SINGLE LIVING ACCOMMODATION (SLA) LOCATION: BURNHAM MILITARY CAMP, CHRISTCHURCH BUILDING TYPE: ACCOMMODATION BUILDING COST: $65,000,000 NZD ROLE ON PROJECT TEAM: ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNER RESPONSIBLE FOR PRODUCING GA DRAWINGS IN PRELIMINARY AND DEVELOPED DESIGN AND DETAILING FOUNDATION, ENVELOPE, WINDOWS, DOORS AND PRODUCING SCHEDULES DURING DETAILED DESIGN. PARTICIPANT IN THE WEEKLY INTERDISCIPLINARY COORDINATION MEETINGS TO RECEIVE THE UPDATES OF THE PROJECT PROGRESS. DATE OF COMPLETION: BC SUBMITTED- CONSTRUCTIONS WORK ON HOLD PROJECT DESCRIPTION: THE SLA ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN RESPONSE WILL ALIGN WITH THE OBJECTIVES AND DESIGN PRINCIPLES SET OUT IN THE BURNHAM CAMP INFRASTRUCTURE MASTER PLAN (IMP), USER REQUIREMENTS (URS), NZDF ACCOMMODATION, MESSING AND DINING MODERNIZATION (AMDM), NZDF BUILT ENVIRONMENT WORKSHOP FEEDBACK, NZDF SUSTAINABILITY MANUAL AND SUSTAINABILITY INFRASTRUCTURE STANDARDS. THE SLA FACILITY HAS BEEN DESIGNED AS TWO, FOUR-STOREY BUILDINGS CONNECTED BY A CENTRAL CIRCULATION AND AMENITIES CORE. BUILDING ONE HAS BEEN TREATED AS RIGID AND REGULAR WITH ALL WINDOWS ALIGNED, UNIFORM. THE FACADES REFERENCES BURNHAM'S WHITE ACCOMMODATION BUILDINGS THAT HAVE COME BEFORE. BUILDING TWO PRESENTS A CONTRASTING DESIGN LANGUAGE WITH ALL WINDOWS UNIFORM IN SIZE, BUT IRREGULAR / STAGGERED IN ALIGNMENT. THE FAÇADE IS A MONOLITHIC EARTHEN TONE THAT LENDS ITSELF TO BURNHAM SURROUNDING CHARACTER AND PROVIDES VISUAL CONTRAST TO BUILDING ONE. THE CENTRAL GLAZED ATRIUM ACTS AS A SPINE CONNECTING THE TWO WINGS PROVIDING AMENITY AND NATURAL LIGHT TO THE CIRCULATION CORE AND COMMUNAL SOCIAL SPACES ON EACH FLOOR. THE FUNCTIONAL SPACES WERE IDENTIFIED WITHIN THE USER REQUIREMENTS AS PER BELOW: § 61 ACCOMMODATION ROOMS WITH AN ENSUITE (SHOWER, TOILET AND SINK PROVISIONS), KITCHENETTE AND INDIVIDUAL STORAGE SPACE. 24 M2 NET INTERNAL AREA § PROVISION FOR A LOUNGE / SHARED LIVING SPACES WITH COUCHES, TVS, TABLES, CHAIRS AND AREAS FOR GAME / ACTIVITY STORAGE § PROVISION OF A SHARED KITCHEN WITH FRIDGES, MICROWAVES, DISHWASHERS, TEA, AND COFFEE MAKING FACILITIES § OUTDOOR COMMUNAL SPACE TO BE PROVIDED WITH SPACE FOR SEATING AND RECREATION. THIS AREA MUST BE SEPARATED FROM THE SIGHT OF THE WIDER CAMP PERSONNEL. SPACE TO BE LARGE ENOUGH TO FACILITATE USE AT 8 AM AND 4 PM PEAK USER LOAD. § COMMUNAL LAUNDRY WITH WASHING AND DRYING FACILITIES § PROVISION FOR STORAGE AND OVERFLOW STORAGE § PROVISION FOR BIKE PARKING § EXTERIOR PLANT BUILDING AND ASSOCIATED ANCILLARY SUPPORT FUNCTIONS.
