Ambalama
The Sri Lankan term Ambalama describes a simple pavilion for anyone that requires a temporary shelter or rest. It supplies the bare minimum needed, beautifully crafted and welcoming anyone and everyone. This contemporary Ambalama, located on Melbourne’s Singer’s lane, is a project aiming to provide better crisis accommodation services lodged discreetly within a commercial hotel.
Orange door is a Victorian Government organization that provides support for those experiencing domestic violence and in immediate need of crisis accommodation. They use hotels across Victoria to house victims in readily available rooms. The Oaks hotel on William Street (my employer) has previously worked with Orange Door but no longer welcomes these people. The stigma for a guest of the hotel and a person in need of crisis accommodation using the same building is seen as unmanageable at the hotel. Yet it seems more absurd to turn away those in need of support from a place they might already be familiar with. Could re-design of the space help readdress this matter and find a way to house the crisis accommodation within the building itself?
The project reworks the building, inserting new rooms and Orange door lobby, while re-purposing the inefficiently used hotel rooms, storage spaces, service entrances and car park levels to provide guests more rooms and support facilities. This existing buildings configuration with several different parallel functions helps start that process of being hidden in plain sight. Intricately tucked away on and accessed from the rear service laneway, the Ambalama welcomes everyone, quietly.

The project is described using a series before and after images of each of the spaces repurposed for the Amablama. The rear entrance of the city mart is now the entrance to the amabalama. Signified by an orange door in an alley, hidden in plain sight. The door leads into a lobby space with furniture designed to sit stand or smoke. The vending machines provide room keys and other necessary supplies. Within the shared lobby area are changing rooms and showers, with a laundry door that collects the clothing at the loading dock of the hotel separating darks and whites so the guests of the Amabalama can benefit from utilizing the services of the Hotel. The projects seeks to intricately design and tweak the existing spaces to accommodate the Amablama.

The existing car park levels occupy the dinning area. The obsolete dumwaiter previously used to transport linen to the linen storage, is now used to transport meals donated from the restaurants in the area from the loading dock below to the dinning space.
The dinning space doubles as private meeting rooms for the orange door counselors to meet with the guests. The furniture is designed to be seperated so they can be used in seperate rooms, as screens made of repurposed old window screens and grills from the hotel.

"Meet me half way" conditions that must
be met vs should be met
The suburban nature is one that bares no strong identity making it an ideal specimen for experimentation. While some guidelines lead towards upholding basic communal and environmental wellbeing, most of them deem quite ineffective when considering the larger picture. The guidelines not only limit the capabilities of the suburban realm as a testing ground but don't even consider the option. The mere scale and vagueness of the guidelines deem them highly ineffective and give the designers no choice. They reduce the lifestyle of its user to mere business numbers and boxes to be ticked by authorities.
My Proposition to the authorities is to meet me half way - A negotiation. It will reiterate the "Employment Land Planning and design Guidelines", that must be met and that should be met. It understands that what must be met sits at the bare minimum requirement of the level of consideration for a sustainable experimentation ground. Which is also meant that without such level of consideration and thinking, developing the land simply for human occupancy becomes unjustifiable. Through the studio After, here and there, the project studies the present planning guidelines - The business as usual model only to propose through design and testing guidelines that must be met in the year 2022 and a new set of guidelines for year 2050 for what not necessarily needs to be met but what should be met to achieve a cultural capital through environmental innovation. The site is developed in thirds leaving resources and 2/3rds of the site to be developed further, by learning from the mistakes of the previous development, not having to demolish to make space.
The typology, structure and environmental system implemented is first explored and designed by studying existing systems to be brought together. In 2022 the building has a system of stepped storm water filters through a passive system of roof gardens and which plays a major role in the biodiversity concept of re-wilding the native wetland ecosystem. In 2050 the gutter and roof gardens are replaced with an algae facade system that provides shade, generates oxygen and provides a purpose for an otherwise obsolete office building at night.

Structure - Concrete slab
The Initial design stems from an off- centered courtyard typology. With the courtyard orientated towards the cardinia drain. The structure consisting of a concrete anchoring core and two steel wings protruding outwards.
When zoning out the main activities in the typology model, a conscious design decision was made so the stepping down was made proportionate. The parking located at the rear end and the lobby and vertical access to pedestrians and drivers alike. Other programmatic components are placed facing the courtyard, with pedestrian physical and visual access, to maximize footfall. The offices are placed on both wings with the capability of multiple tenants to occupy the space with adequate privacy. The structure of steel and concrete, is of concrete colonnade at the center and the concrete core with concrete slabs. The steel truss system hangs off the concrete structure to hold up the floor plates. The fins present provide shading from east- west solar gain. With sloped roofing to drain out storm water
The building has a system of stepped storm water filtration through natural system of roof gardens and which plays a major role in the biodiversity concept of re-wilding following the concept of a manifesto of a third landscape. The humble disjointed gutter plays a heroic role as the main element of storm water distribution but also a visually tricks the eye as an element holding up the levels of the building
The storm water drains through the gutter while being filtered through the roof garden system And then to the open space which steps down to drain into the cardinia drain

