TITLE
PCR LAB
A PCR lab is a specialized laboratory designed for DNA analysis using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technology. The architecture focuses on contamination control, airflow management, biosafety measures, and efficient workflow. Key features include segregated work areas, proper ventilation, non-porous surfaces, and restricted access to maintain a sterile environment.
SECTION
GOLF VIEW
A golf course view office building was designed to maximize scenic vistas while integrating seamlessly with the natural landscape. The design focus on several key aspects
1. Orientation & Views: The building is strategically positioned to offer unobstructed views of the golf course, the incorporation of large windows, terraces, and open spaces to enhance the visual experience.
2. Aesthetic Harmony: The architecture blends modern elements with natural materials like concrete, face bricks, and glass to create a sophisticated yet organic feel.
3. Functionality & Comfort: Interiors are designed to provide a balance between professional workspaces and relaxation areas, ensuring employees and visitors can enjoy the serene surroundings.

Maseru mixed use creatives hub (live work)
Mixed-use centers are a lot more appealing to the latest way of living and lifestyles, they have got that 24/7 use and feel, where you can walk from your residence and get on the street, go shopping and go to the bar or restaurant, and you don’t have to get in your car. They have a lot more curb appeal. Given the remarkably changing demographics of Maseru and the change in its people’s lifestyles and cities demands, the increasing need for sustainable buildings/development
and a need to bring people’s habitable spaces closer to towns they work and live in, shop and entertain themselves in, there is a huge underlying need to start building cities/buildings that address the people in the cities’s immediate needs and lifestyles stated aboveGMixed-use buildings where one can walk from their apartment upstairs to their office on floors below and maybe a restaurant and shops on ground floors without having to get in their car
South East elevation
North west elevation
Given the above, was required to design a mixed-use structure that is cognizant of the above need, structure that is technologically modern and addresses its intended purpose and is reflective of the current lifestyle demands and needs and that is architecturally sound and pleasant,The structure should be very modern but should incorporate and play around with elements and materials that pay
homage to our country’s vernacular heritage. i did have freedom over where and what your design should draw form from (and theme), and should have a strong sense of “hi tech” feel to it. I did explore and understand principals of architectural design / elements of both modern and vernacular architecture and allow these to guide and govern my design feature-wise and structurally.
