Project Abstract “Synergia Hydroponica” - 448 Ringwood-Warrandyte Road, Warrandyte South, VIC 3134....

A rooftop Garden and Shared Workspace; Aeroponic System and Produce Gardens.....

Scenario “We are at some point of the mid ‘20s. The COVID-19 crisis has passed, but when it comes to housing financial pressure has built-up on the average family and young individuals in Australia. Ecological pressure has also built up on the environment in Melbourne’s Yarra Valley. The Manning ham Council and the Stater Government of Victoria have finally reacted and decided to create policies to promote one-off projects and use them try out new solutions for housing. If successful, these projects will become beacons that will guide a new way of dwelling.

Under this new policy program, the authorities will consider overseeing regulations to provide new value. Developers that seek proposals that both help keep the environmental balance and adjust to the new ways of living will be benefited with regulations relief – subject to approval.

Our Response As part of the requirements of having four households coming together under the one roof, along with the inclusion of common programmatic elements that will foster a relationship between the inhabitants and the greater community.

Group Alex and Ana have responded to this by devising a design response that celebrates the natural culture of the existing area by creating an environment that brings the environmental facets of the yarra valley to the doorstep, while combining the Urban feel and community feel that one would expect when living in an inner urban area. Our Response will provide 5 levels of communal living and interaction with Four Households living together on site in 700m2 Dwellings. They and the rest of the community will come together in a shared workspace and cafe located on the basement floor operated by the inhabitants of the four dwellings, using produce from the gardens located on the rooftop. Which will be cultivated by a system of aeroponics centered around a central open air pond.

Task 1 - Spatial Aspects Research

Spatial System

Semi-Secluded curved Balcony “ The Statues of Tranquility”

•Segmented Concrete walls allow for Aerodynamic and Thermodynamic regulation of the surrounding environment.

As part of the first part of our first task, we were all required to research different systems relating to Space, Tectonics and Nature. For my first study focusing on Space. I looked into a set of segmented concrete walls from the Fawkner Residence, Designed by Rob Mills Architects and what aspects of it relate to this particular aspect. In its case I found the segmented walls had a good source of Aerodynamic and Thermodynamic regulation as well as a sculptural focal point.

While the internal space, due to the acoustic properties provided a sense of tranquility and privacy.

• The layout of the space provides a focal point to the exterior and interior of the building through its sculptural forms.

•The internal environment of the space provides a sense of Tranquility and Privacy, due to the material’s acoustic properties.

Week 1: Systems Research Studies

Task 1 - Tectonic Systems Research The second part of our first task, required us to research systems relating to tectonics. For my tectonic study, I concentrated on how the floating platforms and central column from Robin Boyd’s Featherstone House contains various different living areas all merged into the one indoor space.

The Juxtaposition of the floating platform, Indoor space and Garden provide a sense of minimal hierarchy between the indoor and outside world.

Week 1: Systems Research Studies

Task 1 - Nature Systems Research

Environmental Systems Hydroponic Trellis System

The third part of our first task, required us to research systems relating to nature. For my nature study, I concentrated on how vines can be used as part of a hydroponic Nutrient film system which reticulates the water and promotes nutrient movement into the plant’s root zone. Which allows for the growth of different types of vines throughout the year and provides shelter from the outside weather as well as providing an immersive and serene environment due to the different growth positions.

Task 2 - Tectonic and Nature Fusion (Revisions 1 & 2)

Tectonics Informing Nature

Cross-Section: Tectonic and Nature Fusion

By Alex Daicos

Reservoir

Central Column

Roots, Channel and Pots

Tectonics: Featherstone House Floating Platforms and Central Column.

Tectonics: A Flat Garden Trellis forms the conceptual basis of the outer structure with the main hydroponic channel located within the hollow part of the structural tubing.

Concrete Frame for Netting

Hydroponic Method: Nutrient Film Technique Platform

Clean Water in Vines

Seasonal Vines

Hollow Part of Structural Frame can house water and Root Channels for Hydroponic System. Water can also act as a mechanism of weight and stability for the structure.

