MATTHIEU BEGOGHINA PORTFOLIO
About Me I am a qualified French Architect with more than six years of Australian and international experience on large scale mixeduse, commercial, office, residential, educational, civic, hospitality, and cultural projects as well as design competitions. I’ve worked locally from concept to 80% design development, liaising with consultants on masterplans and on residential, mixed-use, childcare and swim school projects. I have skills to work independently but I’m yearning for more practical and design mentorship to become a better architect and designer. I am always enthusiastic to work in a great team. The Asia Pacific has always fascinated me ever since I was a kid and, as soon as I got my Master’s Degree in Architecture in France, I decided to venture to this side of the world. In 2013, I got an opportunity to work in the Philippines in a young, local architecture firm that became one of the top 10 firms in the country. I drove myself and my team to produce a more humanistic architecture, from a mobile library that helps illiterate street children and promote the importance of public spaces, to a bridge that greatly improves the mobility in the congested capital region. I’ve also became part of the first architecture festival of the country to share this experience. My time in the Philippines was full of opportunities to improve the quality of life of the people and this is what truly matters to me. I moved to Australia early 2018 with my partner who studied a Master in Urban Design, and I am currently tutoring undergraduate and postgraduate architecture students. I am now on the look for a firm to continue to develop my knowledge and skills, bringing in with me my past six years of experience.

This page: The Frame from Lonsdale St. [Render by: ARM]
The Frame is an office tower that will sit above the Melbourne Central shopping centre in the CBD. Sitting along the complex street edge of Lonsdale Street, it is Melbourne’s first timber-framed commercial office tower. The use of timber for the office spaces was intended to appeal to a different type of worker and a different type of company that sees the wellbeing of employees as a must. The project will include two storeys of retail and food spaces directly connected to the existing mall. On top of these, the rooftop will serve as a transition level between the retail floors below and the office floors above. This new rooftop section, the Skylobby, would not only give a range of different food and retail offerings for workers employed in the adjoining offices, but is also conceived as a piece of social infrastructure that could be used by other people in the city. The outdoor component of the Skylobby is a series of green spaces that are not only for workers but for anyone at all providing not only retail and dining but also entertainment and relaxation spaces. The 10-storey office building of about 20,000 m² is made of cross-laminated timber, a factory-manufactured material. Manufactured timber is lighter and more sustainable than other timber, so it minimises construction time and waste. The CLT
structure of the office will be emphasized through the glazed façade that surrounds the building. The main challenge of the design is to work with the existing Melbourne Central shopping centre that will also stay open during the construction. The circulation of the different users is carefully planned to work within these constraints and to complement the mall with new indoor and outdoor spaces to help connect the people to the city. The Frame will also be a sustainability role model with a 5-Star NABERS Energy and Water rating, a 5-Star Green Star rating, and a WELL Gold Standard. My involvement in this project was mostly in the documentation from 50% to 80% of the Design Development in Revit. I worked mainly on the coordination with the structural and mechanical consultants, on the core adjustments and fire proofing, reflected ceiling plans and tenancy plans. I also worked on ceiling details, stair details, tower core details, as built and demolition drawings.

Launch Housing is a new social housing in Dandenong for families victim of domestic violence. The client, Launch Housing, is a Melbourne based, secular and independent community agency whose mission is to end homelessness. Housing is a basic human right that affords people dignity: everyone has a right to a home. With the help of government and private funding, Launch is moving forward on this apartment complex in Dandenong. This particular project aims to cater to families that need to escape domestic violence. The families would be staying in the building for about a year, while looking for a safer environment for their future. The sad and particular condition pushing the users to move to this social housing lead the basic concept of the project to be about home and warmth, providing an extension of a home where the residents can feel safe and supported. Creating a strong sense of community is a focus of the building, encouraging interaction and sharing between the residents.
at the centre next to a Kids play area, both opening to an outdoor terrace. The apartments located on the upper floors are compliant with the Better Apartments Design Standards. The building is composed of multiple unit sizes, ranging from studios to 4-Bedroom apartments. Some of apartments are dual keys, allowing the flexibility to combine a studio and a 2-bedroom into a 3-bedroom apartment. My involvement in this project was to set up the project in Revit from scratch until the production of the Town Planning Package. I worked on the layout of the building and apartments, the DDA compliance of the spaces, the coordination with consultants. I was the sole Revit documenter on the project, modelling the project, creating the views, schedules, sheets and view templates for the town planning package. I also created multiple families to help with the layout of the units and with the management of the project.
The Ground floor hosts the community space that is separated into multiple smaller rooms. These rooms offer different activities and ambiances to cater to multiple uses. A community kitchen is located

