ANDREW HITE CURRICULUM VITAE

ABOUT

Architect NSW 10827 Urban Designer

I possess impeccable technical and computer skills with such programs as Revit, Rhino, Adobe Creative Suite and other design-based programs. My attention to detail, quick productivity, self-motivation and communication with others are just a few of my strongest points. I am extremely comfortable working in a team environment and excel being in an office that desires collaboration and while also being selfmotivated, I work just as efficiently as an individual. My passion with understanding different scales of design has helped to inform a deeper knowledge of how all of them become interconnected and inform one another.

My fastidious attention to detail gives me a rigorous understanding of the built environment and helps the teams I work in to deliver vibrant and interactive spaces and environments to live, work and play. My previous work in metal working, lighting and furniture design has allowed me a better understanding of the smaller scale side of things.

My urban design background also allows me to quickly understand the complexities of individual components of potential other projects, such as but not limited to residential, commercial, educational and retail. It is this background that allows me an advantage to have the confidence to dive into new and smaller projects in the future while also allowing my desire to learn more about each of these areas.

BELLA VISTA PRECINCT The Bella Vista Station Precinct was rezoned by the Department of Planning and Environment as a priority precinct associated with the North West Rail Link corridor strategy, to provide for more homes, jobs and improved public spaces close to transport and services. One of the key goals for the Priority Precincts is to increase housing choice and affordability by delivering increased housing supply in an environmentally, socially and economically sustainable way.

The responsibilities I was asked to undertake on this project, was numerous and expansive. This work set out to look at the overall site and context analysis, created the master plan framework, worked through the public domain identity and the overall distribution of built form and building height. A set of drawings, design guidelines, an indicative scheme and the report were all developed and sent to the city for approval.

FLOATING CITIES

Initiated by an internal competition an idea was sparked that wanted to answer the increasing damage done by the giant plastic patches growing within the oceans.

By 2050 plastic will outweigh fish in the ocean.

Rubbish City is a system that transforms this global problem into a valuable resource. The initiative repurposes obsolete vessels to establish a recycling infrastructure in the middle of the ocean for diverse adaptive communities.

1) Processing Tanker & Collection Barges

With an initial fleet of five hundred automated plastic retrieval boats launched. Eighty barges used as collection posts. Twenty tankers retrofitted to process salvaged plastic. There would be five habitation & resource stations or each garbage gyre. The initial amount of people working and living for this mission would be 10,000 individuals.

the finishing design and consultant coordination of the ceilings throughout the building. As the floor to floor heights were low for this type of building the unique original structure offered a creative solution for the finished ceilings to follow the pattern of that construction. Through this process I was responsible for coordinating the fire systems, the lighting and the mechanical services, to create a cohesive and clean finished product for the building.

One of the projects I was tasked with assisting on was the Electrical Engineering Building (EEB), situated on the main campus of UNSW in Randwick. The building was a six-story structure housing one of Australia’s top engineering schools originally built in the 1960’s in the Sydney modern style.

CN 19 WESTCONNEX

I was brought on board this project after a change notice saw the redesign of the ventilation stacks and surround brick wall barriers. My role on this was being responsible for the metal cladding of the stacks. The design ethos was to create a veil around the stacks that would create a mirrored like finish mimicking the light of the surrounding sky to mitigate its intrusion into the surrounding context, while also providing space behind to create light effects in the evening and night time.

6 601408

I was responsible with other team members to test and model options of the shape and materiality of the metal cladding that would allow a sense of opening and lightness while also having the support behind it to make it feasible. Through this process we worked closely with fabricators and lighting specialists to make sure we were able to come up with the proper finished product.

EAST 84TH STREET

While working for Gotham Metalworks, I was responsible for the fabrication and construction of the framing and copper cladding of three large dormer oriel windows. My responsibility involved the physical building of each frame as well as guiding the copper manufacturer with how the copper parts were connected to cover the frame of each dromer.

1) Construction

The fabrication of the frames involved a combination of wood and laser cut steel fully covered in a waterproofing membrane. I was then responsible with coordinatin with the copper fabricator in order the complete each window The final products were placed on a renovated townhouse on E 84th St. in Manhattan.

[M]IGHTY SPACES

The density-organising strategy of this project addresses Rio's uneven and disordered growth.

Ranging from architectural to city scale. We call these - 'Mighty spaces'. Rio de Janeiro is a rapidly sprawling city amongst the world's developing megacities. Through the east-west dualities, the city magnifies the social unevenness of Brazil. This unevenness is a direct result of the current planning policies within the city.

Furthermore, Rio faces a challenge of accommodating 2.5 million new residents within the next 15 years. Mighty Spaces, aims to address the inadequacies of current planning strategy and the disordered growth that Rio will experience in the future. By channeling growth spatially along an eastwest corridor defined by avenue of Brazil on the north and Supervia train line on the south, the project envisions Santa Cruz as a strategic edge for Rio.

TOWER ON THE LAKE

A multi-use tower is placed 300 feet from Chicago in Lake Michigan to distinguish itself from the city. The tower stands as a reaction to the defining nature of the coastline as it breaks through the habitable land and the nevigable lake.

Four thin towers surround an open air atrium. Towers hold work and living spaces; while the atrium houses the circulation spaces. Each tower consists of cells of varying heights and widths created by a pattern of two interaciting shapes in a 12 by 12 grid. The cells house

the multiple uses in the structure and can be converted into any use the inhabitants need.

The elevators and stairs are placed around the atrium and stepped away from the four towers and connected by a series of bridges. The tower floors stop being thought of as merely individual parts to the whole, they become integrated communities that relate and respond to one another.

