2. Bethells Beach House Retrofit(Before)
This was a small project that explored the pros and cons of the currentsituation of an existing house and appropriately retro�tting the building to make it more sustainable and low-energy. In this case I chose to place the house on the Western Coast of Auckland by Bethell’s Beach.
3. Bethells Beach House Retrofit (After)
By analysing the existing house and redesiging and retro�tting parts of it, this ensured that the house was better protected against wind, sea-spray and climate changes, while maximising the solar gains that could be achieved.
4. Bethells Beach House Retrofit (After)
An extended sun porch will gather warmth while other additions such as a solar chimney, a vegetable garden and water storage would utilise the location and make the house more self-su�cient.
5. Second Life Library design
Utilising ArchiCAD we learnt about BIM sharing and played around with forms and di�erent tools to create a simple tree hut.
Using a program called Second Life, my colleagues and I simulated a library design that was in�uenced by the stacking of books.
6. Exploratory drawing from a collage
The aim of this exercise was to create a space from a collage and toexplore di�erent ways in which this space could be designed.
7. Hotel Design - Group project
A group project to design hotels that adhered to the ideas of Utopia andDystopia, with the Sitebeing at Waiheke Island and Auckland City.
Each hotel was based on the idea of control and what each would be like under theguise of either a dystopian or utopian soci-ety.
Use of programs suchas Rhino andGrasshopper, ArchiCAD and 3DS Max.
8. Hotel Design - Group project
This hotel was designed to capture the nature of the pre-dystopian society; the place where a large amount of control is exerted in order to attempt a Utopian dis-guise. The winding mesh around the exterior symbol-ises a metaphorical tie within the city, while the boxed rooms seen in the bottom right picture repre-sent the rigid, controlling nature of a Utopian society, as we concluded that a Utopian society tried so hard to achieve an idea of ‘perfection’ it eventually de-teriorates to a site of Dys-topia.
9. Hotel Design - Group project
Our second hotel situated on WaihekeIsland resembled our idea of a Utopian hotel.The dome shape is more natural than the mesh, however both hotels have incorporated the idea of a mesh in order to let light in.
Photoshop was utilised to put together our �nal pres-entation. The colours were chosen to represent the Utopian and Dystopian set-tings.
10. Precedent Study
This was a precedent study of student apartments located at Empire Apartments in Auckland City.
Analysis of the movement within the apartment led to aredesign that better suited the inhabitants.
Materials were also taken into account as the acous-
-ments were considered.
11. Density housing design in Onehunga
This course required analysis of a site in One-hunga to design housing in expectancy forincreased density. In�uenced by Zaha Hadid and experimentation with di�er-ent forms resulted in a design that aims to con-form to thelandscape whileaddressing and representing thedensity situation.
12. Density housing design in Onehunga
My design is shaped to emerge from thelandscape with di�erent housing types on each storey. The claw-like shapefocuses on the idea of enclosing the inhabitants to create a sense of community that re�ects the atmosphere of Onehunga, while the shape givesgives unrestricted views to the outside from every angle. The enclosed space also creates an outdoor park in which theinhabitants can relax.
The 3 demographics we had to cater for were 20+ single people, families of four (two parents and two children), and the elderly. I chose to situate the 20+ single people in the larger building as noise may a�ect the elderly if situated together.The longer end of this building will become a study space enclosed in glass as rooms here would be awkward.
The families and elderly can be found in the smaller curves; this also encourages interaction between the two. Each of the family units have kitchens and the �rst two �oors have two bathrooms.
13. Density housing design in Onehunga
This was an exploration based on abstract drawings and switching between plan and section. We were to design a studio/space for Carlo Scarpa.
14. Studio Space
A long section detailing the levels within the house and the connection to the ground. The room on the right is the intended bedroom with the studio space/living room on the left. The connecting glass corridor allows light to �ow through each of these spaces and to appeal to his interest in the landscape. He also favoured Japanesearchitecture and theJapanese had recurring glass designs andfeatures.
15. Studio Space
A cross section with the bedroom on the left and the bathroom on the right. The idea of this house was to represent the multiple levels traditional houses have, while elevating the bedroom for privacy.
16. Studio Space
An exploded trigonometry of Carlo Scarpa’s house.Materials used - timber, glass, steel.
17. Studio Space
HAWAII EXCHANGE
During a semester in Hawaii for an exchange at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, we did aprecedent study that looked at site manipulation and use of currentlandscapes in order to prepare for our redesign of Thomas Square inKaka’ako, Honolulu.
Brief research was carried out on Victor Civita Plaza in Sao Paulo, Brazil, where I found thatapproximately 20,750sq.ft of contaminated soil was covered by a wooden platform that served as a safer access route through the site and a place to inform visitors about the site.
18. Precedent Study: Victor Civita Plaza
The redesign of Thomas Square was considered to bring the surrounding community together and incorporate the development of Kaka’Ako and Waikiki.After a site visit I decided I wanted to
buildings around the Square such as Honolulu Art Museum and Linekona Art School, The Blaisdell Concert Hall and Straub Clinic. We learnt programs such as Ecotect toanalyse the climate.