Manila 2016 We all know Manila for different reasons, but the ones that majority shares are negative. Today, Manila is known for its lack of affordable housing and vast areas of informal settlements, inefficient public transportation system that leads to an average travel time of 80min per trip, vulnerability to natural disasters such as flooding and earthquake, and the most prevailing of it all, the legendary traffic congestion voted to be the worst on earth. Manila 2030 Nevertheless, with the help of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the Metro Manila Dream Plan for 2030 is created to improve Metro Manila’s interlinked problems in transportation, land use and environment. In the bigger scale, the Dream Plan emphasizes the development of new economic centers North and South of Metro Manila, by moving the cargo-handling function of Manila’s port to Batangas and Subic and transferring NAIA to Cavite. On the other hand, at the scale of Metro Manila, the Dream Plan proposes to redevelop the road network in a “ladder form” and to complete the missing link between NLEX and SLEX. A North-South
Commuter Rail will be developed from Malolos to Calamba together with a Mega Manila Subway between San Jose Del Monte and Dasmariñas. However, considering the projected population of Metro Manila is expected to increase by 35% by 2030 and almost double by 2050, this Dream Plan doesn’t seem to be enough. Furthermore, looking at the historical urban growth of Metro Manila and its growth rate averaging 800% every 50 years, limiting the expansion along the North and the South inhibits the future development of the capital. As we take a look to San Francisco and its Bay, we can see an undeniable similarity in conditions with Manila. Yet, San Francisco developed itself around the Bay and is now famous for opposite reasons: its Victorian Housing, its Cable Car, Silicon Valley and the Golden Gate. Why not get inspired by the development of San Francisco and imagine how Metro Manila could evolve? Why not use our environment as an asset and develop West around Manila Bay? Manila 2050 To not make the same mistakes, the first step would be the creation of the backbone of transpor-

tation around Manila Bay. This backbone would be composed of a Highway and a High Speed Train that would link the different cities. Manila, the new Airport, Naic, Corregidor, Balanga, Hermosa and Malolos would be closely connected with the loop around the Bay taking only one hour. By creating a direct link between Bataan and Cavite, the highway would be the perfect opportunity to create a bypass connecting North and South while avoiding Manila. The Backbone would accelerate the development of satellites cities and, at the same time, emphasizing the polycentric development encouraged by JICA. These cities would be able to host some functions of Manila, attracting BPOs, universities and even government offices. With its functions scattered in the nearby cities, Manila will be able to regenerate itself without compromising its development. In this setting, our project will focus on the link between Bataan and Cavite, on the bridge creating our Journey by the Bay. This link will connect the two sides of Manila Bay with a 22km long bridge, passing through the island of Corregidor. For the concept of the Bridge, we used its context as basis: the relation with the mountains, the skyline of Manila that the bridge is facing and the historical relationship with the sea which is particularly important in that area.
These elements relate to each other in matter of structure, direction and composition. While the perception of the boats keeps on evolving following the will of the sea, the mountains play with light and shadows to emphasize depth and the Skyline defines a new relationship, almost hierarchical, between the buildings. We developed the bridge with these considerations in mind. First, different structures were scattered along the span. Each of these structures develop their own variations like Galleons traveling along the bay. Then, the size of the structures is adjusted around Corregidor as we want the island to be the focal point in that area. To counterbalance that action and to emphasize its relationship with the surrounding mountains, we developed the part of the bridge next to Cavite to be more vertical. We added a tower, a revisited version of a lighthouse, emphasizing the historical relationship of the Filipinos to the sea while symbolizing guidance for the years to come. The refined version highlights this variation of towers, this collection of individualities, like a mirrored version of the skyline on the other side of the bay.