Nature: Nutrient Film Technique is the easiest method of hydroponics as less maintenance is required within the Tray/Channel located within the Frame. Meanwhile, season-appropriate vines cultivated out of the system will provide a natural method of keeping the dwelling cool in summer and warm in winter.

For my first Chimeric Fusion iteration, I focused on how the Floating Platforms and central pillar from Boyd’s featherstone house can be fused together with the nature systems from the previous exercise. This three part system uses the Central Column as a reservoir for the ‘Nutrient film’ Hydroponic System, with the Balustrades used as a trellis and hydroponic channel.

While for the second iteration, I Focused on how the Hydroponic channels and trellis can form part of a structural Frame, which in turn can be used as a facade. The Hydroponic Channels within the steel frame when filled with water, can act as a Weight and Stability mechanism.

The first iteration of my Spatial and nature fusion focused on merging the curved space with the Hydroponic system and trellis. The Hydroponic structure comprises of a concrete frame containing the hydroponic channel, plus the trellis and vines. this concept is centered around insulation from the sun, wind and noise. The Second Iteration saw the spatial element and the hydroponic system working together to create a central space housing a lake, which acts as a supply reservoir for the hydroponic system.

As part of our Mid-Semester Progress Review Presentation, I decided to revise the system studies that i did earlier on in the semester. For Space i concentrated on Kengo Kuma’s Teikyo Elementary school and how its open space and split level layout promotes the circulation of light and air. For Tectonics i focused Artur Zakrzeski’s and Geoff Eberle’s Pedal Powered Coaster Structure and how it can allow the structure and split level spaces to be adjusted according to the end user. While with Nature, I continued on with the Hydroponic Trellis system from earlier on.

Weeks 3 & 4: Chimeric Architectural Fragment

Updated Chimeric Strategies

Chimeric Strategy - Tectonic and Space Fusion

Chimeric Strategy - Nature and Tectonic Fusion

Space: Layout of Floor plan is guided by Split Levels and L-Shaped Platforms in different positions allowing for seamless access of Air and Light as well as navigation within the Dwelling.

This combination is achieved by fusing the Grid Structure (shown below) with the floating platforms and open space (shown above). This achieves a Modular space which allows the end user to adjust the height of the platform, Which run up and down the columns as the diagram on the left below illustrates.

Tectonics: The outer structure housing the hydroponic system is combined with a glazed curtain wall system and a series of Japanese rain Chains, which provides a natural and passive cooling method with storm water, as well as a structure for the vines to climb on.

Hollow Part of Structural Frame can house water and Root Channels for Hydroponic System. Water can also act as a mechanism of weight and stability for the structure.

Nature: Nutrient Film Technique is the easiest method of hydroponics as less maintenance is required within the Tray/Channel located within the Frame. Meanwhile, season-appropriate vines cultivated out of the system will provide a natural method of keeping the dwelling cool in summer and warm in winter.

Tectonics: The Wire frame Piloti Structural system Can allow for the height adjustment of each platform along the height of each respective column. The System will be based off the same concept seen in car hoists, with hydraulic pistons located near each structural column driving the platforms.

Chimeric Strategy - Nature and Space Fusion Concept: Water from pond will be used to supply water to the hydroponic channels located within the main structure and Facade.

Following on from the Updated System Studies, I’d also decided to revise my Chimeric Strategies from earlier on as well. For Nature and Tectonics; the overall concept of combining hydroponics within a structural element remained the same, however i started looking at how Japanese rain chains can be used as a method creating a facade, in which the chains allow for the growth of the hydroponic vines, as well as providing a watering and passive cooling method. For Tectonics and Space, I’d started figuring out how to incorporate the aspects of Moving Platforms, Passive ventilation, and modular structures with split level open spaces. While for Nature and Space, the concept of incorporating the hydroponic system with a pond located in a central space was carried on from the previous exercise.

Concept Development of Merged Ideas

As Part of the initiation between me and my Partner Ana, we started working out how different elements from both of our designs would work out in one combined design resolution. As she was working with the N Caved House by Mold architects; along with nature in the form of a rooftop garden, we’d started combining those elements with the tectonic and spatial elements from my Fragment. In which one aspect would result in a common element (Kitchen) shared between the two dwellings placed on the modular platform. Allowing it to be moved from the living areas to the rooftop garden, allowing for public use in the form of a cafe as a public shared space.

