CONCEPT: TO CREATE A FOOD HUB WHICH BRIDGES THE GAP BETWEEN THE FOREIGNERS AND LOCALS THROUGH ACTIVITES THAT ALLOW THEM TO PLAY GROW, GATHER & LEARN

project

dwelling for an artist

This project discusses the spatial potentialities and the relationship between the architecture and its inhabitants in creating a sense of belonging. I was assigned to design a temporary habitable space for my selected client, an artist, with the idea to redefine a retreat space.

THE LOCATION OF SITE FOR THIS PROJECT IS AT OMADAL ISLAND, SEMPORNA, SABAH. THIS IS THE SITE PLAN SHOWING SITE BOUNDARY IN WHICH THE DWELLING FOR THE ARTIST IS TO BE BUILT ON

SITE SYNTHESIS

POSSIBLE PATHWAYS & LOCATIONS FOR THE MOBILE STUDIO TO TRAVEL TO ISKUL

SEA VILLAGE + BOAT HOUSES

STILT HOUSES ALONG THE COAST

I HAD THE IDEA TO DESIGN A PORTABLE STUDIO, SO IN THIS SECTION, I STUDIED AND MAPPED OUT THE POSSIBLE PATHWAYS AND LOCATIONS THE STUDIO COULD TRAVEL TO AND BE SITUATED AT. I ALSO INCLUDED A STUDY OF THE BACKGROUND AND DAILY LIVES OF THE LOCALS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE PEOPLE MY CLIENT WOULD BE INTERACTING WITH ON SITE.

SEA VILLAGE STILT HOUSES

The average distance between two stilt houses at the sea village mapped out in the path of the site plan is 6 metres Hence, the mobile studio has to have a width below 6m to be able to navigate through the stilt houses at the sea village.

DAILY ACTIVITES OF THE BAJAU LAUT PEOPLE

MAT WEAVING ENTERTAINMENT

DRYING SEAFOOD FISHING

MEALS

HARVESTING SEAWEED

CONCEPT & IDEATION

CONCEPT: TO CREATE A HOUSE THAT IS ABLE TO EXHIBIT THE CLIENT’S ARTWORKS AND TO CREATE A SPACE THAT INVITES PEOPLE INTO THE CLIENT’S HOUSE/GALLERY. A MOBILE STUDIO IS ALSO DESIGNED TO HELP THE CLIENT TRAVEL AROUND OMADAL ISLAND TO STUDY THE LIVES OF THE LOCALS TO AID HIM IN HIS PROCESS OF ART MAKING

MOCKUP MODEL 1

MOCKUP MODEL 2

THIS MOCKUP MODEL PLAYS WITH DIFFERENT LEVELLINGS OF THE HOUSE, WHEREBY CERTAIN PARTS OF THE HOUSE ARE AT WATER LEVEL AND CONNECTED TO ONE ANOTHER WITH A BRIDGE.

FLOOR PLAN DRAFT 1

A PASSAGEWAY SURROUNDING THE HOUSE IS ADDED TO THE PREVIOUS MOCKUP MODEL. ROTATING PANELS ARE ADDED TO THE PASSAGEWAY AT WATER AND JETTY LEVEL TO BE USED AS EXHIBITION PANELS

FLOOR PLAN DRAFT 2

FLOOR PLAN DRAWN BASED ON THE SECOND MOCKUP MODEL. UPON ENTRY, VISITORS ARRIVE AT A PUBLIC LIBRARY SPACE SEPARATED FROM THE LIVING AREA WITH MOVABLE BOOKSHELFS.

SECOND FLOOR PLAN DRAFT SHOWING THE IDEA OF HAVING THE BRIDGE TO BE MOVABLE. THE BRIDGE SLIDES TO THE LEFT, CONNECTING WITH THE LIBRARY AREA. THE PANELS OF THE LIBRARY OPEN UP, THUS MAKING THE BRIDGE AN EXTENSION SPACE OF THE LIBRARY TO EXHIBIT ARTWORKS.

LEADING TO STUDIO

SECTION Y Y SHOWS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE MAIN HOUSE FIXED ON STILTS AND THE DETACHABLE MOBILE STUDIO FLOATING ON WATER. THE MAIN HOUSE AND STUDIO ARE CONNECTED WITH AN INTERMEDIARY SPACE THAT IS EQUIPPED WITH A RAMP THE ELEVATES ACCORDING TO THE SEA WATER LEVEL.

FRONT OF HOUSE WHEN STUDIO IS AWAY

SECTION X-X SHOWS THE LEVELLINGS OF DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE HOUSE AND HOW THE LIVING/SLEEPING AREA IS CONNECTED TO THE REST OF THE HOUSE WITH THE ROTATING BRIDGE. BOATS PASSING BY THE HOUSE VIEWING EXHIBITED ARTWORKS CAN ALSO BE SEEN FROM THIS SECTION.

1. BEFORE OPENING OF PANELS BELOW BRIDGE

2 AFTER OPENING OF PANELS BELOW BRIDGE, LOCALS TRAVELLING ON BOATS/ BOATHOUSES ARE ABLE TO VIEW THE ARTIST’S WORK WHEN TRAVELLING PAST THE HOUSE

project 04 buluhouse (competition work)

Many Orang Asli, Malaysia's indigenous peoples who live in the forest, have been evacuated to make room for development, and they continue to fight for land rights in a long and continual conflict. They are relocated in rural and semi rural areas, or on the outskirts of bigger cities, where they are pushed to assimilate into mainstream culture, frequently unprepared for the challenges that this entails. Many of the Orang Asli is currently being relocated from traditional wooden houses to government supplied concrete block structures. Bamboo has become well known as a sustainable building material for a variety of reasons, including the fact that it can be easily planted and harvested in a relatively short period of time and that it can be reused. Bamboo is a lightweight and easy to bend construction material. These characteristics are ideal for organically formed structure construction.

buLuhouse potentials of bamboo

The looking into the potentials of bamboo helps inform the design ideation by highlighting where the bamboo comes from through a sustainable harvesting progress which ensures the construction material for the expansive Orang Asli bamboo housing. Bamboo is a commercially significant plant of the Poaceae family. Malaysia has a wide range of bamboo species. Given Malaysia's enormous ethnic and genetic variety of bamboos, it is quite likely that many key ethnobotanical uses of bamboos remain unexplored

Concept: A core of a living + sleeping area and kitchen is built with a wide verandah space as the base of the house. Over time, the house can be expanded to accommodate more users by inserting wall panels around the existing verandah space for easy expansion. The concept of the incremental housing is flexible and adapts to the inhabitants changing circumstances and needs