ARCH HANGARS LOCATION: ROYAL NEW ZEALAND AIR FORCE WHENUAPAI BASE, AUCKLAND BUILDING TYPE: HANGARS REFURBISHMENT COST: $43,794,000 NZD FOR HANGAR 1 AND 2 COMBINED ROLE ON PROJECT TEAM: ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNER RESPONSIBLE FOR DOING GA DRAWINGS FOR DEVELOPED DESIGN; DETAILING WINDOWS AND DOORS, ENVELOPE, INTERNAL WALLS AND STAIRS FIRE DETAILS AND PRODUCING SCHEDULES DURING DETAILED DESIGN. IN CHARGE TO REPORT THE ARCHITECTURAL PROGRESS AND ENQUIRIES IN THE INTERDISCIPLINARY COORDINATION MEETINGS. cURRENTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION MONITORING. DATE OF COMPLETION: CONSTRUCTIONS WORK JUST STARTED PROJECT DESCRIPTION: THE AGREED SCOPE OF THE ARCH HANGAR REFIT PROJECT IS A REGENERATION UPGRADE TO MEET ALL REGULATORY COMPLIANCE STANDARDS (HEALTH AND SAFETY, SPECIFIC ENGINEERING WORKPLACE REQUIREMENTS, DEFENSE ORDERS ETC.) TO MAINTAIN HANGAR 1 AND HANGAR 2 FOR THEIR REMAINING USEFUL LIVES. HANGAR 1 IS SCHEDULED FOR REMOVAL AT THE END OF THIS DECADE, AND AS A RESULT HAS BEEN DEEMED TO NEED A LIGHT REFIT UPGRADE. HANGAR 2 IS SCHEDULED TO BE IN SERVICE FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE AND AS SUCH HAS BEEN DEEMED AS REQUIRING AN INTENSIVE REFIT UPGRADE. THE HANGARS ARE REGISTERED BY NZDF AS A CATEGORY A BUILDING, WHEREBY THE WHOLE BUILDINGS HAVE BEEN AFFORDED THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE. THE HANGAR BUILDINGS SHOULD THEREFORE BE MAINTAINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE NZDF HERITAGE MANAGEMENT PLAN (HMP). STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATION HAS BEEN ALSO A FUNDAMENTAL DRIVER AND HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED AS KEY TO DEVELOPING A SUCCESSFUL DESIGN. THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE ARCHITECTURAL SCOPE WERE: § ACOUSTIC WINDOW DETAILING WITHIN THE OFFICE SPACES TO THE HANGARS FOR BOTH ACOUSTIC SECURITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL REASONS. AS HERITAGE WAS ONE OF THE MAIN CONSIDERATIONS A SECONDARY WINDOW SYSTEM WAS APPLIED TO INSIDE OF EXISTING WINDOWS WITH MINIMUM 100MM AIR GAP TO PROVIDE REQUIRED SOUND REDUCTION INDEX. § VENTILATION LOUVRES (MINIMIZED FOR HERITAGE) INCORPORATE ACOUSTIC ATTENUATORS TO MINIMIZE AIRCRAFT NOISE INTRUSION INTO THE DUCT AND CEILING VOID ABOVE OFFICE SPACES. § ADDITIONAL MASS TO PARTITIONS BETWEEN OFFICE SPACES TO IMPROVE ACOUSTIC AND PRIVACY. SELECTING MATERIALS, COLOURS AND FINISHES FOR THE WORKS. § DOORS (E.G. SOLID CORE WITH ACOUSTIC SEALS, PROPRIETARY ACOUSTIC RATED DOORS) TO BE APPLIED TO ACOUSTIC SECURE MEETING ROOMS AND TO MINIMIZE AIRCRAFT NOISE INTRUSION THROUGH THE BUILDING ENVELOPE TO SENSITIVE SPACES. § INTERNAL RAMP DESIGN AMENDMENTS FOR ACCESSIBLE ACCESS FROM THE HANGAR FLOOR PER NZBC D1. § INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL FIRE EGRESS STAIR DESIGN IN COORDINATION WITH THE FIRE ENGINEERING AND STRUCTURAL DESIGN TEAMS.
