About I am currently an architectural design student based in Christchurch completing my final year of the Bachelor of Architectural Studies degree. I enjoy all aspects of architecture however I am particularly interested in Interior Architecture after completing studies in this area. I especially love the way texture, colour and form influences peoples reactions and feelings towards a space or design.

P RO JECT O N E SMALL HOUSE Small inner-city town house restricted to seven metres in height and seven metres wide.

This project helped to familiarise myself with the architectural/ spatial/ functional design requirements of Residential activities & spaces.

The building is designed to fit within a 7 metre square cube using timber framed construction and designed to the requirements of NZS3604.

With the spacial limitations given by the brief I have designed a 2 bedroom inner-city town house for a young professional couple.

The exterior impression gives a solid visual impact created by the use of materials and simple placement of claddings and windows.

THE EXPERIENCE As the client brings his bike inside from a long day at work entering through the large pivoting front door, he puts his coat on the hanger and his bike next to that on the wall mounted rack. He takes off his shoes and tucks them away under the mud area bench and takes a few steps to the sofa to unwind from his busy day.

Downstairs is an open plan kitchen and living area for entertaining guests. As you enter through the front door you are greeted by the staircase that leads you upstairs to the bedrooms, bathroom, laundry and office nook. All space is utilised to create a comfortable and spacious environment, this is done by using staggering floor levels on the ground floor and raking ceilings on the first floor to give higher ceiling heights.

P RO JECT T WO CLIFTON HILL The challenge faced was to design a structure that would appear to grow out of the hill and sit gently on top of it.

This project is located on Clifton Hill in Sumner, Christchurch. The house is sited on a steep north-east facing slope overlooking the Sumner township and beach. The house has been sunken in to the hill to create an overall non-obtrusive low lying effect. There are two main wings to the building that are angled to maximise capturing the sun at certain points of the day. As the site faces the east, it loses sun early in the afternoon. The guest wing is placed lower on the site and captures morning and all day sun. The master bedroom and living areas wing captures the sun from rising until it dissapears over the west face of Clifton Hill.

09

GROUND FLOOR PLAN All bedroom and living areas are placed on the north side to maximise sunlight entry in to the house. The building is approached from Panorama Street which sits below the site on the north face. As you come up the

FIRST FLOOR PLAN driveway you are lead around the back of the house where the garage and front entry is situated. Walking through the front door you are faced with a beautiful frameless view of Sumner Bay. The ground floor accomodates

the kitchen, living, dining, guest bedroom wing and garage. Upstairs includes the master suite, office, second living area and entertaining deck to capture the afternoon sun.

UNDERSTANDING RESIDENTIAL SPACES Analyse and create inhabited architectural form and space including functional design requirements for residential activities.

CROSS SECTION For this project we were asked to research into detailed design and present our own architectural details. The windows of this project were analysed in particular. I wanted to create a seamless view of the outside surroundings as if you were not closed inside a house. To do this I created negative details around the window framing to hide the frame from the inside so that each window became a seamless unobstructed picture frame. Every threshold between internal and external spaces have been designed to be level entry by lowering the window framing and adding fixed decking level with the internal flooring. I had a lot of fun researching and experimenting in to how these details could work and be made more architecturally visually appealing in comparison to standard details.

P RO JECT T H R E E TE WHAREORA Is a new science and well-being facility recently completed on CPIT campus.

This project required investigation of possibly converting the building into Student Accommodation.

This project required Preliminary Design proposals suitable for presentation to a management team. The building structure and external fabric had to remain and be re-used where ever possible however new structure was allowed to be added wherever required. Economic viability of materials and changes made were also taken in to consideration.

own balcony space and landscaped area, these units provide an ensuite, kitchen, study area, storage space. For those who like a flatting environment there is the option for 2 or 4 bedroom flats that both provide large kitchens, bathrooms and living areas. All bedrooms allow for natural ventilation as they are all faced towards the external perimeter.

The building accommodates for 61 bedrooms. There is a mixture of living arrangements to suit different needs and styles of living. There are rooms which are simply just a room that join to a secure hallway with communal services. There are also self contained units which are situated on the highest floor to provide extra security and privacy and are given their

The Te Whareora student accommodation building also provides a restaurant, food court, existing gym which was required to be left and a laneway that runs from east to west to connect these spaces and also help the direction of pedestrian flow through the building.

P RO JECT FOU R CONTEMPORARY ARTS CENTRE Providing versatile gallery spaces for modern arts and practical art workshops.

The Christchurch Museum of Modern Arts building is a design proposal for a new public attraction for the city. The arts building is an experimentation of geometrical forms. Intersecting angles act to diffuse an exterior presence and shape the buildings interior spaces to create diverse and flexible exhibition spaces for art to be displayed and enjoyed.

The museum is a permanent institution in the service of society and of its development, and open to the public, which acquires, conserves, researches communicates and exhibits for purposes of study, education and enjoyment, material evidence of people and their environment.

The arts building includes three stories of open exhibition space to be altered to suit the collection of artworks being exhibited. Large geometrical volumes intersect to create angled off interior spaces within a large area where temporary wall systems can be put in place to give flexibility to the exhibition spaces.

CONNECTING TO ITS SURROUNDINGS After the Canterbury earthquakes in 2012 the Christchurch Bascilica was left in ruins and closed to the public. Before this devastation the church used to attract many visitors to this commercial area. The arts museum is a proposal that could bring the public back in to this buzzing space.

The museum embraces the location and is informed by its surrounding environment. The dramatic form of the building is unique and contrasts many of the surrounding buildings which many of that are generic concrete office blocks. The street front views attract visitors from Barbadoes Street and Moorhouse as the aesthetic of the building is extreme.

LEARNING CENTRE AND WORKSHOPS The learning centre is located on the west edge of the museum and is a separate volume which is simplistic in form and helps to connect the building to the rest of the CPIT campus. From the west face the separate facility covers the deconstructivist aesthetic which is hidden behind. The courtyard is also on the west side and could be used by all of the public but would be ideal for students and staff to have a large area of sheltered green space which the campus is currently lacking.

CROSS SECTION 1

The view of the buildings exterior leads the eye in many directions such as to the south towards the stunning views of the Port Hills and north towards the Bascilica. The size of the museum is appropriate to the large scale of the surrounding environment which consists of large busy roads, tall classroom blocks and the grandious Christchurch Bascilica.

STREET SCAPE

CROSS SECTION 2

The street scape works well to bring a lot of motor vehiclists around this space but is not good for attracting pedestrians and cyclists as the road layout around this part of the site is extremely dangerous in the state that it is now. The site sits on the corner of a very busy intersection and is on the opposite side to the over bridge. Pedestrian and cyclists interaction has been taken into consideration during the design process. Actions such as adding a pedestrian crossing, cycleways, medians, speed bumps, and landscaped bays for short term carparking could help to reduce the speed of this intersection. The building is set back from the road to allow for landscaping and gives the street a feeling of open space to breath in this busy space.
