01 DETACH RESIDENCE
Project Overview The Detached Residence project is a single-family home that embodies the essence of modern living while providing a sense of separation and privacy within the confines of a typical urban setting. This architectural concept brief outlines the vision for a residence that consists of distinct zones, carefully designed to accommodate the diverse needs of a contemporary family. Design and Architecture The primary design concept for the Detached Residence is to create a harmonious blend of modern architectural elements, functionally divided spaces, and a strong connection to the surrounding environment. The house should reflect a balance between privacy and openness, allowing the inhabitants to enjoy bot serene personal space and communal gathering areas.

02 The Market Fusion Housing “Typical affordable housing”
Project Overview The “Market Fusion Housing” concept aims to seamlessly integrate the essence of a traditional marketplace with modern affordable living spaces, creating a dynamic and self-sustaining urban ecosystem. This architectural vision revolves around three core principles:
Seamless Integration The architectural design seamlessly integrates the market within the housing complex, ensuring fluid connectivity while maintaining distinct identities for residential and commercial areas. The transition between these spaces is smooth and intuitive, creating an inviting atmosphere for both residents and visitors.

03 Architectural School Expansion
Project Overview The project aims to revolutionize educational spaces through the innovative concept of “Cubist Luminescence.” Embracing the foundational element of the grid-based cube, this visionary endeavor seeks to redefine the traditional boundaries of educational architecture, offering a transformative canvas for academic excellence.
Design and Architecture This concept embodies the power of geometric precision within educational architecture. It recognizes the grid-based cube as a symbol of order and potential, where each facet represents a unique facet of learning. Classrooms, workshops, collaborative zones, and administrative areas seamlessly integrate into the cube’s modular design, fostering adaptability and customization.

04 THE SANDBAG OFFICE SPACE (SOS)
Project Overview The Sandbag Office Space (SOS) initiative focuses on utilizing sandbags as the primary construction material to create a functional and versatile office space. By leveraging the affordability and accessibility of sandbags, this project aims to demonstrate a cost-effective and environmentally friendly approach to building infrastructure.
Design and Architecture The Sandbag Office Space project aims to showcase the viability and practicality of constructing office spaces using sandbags. By leveraging simple construction techniques and affordable materials, this initiative demonstrates the feasibility of creating functional, low-cost, and environmentally friendly infrastructure for various office purposes.

CONSTRACTION PROCESSES
Site Extrude
Foundations
Sand bags
The width of the foundation trench should be at least two sandbags. Minimum depth of the trench is two sandbags. Measure the distance diagonally between opposite posts.
Excavate for foundations to a depth of 100 mm and a width of 550 mm according to the measurements in the foundation plan. Mix building sand with cement in the relation 10:1 (earth wet mixture).
Lay the foundation sandbags two wide along foundation lines. Stack bags level until there are Two bags above the highest ground level. Use water to wet the sandbags and set the cement.
Site Extrude
Ecobeam Frame Structure
Framing a Wall
Continue placing two to three more layers, until the bags are approximately 150 mm above the natural ground level.
Span metal wires from the studs next to windows and corners to their neighbors to prevent bowing of Ecobeam due to pressure of stacked sandbags.
Erect the assembled panels in position according to the assembly plans and temporarily support in position by diagonal supporting timbers.
32
HOW IT WORKS 1 - Production of Ecobeams Construct a workbench with a mould of the exact width of the type of Ecobeam you want to produce. One end should be closed in a right angle, the other one should remain open.
4 - Wall Panel Assembly Start assembling the various wall panels by laying them flat on the ground in their respective positions. Use 75 mm screws or nails to connect the beams to each other, making sure that the structure always remains square and at right angles
2 - Site Preparation Clear site of all loose debris and vegetation. Level an area that is on every side approximately one meter wider than the house´s outside measurements on the plan, ensuring that any rainwater can drain away from the site.
5 - Placing Ecobags in Framework Place sand as close as possible to the site of the new structure to minimise handling (ideally, place many smaller piles every few meters around the building).
3 - Foundations Excavate for foundations to a depth of 100 mm and a width of 550 mm according to the measurements in the foundation plan. Mix building sand with cement in the relation 10:1 (earth wet mixture).
6 - Wire Mesh The plinth in any case should be done with a moisture-resistant cement plaster. stronger mesh, it can help you shaping the form of the plinth.

Electrical installations - All windows and doors are framed on the top, bottom and both sides with regular, nonstructural ecoBEAMs. - Frames of doors and windows can be attached to the construction very early. - Most electrics, plumbing and heating can be installed at this stage as well. - They can be laid in the middle of the sandbag wall or can be fixed with metal wire to the Ecobeam structure or to the sandbags on the surface of the wall. Afterwards they are embedded in the first layer of plaster
