2010 Design studio 2 - Bakery design

The area is split up into 2 areas:

1. The place where the dough is made and ready to be put into the oven. (left)
2. The place where everything is stored onto the shelves or into the freezer. (right)

Because the bakery is situated near a nursery school in the afternoon the children will come out and will be able to see the bread being made through the tall glass window. Here they can experience everything about bread making from knowing how its made to smelling the different aromas that comes out of the over.

2009 design studio 1 - studio apartment

The site of the studio apartment is in Woolloomooloo. This area is situated near kings cross and so the area is a lively place filled with night clubs, restaurants and etc. So this place can be referred to as the place that doesn't sleep. The site is also situated adjacently to a pub as well as having a nursery school next to it. So i decided to design my studio at one end of building and my living quarters on the other end. The studio is raised from the ground but has large open windows. This allows the working area not only be filled with light but also allows for privacy for work from the public whilst giving myself the chance to look out into this lively nieghbourhood.

The site is situated in a forest like area with very tall trees and therefore leaves alot of shade allowing sunlight to seep through to the floor. The corridor therefore is designed so that the light that does seep through the tree canopies hits the glass openings and follows through to the floor of the compartment. I wanted to allow people to feel that they were not restricted to the confines of an apartment but feel as if they are still outside and thus my building tries to balance itself with the natural elements outside so that my building is apart of nature and not trying to take over it as some buildings do.

2007 - resort project

For my first year of design we were introduced to the concept of sketchup and for the final project were asked to design a hotel resort.

Ideas and Thoughts

When i was walking down King Street i noticed the curved road, i thought it would be interesting, rather than a straight one.
the building opposite, saw a facade on the upper storey that had a rhythmic quality, the consitant slit windows, against the curve facade. something i would like to take into consideration, maybe juxtapose it.. since the gallery would have unusual art. maybe have horizontal slits insted of vertical slits?

I dont want to simply create an irregular form, just to symbolise the unusaul artwork inside the gallery
yet i dont want to simply follow the boring old facades, with the awnings..
maybe something with a mix of both... taking into cinsideration of surrounding and opposing it?

there is a bus stop right infront of the site, lot of people stand around there waiting for a bus, sitting on the benches. Maybe i should use architectonics, like benches next to the display windows, facing the windows, showing off the art work, some kind of form, use of door or windows to draw them in.

working from the entrance drawing them all the way to the courtyard
i want to take into consideration of every visiting experience, have all parts of building contributing to the experience.

contribute to the community?