HAWAII EXCHANGE
20. Thomas Square Redevelopment
My design of Thomas Square included anamphitheatre on the South-West corner toaccommodate for theBlaisdell Concert Hall and possibly provide music for the Straub hospital patients.
Market stalls would belocated on the North-West corner to try and draw people from the busy South Beretania Street into the Square.
In the middle, the historic banyan trees will be left and a walkway will weave in and out of the roots that displays historical plaques about the Square’s history and provides an inviting atmosphere for people passing through the park.
21. Thomas Square Redevelopment
On the North-East corner a space for art exhibitions caters for the Art School and Honolulu Art Museum.
The South-East corner will provide space for dogwalkers and I designed a three generationalplayground that allows for children, parents andgrandparents.There is a high schoolfurther to the South-East and also near theplayground there is anelevated seating area for high school students to eatpossibly during lunch, or for people to relax in a space away from dogs that may be running around. This dog space also caters for annual dog fairs the locals have in the existing square.
22. Thomas Square Redevelopment
The intertwining beams of the wooden walkwaysrepresent the twisted roots of the banyan trees and create an enticingatmosphere for people that are traversing from one end of the park to the other.As the site is sloping downwards slightly,stormwater runo� is solved by a retention pond near the amphitheatre that will help cool o� thesurrounding areas while also make an appealing spot to relax.
23. Underground Train Station
This was a project located at Auckland University which took into account the proposed train lines and current station in progress at Parnell. Analysis of the site revealed that this would most likely be used by University students, so I decided to place theentrance in Albert Park where it was the most open and able to be accessed by Uni students coming from either side of the park, as this is also a central spot between campus and Queen Street, the main street in Auckland.Circulation
The entrance of the station is facing North-West, which will be the bestorientation for sun angle. The plaza will lead down to a platform that in turn will bring users down to the main platform with the ticket sales and shops.This plaza will also o�er a space for studying orrelaxing, while the skylights gather sunlight that will �lter down to this main platform.
24. Underground Train Station
SECTION BB1:400
SECTION AA1:400
The main platform is a large space that opens up to allow for plenty ofnatural light to �lter down through the multiple meshes. The meshes are designed to imitate trees as people enjoy walking outdoors more thanunderground. Theunderpasses through the University are rarely used unless it is raining, so the idea is to entice people and encourage them to want to wait for the train. The shadowing of the meshes will create an atmosphere not unlike above the ground in the park.
Precedent images the idea of dappled light and the created
atmosphere.

27. Copenhagen Competition
1 minute walk 5 minute walk
We put together a team to redesign Copenhagen Library in Denmark as part of a competition being held in 2014. Our design focused on the movement within the library and the idea of at-tracting pedestrians from either side of the building with the use of the river and the curved shape of the atrium.
Along with the atrium, the library also included sustain-able features such as an intensive and extensive green roof, HVAC system, self cleaning double glazed win-dows, a sloping green wall, and solar panels.
28. Copenhagen Competition
Using Photoshop, the cross-section demonstrates the programmes within the library that were relevant to the requirements, such as multimedia rooms, lecture theatres and meeting spaces, as well as social areas and a bookstore. The atrium serves as the core for the building, while the glass en-courages its own micro-cli-mate and allows a large amount of light to enterboth sides of the structure.
29. Copenhagen Competition
1. Intensive green roof allows for public access and creates a social environment.2. Extensive green roof pro-vides roof insulation and re-duces the urban heat island e�ect.3. Gutter system allows drainage of the roof whle providing water to the green wall.4. Sloping bamboo creates an enticing atmosphere for the pedestrians while venti-lating the air and improving the quality.5. Concrete thermal mass insulates the building and helps stabilise internal tem-perature and �uctuations.6. Solar panel roof allows for maximum solar gains, while being integrated into the glass means light is still allowed to �lter through which also enhances the internal atmosphere.7. HVAC ducts situated on the roof allows for less noise and helps �lter the air.

My development included the use of underground parking to compensate for the de-molishing of the current
-mercial, retail and food sector.
As the building was only allowed to reach a maximum height according to Franklin Council, I kept my complex to three storeys. The top
due to the site being close to the centre of town, this was an idewal location as it meant everything was close by and easily accessible.
