Studio 5 Posters

My design is based on the analysis of each households living space, the unit is divided into living space (living, dining and bedroom) and working space (kitchen, laundry room, bathroom) two spaces. Then, I used the two surfaces to represent these two a space. Because of the natural advantages of sea views on Bondi, which can enrich the quality the living surface, the living surface can be constructed face to the ocean view. So, I need to create another surface, working surface. My idea is came from the working in the kitchen, I think people's work area is a radius not more than one meter's semi-circular area, and equipment required for the work should be surrounded by people rather than people need to move to use it. I thought The second surface can be flowing and flexible that kitchen equipment can be placed, while providing outstanding indoor and outdoor connecting surface to guide the entire apartment circulation, and interacting with landscape. But while facing the wall cannot achieve a large area lighting or ventilation, which, incidentally, has become my another idea, using this thick walls to protect the privacy of this apartment. By combining these two surfaces and together, I got the initial shape of the building, a long block of apartments.

Next, the entire sit analysis, the Northeast side buildings of the site are higher  which can look into our site, and the Southeast side has the view of the Bondi beach. So I can bend the initial block into a L-shaped building, and place on the Northeast side of the site. On the one hand it can protect the entire apartment's privacy by blocking the views, on the other hand, it create a private communal courtyard face to the sea, and all living surface are facing to the sea and communal garden. And northeast side of the land can be left to become a circulation space. This space has an interesting wall and a lot of landscape compositions communicate with the working surface wall.

The second step, I pull two L-shaped blocks outer to get a secondary garden in the northeast corner. To do so, not only interrupted the long circulation space, and got a sunny garden which has a completely different experience compare with the courtyard space.

The third step will be two slightly rotating of 2 blocks, increasing the courtyard space while make circulation space become opening to the secondary garden rather than being 2 parallel space, This can promote the flow of traffic from spatial aspect.

Restaurant is placed on the road and has 2 floors. First it may get sea views, the second is to enhance the privacy of the Communal garden.

Wall design for work, I have analyzed the human body, and made a 30 cm thick multi-layered walls, which can be easily installed with facilities, lighting, seats. It can be designed more rational and functional in detail, which includes the lighting for different purpose, ventilation needs, vertical circulations, the needs of the seat against the wall.

A total of 10 apartment layout simpler taken two ways. For apartment on north, the majority have a jump-out balcony so that they get a sea view outdoor space. Built-east balcony was dig-in terrace to reduce the overheating summer sun. Dining and living rooms and more outdoor space around the balcony, workspace is a lot of the advantages of using the working surface wall.

There are two structural systems, one is frame structure, making the side closed to the courtyard can have large area of ​​the opening. The second is a simple masonry of structure that will work for their own l oad-bearing of those curve walls.
