THE CHANNELSEA COLLECTIVE

URBAN TEST CENTRE

The channelsea river, East london. 40579m2

River remediation through architecture is not prevalent or often practiced.

This project seeks to establish an urban testing facility for the trial of contamination scenarios, which will constitute the remediation of the Channel Sea River.

The project’s primary source of inspiration and implementation will be the utilization of MYCOREMEDIATION (fungus and mushrooms).

This is because, despite being usually disregarded, mushrooms have a great deal of untapped potential towards bio-remediation.

In this project, further bio-remediation techniques were investigated and implemented. This includes phytoremediation, oyster filtration, moss filtration amidst the use of mushrooms.

FUNGAL PODS

The mind-map diagram illustrates the specific fungi or mushrooms, that directly have affinity for certain pollutants and break them down.

The pollutants are given specific classifications, based on research carried out.

Biodegradable Fungal pods were designed to be inserted into the river bed of the Channelsea .

The fungi in the pods, break down the substrates and then, the surrounding pollutants that can be found in the river bed.

The pods are were designed to be created by the community.

The edge of the site was broken down into different scenarios. These scenarios included plants, organisms and micro-organisms being receptive with the river. This creates a symbiotic relationship between the edges and the river.

These scenarios include: Phytoremediative plants, moss and oyster beds for water filtration, mushroom farm and mushroom pod preparation area, amphitheatre for social gatherings and the laboratory facility.

The mushroom farm was designed using previously established, simple methods. The use of contextually designed raised beds that fit the criteria for mushroom farming was used.

The pod preparation area is where the community will implement the use of mushroom pods. The pods will be freshly prepared.

The amphitheatre was designed to be a means of social remediation between the community and the channelsea river.

THE BARN STUDIOS

ART STUDIO

Henwick Rd Worcester UK. 400m2

The tasked aimed at this project was to design an art studio for local artists in Worcester.

Using sustainable materials like glulam structural column and beams for the framed structures, cross laminated timber for the proposed walls and the use of clay bricks and bespoke metal rain-screen cladding, to blend with the surrounding urban fabric.

The structure boasts of 2 open space offices at the top floor of the structure with ample storage, multiple individual studios as needed, meeting rooms and a social space at the reception of the building.

The structure aims at hosting up to 20 individual artists as they produce artistic products.

THE ARCHES COMMUNITY HUB

MIXED-USE COMMUNITY CENTRE

Croft Road, Worcester UK. 1000m2

The aim of this project was to design a mixed use community centre, consisting of event halls, an office a micro library and a roof garden.

Versatile spaces for the community to organise social functions were created. The halls can host functions like adult classes to bingo games or host ceremonies. It has an office space for rent and micro library with an adjoining green roof for the users.

Understanding and analysing the surrounding context was also key in this project.

Extracting inspiration from the Arch flyover for trains adjacent to the site, based on materiality and form. The Arches community hub structure, seeks to blend with the surrounding context.

POOL MEADOW BUS STATION

BUS STATION

Fairfax street, Coventry. 14,933m2

The project focused on the redesign of the Pool meadow bus station. The Pool meadow bus station is the only bus station responsible for bus transportation in Coventry. This structure is one of the oldest buildings on Fairfax street with a unique contextual history.

The new proposal harbours a unique character. The structure is an unconventional green roof which will be cultivated with plants that produce pollen and attract birds and insects alike.

This serves as a meeting point for the prescribed users to socially interact and connect.

OUTDOOR LIBRARY

Namtari village, Zamfara, Nigeria. 2757.25m2

Statistics show that the northern region of Nigeria has a low rate of education due to terrorism, poverty and cultural and patriarchal factors.

The presence of an outdoor library will present opportunities to promote self-learning among the local youth and children.

The project is located in Namtari. This is a village situated at the south of adamawa state with a population of less than 50,000. It is a small community with farming as the main occupation and source of income.

The structure serves to collect rainwater in order to increase and better soil and water quality.

AutoCad SketchUp Vray

The structure is designed using bespoke steel column and beam profiles. Shelves are located in the playful seating boxes. The structure is designed to be self sufficient regarding its energy needs and usage.

APARTMENT COMPLEX

STUDIO 14 / s t u d i o n d ö r t mimarlık ltd, Nicosia, Fevzi Özersay Autocad Sketchup Vray

The project consists of 2+1 apartments . the apartments tally up to 20 units divided in 2 structures. The entirety of the ground floor is dedicated towards parking spaces for the residents.

As part of my internship for studio 14 architects, i was mostly responsible for the facade designs and 3d modelling.

VERTICAL NEST

MIXED-USE BUILDING

Bedrettin demirel street, Nicosia Cyprus. 10435m2

The aim of this project was to design a mixed use building, consisting of residential, commercial and leisure functions with 2 existing structures.

Understanding and analysing the surrounding context was key in this project.

The structure consists of shops that are designated on the high street, gyms, offices, cinema and a community centre.

The vertical nest project, sought to implement all these variating functions with little or no conflict during its use. It also sought to improve pedestrian movement and circulation with the proposal of public squares that connected two streets.

The challenge of this project was designing a unique structure that fits the contextualization of Nicosia.
