BALLONE 2O23

moved to the UK in October 2016. Before deciding to pursue the path of architectural technology, I was a pastry chef for several years and front of house manager in the catering business.

I consider myself as an hard working, ambitious, passionate and motivated person, who can work best in teams and can handle challenges and able to meet deadlines.

am looking forward to start as Architectural Technologist, learning every day and growing within a practice as a professional and team member.

PROJECT PROFILE

The development consists of a three-storey office building that will host the regional offices of the TARP company.

The application site covers an area of 9200 sqm located in Parc Nantgarw, also known as Trefforest Industrial Estate, located 7 miles north of Cardiff and 5 miles south of Pontyp ridd.

The proposed modern office building will en courage creative thinking, therefore its design, layout, lighting, colours and finishes will be designed to this end.

The client requested a final aesthetically strik ing solution, whilst maintaining a best sustaina ble design practice.

The building will be built through structural frame; the maximum gross floor area for the building will be 950m2 over 3 identical floors representing a maximum area of 2850m2

The rear part of the site will host parking spac es, garden and services access for the building.

PROJECT PROFILE

Through a Multipurpose space I wanted to incorporate a place for the Local Community, and to explore the different activities and functions that can take place within one building, so that the business venture can go back into the community. have worked together with a group of 6 stu dents to build a thriving space, that also sus tains its own growth and development, through Food, Education, Creativity and Fun. The site hosted one of the most important coal mines in Wales, which has been disused since 1991, after being active for more than a centu ry. The concept for the building aims to be a bio philic design with the roof structure resembling a bee hive. A bee hive is an organic symbol of community and cooperation.

PROJECT PROFILE

This project was part of a 8 days experience in Rio Architects over the summer.

The brief asked to design the extension of the existing office of Rio Architects, located in Allensbank Road, Cardiff.

The name Parasite indicates that the proposed extension must have its own character but also benefit the office adding extra social and work spaces.

In this project designed extra working spaces, a soundproof meeting room, a client meeting room and a concept table, alongside a social area and a soft-modeling display.
