1:20 CONSTRUCTION DETAIL VENTILATION – There are openings in the glasshouse that allow for natural ventilation, as well as rain and birds

SUNLIGHT – When the sun hits the self tinted stained glass, rays of colour penetrate through the building.

The self tinting stained glass helps to control the heat in the building. When the sun is strong the glass tints and becomes darker and vice versa.

ACOUSTICS – Rendering is applied out the exterior and interior of the ‘poppies’. This was not only applied to created a natural and curved look, but it also acts as a sound buffer

The water stream that runs through the building recycles rainwater and it provides irrigation for planting. This is done through a pumping system that filters the rainwater as well as preventing the water from being still (this would create algae growth).

The curved ‘poppies’ allow an easier rainwater run off into the water stream

The INN – BETWEEN is a short stay Inn, at the bus terminal in the city of Oxford. The concept hinges on the creation of a dreamlike space with an ambiance that will promote relaxation and sleep. The spaces conceptually create a real and unreal world, where day-trippers and bus drivers can relax and have a unique experience.

INN- BETWEEN includes a lounge with comfortable seating, a secluded business center, and a snack bar. For those travelers who wish to nap or have complete privacy, chair beds are provided, which can transport into bedrooms with private washrooms facilities that are available for 1- 24 hour stays.

‘THE LONGER YOU WAIT THE HIGHER YOU GO UP “ If there is a 10-20 minute wait, people can wait on the GROUND FLOOR which also includes a snack bar and waiters for refreshments or snacks.

If there is a longer wait, the people are taken to the 1st FLOOR (comfortable lounge area) via platform lifts.

If there is an even longer wait, people are taken to the 2nd FLOOR that includes reclining chair beds.

The reclining chairs can also transport a person into their own private bedroom (3rd & 4th FLOOR)

Violetta Morris is a polyester fabric collectologist. Her house is made of a grid timber structure that holds glass and polyester fabrics as insulation and partitions. It is located along the Jericho canal, Combe Road in Oxford.

It is a living space and workshop. In the entrance of the building there is a polyester fabric clothing bank used by the public. A pulley system is used to pull the clothing up from the clothing bank on to the first floor of her workspace.

In her workspace/studio she uses the fabrics and goes on to do her own polyester fabric recycling process using machinery and make yarn as the end product .

The timber grid structure and design of the building was inspired by traditional looms.

Violetta’s home sits along the canal in order to have water supply source. The water is filtered and mostly used for sanitizing polyester clothing as well as providing water for daily usage.

POLYESTER FABRIC STORING

Violetta stores her polyester fabrics in between all the floors and walls for her home. This a space saving way to store her fabrics. It is also mainly used as insulation .

The excess timber grid structure is used for shading and Violetta’s vertical gardening. The plants pots are suspended by a grid in between the timber structure. Her growing plants attract birds and insects, thus creating their own ecosystem FABRIC STORED INTO WALLS

FABRIC STORED INTO FLOORING

On the upper the spaces where the machinery are located, the flooring tilt downwards to the main corridor, for fabric lint to be collected more efficiently. The lint is also used as insulation LINT COLLECTED INTO FLOORING

In the heart of Eynsham, Oxford, lives a passionate butcher who has a special relationship with his herds but ultimately wants to provide quality meat and open market feel experience for his customers. Each slice of the building displays the stages from farm to customer as well as his living space.
