Design Development: Week 13

Final Floorplans: Regular Apartments

Following on from the revised floorplans made in weeks 9 & 10. revisions were made to the external circulation and and lightwells allowing for more natural light and air to flow through the central atrium, this resulted in changes made to the entrances and corridor layouts within the eastern side apartments and the repositioning of the lift and stairs resulting in a larger atrium space.

Interior

Precedents: Northern Hospital Stage 2 Extension, Epping VIC, Lyons.

Exterior Schemes

External Shading

Precedents: Hohlstrasse 560 by Romero Schaefle Partner Architekten AG, Zurich.

For the facade and Interior schemes, I adopted coloured principles and elements based on geographic landmarks and venacular elements. The exterior of the building is cladded in two different tones of recycled bricks highlighting a distinction between the interior and exterior spaces paying homage to the 19th to 20th century industrial fabric within the Richmond area. Meanwhile canvas blinds and internal spaces were given colour shemes based on geographical landmarks and features. These include the Eastern side in Green - Mt Dandenong; North in Red, Orange and Yellow - Industrial fabric of the local area; South - Port Phillip Bay and The western side in Grey and Yellow based upon the local Football culture of the Richmond Tigers.

Final External heroshot: Stewart street exterior

Final external heroshot of Building, produced in Lumion and Photoshopped with a Street view from the Corner Opposite the Stewart/Wangaratta street reserve. In order to achieve a perfect balance of light matched with the overcast weather conditions outside, realistic photorendered skies were used and matched to achieve a like-for-like representation.

Final Overall section @ 1:100

With the final section, aspects of programming, light and materiality were retained and combined into one long section as opposed to two section produced in Week 10. The placement of view seen above highlights all residential programs, both Group and Multigenerational. as well as public, shared and external spaces; plus vertical circulation through the multistorey apartment spaces.
