plastic properties of concrete as a robust material to enhance the chosen urban space. The challenges of the project was to work in an existing public space and to redefine the landscape to accommodate a public facility which includes public ablutions, refreshment area, WiFi hotspots, bicycle hire shop, flower seller and performance spaces(s). It was required that concrete be mainly used as a plastic/ sculptural material and to explore ways in which it might define indoor and outdoor spaces, private and public, static and dynamic. The design had to tie into the existing site fabric, while being aesthetically pleasing to the users and broader public. My concept and design was derived from the formation of an exoskeleton structure of the crustacean species, whom live on both land and water. The proposal lead towards taking a segmented form with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;hard shell-likeâ&#x20AC;? homogeneous covering that wraps around the existing Sea Point and 3 Anchor Bay Promenade walkway. The sloped shell-like concrete covering allows the flow of people to walk, run, cycle and skateboard on top of it, in the manner of how a crustacean shell allows water to flow along it, while protecting public services, facilities and people, as well as providing an intricacy of shaded spaces below it.

Transportation routes

The 3 anchor bay site location for the proposed structure is located in a prime spot, surrounded by various apartments, restaurants, and a petrol station. It is also in clear sight of the main road, with an adjacent major intersection heading towards / coming from the Cape Town CBD, as well as routes wrapping around green point stadium, and on the opposite side, towards sea point and camps bay, attracting various patrons, travelling from various points around Cape Town.

The site is positioned in the vicinity of numerous public parking facilities and areas, as well as open and free parking lot adjacent to the site. The design proposal intends to reuse approximately 10 parking bays in that parking lot. There is also a putt-putt area located nearby the site, which will attract many patrons, as well as catch their attention to visit the proposed pavilion.

As the above figure ground analysis indicates, there are expansive amounts of vegetation and landscaping, be it grass planes, shrubbery, trees or planters, surround the site. The intention is to plant more trees, on site, as part of the design concept, as there are not many at the moment. The site also overlooks the stunning 3 anchor bay, with a jetty situated adjacent to the site, that leads to the bay for users to let off canoes or small boats into the ocean.

As the site is positioned adjacent to a pivotal intersection, there are an array of routes suited for vehicular, as well as pedestrian traffic, circulation to and from the site, as well as around the site. The pedestrian routes are suited for people whom are running, cycling, skate boarding or just taking a casual walk along the promenade. There is also a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;my city busâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; stop a few meters away from the site, providing a point of access for those whom it would suit - creating a diverse, as well as easy accessible sense of circulation around the proposed site.

SANCCOB 3RD YEAR | MAJOR PROJECT Date: Location: Type:

September, 2015 V & A Waterfront pier . Cape Town Animal Welfare Rehabilitation Centre

The brief was to design a rehabilitation and rescue centre for the South African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds, SANCCOB. This organization has achieved prestige for their work in rescuing, rehabilitating and releasing back into the wild birds that had either been polluted or harmed. As SANCCOB currently occupy temporary and inadequate facilities, there was a need to design a permanent structure at the tip of the V&A Waterfront man-made peninsula. The site combines features which reflect the raison d’etre for SANCCOB. My core concept was derived from the term Biomimicry, which describes the process of humans borrowing designs and systems from nature to create their own technology. Relating to my design, it is based on a polyhedron structure, comprising of numerous tetrahedron panels along many faceted axis. These panels essentially create five of the individual Geodesic dome structure – Geodesic, meaning “earth dividing” in Latin. Having a site close to the sea shore allows the birds to remain close to their natural environment. The method of design and construction had to relate to the site, to maximize gain from beneficial environmental factors and minimize impact of the sometimes extreme climatic conditions on this site. The structural design itself is extremely energy efficient, as it is able to cover a maximum amount of living space with the least amount of surface area. Due to the strength of the polyhedron structure, the load is distributed along each face of the half-sphere, resulting in open plan spaces without the need for additional central support systems. The 5 domes are clad with concrete foundation panels, varying galvanized aluminum panels, as well as a large amount of ethylene tetra-fluoroethylene copolymer (ETFE) panels, housed in a steel hex framework. Integrated with the sloping landscape, the design sits lightly on the Earth, with internal platforms and ramps raised on concrete piles.