24.

Following on from deciding what elements would accompany a common program, we’d started playing around with the form and layout of the two dwellings. The Floor layout consisted of three levels with identical floor plans for both of the dwellings, divided up by a common level with an outdoor garden.

The Top level consists of Bedrooms and Bathrooms; The Middle level: Kitchen and Main Living areas; and the Lower Ground Floor Shared areas made up of an office and cafe shared between the Two dwellings and the public.

Another Factor that we both took in was the distribution of light and air to the lower levels. This resulted in the creation of a void located on the outer boundaries of each level allowing the light and air to filter through.

Week 5: Chimeric Inhabitation

Program and Inahbitation Diagrams (Conceptual)

Inhabitation and Program

Roof

Concept of Inhabitation The aim is to create a common everyday space that is shared between the two units, Using Spatial and tectonic elements in the way of the modular grid structure, movable platforms and Split level Natural spaces. The program of inhabitation will act as a way in which both households will be able to grow, harvest, cook, sell and eat their own food under the one roof, making the use of social, natural and productive resources.

Ground Floor Public: Cafe, Kitchen and Study (Shared)

Household 1

Both Households will occupy each side of the dwelling in their own right, these separate areas will contain Bedrooms and Bathrooms.

The Separate Living areas will form part of the link with the commonly shared Kitchen/Dining/Cafe based upon the movable platform. This Movable Platform will allow for the Kitchen and Dining area to group with either the living areas during the evening or the rooftop garden during business hours.

Following the selection of our site; situated at 448 Ringwood-Warrandyte Road in Warrandyte South. I carried out some research in relation to the various factors concerning our site. This included statistics relating to the Local area (Manningham LGA) and General Statistics form the ACTU, which showed that a having a workspace in our dwelling can be benefited by 81% (Since COVID 19) of occupants working in the public services and education sector, as travel times to and from the city can take anywhere between 40 minutes to an hour.

Also researched was the total size needed for the hydroponic garden serving a family of four people, with the total size needed being 41 sqm vs a 40.3 sqm for a family of one.

Week 7: Chimeric Merging

Concept Development - Moving Platforms Moveble Platforms (Common Area)

Movable Platforms (Hydroponic Garden)

Foldable Platforms

Method of Operation

Operational Process

Concept To Provide a space that can be used as a fragment of access and nature and can be easily shared and adapted between the private and public.

Main Elements

The Platform will be able to pivot in the same manner as a foldable stairs. Allowing the garden and staircase to be moved between the public and private areas.

The method of operation will be in the same manner as a pull down blind with an extension pole and is pivoted out.

Multifunction Space provides access between the different levels and can accommodate garden space .

Pictured: Tianjin Luneng Taishan College / Lacime Architectural Design

Key Features

Concept The overall concept will work in the same manner as the foldable gates above with the overall principle adapted into a movable platform above the common area.

• Easy to Open and Close • Minimal Mechanical and no electrical components • Can Double as a Safety ledge when closed up • Opened by an extendable Blind Pole from the ground level and then pulled out.

• Secured to a central support mullion when opened.

Garden Beds will operate in the form of an aeroponic system, with water pumped up from a remote tank and sprayed under the plant’s root system, This will reduce the overall weight load of the platform, compared to a traditional hydroponic system as it uses 40% less water than a hydroponic system.

Also noted in our Mid-Semester Presentations was the design and execution of our moving platform lift, which was deemed too complicated by the critics do to its complex mechanisms. As a consequence I Looked into devising two new systems for two different areas, as opposed to one system for two areas using a simpler mechanism. The First System form the Common Space above the Courtyard consists of a Foldable System, which is pulled out by the end user and secured to a central point. Thus extending the rooftop space. Meanwhile, the second system used in the basement garden was designed with versatility in mind, by combining access stairs and an aeroponic garden. The platform when opened will enable the platform to be used as a stair. However when closed; a vertical garden.

