THE OBROUND

BIRMINGHAM 2024 310m2

PASSIVHAUS STRESSES ON THE IMPORTANCE OF BUILDING ENVELOPE DESIGN. BY LOOKING AT THE HEAT LOSS FORM FACTOR (HLFF), A PROTOTYPE OF A SEMI-DETACHED HOUSE IS DEVELOPED TO IMPROVE THE MOST ENERGY EFFICIENT CUBIC FORM THAT REGRETABALLY LACKS THE VISUAL APPEAL AS POINTED OUT BY A NHBC REPORT IN 2016. THE OBROUND IS ABLE TO ORIENTATE WITHIN A TYPICAL ELONGATED PLOT IN UK TO BENEFIT FROM SOLAR ENERGY AS A RESULT OF MAXIMIZED SOUTH-FACING FACADE AND THE INTRODUCTION OF SUNSPACE.

NEXT GENERATION HOMES - PASSIVHAUS PORTLOOP, BIRMINGHAM 2023 m2

NEXT GENERATION HOUSE DESIGN MAKES USE OF MODERN METHODS OF CONSTRUCTION (MMC) TO IMPROVE BUILDABILITY THAT SPEEDS UP THE CONSTRUCTION TIME AND BETTER CONTROLLED QUALITY AS A RESULT OF OFFSITE PREFABRICATIONS AND ASSEMBLIES.

THE INDIVIDUALITY OF A HOME COMES FROM THE SENSE OF UNIQUENESS DERIVES FROM THE ABILITY TO SHAPE OUR IMMEDIATE ENVIRONMENT. THE AUTONOMY EMPOWERS INDIVIDUALS. IT IS THE SAME ENERGY THAT EXPANDS TO CREATE A HEALTHY AND BALANCED COMMUNITY. THE CHALLENGE IS TO ACHIEVE INDIVIDUALITY IN STANDARDIZATION, WHICH IN CONTRAST, REQUIRES HIGH DEGREE OF CONFORMITY IN BOTH DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PROCESS.

ADAPTING TO THE CHANGING NEEDS OF A HOME BY DEFINING MODULES THAT CAN BE INTERCONNECTED IN VARIOUS COMBINATIONS TO CREATE A SUITABLE SPATIAL LAYOUT. THE VOLUMETRIC CONSTRUCTION OF 3 SIZES OF MODULES PROVIDES DIFFERENT SPATIAL LAYOUTS WITHIN THE SAME-SIZED STRUCTURE, BUT OF VARYING SETS OF WINDOW/DOOR OPENINGS TO SUIT. SERVED AND SERVANT ZONES ARE CLEARLY DIVIDED AND FIT INTO THE MODULE. ADAPTABILITY TO USER’S NEEDS ALSO LENGTHEN THE OWNERSHIP OF THE PROPERTY MAKES MULTI-GENERATION LIVING TOGETHER POSSIBLE.

THE EAST GATE REQUIRES A NEW LOOK AND ADDITION OF ESCALATORS THAT FACILITAE THE PEDESTRIAN’S ACCESS TO THE UNIVERSITY CAMPUS. THE SITE IMPOSES DIFFICULTIES IN ESTABLISHING REUSABLE STRUCTURAL SUPPORTS WHILE SITTING ABOVE THE EXISTING DRAINAGE RESERVE AND UNDERGROUND UTILITIES, AS WELL AS ITS ADJACENCY TO A DECLARED MONUMENT. THE NEW ENTRANCE DESIGN INTRODUCES A FACETED GLASS ROOF THAT ORGANICALLY TAKES FORM IN RESPONSE TO THE SURROUNDING ELEMENTS, AND NATURALLY LEADS THE WAY UP TO THE EXISTING LIFT TOWER.