Contextual Locality and Site Plan

Prevailing Wind Conditions The predominant prevailing winds will be from the South- Easterly, as well as lighter winds from the NorthWesterly side. Due to the spherical design structure, it forces the wind to pass and wrap around the masses instead of hitting against solid flat faces. The structure itself resolved this issue, without the need for creating additional wind scoop areas or unwanted and obstructing buffer zones.

Borrowing designs and systems from nature to create our own technology.

Panoramic View The dome shaped structures comprising of translucent and semi-translucent infill panels allow for a unobstructed 360 degree panoramic views from almost every end of the dome structures. Prominent views comprise of Table Mountain, Lions Head, Cape Town Harbour and the iconic Robben Island in the distance.

Singular Approach One of the key elements of the overall scheme is the initial sight & response to the building approach. This was resolved by designing a gently meandering and sloping ramp to accommodate persons on wheelchairs, while they admire the structure as well as the views with seating areas along their slow journey, before puncturing into the structure.

Structural Dome Panels Besides the ETFE translucent panels, there had to be some sort of structural opaque panels, which acted as shading mechanics from the harsh morning and afternoon rays. These panels not only created a mechanism of shade, but also added to the overall architectural aesthetic appeal to the eye, from the external and internal views.

Sloping Topography The dome structures sit lightly on the Earth, as they are integrated with the existing sloping landscape, which also lets the structure sit in contrast with the rest of the rectangular urban buildings. Internal platforms were used as the floor planes, raised on concrete piles to portray an internal floating effect.

Night Coolness after the sun sets is gained by natural ventilation, retained by closing the openings before the day time heat begins to infiltrate.

Internal perspective from educational room overlooking the home pen

Day

A key element was to partially separate many of the servant and served spaces, by raising the served spaces with platforms on piles, and locating the servant spaces below, concealed by the platforms and structures above it. The servant spaces are therefore seen to be the framework of utilitarian spaces that connects, frames, and enables the served space to perform its programmatic duties. The philosophy of servant/served spaces posits that there are two types of space: Ones that have a vital function to perform and those whose job it is to support this first group.

Served & Servant zones

With the dome structure, there had to be a method to control natural ventilation during the day, as well as controlling heating conditions for the public, staff, and most importantly, the birds & penguins. We all know that warm air rises, but a concept was induced to apply a dome top-heat recovery system, which could recirculate the air with a central duct and spate overhead openings, which would save energy and maintain a constant air temperature.

By simply using a different flooring material or surface, the threshold can be created and boundaries, implying a defined change in space as well as a territory being defined.

These are simple objects placed to define an edge, which can include a line of small stones to create an enclosure, as well as columns, sculptures and plinth walls.

Ponds & Openings By subtracting spaces and creating openings in the ground for a reflecting pond, can serve as an attractive, effective and a welcoming threshold to an area.

Work experience

dhk architects Location: Date: URL:

Cape Town, South Africa Feb 2017 - Current www.dhk.co.za

Upon graduating with my BTech Degree, i was offered the opportunity to work for dhk architects, situated in Green Point, Cape Town. I have also been employed at dhk as an intern for the full period of 2014. dhk is one of the largest architectural practices in the country, with a portfolio of work that has garnered international recognition spanning projects across four continents. What attracted me to such a design led multi-disciplinary firm was their approach that covers the full spectrum of architecture and the built environment, from the city scale and urban development, to the individual building and its finer finishing details as well as the overall user experience. dhk believes in a holistic, integrated approach to design. During my employment at dhk this year I have gained invaluable experience working in a motivated team environment; being involved with projects from the clients initial inception and concept stage, preparing design development presentation packages, to tender drawings for estimates, to final issued construction drawings. These projects covered the full spectrum of what dhk stand for, including luxury residential apartments, mixed-use developments, a lifestyle centre as well as a casino. Working and learning from a team not only illustrated how each project involves more than simply designing a building, but it has also demonstrated how creating and managing a construction project is logical, organized, and defined. I have gained invaluable experience at dhk that I believe are of paramount importance in the workplace and in life. All the work included, from conceptual perspectives, 3d views, massing diagrams, drawing details and plans & sections is what I have produced while working on the respective projects, unless otherwise stated.