Binondo is one of the oldest districts in Manila and is particularly known for being the world’s oldest Chinatown. Between Spanish, British and American invasions, Binondo was destroyed and rebuilt multiple times over the centuries, and only few traces of the history of the place are found within the district. Designing a building located along the main street of Binondo, Ongpin Street, is also making us think about the heavy history that took place in this location and how we could develop a building that embraces its root in the local culture and also helps strengthening the identity of the surrounding neighborhood. Binondo’s most successful time was during the 40s with many of the main entertainments of the city taking place along Ongpin Street. We decided to pay
homage to this era by creating a building that would, on its lower floors, redevelops a contemporary interpretation of this type of Art Deco buildings that were composing the street. The building itself is a 40-storey high-end residential tower with a really small street frontage of about 10m long. The whole site is really small and has an odd shape so the process was really intricate, going back and forth between the different engineers and us. It took many months to set up a base core and column location, that still had to evolve along the course of the project based on the existing conditions.

The Playground Option 1
The Playground is the first of the two proposals for a retail development in Lima, Batangas. As asked by our client, a football field following the international standards of FIFA need to be included. This football field became the focal point of our proposals. In this first option centering the development on the retail experience, two possible locations stood out, which one with its own advantage and disadvantage. Instead of choosing one, we decided to propose a small field next to the main road that could also be used by the shops for demo, and one big field at the back for professionals, making the development entertaining for everyone. The location of these fields led to the creation of our main avenue that also frames the nearby Mt Makiling. The outlets spread on each side on this main spine, following an inner loop inside of the development. To contrast with the linearity of the project, the proposed design of the buildings brings a more active elevation by integrating a second level, matching the elevation of nearby structures. A forest of canopies grow on the open areas to provide shades and rain protection along the development.

The Arena Option 2
In this second option, the football field itself became the central part of our proposal. The planning process was inverted, starting from a plain block and then subtracting instead of adding. The site is divided into an orthogonal grid of 3x3 clusters, emptying the middle one for the field. Each cluster is slightly reshaped to create a more interesting composition and to also provide a small field in the development. Some internal streets are added inside of the clusters, protected by a colored canopy. The color varies for each cluster, that would also represent the segregation of the shops inside of the development. To really give emphasis to the football field, the area was depressed, allowing the creation of bleachers on both side, while making it more visible from the circulation. We proposed to add an Arena, a second floor overlooking the field while giving an iconic feature to the project. This second floor would host some additional bleachers and the different restaurants of the development.

The Outlets
Based on option 1 The final masterplan was based on the first option, creating a main avenue on the middle of the development that leads to the two football fields. A lower ground floor was developed on the left part, leading to some event areas surrounded by restaurants. The design of the buildings was redeveloped based on the comments of the client, with a play of wood and concrete, bringing a warmer feeling for the retail experience.
We spent a lot of time on the design and scale of the streets. We took inspiration from older streetscapes around the world to carefully dimension our street, allowing the creation of a peaceful human experience. The project was divided into 3 phases of construction, with the first one actually on-going. It is scheduled to fully open by end of 2019.

