FRANCO GERMAN EMBASSY DHAKA I BANGLADESH The common ambition of the Franco-German embassy in Dhaka, Bangladesh, is a strong opportunity for us to display the theme of duality and unity in a single building.This synergy between the two nations led us to propose a formal concept of permanent growth. The DNA molecule, 2 parallel spirals made architecture demonstrate that harmonious relationship in which both need the other to grow, generating life around them. In this scheme there is no front-back, no left-right, no top-bottom segregation. Every entity gets its equal share of exposure on all sides, the continuity is insured by 2 continuous stairs facing to each other around the atrium

COCCA RENOVATION OF RSCL SPINNING MILLS I TAMIL NADU I INDIA Being a renovation project, the idea is to adapt to the existing conditions of site with minimum hindrance and minor alterations to save on cost and still make a Project by exposing the structural continuity of the spinning mill and reutilizing its spaces. The prime concern is to reutilize the existing structural system and create spaces within the sheds. One bay of shed treated as one Academic department / Workshop, to have clarity in functional division of space. All departments will be interconnected through bridges.The Sheds will incorporate the proposed sections like a house within a house without touching the external fabric and being independent on one hand but still connected on the other.

FIRE STATION SUMERVILLE I SOUTH CAROLINA I U.S.A Whiteville County in South Caroliana approached Mcmillan Pazdan Smith to design theitr fire station. Its a small 2 truck fire station 10.000 SQ FT. Earlier the fire station was proposed as a two storey structure. We proposed everything to be compiled into a single storey which made it much more cost effective. The facade was proposed to be a mix of brick and metal siding.

FAMILY STUDENT HOUSING STUDENT HOUSING I UC SANTA CRUZ I U.S.A UC Santa Cruz Family Student Housing (FSH) provides an opportunity to relocate existing housing to a new part of the campus, at the intersection of Hagar Drive and Coolidge Drive. The design and construction of Family Student Housing is a critical path item to allow for the demolition of the current Family Student Housing and development of the full west campus site. The master plan for Family Student Housing integrate the buildings within the sloping topography to provide enrich the communal sense of place.The building’s meandering forms, which modulate vertically and horizontally, reflect the preference for simplicity and clarity of form articulated in the Design Guidelines. The idea of exercising restraint, of utilizing a modern design vocabulary that prioritizes functionality, simplicity, and efficiency is evident on the campus and is an ethic that this design proposal has taken to heart.

The panorama rendering views provided valuable feedback on the form, scale and materiality of the project. and the landscape integration is a primary consideration that the project team continues to enhance.

SITE PLAN - Near-Site Wastewater Treatment.Recycled Water System for all Units Provides Toilet flushing and Irrigation.

- Rooftop Photovoltaic System Provides 48% of Projected Energy Demand.

- Rooftop Integrated SunDrum Solar Thermal System to Achieve an EUI of 25.5 for 24/7/365 Occupancy.

COMMUNITY CENTER STUDENT HOUSING I UC SANTA CRUZ I U.S.A The Community Center at the Heller site will provide gathering spaces and administrative support for occupants of the Family Student Housing development.Design strategies and languages for the Community Center intentionally reflect those used on the rest of the Heller Site, including materiality, simple and efficient building massing and orientation, a focus clustering and gathering spaces, and consideration of internal and external views.The building provides public and private functions,often sharing spaces to do so. The largest spaces are for community gathering, including a room for meetings and banquets, and an adjoining kitchen. The kitchen is not just a backof- house service; it is designed to be occupied. These communal spaces feature expansive storefront glazing to visually integrate the interior and exterior spaces. A generous canopy over the rear of the community room and kitchen continues the theme of interior-exterior integration, and sliding doors allow users to move between the spaces during fair weather special events.

The building massing interprets the separation of the public and private spaces, using the sweeping canopy to extend into the public sphere and invite the campus inside, which contrasts the slightly taller volume housing the administrative functions. Material selection reinforces the contrast: Bright stucco cladding mixed with metal panels and large storefront-type openings highlight the public spaces while warm vertical wood provides a rich body for the administrative functions.

MAINTENANCE BUILDING STUDENT HOUSING I UC SANTA CRUZ I U.S.A

The Maintenace Building will provide support space for those maintaining the buildings, landscape, and general facilities of the Heller Site. Additionally, it will support the adjacent community garden by providing an open-air potting shed, where plants can be nursed and tools stored. Design inspiration for this building comes from a history of rustic wooden barns in the Santa Cruz area, such as the Cowell Hay Barn on campus. The Maintenance Building features a simple gable roof with a heavy-timber-supported extension above the entry and potting shed. A 3’ high concrete wall along the perimeter provides a durable surface that can stand up to the harsh facilities uses. Atop the concretewall sits vertical wood siding, which reflects the cladding elsewhere in the Heller proposal.

Feedback from residents of the existing Family Student Housing led to inclusion of a restroom that can be accessed by those using the garden.

GRADUATE STUDENT HOUSING STUDENT HOUSING I UC SANTA CRUZ I U.S.A The Graduate Student Housing building acts as the gateway to Student Housing West, framing the entry from Heller Drive. A fore court plaza greets students and visitors traveling along the south side of the graduate student community.

The five-story open-air “Connector” creates a “see-and-be-seen” pedestrian spine that invites all to circulate to the three housing bars, access to the Undergraduate Student Housing Building 5 and the rest of campus to the north. The “Connector” also provides social nodes at each floor for students to enjoy the amazing vistas while relaxing or studying. The design intent is to express the structure and by selecting materials that screen and provide a ‘porch’ porch like feel, but also provide safety to all students.
