ABOUT ME

S

ince I was small I was fascinated by dashing buildings around me and I felt gifted when I received my first LEGO. The joy of combine small pieces and make them work together from such a young age lead me to where I am today. Later on, the attraction for building and making models of the urban surroundings developed and so, to fulfil my desire, I followed this path.

Travelling around Europe with my family has been a great opportunity of improving my knowledge of culture and language wise and so, I realised I can aim further and go to study abroad for my senior years. Besides my communication skills developed throughout the trips and school, I got in touch with different situations which led me to quick decision making, analizing all posibilities, strategy implementation, team building and team work.

I started with my drawings skill from a young age and perform at high level in the late years. I took hand-drawing courses to get in touch with perspective drawing, human scaling, watercoloring and greyscale pictures. Furthermore I have my hands on the IT part of the design building and development along with scheduling softwares and information delivery. BIM and CAD are my speciality of my degree which also include costing, time managing, documentation, legal issues and others. I consider myself ready for any challenge that i will face later on.

Nørrebroparken Facility Autumn 2015 Nørrebroparken, KN, Copenhagen Concept The concept of the new park facility reflects the peoples’ needs and wishes due to survey which have been made in the area. Project includes 3 different social areas based on certain activities: gossip, recreation, knowledge, entertainment, relaxation and sports. Therefore the park helds a coffee shop with library, amphitheatre, hammam and a skate park. The aim of this project is to create urban green space for cultural interaction and knowledge sharing.

How to Coffee house is 2-storey building which has coffee shop and lounge on the ground floor and library with reading area above. Amphitheatre has a spiral shape with central stage for better sound effect. Hammam has a hexagonal shape with the main attraction in the center and massage area around. The skate park has bumps and raillings perfect for outdoor activities.

WIKI House “The Cube“ Autumn 2015 KEA Week Project Concept The main goal of this project is to design a house in the easiest possible way, the way in which any person without any professional construction degree can assembly the house components by himself guided only by the manual of installation. To achieve that, the building is based on timber framing which can easily join together without complex steel connectors or fastening systems.

How to The alternative solution developed is a modular houses construction which can be assembled and transported to the desired place in short time. Finishes amoung with the fittings and plug-ins are installed in the factory line. Structural framing supports an additional one on top so it can achieve a 2-storey building in order to create the best homeliving experience in a lifetime.

Components & Interiors

S

tructural framing is made by 9 wooden boards CNC cutted and shaped and glued together and fastened with wooden bolts. The framing is devided in 4 general components: top corner, column, base corner and beam. Corner and column elements have standard dimensions while beam elements can exceed from 9m to 14m. Each unit is made of 8 “ribs“ with insulation in between, each “rib“ is made of all the elements put together: 2 columns, 2 top corners, 2 base corners and 2 beams. Finishes, windows, doors and equipment can be installed on site or in factory.

Infill Building Ă˜stergade Spring 2016 Ny Ă˜stergade, Copenhagen Concept Infill building in the old center of Copenhagen has to borrow some of the architectural elements of the surrounding buildings. The aim of this project is to create a friendly looking infill building in the heart of the city which has to fit in the spot.

In addition, the building has to have something outstanding and tasty.

How to In order to match some of architectural features of the surrounding buildings, the window sizes, levels and the total height have been adjust to the rest. Due to the orientation of the infill, the shape of the building gave the possibility to install more windows than usual in order to gain as much sunlight as possible during the whole year.

Same rule has been applied to stair cases which have glass walls and additional design feature attached.

Groundfloor is design for commercial areas and leasure.

Sketches & Ideas

D

esigning an infill building according to the existing space was combined with attractive shape and maximum potential of space usage. Starting from L-shaped building and dark court yard, the final proposal represents more organic shaped building made of 3 parts connected by staircase and elevator shaft. Creating a friendly environment in the heart of Copenhagen, the building has garden roof and extended green edges on the facades. Inside, each floor has 4 types of apartments different in sizes and functions. Furthermore, the existing parking lot has been included in the basement of the building.