What is mixed-use? We tend to define mixed-use as a building which is hosting multiple uses. Retail on the lower floors, offices in the middle, condominiums on top. But even with this kind of buildings, the uses are predefined. The mixed-use lost its flexibility. At the same time, retail is evolving. What were before small shops scattered around the city can now spread on multiple floors. Offices also are changing. Their scale is varying from small shared space for a startup to sizes that can compete with entire malls. How can we provide a space that can accommodate this difference in needs? More importantly, how can the space we provide stay relevant over time? From these questions, we started to look for a form that could accommodate such a flexibility. We looked around us and we saw that most of the building in the area are fighting for height. If we want our building to be successful as a mixed-use development, it needs to stand out from the crowd, to draw people to it. Then the answer came, almost too simple. Standing out by being simple. After a lot of iterations, we design our project as a simple cube. This simple shape would ensure its uniqueness in the area, it would be friendlier to surrounding buildings by minimizing its vertical footprint and the big floorplates would allow a high flexibility.
The whole project revolves around the idea that almost every floor could evolve. You could find an office spreading on 2 floors of building, one floor being half open spaces, one other floor being a mixed of small offices, retails and restaurants. Even the parking could host some games or events at night, when the space is less used. We expect that the mixed-use would be like a gradient inside of the building, with most retails on the lower floors and most of the offices on the top floors, but with more interesting intermediate levels. The building would almost act like a small city. To sustain such a big floorplate, the building develops a central atrium that runs from the roof deck to the parking floors. We envision this atrium not just a way to bring light, but as a lively space that also connect the different floors. It is a meeting spot where people could take a break in cafÊs, restaurants and recreational areas. The façade is composed of an inner layer of insulated glass and an outer layer of ETFE, that would allow the regulation of sunlight. Some parts of the façade are more open to provide additional open spaces inside of the building. The roof deck of the building is envisioned as a recreational area. Designing this roof as a park would not only provide people an alternative area to have a break, a picnic or a stroll, but it would also provide a extended garden for the people living in the surrounding buildings.

OF THE HUTONGS
have an undetermined future
As we start retracing the story of Hutongs, we can find what a typical layout looked like.
China as one of the earliest civilization of the world, hosted an undeniably unique traditional architecture, a reflection of the country’s colorful history and culture. Notable as the world’s second biggest economy and the world’s most populous state, China despite its fast modernization has able to keep its intangible and built heritage and one of these are the Hutongs. The Hutongs are narrow alleys originally formed through the divisions among courtyard houses that surrounded the Forbidden City. Over the years, the Hutongs and Courtyard Houses have become the dwelling of Chinese culture. Even contemporary Chinatowns all over the world have a commonality recognized with replicating the idea of the hutongs and, to some extent, the courtyards. Beijingers have been saying: Today, the single family house has became a community; the courtyard house evolved into a courtyard building.
“If there are no more Hutongs, there will be no more Beijing.” The conservation of the Hutongs is essential to preserve the authentic Chinese culture and history but only half is under conservation area. To be able to truly keep the Hutongs relevant with contemporary times, we believe in regenerating and integrating new ideas to create a more interesting perspective on the Hutongs and the culture it gave birth to.
The idea is to bring back the courtyards and give them to the community; to open up and revive the now closed and crowded layout of the Hutong; and to create a network of public spaces that will give a new ground for the community.
It is crucial in developing such an idea that the essence of the Hutong is kept intact. It is also important that we are able to highlight the Hutongs as a contemporary space for Beijing today. The selected site is found within the second ring-road of Beijing at about 2 km from Tiananmen Square. The site has been irremediably altered due to the construction of new developments and infrastructures. Despite these alterations, some typical Siheyuans are still distinguishable against the newer developments. Historically, the Siheyuans were designed and built to house a single family. Over time, many Siheyuans were converted to house multiple families, leading to today’s overpopulation in residential courtyards. The single-family house has turned itself into its very own community; the courtyard house evolved into a courtyard building. Throughout this changing process, people have forgotten that Hutongs are actually a big part of the Chinese culture and history and that a courtyard can be a nice place to live in.
Proposed Masterplan [Role: layout + render]
Proposed Masterplan [Role: layout + render]
This leads us to the following questions about the future of the Hutongs beyond their established but diminishing influence. What if courtyards become part of neighbors’ everyday life? What if we could show a different point of view on the old Beijing? Our idea is to bring back the courtyards to the community. We plan to open the closed and crowded layout of the Hutong, to create a network of public spaces that will introduce a new common ground for the community and to re-envision the Hutong as a whole, as a Courtyard City.
In order to not make these interventions isolated and limited to specific areas, we decided to link each space. This way, the regeneration can radiate between public spaces, affecting more areas for revitalization. We decided to use these links as the new defining element of the area and to literally give a new perspective of the Hutongs. Instead of creating typical enclosed alleys, our idea is to create an elevated walkway as a way to emphasize the regeneration process. This way, the people can get a new experience of the Hutongs and literally broaden their perspectives.
To apply these concepts to our site, we first needed to examine the existing layout to identify the boundaries of the properties of the whole study area. Based on an aerial photograph, we were able to identify the Siheyuans from the other buildings and from there, we selected about fifteen courtyards spread out in the study area to be accessible as public space. The selected areas were based on each Siheyuan’s location, size and proximity to institutional and educational buildings.
These elevated walkways, dubbed as the “Silk Road” of the development, weaves as a continuous link. It will spread out along the entire network, allowing the people to appreciate the Hutongs on a higher ground level. By using the public courtyards as nodes of the pedestrian network, we ensure a high connectivity and visibility of the whole project along with opening the crowded layout of Hutongs.

