OTTAWA HOSPITAL WELCOME CENTRE

Type: University Project

Project Name: The Orb Welcome Centre

Location: Carling Avenue, Ottawa Year: Winter 2021

Partner in charge: Clarisse Miranda & Salome Teran Main role: Design concepts, 3D model & renders

Description

The Orb is a welcome centre designed for the New Ottawa Hospital located in Carling Avenue near Dowe’s Lake. The design was based on a biophilic design concept having characteristics curves, organic materials, and vegetations that creates wonderful spaces for people to unwind, relax, reflect, enjoy, heal and be one with nature.

Intersected two circles and reduced the height depending on the solar orientation.

Offsetted 35 m to create the depth of the building. Cut two circles and created courtyard at the middle.

Created a grid system depending on the radius of the two circles to divide sections. Reduced the height on every section to create green terraces.

Created a focal point as a celebrated space in the middle by locating the center point of each referenced circles. Center of the two buildings is the welcome center accessible roof. Added two bridges to connect the building without blocking the light to the roof.

The New Hospita is two curved stepped buildings having a Welcome Centre placed in between The Welcome Centre is the fundamental social space in the hospital having one level and an accessible green roof. The two buildings wrapping the welcome centre are identical in terms of structural features. Both have curved form that facing each other oppositely. However, these two have a different number of storey due to design purposes. The big building has 16 levels and the small has 12 storey.

ROOF KEY FEATURES

The Engineered Hardwood Structure s located on each side of the roof, acting as a structural component that binds the three divisions: In patient, Welcoming Centre, and Out patient building. These wooden structures also add to the aesthetic components of the roof design as well as the health benefits, being made of wood. It has been scientifically proven that organic material such as wood can improve people’s health recovery.

The Garden Aisles are essentially corridors surrounded by different medicinal plants that bring calmness and peacefulness to whoever walks into these spaces. These corridors are made to be educational by exposing different medicinal plants which are locally grown in Canada.

The Translucent Skylight has a unique shape and function. This skylight incorporates an eye shape and is well designed to accommodate huge loads that allow people to walk right through it.

Amphitheatre

Circular Skyight

The Non Denominational Chapel serves as one of our main focal points in the Welcome Centre This structure has a double skin and a double dome roof The outer wall made of glass serves as a buffer for outdoor noises, whereas the opaque inner wall supports the glass dome. The inner dome functioned as a shading device to block the sun’s rays.

The Amphitheatre is a gathering space designed with stepped seatings and a shading device that integrates vines.

The Circular Skylights are added to bring more natural light into the Welcome Centre. These glass roofs are surrounded by planters and are projecting daylight into the entrance waiting for the area and the cafeteria while decreasing energy consumption in terms of light supply.

SKETCH PLAN OF THE GARDEN AISLE RENDER VIEW OF THE GARDEN AISLE

The patient room was design based on the need of offering a natural view and light There are two different designs for the patient room The first design consisted of having an enclosed balcony to be used as a family room Members of the family could use the space to stay with the patient if needed Furthermore, it could also be a solarium for the patient to improve their health. The design has a green operable shading door that integrates plants into the room, and it is to minimize solar heat. The screen shading door has a specific design that is compatible with the green aisle shading of the roof. The second proposed design is a smaller room that has a wood shading folding door to minimize the solar heat as well. Both rooms have exterior planters with vegetation and glass walls to maximize natural light and natural views The interior of the patient rooms has a wood finish for the wall and the ceiling, and the wood finish could be mock up wood for better efficacity

HOUSING PROJECT

Type: University Project

Project Name: Uprise Housing Location: Fisher Ave. & Meadowlands, Ottawa

Year: Fall 2020

Partner in charge: Clarisse Miranda & Salome Teran

Main Role: Design concept, 3D model & renders.

Description

The Housing Project consisted of working with partners to redesign a site located at the northwest corner of Fisher Avenue and Meadowlands Drive in Ottawa. The design of this project needed to expand housing with multiple amenities for the community and have a total of 1,200 residential units..

The design concept is a “DRAGON TAIL”, which involves a point tower facing towards Fisher and stepped buildings that decrease in height moving westward. The buildings wrapping around the existing site create a courtyard in the middle, which consisted of a playground, a community garden, and gather ing areas for the residents. The design is a pedestrian and en vironmentally friendly project where walkways and vegetation were incorporated everywhere in the site, from the courtyard park to the roofs of the housing buildings. The goal of this project is to create an affordable, comfortable, safe, and green environment for the community where they can enjoy and feel at home.

ZONNING

11m and 34m maximum height by zoning by law

SITE DIVISION

Site was cut in four sec tions, and two at the side of Fisher Avenue.

CIRCULATION

The two cuts at the cen ter are pedestrian path ways to connect the site with the park. The cuts at the sides are two main entrance from Meadow land extending the exist ing streets. HEIGHT Divided into small blocks for building form, and arrows represent the re duction and the addition of heights. Heights were adjusted based on sun orientation and potential view of the surrounding Green courtyard were created at the center.

BUILDING DESIGN

The buildings were cre ated with a design: geo metrical blocks merge to gether to form a stepped massing. The flow be tween these buildings creates the “dragon tail” concept of the whole de sign.

The Park Sight building is a 10 storey building with an accessible roof and underground parking. The building is a stepped structure with series of rectilinear forms interlocking together. The design is made with simple floor plans having one room units to four room units. The materials used are concrete, white panel cladding, wood louvers for shading, and glass to allow tons of light into the units.

The goal of the building design is to complement the whole design con cept of the housing project “DARGON TAIL” while giving a simple, affordable, and com fortable home for the community.

Project Name: The Balance: A New Convocation Hall

Location: Saint Paul University, Ottawa

Year: Fall 2020

Partner in charge: Clarisse Miranda, Karli Bijakowski & Mélina Grandmont

Main Role: Design concepts, landscape design, 3D model and renders.

Description

The Balance is a proposed convocation hall design addition for Saint Paul University. The addition is located at the North end of campus, attaching to the North wing of Guigues building and creating a linear massing along Hazel street. To respect the existing structures and history of the site, the massing of the addition on the Main street façade aligns with the protrusion of Laframboise. The massing ends along Hazel, in line with the central wing of Guigues. The linearity and balance of the site were continued in our massing and forms, specifically with respect to the alignment of our addition’s height with those of existing buildings and the continued use of block geometry. The programs of the addition, namely the gymnasium, convocation, retail, and social spaces, aim to create a greater connection between the students and the university culture, as well as between the community and the school.