It reiterates the definition of what should be met, to a proposition which answers the question of "what more can be done, once the bare minimum has been met". Along with technological advancements and growth in many other sectors, sustainable design systems must also be redefined. The suburbs act as the best experimentation grounds for such propositions
The rest of the site is populated with two more blocks of the same off- centered courtyard model after testing out multiple iterations of it. The old facade is now revisited and renewed in 2050. Algae growth tanks become the facade of the building, generating bio gas that can be used to run the precinct. The photosynthesizing algae collected in the tanks act as a screening device to filter light and while creating a shaded interior.
The algae needs CO2 that is mainly collected t from the car park with big vents taking up the polluted air, where then a conditioning unit on the roof level pumps down the co2 and nutrients needed for the algae.
The algea culture grows in the facade tanks and the algea mass sediments at the bottom of the tank
The oxygen that is produced by the algea is filtered and bubbled through the rewilding wetlands
The sedimented mass makes it’s way to the conditioning unit where the algea can be harvested and stored on ground level for collection
The filtered storm water bubbles it’s way through and makes it’s way to cardinia drain. The typical office building functions from 9-5, giving the night time for maintenance and collection of algae mass is distributed among the community

Urbanic A'Beckett
Temporarily permanent permanently temporary, constant state of flux, and always under construction -- some of the ways I'd describe the nature of A'Beckett as we know it.
The urban nomad living a temporant life in order to survive.
There is a certain clarity that emerges from acknowledging what already exists and working for it and not against it. That is what the urbanic model dares to do. To define A'Beckett just as we know it. Acting as a catalyst for change, an advocate for metabolism. It accepts and embraces the temporary nomadic nature that exists.
With the value of land in the city rising day by day, parcel 2 dares to define A'Beckett street just as it is... ever-changing/ constantly under construction/ temporarily permanent/ permanently temporary
The model is brought to life by a set of tools that will be the inception of the system. The tools are meant to instigate and stimulate change. The tools are no stranger to A' Beckett's constantly under construction aesthetic.
A permanent tower crane plays a major role in the system while acting as a mechanism that promotes metabolism it also acts as a permanent structure for the modules built around it.
The shipping container - A versatile option for a plug-in module, deems suitable in the case of A'Beckett. Scaffolding makes its way as the temporary structural element and houses vertical transportation and services, which can then easily be adjusted as needed.
The 3 tower cranes are strategically placed on A'Beckett street, their radii limit the movement where the building and relocating may take place.

The Urbanic model taking over the street
The shop house and the tube house
The tube house makes its way to the system in the form of a shop house that plugs itself into the levels of the car park above.
As per the negotiation the car park's facade was to continue on the house, with minor alterations such as operability of the façade.
As time passes the shop house switches out to a student tube house - on a low budget the student keeps the façade intact.
Taking a bit the car park with them.
A number of such projects are designed along A'Beckett Street to get the experiment started. Each project will demonstrate different uses of the system.

The seasonal school
On the intersection of Queens and A'Beckett the institution that was once suppressed by a car park now has the chance to take the lead as a campus that changes according to Melbourne's ever changing weather for an optimal learning environment.
The glass block facade used for the facade of the institution is continued on the container units placed on the roof of the car park. The logos, colours and themes are adopted for a continued collegiate feeling, showing the versatility of a container.
Not just another new cleaning device
While these long term uses of the crane may take place. There are some things that can be helped more often. No longer will anyone have to risk their lives cleaning the monstrous facades, as they find refuge in a crane, and make it their own.

Virtual Golf Academy and Recreational Center
Golf was introduced as a recreational sport to Sri Lanka by the British and soon was converted into an elitist sport that grew around the 'sports club culture' enjoyed only by the privileged. That being one of the main barriers for the growth of golf as competitive sport in the country keeps away the more talented simply due to their underprivileged status.
The nature and location of this site, context and project gives a tremendous incentive to break this barrier of a controversial unspoken culture. Generations of the Kitulwatta low income settlement has found employment as caddies in the neighboring Royal Colombo Golf course. Creating exceptionally talented golfers with no access to play due to the status structure and culture of the club.
This project will work towards breaking this conventional socially rooted barrier by opening up golf to the general public, re-introducing the sport as a socially connecting sport that brings people together as opposed to the current prevailing isolated elitist culture. With the end goal of creating pro golfers and taking golf to the international competitive level.
The site can be used as a connecting link of two green pockets located in a highly urbanized and populated area. The connecting element had to be designed to give a glimpse of every aspect the golf academy to anyone passing through the site. Therefore it not only connects the green links but also builds curiosity in the general public towards this new identity of golf.
The master zoning of the site is carried out in order of difficulty. With spaces designed and themed with activities and awareness in accordance with level of difficulty, in all building levels. This to ensure that the journey taken by the user and the experience of space helps one grow interest in the sport. This acts as a filtration process by which the players showing most interest will be filtered across the design.