What makes a great building an icon? It’s not just the architecture. It’s the way it relates to its surroundings and interacts with the people, the memories it creates, and the ideas and actions that it inspires.
Domes have historically served as symbols of authority since Roman times. Authority, devoid of raw brute power, but empowered by humanist wisdom and rational thought. We have reconstructed the dome to be symbolic of our archipelagic nation by designing a series of connected domes that would create a truly striking and unforgettable structure. Each dome houses an atrium that serves a division of the Supreme Court. These domes are then linked by
a main court that serves as a connecting element, a separation barrier, and an organizing space. In planning the Supreme Court, we have traced the history of courthouses, to lords’ courts and to courtyards, and used this memory and identity of an open public square as the main organizing system for spaces.

What makes a great building an icon?
These courts are defined by walls which are currently the strongest physical features of the site and its neighborhood. We have used this harsh and dividing element and reimagined it as a connecting feature instead of a barrier. The articulated walls come together to create the courtyards that connect the people inside the Supreme Court. They also form the Justices Path which connects the residential and commercial halves of Barangay Pinagsama and finally make it into a truly united community.
The Supreme Court Complex is not simply about architecture or even the court itself. It is a representation of justice and the law that defines who we are as a people, and how we are as a society – our values, passions, and goals. We have always been a compassionate and richly diverse people. We strive to express ourselves and connect with each other. The Supreme Court should uplift the community by healing the slashing barriers that divide it. This is an idea so simple, coherent, and inevasible, that one could hardly imagine any another rational alternative.
The Supreme Court has allowed all these ideas to come together to create a truly iconic landmark with an incredible silhouette. As these ideas expand to inspire the city and the nation in the very public endeavor of nation-building and active citizenry in the coming decades, that is something we can truly look forward to.
We have reimagined the Supreme Court as a uniquely Filipino icon. It is a structure that presents authority, a reflection of justice and the law tempered by wisdom and compassion. It is the gentle Filipino – an icon singular in its simplicity, enriched by its diversity, unbridled in its purpose, with which we seek to redefine the future.

Sustainability is achieved within the site and the structures, through a holistic approach which integrates the ecology and landscape, water and energy systems, and building design and technology. This process aims to foster a mutually beneficial relationship between the site, its functions and the people it caters to, through a design that ties together the landscape, the site, the infrastructure, the architecture and the community.

TAAL VOLCANO +
Welcome to Tagaytay. Tagaytay is a city well known in the Philippines for 2 main reasons. The first one is the climate, cooler than in the surrounding cities (including Manila), driving people there for a weekend getaway. The second is the incredible view the city has to offer on the Tall lake and volcano that transformed the city into a prime touristic destination, attracting tourists from all over the world. Sadly, the city itself exposes a dichotomy between what people came to see and what it offers. Most of the city is developed along one main road (that actually loops all around the Taal lake), bringing hotels and retails on the prime spots. All these buildings that developed there because of the view ironically end up hiding the view from the road. Being on the main street makes it hard to have even a glimpse of the Volcano.
We got the opportunity to design a hotel and residential complex in Tagaytay. We believe that developing a project in such a setting is about working with the roots of the city and its context. One aspect that drove our attention was the mist that often appears in the area. When he warm and humid air gets cooled, it creates this enchanting atmosphere that emphasizes the background by concealing the foreground. We used this idea to approach our design, giving the project a different relation with its surroundings. It would disappear instead of impose, merge with the background of Tagaytay and emphasize the experience of the place.