07 Internship Project: Tureby Alle Summer 2017 Lyngby, Denmark Concept This is one of the many projects I’ve worked on during my internship period at Domus Arkitekter A/S. While on the other projects I was part of a team, this project was individual work assisted by my project manager. The project is a residential building in Copenhagen area which incorporates 2 parts: demolition of existing buildings’ ground floor and errection of new house on top of the existing basement.

Rooms requirement was given by the client but the rest was up to me.

How to Guided by the project manager, I managed to provide to client several solutions having different cladding and features outside but keeping its rectangular shape and floor plans.In the end, client agreed upon one design (pictures) with large living room with fireplace, open kitchen with Velux windows and high ceilling, access to terrace from living room, dinning room and master bedroom.

Developing the concept

I

nitial building had a rectangular shape with the longest side facing the street, but the new house was required to be more spacious and have more rooms for guests and family. The client asked for keeping the basement of the old house in order to use it for storange and equipment and build the new one on top of it, rectangular shaped with the short side facing the street (see pictures on the right; red lines show old, black lines show new construction). The ground floor slab of the existing building was elevated from the soil level by 90cm which, as consequence, created 2 levels in the new house. Furthermore, the client wanted a lower floor in the living room compared with the kitchen and the front part of the house. In the end, the final building was designed in 4 levels: basement, living room, kitchen, guest room (see sections on the next page).

Besides technical drawings made for authorities, client ask for budgeting the whole project whith demolition and new build, excluding the plot. I managed to deliver a preliminary budget based on years’ price data book which consulted with project manager was roughly on the right average on the market for such a project. In the end, I got approval from the client and submitted the project for the legal approval.

BA Project: Sorgenfri Nord Autumn 2017 Sorgenfri Nord 250, Kongens Lyngby

Concept Residential area of multi-storey building with parking facility and shopping area along with green area for relaxation and recreation. Domus Arkitekter design a 5-storey modern building with 2-room apartments with open kitchen, large living room and balconies on bedrooms.

How to In order to match some of architectural features of the given design, I had to find the most suitable building solution for the structure purposes. Due to stability issues the balconies were slitghtly changed and supporting elements (columns) were added on them and also all around the building in key points in order to have the load evenly distributed and keep the initial design as much as possible.

The layout of the basement has changed due to the same reasons and the number of parking places were reduced to the minimum of 2 cars per apartment.

D

esigning a multi storey residential building requires high fire-rating materials acording to Building Regulations. In order to accomplish the desired fire rating level, I implimented a simple solution to prevent or delay the fire sprading across the apartments or levels: load bearing structures and stabilizing walls such as the staircase are REI 120 or REI 60 and the curtain walls such as the interior walls are EI 60, same rating goes for doors. The idea was to create a safe area in case of fire for evacuation and rescue: the staircase which gives access to 2 apartments per level.

Facade

T

he facades are updated from initial design due to structural changes: the layout remains but the balconies facing the courtyard are supported by beams and columns which were missing in the initial phase while the balconies facing the street remained in place. The finishes used for facades are earth-brown colored bricks in Danish pattern and Corten rusty sheets for balconies only. Windows and doors are white painted alu-wood and double glazed. Just to give a unique look, the balconies are placed every second room of the apartment and every second storey of the building and mirrored in the adjacent place as shown in the pictures.

Parking facility

Ventilation Principles

V

entilation was an important part of this project. An HVAC system to supply the apartments with fresh air was necessary to be installed. The polluted air is exhausted from kitchen and bathroom so the humidity in these areas will decrease and fresh air is supplied by defusers installed in the ceilling in the living room and bedrooms (2 in the living room and 1 in each bedroom). The layout showed in the pictures below is carried throught the entire building. The system ducts are dimensioned according to the number of floors they need to pass. One system provides fresh air for the apartments sharing two consecutive staircases.

Structure Principles

T

he structure is based on a frame of prefab columns and beams and load bearing walls. Interior and exterior walls are prefab panels and they come to stabilize the whole structure.

Structure elements: • 220mm hollow core slabs between apartments and 400mm hollow core slabs between basement and ground floor.

• 520mm thick console beams between apartments and 600mm thick console beams between basement and ground floor.

• 360x360mm columns in the apartments and 420x420mm columns in the parking area.
