HUB TOWERHONG KONGEVOLO COMPETITION ENTRY - 2016

HUB TOWER

We suggest that there is an importance in appeasing an ever growing population without impairing the quality of life. The intent is to have a city that has a strong flow of people where the city is future proofed against congestion and a free flow of social transport. This requires infrastructure that must be woven into the fabric of the city. The Hong Kong Hub tower aims to instigate the accelerated growth towards a highly sophisticated system which brings richness in integra-tion to the city.

Commuting is a dissatisfying chunk of our day yet we tend not to incorporate it into architecture. If transpor-tation is an element that is embodied by a skyscraper the stationed node at which the tower exists could set an entirely new standard in the quality of human movement through Hong Kong’s subway stations.

The Hong Kong government has proposed two new transport lines on the proposed site which has potential to be the heart of the Hong Kong Island. The proposal wishes to incorporate them into the design.

By bringing quick interchanges at ground level between public the hub provides a sophisticated connection to adjacent areas. Furthermore, by lifting pedestrians off the street by providing additional sky walks with a sky garden at the highest datum of the tower. The ground space that is consumed by vehicular transport links andconstruction is retained.

The main central core is designed as a “socket” allowing for additional structure to be plugged-in for future iterations of the tower as the capacity and requirement of Hong Kong evolves. The Hub’s “plug-in” system allows for constant expansion of the public transport in the rapidly changing urban capacity. Using this con-cept any new public transport system can be “plugged-in” to the core of the tower without any disruptions to other existing links.

INTERNATIONAL MOTH YACHT FACTORYLondonRIBA PART 1 - YEAR 3

INTERNATIONAL MOTH YACHT FACTORYThe Moth Yacht Factory scheme began as a design model to pro-vide UK sailors with a place where they can design and build their own experimental race yacht. Located next to Queen Mary Reser-voir, which contains 700 acres and is the largest inland reservoir in the south of England, gives sailors best spot to build and try out their own build race yacht. As the trend of designing your own race yacht is growing with in UK, I proposed that an expensive factory could built in variety of locations on site.

The Moth yacht factory was to be a mecca for yacht racers.

In addition to the factory, the scheme included a showroom, a historical gallery, offices and weekend accommodation for the sailors and their family who reside directly above reservoir waters. The playful yet practical structure allowed the scheme to be housed within a single enclosure. The structural concept proposed a modular, tubular umbrella structure which was inspired by a yacht masts tensile structure.The result formed a striking silhouette within its surrounding landscape. Each component of the umbrella module can be produced in factory and assembled on the site. The 16 x 16m components repeats itself to form the footprint of the design.

LOFT GARDENS TOWERNEW YORK

LOFT GARDENS TOWER

The tower is located in centre of Midtown Manhattan, opposite the Rockefeller Centre, occupying almost 600m2 in footprint. The Building comprises 40 units, ranging in size from three to six bedrooms, most of them being triplexes and fourplexes. A open swimming pool with health club and spa divides the mass of the building and separates penthouses from fourplexes. Each triplex and fourplex offers private garden, which occupies almost entire floor, the penthouses have open roof gardens on the north side, providing direct views to Central Park. The residential tower delivers unique loft-style living, each apartment is made out of three to four floors which span or cantilever within single unit space. Every next floor, within a single apartment unit, is set back to allow the sun to pene-trate deep in the space and provide unbroken views of the city from the entire apartment.

Around the perimeter of the towers, a steel bracing system provides the structural flexibility required to support the slim body of the building. By placing the structure and services on the outside, the structural walls do not dictate the plan layout, giving flexibility to the interiors.

BOOK STANDRIBA PART 1 - YEAR 1

MUSIC STANDRIBA PART 1 - YEAR 2

MUSIC STANDMy aim was to design an elegant yet structurally explorative stand for holding books and sheet music. The project was designed for the university PAPER company.

The concept was inspired by the human muscle anatomy and the way the muscle forces work around skeleton structure. The tensile cable structure represents the individual muscle fibres, whereas the stand frame represents the human skeleton structure in an animated form. The design exposes the tensile cables, creating an exoskeleton structure of the stand resulting in a design with intent to be both visually striking and structurally daring
