PRECEDENT STUDY - FEATHERSTON HOUSE

by Ronbin Boyd

Designed in 1967-69 for Mary and Grant Featherston, two industrial designers, in an inner suburb north-east of Melbourne, this house is located on the threshold between the built suburban fabric and an open area of a park reserve, a creek and the green fields of a school. The design of this residence responds well to "openness", a continuous space with no obvious gaps. It effectively divides the living space in the vertical space, but not simply by the number of layers. It effectively creates a livable and ecological open living space by using the platform and interior landscape. Its large opening to the south also increases its interaction with the surrounding environment

PRECEDENT STUDY - NORTH MELBOURNE TERRACE

by Matt Gibson Architecture

North Melbourne Terrace is the story of an existing inner city A1 listed Victorian Terrace house that had been virtually unaltered since it was built. As with all Victorian Terrace housing, the typology was extremely effective at providing consolidated high density housing in London and many other ‘Victorian’ cities but whose sense of enclosure and lower quality ‘piggy back’ structures mean they are prone to adaptation and (especially in warmer climate countries such as Australia) opening up to a more flexible living programs. Its adaptability in the perspective of the community block and its applicability to historical buildings features are perfect. It adopts materiality close to the characteristics of the block, and at the same time achieves sustainability. In the interior design, large-scale open windows are used to achieve harmony with nature. It is limited by the site to design a moving line that runs through the east and west, but still can freely reach any area, achiving spatial permeability.

East-west penetrated circulation line.

SWOT DIAGRAM - Community

●Well considered low density residential area ●Large public communal space ●Easy access to surrounding facilities

- Orientation

● The site faces north, provided good lighting conditions ●The site located at the corner, the exit faces the main road, providing with convenient transportation

- History & Cultures

●Earlier planning and construction, historic neighborhood

- Circulation & Threshold

●Compared with other properties, site selection has a more independent circulation ●The threshold has a longer depth of field, giving residents more privacy

STRONG

WEAKNESS - Community

●Less People Attachment Clear boundary causing less connection ●Low usage of exisiting parkland ●Lack of active gathering space

- Orientation

● The site faces toward road intersection, huge noise maybe caused

- History & Cultures

●Reservation of heritage & other historical context

- Climate

●Heavy rainfall ●Poor drainage condition

10

- Climate

●Environmental changes caused by global warming (temperature rise, sea level rise)

- Public Health

● COVID-19 ● Life limitations during post pandemic era

- History & Cultures

●The altitude of growing radical aesthetics towards the conservation of traditional architecture

- Urban Morphology

●Rapid urbanization and population growth ●Noise from car-dominated roads and occupation of public space by vehicles

THREATS

OPPORTUNITIES ● Adopting Sustainable design ● Increase ecological barriers, reduce living density and the probability of contact with infectious diseases ● The importance of building setback, maintaining the advantages of the original building threshold ● Use sustainable materials and achieve street style consistency in material visual identity and building design form ● Increase the capacity of vehicles within property, saving space for public greening ● Add different rooms focusing on different functionality, satisfy the need of population growth and increase of people diversity

Greening

The zoning is determined according to the surrounding conditions (noise and circulation)

Garage

Form the main space vertically upward, and compress part of the threshold as a garden to form a biological barrier.

Form a ladder as the connection of vertical space and effectively distinguish the upper and lower living space.

Skylight Oppenings

Entrance Hall allocated at east side avoiding noise Garage for bikes &vehicles Skylight Frontyard as main threshold

Solar Condition The activity space and garden are effectively enjoy the solar light.

Light Garden & Curved Glass

Circulation & Threshold

Provide ecological diversity and comfort for the residential area. The curved glass breaks the traditional sense of edges and corners in form, forms a contrast visually, and provides a better vision for interior.

Historical Form

The newly generated moving lines are more conducive to the smoothness of circulation and the capacity of more vehicles.

Fitting the original site in form and materiality, hence the region does not lose its cultural and historic nature

Typology & Materiality Reservation

Due to the premature pursuit of practical effects, in the massing process, the architectural form did not respond well to the previous research, which made the interior space extremely dark in terms of lighting environment, and the simple brick structure and the setting of the sloped roof were not efficiently to conform to its original form with bringing livability and sustainability. The ground floor is less considered for the integration of nature, and it confuses the use of garage and bicycle storage.

This work still jumped to the rendering stage prematurely. For the intuitive visual effect, there are still more factors that affect the living environment that can be considered. The review pointed out that the circulation line on the ground floor is unnatural and the connection with the south side is relatively weak. Meanwhile resulting that communal space on the ground floor is not livable and do not interact with exterior. Secondly, the roof garden should not be on the southernmost side of the Unit (it was not changed in the later stage, limited by the slope of the light).

KEY DESIGN FEATURES #1 The center of the house, which has the most open space and the most abundant light, is used as the front garden of the house, and is installed in it as a connection of spaces through stairs. The curved glass behind it is also the focus of the design, which can make the active area in the house is able to fully enjoy the natural light and make people feel a sea less integration with nature within indoor.

KEY DESIGN FEATURES #2 The south side of the roof is used as the garden on the upper floors, which is limited by the light cutting. Putting the garden on the south side is a compromise, but by planting evergreen plants, it can resist the cold wind from the south in winter and provide thermal insulation for the interior.
