2010A LANDSCAPE IN A DWELLING

PROJECT KEY POINTSSPATIAL ORGANISATION: Skewing of the walls to elongate the possible lines of sight through the relatively narrow terrace. Movement through spaces becomes a “meandering” similar to that in the Royal Botanical Gardens.

CIRCULATION: A central atrium accomodates the feature staircase and creates a focal point and connection between the floors.

PerspectivesTOP LEFT - Full height atrium and vortex staircaseMIDDLE LEFT - Dining and living roomBOTTOM - Tree sketch from research phase

TOP RIGHT - Terrace PlansBOTTOM RIGHT - Terrace long section

The “Landscape in a Dwelling” project involved a client with a connection with the Royal Botanical Gardens and an existing terrace house with physically constraining dimensions.

The proposal aims to maximise the sense of space by skewing the rooms to allow for greater spans of walls and to give a sense of flow through the dwelling.

2011 WONDER ROOM

The “Wonder Room” seeks to convert a 1m cube envelope into a capsule that promotes creative thinking.

The proposal takes its cue from an existing structural col-umn, reinforcing its heroic proportions through the re-peated modulation at a smaller scale.

Context within Red Centre

PROJECT KEY POINTS

FORM:Repeated circular timber units are “extruded” from the floor and ceiling plane anchoring the installation to the fabric of the building. This modulated unit echoes the structural column that is encompassed by the room.

FUNCTION:The installation possesses sculptural qualities that rein-terprets the perception of the structural column as an obstruction within the gallery space into the hero of the Wonder Room.

2011 STUDENT HOUSING

The “Blackwattle Bay Student Housing” project involves an ex-isting silo that is to be converted into a vibrant student housing complex.

A precedent study of surrounding student accomodations re-vealed an emphasis on the communal style of living. Having identified this, the proposal puts the student lifestyle at the forefront with an emphasis on the celebration of community. The provision of ample shared zones promotes and nurtures the unique qualities of student interactions.

PROJECT KEY POINTS

SANDWICH CONCEPT:Private accomodation is sandwiched between a series of open communal spaces designed to encourage healthy social living. The top floor epitomises this in a large shared living and din-ing zone that takes advantage of the views towards the Sydney skyline.

PRIVATE TO PUBLIC GRADIENT:The bedroom pod serves as the most private space which then branch off to a shared living and dining between two pods. On the other end of the gradient are the communal spaces shared by all students.

2012WINE BAR PHASE 02

Diezzion Wine and Tapas Bar embraces the unique Sydney urban fabric and trans-forms the historic building on Bulletin Place into a sanctuary for wine.

This is done through the insertion of a large undulating wall structure that creates an intensified threshold between the city and the bar/restaurant.

The wall defines a new volume, internally lit and pulsating with the energy of the programs happening within.

THRESHOLD:The insertion of a second undulating architectural fabric clad wall defines

a full height void that recognises the scale and rhythm of the historic facade.

DESTINATION: The larger scale of the second floor is topped with a large skylight that

punctures through the ceiling plane revealing the surrounding urban fabric.

Second Floor

The laneway has been identified to function as a thoroughfare and as a shared “thread” of the surrounding buildings, what this

proposal aims to do is turn the laneway into a destination.

CONCEPT - ORIGAMI“FOLDING”

The concept of origami encapsulates the folding qual-ities of the furniture piece. The unit consists of a trian-gular plane segmented into triangular pieces that can fold in various directions allowing each piece to take on several functions.

The furniture pieces define the inner wall and anchor off the main design interventions outlined in Phase 02 of this project.

FLEXIBILITY:The segmented nature of the planes allows for various ar-

rangements to suit different function and event requirements.

INTEGRATION:The triangular form of the furniture blades allows them to

dissolve seemlessly into the undulating wall structure as an internal skin.

MODEL MAKINGCONCEPTUAL

Model making has been a core skill in visualising the spa-tial and volumetric qualities of architecture and the enve-lopes created that the interventions of interior architects subsequently occupy. Conceptual models are crucial in the initial stages of design.

LOGO DESIGN 2012

2012 INTASOCLogo Designs

Winning Design 2012The concept behind the winning design is to represent the creative thought process of the interior architect. This notion of “thought” has been abstracted into a multitude of lines and the circular silhouette they de-fine makes symbolises the building envelope in which our designing occurs within.

EXHIBITION IDENTITYINTERIORSPECTIVE EXHIBITION IDENTITY

The graphics team for the annual Interiorspective exhibition was required to organise and design the visual identity of the exhibition.

The proposal consists of an installation within the gallery space with yellow tape that connects the “threads” of ideas between the four year groups and presents them as a cohesive evolution of ideas through the progres-sion of the program.

These threads also serve as navigational aids, an issue that was identified at previous exhibitions.

2012

The underlying concept behind the identity was the “conceptual stage” which was identified as a stage that is often overlooked at the exhibition

of the final design projects.

The aim of this was to recognise and celebrate the raw and abstract na-ture of these initial conceptual stages as pivotal to the end product.
