La Casa
Swinburne Student Village
Group/Individual: Individual
Project Site: 4 Patterson St, Hawthorn, Victoria, Australia
Brief: Designing a student village for Swinburne students with the given site which is located on Patterson St. The design must be inspired by contemporary and modular concepts in order to provide an adaptive living lifestyle for students.
Project Introduction: La Casa is a project designed for students, who have to live apart from their families and need a place to call home. By understanding the needs of students, La Casa is designed with the spirit of creating a true shelter to protect students from the night and nurture their dreams.
Programs used: Revit, Enscape, Adobe Photoshop

La Casa Exterior Perspective
The exterior of the house is built with timber following the shape of a gable roof which actually presents the symbolic icon of a true home.

La Casa Interior Perspective
The interior ceiling is equipped with parametric modelling, running from the wall to all over the ground floor ceiling to create a sense of movement. Although the movement of the ceiling parametric model is quite opposite to the exterior of the house with the waving lines, it brings a calm feeling towards the users.
Different from the rest of the interior materiality, the use of the materiality for the stair is concrete, which is rough and bold. Inspired by my personal belief in the hustle and bustle living lifestyle of students, the concrete stair speak for the above characteristic - bold, mobility, and roughness

Being inspired by traditional bricks and the waves of Yarra River, I choose the random shape which is a combination of them two. On the above is the waving character while below is remained the shape of traditional brick.

The building facade, which is acting as a method to prevent direct sunlight during summer, and allow sunlight to go in during the winter season, is equipped

with crafted shading elements.
The exterior of the building is actually speaking for the museum characteristics, which are crafted, uncommon, and detailed. The main entrance which is situated on the South, is equipped with fully sashaless sliding window system in order to receive as much sunlight as possible; while the rest of the building facades are all applied with facades made of crafted shading elements.
The interior walls are applied with the non VOC painting material. In order to highlight all of the artworks, the interior walls are remained white together with a glowy display table running alongside the north area of the building.

Brief: Designing a Co-working space for the post-Covid era (5-7 years later). Connection is created following the biophilia concept in order to reinforce the connection between people, and humans with nature
Project Introduction: Connection is designed following the four basic natural elements, which are: Fire, Earth, Water, and Air. By believing in the inseparable connection between nature and humans, Connection is created in order to make a positive effect on people’s minds and activities.

Connection is created by the intersection of three elements in the proposed design: Wellness, Productivity, and Physical Activities
Creating experiences that provide the rationale for a workplace that replaces functional activities (which are easy to replicate at home) with qualitative, interactive, multi-sensory experiences that put collaboration and culture at the centre.
As such, the post-COVID workplace must include design elements of attraction: architectural-scale, destination-worthy, visual and sonic experiences that telegraph the culture effectively. (Schwarz, A More Revolutionary Vision For Post-COVID Workplace Design, Work Design Magazine)

Qualitative Interactive Multi-sensory experiences + = Collaboration Culture +
‘Secret Garden’ Perspective
Although the garden is only acting as a way to connect the two buildings; however, I don’t want it to be just a hurried passage. For that reason, I added in elements that make it a sense of a place, such as greeneries, outdoor sitting, water feature elements.
Regarding the canopy, I called it ‘Solar Mushroom’ because of the PV panel system on top of it. These ‘Solar Mushrooms’ are able to receive solar energy and transform it into electricity for future users can charge their phones while sitting under it.