Design Development - Overall Form, Space and Layout Pt 1A

Our First design concept involved creating a long rectilinear layout with four dwellings split up into two separate groups with a Private courtyard in between. Along with this common space was also provided with a main courtyard, situated in between the two dewlling groups in the middle, as well as a public garden space on top of the roof, emulating the hilly terrain that the dwelling is located upon. On the following page are a couple of sketches and a section highlighting the Split level nature, as well as the Grouping of the dwellings; with the two dwelling groups highlighted in orange and red and the public outdoor space highlighted in dark green.

Our Second Design Concept took a simpler approach with the dwellings and common space vertically stacked around a single courtyard with a folding platform roof (as explored in week 7) and a feature pond, part of the hydroponic system in the centre. The Design Exploration of the pond involved the creation of three concepts. The first idea being to have the pond half inside, half out. While the other two ideas focused around the spatial elements of the split level layout by either having the pond spread across one level, or two with a waterfall. As seen in the sketches on the next page.

Another spatial element explored was the internal arrangement of each of the dwellings. One concept (highlighted above) that we looked into was having a ratio or two sets of Bedrooms for two households to one living area. With the two sets of bedrooms divided into two private areas. With two stairwells serving each in the middle of an internal courtyard.

Week 9 saw further development on the second concept, which was most favored by me and my partner as our preferred spatial layout. As a result of this, I started working on ideas for Access to the Rooftop garden from the Ground Level, as well as the creation of a trellis structure along the side garden. The first concept for access to the rooftop as shown consisted of a grand staircase at the front of the dwelling, combining a garden and access portal to the underground garage.

Meanwhile, the overall concept of the Trellis structure for vines to be grown from the side hills was to create a one piece structure, combining Trellises, Balustrades and Structural Columns.

However the idea was perceived to be two industrial due to the spacing and composition.

The Second Concept was further developed by me and my group member by making the rooftop garden into a feature stair. However access to the ground floor via the front in a ramp formation was proving to be impossible due to the slope of the roof vs the height of the indoor spaces; and was consequently omitted. in the meantime me and my group member stated to rearrange the overall form of our design, by including articulations and setbacks at the front and back, as well as in the courtyard in order to create outdoor private spaces and promote light regulation. The roof at the back of the dwelling was also lowered to accommodate solar panels.

Design Development - Rooftop Garden

With the resolution of the overall external from and of our dwelling finalized at the start of week 11, development of the programmatic spaces commenced with the design development of the rooftop produce garden, which will be shared between the residents and public. Using the research collated in week 7, we were able to develop a garden that will cater of a family of four or 41 square meters, allowing the plants to be planted in a combination of traditional soil and aeroponic methods. Plants on the rooftop garden will include Tomatoes, Carrots, Onions, Cucumber and Lettuce.

Further Design development saw a final set of iterations made to the Details, which saw the Composite Rooftop garden system replaced with a traditional layer of soil and an aeroponic system, consisting of a plant holder, spray and drain channel, which can be adapted for either aeroponic or traditional planting when required. The same planting methods were also carried over to the Trellis vines on the perimeter and the folding garden. in the courtyard. Which itself had been revised once more, this time as just a simple folding garden, which can be lowered or raised to allow access to sunlight and maintenance respectively,

Final Model and Perspective Development

With The Final submission approaching in week 12, Final design development was well under way. As part of this i was tasked with producing the final rendered perspectives using Lumion.

This saw the injection of our dwelling within its urban context with the creation of an area mesh featuring cars, trees and adjacent dwellings; Along with the production of external and internal renders complete with people, furniture and finishes. In terms of external and internal finishes, we went for a minimalistic approach featuring neutral tones and natural finishes. These included a smooth concrete exterior and interiors comprising of Timber floors and Ceilings, as well as off-white walls. The overall aim was to make the dwelling stand out architecturally, while respecting the character of the existing surroundings.

The system consists of three stages, stating with the pumping of water from the courtyard pond into a tank located in the garage. From the tank, the water then makes its way up to the respective gardens either by fixed or portable connection and spayed under the plant’s root system. Following this process, the water is then drained back down and treated before being recirculated into the pond and back up again.
