Transcendence: A Spiritual Haven Connecting Life and Death

This project was nominated for the Architects’ Journal Student Prize at Part 1

This project is about spirituality connecting life and death. The design for this community centre welcomes all individuals of all abilities and backgrounds to enjoy and gather. Located in Lisbon on a highly topographic site, each contour has a threemeter drop. The focal point of this design is the church. Clad with zinc and timber, the church’s interior exposed beams evoke a welcoming, warming atmosphere for guests. The skylights provide an abundance of natural light, just one way in which this design is sustainable. The site is located close to a graveyard. I wanted to create a spiritual connection between the community centre and the graveyard, therefore a nature trail has been implemented into my design, offering a peaceful and tranquil journey between the two locations, also attracting local wildlife. Meditation was something I thought was important when designing this building, therefore, I implemented the use of biophilic design as much as possible in order to create a highly relaxing space. A continuous wall design connects the rooms on different contours and helps to create flow and continuity within the community centre. The wall guides users around the building and offers solar shading. Sustainability is at the heart of this design, with all materials being sustainable and recycled choices. The meditation pool located on top of the rooms of the lowest contour provides water cooling and collects rainwater. This design is a spiritual journey as there are two entrance points to the building, meaning you can walk through the entire scheme and also directly access the graveyard, delivering a connection between life and death: the juxtaposition of the eternal nature of the graveyard and the connection with the vibrant community center, incorporating elements of spirituality, nature, and the surrounding environemt.

Personal Project

For my personal architectural project, my vision was an Urban Connectivity Hub. The primary objective was to address the growing need for sustainable and interconnected urban spaces. This design reflects my contemporary approach to architecture, emphasising sustainability, adaptability, and community engagement.

Design Concept:

The Urban Connectivity Hub integrates green design principles and renewable energy sources. The building incorporates vertical gardens, vegetable patches, biophilic design and rainwater harvesting systems to minimise its environmental footprint. This building is a mixed-use space with the community at the heart of the design.

the Local Authority, alternatively the mix could be changed to allow space for bin stores on the upper levels alongside the lift and stair core. We assume that refuse would be collected from the road to the North by just pulling up. This isn’t ideal as it would block the road. Advice would need to be sought from the Local Authority refuse and highways departments.

HAPPI PRINCIPLES

All apartments are well lit benefiting from daylight for part of the day. There are windows at the ends of the corridor for the double banked section of corridor to provide light, ventilation, and a view out. The apartments have been

There are also services and storage areas including: scooter store, plant space, comms room, cleaners store and service risers. The communal room is located on the corner of the building facing both roads. This is beneficial for visibility but doesn’t benefit from access to the south facing garden. PARKING New car park including 17 spaces (two of which are disabled accessible). This is 77% provision at 2 storeys and 50% provision at 3 storeys. REFUSE Internal refuse stores are provided behind the lift or directly into the central store at ground floor located near the entrance. We assume that refuse would be collected from the road to the North by just pulling up. This isn’t ideal as it would block the road. Advice would need to be sought from the Local Authority refuse and highways departments. HAPPI PRINCIPLES All apartments are well lit benefiting from daylight for all or part of the day. The north facing corridor has windows facing the car park, so this section of circulation is also well lit. There are windows at the ends of the corridor for the double banked section of corridor to provide light, ventilation, and a view out. The apartments have been designed to the Building Regulations Part M category 2: Accessible and adaptable and will allow residents to age in place. A lift is provided for ease of accessibility. All ground floor apartments will have direct access to the garden. It is assumed that all upper floor apartments will be provided with a balcony (not indicated). POINTS TO NOTE We have assumed that we can bring an access off the road to the left of the site. This will means removing 2 layby parking spaces which we have not re provided. A discussion with the Highways department early on will be important, both to ascertain the best entry point for providing parking and to determine the number of spaces required. The locations of the existing trees shown are indicative only. A tree survey will be required to ascertain their quality and root protection zones. This layout will mean the loss of two trees. Compensatory planting to be provided (not indicated). The building is at maximum travel distances (fire safety) for two staircases. We have located the stairs adjacent to the highway to allow the fire appliance to get as close as possible to the building. The stair to the south would be accessed from Egerton Street which is one-way. This is not ideal. Advice about the fire strategy to be sought from a fire specialist to firm up the design.

designed to the Building Regulations Part M category 2: Accessible and adaptable and will allow residents to age in place. A lift is provided for ease of accessibility. All ground floor apartments will have direct access to the garden or a patio area. It is assumed that all upper floor apartments will be provided with a balcony (not indicated). ISSUES We have assumed that we can bring an access off Bentinck Street to the north of the site. This will means removing 5 layby parking spaces which we have not re-provided. A discussion with the Highways department early on will be important, both to ascertain the best entry point for providing parking and to determine the number of spaces required. The locations of the existing trees shown are indicative only. A tree survey will be required to ascertain their quality and root protection zones. This layout will mean the loss of two trees. Compensatory planting to be provided (not indicated), however there is plenty of space to do this an uplift the site and surrounding area. The private amenity space for the apartments is limited to a margin around the building rather than one central space. This isn’t ideal, but the east facing apartments benefit from visual amenity of the tree planting in the verge on Egerton Street. The west facing apartments similarly will look out on tree planting for the most part. The building has three staircases. We have located the stairs adjacent to the highway to allow the fire appliance to get as close as possible to the building. The stair to the south would be accessed from Egerton Street which is one-way. This is not ideal. Advice about the fire strategy to be sought from a fire specialist to firm up the design.

A discussion with the Highways department early on will be important, both to ascertain the best entry point for providing parking and to determine the number of spaces required. Ideally, we would provide and justify 50% parking for an older person’s apartment building. We are very limited on space. If 50% provision is required, we would need to move the building down and potentially revert to the option 1 layout. The locations of the existing trees shown are indicative only.