ART GALLERY

The brief for this third year project was develop a public art gallery. The structure would need to house multiple small galleries, office spaces, ample storage and workshop space, as well as three small residences to house a rotating list of potential of in-house artists.

The idea behind the structure was to design a gallery with workshop, office space and residences included. The site is in downtown Blacksburg and

includes the renovation of a 1930’s bank building.

The art galleries and offices are interspersed throughout the building while the workshop spaces are located in the rear. The three loft-like residences are suspended in a rectangular structure that cantilevers above the bank building and the new art galleries.

BUS STATION

The mission behind this project was to create a bus terminal that included waiting space, office space, bike storage,end of trip facilities, car parking and a restaurant within. The structure's mission was to create a centre point of public transit for students, faculty families when either visting home or returning for classes every year.

The structure is a simple steel and glass rectangle with two atriums on either side where the floors

taper forward above the other. The entire structure is encapsulated in a steel mesh that diminishes the need for curtains or blinds while the atrium spaces are exposed as to maximize sunlight within. The building is pushed back from the sidewalk about 10 feet allowing light into the underground parking garage. On either side of the main structure is a glass-enclosed fireescape that runs down the entire side of the building.

FAMILY RESIDENCE

The brief for this project was for developing a home within Blacksburg to create a residence for a family of three. The site of this project was placed on a half-acre of an undeveloped lot within a quarter mile of Main Street. The requirements were for two bedrooms, ample kitchen space, dining and living and areas for study and play.

Five volumes of progressive heights are brought together to form this structure. Concrete is used as the structure, as glass covers the ends of

each volume allowing maximum light in during the day while keeping the noon sun out with proper shading. All areas of the house except for the kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms are left unfinished to give the owner freedom to create his/her own space. The structure goes from twelve feet at the first volume to twenty feet at the fifth volume.

A CABIN IN THE WOODS

The brief for this project was to develop two distinct types vacation cottages. One built on the premise of load bearing wall construction. The cottage was designed for the purpose to house two people and include ample space for cooking, dining, living and sleeping.

This cottage began as a simple cube position at a 45-degree angle to the south. The walls slowly taper up to the roof made of heavy stone. The roof undulates up and down in a butterfly position and pushes most of its

load to two interior central walls. The south facing walls open up with a large expanse of multiple small windows that combine to create larger view to the forest beyond.

This also allows for the maximum amount of light in the winter and shading in the summer. The north facing walls are blank walls save for the entry into the cottage as well as bathroom window on the second floor. The bedroom is lofted in the double height space of the living and dining area, while the kitchen is nestled below.

DREAMED SPACES

A personal project of mine has been attempting to capture the architecture and construction of my own dreams. Starting in 2017 I’ve always found what people remember in their dreams fascinating, from the disjointed narratives to the feelings they invoke but are quickly forgotten.

In this series I try to remember more specifically the architecture and landscape of the dreams I am able to recollect. Moments quickly captured and jotted down once I awaken. The places and spaces

never seem to make much sense but I’ve been a bit fascinated what the subconscious is able to create out of thin air.

What starts out as a sketch quickly moves to rhino to be modelled up and fabricated to as true as I can recall the image. From there it is moved into illustrator and photoshop to help finish and enhance the final image. This series is an ongoing work.

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY Livability, efficiency and functionality are the major factors that contributed to the design of this home for the Habitat for Humanity of Greater San Francisco Competition. A simple and yet functional layout at roughly 720 square feet, that borrows elements from two distinct housing styles; the shotgun house and the courtyard house.

Placed within a 10 by 12 grid the house is broken into two seperate but equal components connected by way of the open space between the buildings. The two buildings are physically connected via two large shuttered sliding barn doors that when closed create a private courtyard for the family.

VISUAL ARTS

Another personal project is my attempt at the visual arts using mixed medium. Similar to the dream scapes a few of these pieces of been remembered and recreated from dreams. Not attempting to force any more meaning to them than that they are simply collected dreams. It’s started a more in-depth interest in painting and geometry.

Most of the work at present has been a combination of acrylic paint and found and recovered elements. I’ve always enjoyed art and found it to be a relaxing way to wind down in the evening as well beginning to test out different styles.

The hope is that this project is also ongoing and that the pieces will become larger and more complex.

PHOTOGRAPHY

Another past time I have increasingly enjoyed during my travels has been photography. Recent trips have allowed me to visit historical places I had always wanted to visit since I was a child that first instigated my love for architecture and design.

I’ve acquired an eye for capturing less of the detail of certain structures and more for the overall composition and feeling of a place in my eyes.

It’s helped me craft and develop my own sense

of design and ethos especially in terms of urban design and place making.

Capturing the essence of a place beyond merely the single structure or element and more about the how all of the independent pieces began to construct a narrative and a story all their own.

FURNITURE

As someone who enjoys all scales of design, I’ve begun testing out designing and fabricating furniture. Throughout the years I’ve enjoyed the practical constructive side and have taken every chance I have to learning and testing out pieces.

These pieces began as an interpretation of a Hans Wegner silhouette. It was then modelled in rhino and extruded into a single and two-seater design.

I then worked with a local fabricator in Sydney called So Watt and sent them the template for the

pieces. CNC’d from marine grade 24mm plywood, the pieces were then fabricated and stained at home. Using marine grade rope, I then wove the back of the two pieces.

Other pieces made but not pictured were a sun lounger, side bench and side table. Moving forward the hope is to continue learning more about other means of furniture making.