PROJECT INFORMATION Type: Phase: dhk Team:

Mixed-use Concept (awaiting heritage approval) J. Struwig & V. Parbhoo

Proposed Drostdy Hotel, Bird Street

DROSTDY HOTEL, BIRD STREET ELEVATION DROSTDY HOTEL, BIRD STREET ELEVATION

DESIGN A comprehensive market research which was undertaken revealed that the Drostdy site was desirable for the re-development of a hotel, up to 150 rooms. The re-development of the site includes preservation and restoration of the Drostdy building, while the building remains the defining structure on the site. The balance of the buildings on the site aren’t of any architectural significance and will be demolished to make way for the new hotel development. The proposed design, in accordance with the ‘Stellenbosch Conservation Strategy Development Guidelines’ with heritage restrictions achieves continuity of the typical Stellenbosch streetscape, especially along Bird Street. The street façades are fresh but discreet and creates animated Street activity through the commercial usage. Besides the hotel, the design accommodates for a new public restaurant, small conference facilities as well as retail long Bird Street. The court yard will be for the use of public / hotel functions, with lounges and restaurants spilling out into a landscaped plaza, for private outdoor use. This central space is of importance to mediate between the street building scale and the higher hotel structure to the rear of the site

PERSONAL INVOLVEMENT I was appointed to re-look the initial proposal of the hotel and adapt the entire facade, height and setbacks to conform with the existing contexts, as well as with the heritage regulations. This process included developing and generating the proposed changes in Revit, while generating draft 3d visuals. The generated 3d model was also tested in context, to compare surrounding façades, as well as various view corridors from street view. I was also involved with compiling concept design and development presentation packages for heritage approval and the client. The project is currently in its design development stage, awaiting heritage approval.

The proposed casino is located in a prime position between an existing mall and hotel, with a possibility of future development in the adjacent open land. The free-standing casino aims to accommodate cinemas, restaurants, vehicular display area and necessary back of house facilities on ground floor. Elevators take you up to the first floor, where your casino is housed, with provision for a crèche, ablutions and high-limit area. The client also requested provision for a heli-pad on the roof-terrace, which was an exciting proposal.

The proposed Lifestyle Centre is situated off the N2, within a 45 minute driving distance from the Cape Town CBD. The promising site is located adjacent to Reddam House, and offers stunning views of the mountain Northward to the site and views of the False Bay coast on the opposite end. The scheme aims to accommodate up to 20 000m2 of rentable space on ground floor, with a mix of retail, fast food and restaurants. The first floor houses a gym of 2 000m2 and offices up to 1 500m2, remaining below the 15m high height restriction. The design theme creates open, free-flowing spaces, making use of full-height glazing along the façades, high ceilings and roof canopies as well as the intermittent use of sporadic double volume spaces to allow the permeability of natural sunlight

I was involved with the project during its concept design stage, to its current ongoing design development stage. I had the opportunity to further develop the design 3-dimensionaly in Revit, while gaining design input through working directly with one of the associate directors, Joe Struwig. During the ongoing designing of the scheme, I was appointed to generate various design scheme options, produce numerous draft perspectives for discussion, create area schedules as well as workable parking provision solutions. My skills and knowledge further developed towards generating various presentation packagesfor the clients feedback.

The design intention was to respond to an existingcontext urban morphology, while integrating the architecture into the existing city fabric. The design proposal aims convert the three existing buildings into one development. The ground floor aims to accommodate retail and a car showroom, making full use of the existing car lifts in the Matrix buildings. The rest of the development aims to accommodate up to 140 apartments, a gym for residents, a sky garden, a portion of offices as well as the required basement parking.

BUILDING The urbanMATRIX design informants include promoting active street edges on primary BERGSTAN BUILDING pedestrian routes while resisting blank façades onNEDBANK the ground plane, as well as BUILDING maximising retail street frontage on the ground floor level and promote a quality public realm. Creating additional bulk at the existing Roof levels of the thee buildings as Premium duplexes or Penthouses, while integrating a landscaped Sky garden was also a key factor.

PERSONAL INVOLVEMENT I was involved with the project from the inception and concept design stages. I was in charge of generating an array of site analysis and urban informant diagrams, together with generating mass forms of the existing buildings that we could work with. Precedent analysis and sketch proposals developed thereafter of our intentions of the forms, how we could integrate the existing with the new, possible views obtained as well as rough area calculations of how many apartments and retail units we could accommodate.
