YEAR 2 STUDIO: REGENERATING
My design accommodates for the regeneration of the landscape while heavily reducing the physical impact it has on the site. It repurposes the damaged area to enrich the growth of connections, including the guests with each other and with the natural elements on the site. The design functions aesthetically and practically through qualities introduced by nature, relying on the regeneration of the site to optimise the experience of the guests. Essentially, the flourishment of the landscape creates a synergy between the regeneration of the site and the guests experience, all accommodated within the design.
SITE REGENERATION:
VEGETATION
STEEL FRAMEWORK
CORRUGATED METAL
RUSTED METAL
My design for the accommodation units achieves regeneration by allowing for the opportunity for nature to redevelop and for people to reconnect with the rich landscape. This has been optimised through the consideration of various imperatives, primarily including the consideration of circular economy, sourcing sustainable materials from local sources and heavily reducing the damage to the site. The circular economy of the design includes the prefabrication of units to reduce the site damage that construction may cause, the high durability of materials to ensure a long lifespan and lowered maintenance requirements, and the recyclability of materials at the end of the unit’s lifespan. This approach to design lowers the impact the units have on the site and on the economy, allowing for regeneration and preservation on all scales. Fundamentally, the design visually and functionally blends with the landscape to emphasise the beauty and importance of the natural world, while simultaneously allowing for the opportunity for floral regeneration to rejuvenate the site.
MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE: The short stay accommodation units combine both the artificial and natural elements on the site, creating a unique and exciting design language that harmonises the industrial architecture existing on site with the natural landscape that flourishes and weaves throughout the structure. Guests become curious as they try and understand the architecture and layout of the design, as they are constantly shrouded in either flora or natural materials. Additionally, the atmospheres of the design accentuate tranquility and isolation, achieved through sensuous qualities such as the comfortable spaces and the large sudden views to the landscape. The facilities and accommodation present in the design uniquely allow each guest to have a reflective experience and a close connection to the sites rich natural elements. Fundamentally, the unique language and flourishment of nature in the design creates a curious and tranquil atmosphere for the guests, resulting in a unique experience for the guests.

This technical unit was designed for students to analyse an existing design and propose improvements to enhance it’s sustainable qualities. The design we examined was the VCE and Performing Arts faciltiy at Northcote High School designed by KTA. Throughout this project I came familiar with the Living Building Challenge, and I implemented the required standards into my design, considering material ethics, passive heating and cooling and circular economy.

The final addition to the outdoor gathering space is the vertical gardens placed between the steel columns. Horitzontal steel cabels are tensioned between the columns to accomodate thr growth of creeper vines, which supplky natural insulation to the west as it is only a single brick hit and miss veneer. The air circulated through the permeable brickwork can now be freshened by the vegetation and improve the health and happiness of occupants, along with the thermal comfort. Fundamentally, the design improvements enrich the space’s function as a gathering space, optimising comfort thermally, physically and visually. Students can feel relaxed in the space without feeling constricted or bored, as the space is now alive and enthralling.

THE SHAPE OF THE ROOF MANIPULATES WATER TO PUSH THE WALL EXTRUDES FROM THE WALL AND IS SUPPORTED IT TOWARDS HOLES THAT LEAD DOWN THE COLUMNS. BY THE AWNINGS. THE ROOF DRAINS THE WATER STRIAGHT THE DRIPPING WATER CREATES AN AUDITORY RELATIONSHIP OFF THE ROOF. BETWEEN THE ELEMENT AND THE OCCUPANT.
THE LOUVERED VENTS CONTROL THE AMOUNT OF NATURAL SUNLIGHT ENTERING THE BUILDING. THE OCCUPANT KEEPS A STRONG RELATIONSHIP WITH LIGHT DUE TO THE ROOF TRANSPARENCY.
THE ROOF OVERHANGS THE WALL STRUCTURE, MANIPULATING ELEMENTS SUCH AS LIGHT AND WIND AS THEY ENTER INTO THE INTERIOR SPACE.