Green Building Council HQ
The green building council is the sole organization with a mission of developing sustainability of the built environment by transforming the way it is planned, designed, constructed, maintained and operated. The head quaters of such an organization should live by example of the overall definition of sustainabilty. Which includes environmental, economic as well as social sustainabilty. The site and its context in interestinly located at what would develop to be a concetrated pocket with high foot traffic, with an opportunity to not only act as an example but also an awareness and information center for green building services. The original form of the building is brought to light by studying the patterns of user movement around the node, and designing not just a building but a backdrop of a socially sustainable pocket. which works as the main concept of the project. The context is a busy node with commercial, health, utility and recreational spaces surrounding it. Makes it an ideal location to attract the public to promote awareness on the topic. The ground level therefore acts as the main awarenss center with exibition spaces that promote green building, health food cafe, recreational water front spaces etc. This promotes the pedestrianims in the area and activates the water front zone. By increasing the foot fall and renting stalls and promotional spaces for the sales of locally sources sustainable building materals and methods. Spaces designed for weekly demonstrations of the use of alternate energy sources for the public of the area can be seen.

Community Housing
Kitulwatta
kitulwatta is a cluster of low income dwellings located at the heart of the city of Colombo. Surrounded by leading schools and institutions it sits on prime property. The current dwellers live in under developed low income housing scrapped together and of very low standards of living. The project works on relocating the people in better quality housing in the same location, while considering their informal lifestyle. Previous relocation projects have immensely failed as crime rates have risen and dwellers not accepting the housing as they are poorly designed to suit the user. The lifestyle of these people have been further studied and analyzed to not only give them a new a home but a new home where they can carry out their daily life style. Sitting by the side of the road sipping a cup of tea, reading the news while the children play on the street, is the lifestyle they spend.
Vinuri De Silva Selected Works 38
Challenges to be addressed by new scheme
The solution propsed by the government - Residents of these dwellings are treated as unauthorised dwellers even though majority of them own the plot of land and are relocated into multistory high rise buildings where their daily way of life is highly disturbed.
The conditions of their lives such as the number of people living in one home is constantly changing and growing, noticing the absence of flexible homes that cater to their growing families.
Many of them lose their daily income as most of them depend on roadside shops that sits along their home.
Lack of identity in their homes, when relocated to flats.
Lack of natural light and ventilation
The waste of space - poorly designed spacial layouts - Lack of safe public recreation
Design Solution
Flexibility - The design sits around a grid type modular housing where a permanent steel structure is provided together with standard low cost housing amenities. A single grid unit consists of three housing units designed to suit an extended family (8-10 members), A family with children(4-6 members) and a house for 2.
The modular grid system supports extendability of the house by simply adding in new cubes. As the family grows or when the need for space commercial purposes arise the house is designed to be flexible, within limitations of obtaining legal natural light and ventilation and public spaces.
Two housing clusters have been designed. One cluster shows what will be initially provided. the other shows the legal extendable areas, by each house.
Adaptability - The community will be relocated in new homes in the same neighborhood. Therefore they will easily adapt to new homes and carry out their way of life. Extendable housing also helps adaptability when the need for change arises.
Identity - These new homes will not restrict their right to making their houses homes by bringing in their identity into the mix. A functional and methodical canvas is provided to them to make it their own. Which ultimately leads to satisfaction of the user.
Vinuri De Silva Selected Works 39
After conducting many surveys and interviews with the locals three types of dwellings seemed necessary to accommodate the different needs of families.
Further more the location of the family home of 8-10 in the middle of the plot is a design decision made with the knowledge of the life style of the locals, where communal living is at its core. The extended family of 8-10 will at all times have someone present at home due to a the number of people with ranging age gaps, this means that they share and trade responsibilities more often with the smaller families such as baby sitting or taking care of the older residents in need of assistance.

Street view of the residents occupying the new homes, and integrating their life style seamlessly to the adaptable model. Community housing as the name suggests tells us more about the user. The community and their life style on the streets. As their homes provide for very little common shared recreation space the people spend more time on the open street. Catering to this life style and habit is vital for the success of this housing project. Apart from the design decisions made in terms of flexibility, adaptability and identity other small yet thoughtful design decisions have been taken to preserve this culture and keep the user satisfied. The staggering of the positioning of alternately laid housing cluster creates a pocket to accompany this life style. The open balconies with the ability to converse with neighboring units, benches on ground level under the shade of an elevated unit, the use of low cost ventilation blocks not only providing natural light and ventilation but also helps a house wife cooking in her kitchen to keep a close watch of her children playing outside as well and include her self in the gabbing of her friends who she sees on the benches right outside. A new house that is functional, but also helps them live their usual lifestyle style making it a home.

A small space
This free lance project features visualizations of individually designed small spaces. The main focus of the task is to showcase the visualization and render quality achievable by using Lumion and Photoshop. The small spaces designed include indoor and outdoor spaces, showcasing the play of light and shadow, and mainly how different materials interact. An interesting component of this task was visualizing glass and mirror to look " as real as it could be" with the intention of learning how to communicate the design better and to understand the nature of the materials.
