Homeless Sydney Presentation Booklet
Samuel Massey 3272904
Project Summary Nearly every day we encounter or ignore homeless people, without understanding their origin or plight. Sydney’s homeless population numbers over fifteen thousand, of which 18% are youth. This figure represents a societal failure, and inspired my idea for a socially responsive architectural design. Set in Woolloomooloo, the proposed ‘Street Smarts’ centre aims to provide a facility for homeless youth to find refuge as well as support for a more independent life, with the design being in keeping with the locality. To achieve this goal, I researched barriers experienced by homeless people and integrated my findings into the design. In keeping with the urban feel, a mixed ‘foyer model’ will be adopted for the design and programming. The design consists of three connected building surrounding a courtyard; an adaptive reuse of an existing neighbouring building to the west for public functions, such as community workshops and café/retail spaces; a three storey high hostel, resource and internet lounge, with kitchen and common rooms on the northern side; and a two storey building with meeting, training and clinical facilities, with long term accommodation to the south.

Courtyard - Night Time
underfloor heating has a large area. this allows low grade heat to be sufficient to meet heating demands and heat pumps to operate at max efficiency
ground source heat pump provides space and water heating. electric pump - 1 unit of electricity consumed by the pump, 4 units of heat Is returned total heat demands: 8mwhrs/yr heat pump carbon intensity: 0.11kgco2/kwhr compared to gas: 0.26kgco2/kwhr compared to electric: 0.33kgco2/kwhr