1| The clubhouse as link between the sites providing an elevated view to the Taal Volcano
2| The hotel terraces integrated in the site providing a common public space
3| The residential area define an new topography leading to an uniformity in the development
The whole proposal is based on this idea of having the landscape as main feature, as it is the primary reason why people are going to Tagaytay. Nevertheless, we still wanted to provide an element that would be recognizable from the street, that would increase the hotel visibility even with our disappearing concept. The clubhouse, hosting events and meals offered by the hotel, was the perfect fit for this location. It is the best way to showcase the hotel and at the same time, the location offers a striking view by being the highest building of the development. The clubhouse was elevated to maintain a view from the street and still give an iconic feature to the project. From that, the hotel is directly integrated in the mountain, taking advantage of the slope to propose different levels of terraces, each one offering a direct view to the lake. A residential part is developed one the other side of the lot, this time defining its own contours to complement the surrounding topography.
4| Reinforcing the development as a landscape setting by scattering traditional houses on the hilly area
This project relies a lot on the landscape, leading to a minimalistic approach of the architecture. Each roof becomes a terrace, a place where people can take a stroll, enjoying the view and the cool weather. The amenities are scattered in different parts of the development to invite users to discover the hotel and the different views it is framing. The experience of the users is the main focus of this project. The lac Taal and the surrounding mountains becomes part of the architecture, allowing them to fully appreciate the wonders of Tagaytay. This project is a reflection about the link between architecture and the city. How do we want our
This image: Clubhouse [Role: design + render]
cities to grow? How do we propose not just independent buildings, but ecosystems that give back to their context? It doesn’t have to be just about sustainability or energy; architecture can complement the city in a lot of different ways. The buildings we design are affecting the life of everyone, not just users. In this case, the idea was simple. We just wanted to provide people what they were coming for: the view. Doing so would also enhance the city because instead of having a main road surrounded by enclosed development, you could have instead a city that opens itself to its surroundings.

This page: The Power Plant as a landscape feature [Role: design + render]
Nowadays, power plants have been under a lot of scrutiny from the general public. With all the evidences of climate changes and with the numerous international accords about pollution reduction and eco-friendliness, building a power plant is not seen as an engineering problem anymore. Rightly, people and governments are looking towards a cleaner and healthier environment while also expecting a continuous energy supply that ceaselessly increases. While phasing out the Hsinta Coal Power Plant is a necessary move people will agree on, replacing it with a Gas Power Plant that is also a pollution emitter instead of a green energy facility might also be criticized. The goal of this project is not to build a power plant, it is to promote and emphasize the long-term vision of the country and the steps taken towards an eco-friendly future. To that end, we envisioned the Hsinta Power Plant to become an energy showroom, where some other modes of generating energy are exhibited. While a main power plant building would take care of the generation of electricity, we could take advantage of the size of the site to showcase some other methods envisaged by the company to produce sustainable energy. Some solar panels are already part of the site, so we are planning to extend this area to match our landscape. Some solar thermal
panels could also be added to help provide hot water in the premises and to show that solar energy can be used differently. We are also proposing to locate some Windmills, some Molten Salt Energy Storage and perhaps some tidal energy generators as well. The goal would really be to demonstrate different systems and how they could influence the future energy generation of the country. The project could also develop a research facility for energy generation on the current Hsinta Coal Power Plant once decommissioned. Planning a Gas Power Plant next to the sea is probably a good technical decision but creating such a huge facility in a horizontal and uninhabited area brings challenges on the urban scale. The traditional and efficient layout of such a power plant creates a discontinuity with the local environment mostly composed of salt field wetlands and 1 to 2 stories residential houses. The envisioned design of the project takes inspiration from the misty mountains around Tainan and the shape of the salt mounds common in the surroundings. The three power generation “mountains� become, at the same time a way to: produce energy, a protection for the other buildings and a symbol of nature and life. They use materials, colors and textures common in the region, allowing them to be anchored in their context.
