181 MARINE PARADE NORTH, PIHA 05/11/14
The house is a series of pavilions which meander across the site between native vegetation, dissolving into the landscape as it connects to the Western horizon. I have managed this project since the end of Concept design, and I will take it through to practical completion; it is currently in Council for Resource Consent. Management has involved developed design and detailed design with liason with client, council, contractors and consultants, and weekly reporting to Young + Richards practice director.

This is a complete-package modular-designed bach system within the Young + Richards practice. My role is responding to clients’ inital enquiries, with development into site assessment for suitability, customised design options, pricing, consent and construction documentation.

My role in the early stages of this renovation to an existing residence on the beachfront was to explore ideas in the extension of the kitchen and living areas to maintain the views to the East whilst providing a more sheltered outdoor space for adverse weather conditions. Sketch ideas progressed to a plan and rendered images for presentation to the client. Project is now under construction.

built project
This was a collaborative project in which I developed a concept design for a small collection of fales on a section in Rarotonga. The fales are based on a
modular unit size for ease of construction as it was built by non-
skilled workers. The intention is that they are duplicated and repeated on
site in a configuration to form a small village-like collection of dwelling
spaces.

work experience
(opposite page)My involvement in this project for the renovation of a Presbytarian church was to design the new kitchen/reception/servery space at the entrance to the building, plus two more kitchens in other parts of the building. The comparative studies on the opposite page indicate options I presented for the reception area at a preliminary design level. I also played a large role in documenting the building in Autodesk Revit.

The domestic realm following the birth of a child changes in its intimacy and
sensitivity; my thesis questions how architectural explorations into the thresholds
of shared and private space can inform a design which nurtures the relationship
between parent and child without compromising social engagement.
This thesis speculates about the societal undercurrents of the increasing desire for privacy in the Western family home and
investigates the implications of a shift in the way we seek privacy for ourselves and our
families. I am proposing the concept of a shared home for new parents and their
children, entitled 'A private space shared', which challenges and alters the
interrelationship of private and shared space.
The synchronicity in this living environment of permanent and temporary space, private
and shared space, socially inclusive and exclusive space sets up thresholds wherein a broad spectrum of spatial appropriation can occur. The proposed shared home for new parents and their children provides a haven
in which to nourish the intimate parent-child relationship, without compromising social
engagement.

future christchurch: a timber mill
integrated spaces:designated circulation
This project looked at introducing a new program into post-earthquake Christchurch. A cross-laminated timber mill is envisaged to provide the quality resource of engineered timber to rebuild much of the city, combined with an educational centre so that industry people, prospective clients and tourists alike can visit and learn about the resources availabe for construction.
The cell structure of wood formed the basis for formal and programmatic investigation. Studying the flow of nutrients through the cell structure of wood, I became interested in what occurred when the structure was interrupted by an external force, such as fungal attack or exteme climate exposure.
The formal language of the building is influenced by this discovery, wherein an organic structure contorts and infiltrates a stable and ordered external shell. The programmatic layout also derives from the exploration of the behaviour of the cells under external force such as fungal attack. Cell walls begin to break down allowing permeation and movement between.

This project looks at a flexible housing solution in a low-den-sity context. Each dwelling, of varied size, shape and capactiy, is allocated a 'flexible use space' adjoined to the exterior, for growing, parking, recreation or expansion. This space is characterised by steel beams and columns in place to be used as pergola system or framing for future wall, floor and roof panels to slot into, thus expanding the units.
The ground floor level of each 3-storey block of units is submerged 1900mm to address issues of privacy and sympathy to the context of predominantly single-storey dwellings. The land excavated is reused in building small hills for the community in an extremely flat landscape.
