RELEVANCE TO MY DESIGN

Top Left: JOH 3, Berlin 2012 by Mayer H. Architects

The Sculptural design of suspended slat facade draws the notion of landscape in the city, a quality visible courtyard garden and the building's silhouette and layout. Ground Floor facing the main pathway including other commercial spaces in the Utopian community. Generous sized yoga suites open themselves to the view of calm Brisbane views and into the cliff and the courtyard. Spacious and breezy transitions between inside and outside create an open experience in the various floors with surrounding variable heights of the cliff, buildings level and a succession of ramps. My design incorporates facade, lifts, ramps, vies, unique spatial excepeiences with a scale variable in design.

This building is based on a simple system of stacking large timber/concrete slab blocks. They are like building blocks staggered to make a structure with a big dulation of breakwater blocks. They can be made with low price materials therefore being sustainable. The building composition consists of also a roof and opaque glass (you can see out but you cant see in) to enclose interior space of a timber walls. It will give a view and offer a secure place of privacy. Also reflections of light shine through the module inside from the changing break-water structure.


The stacking of modules is the structure of the building and also has a function to the landscape; camouflaging and controlling light and green and leading these factors into the interior spaces which exceed conventional architecture.

This building symbols like Howard Smith Wharf the cultural world of its surrounding. Its dedicated to the surrounding residents and visitors capable of showing a comparison between the liveliness of Brisbane Culture and the charm of its locations.
My design offers retaining historical relevance, adding discontinous elements onto the facade, offers a floating connection and expanding the cliff's natural forms. There are accesses from the bottom and the top, like this inspiational design. There's a connection between the streets, the view, the decks, the modules and Brisbane culture.

My design approach is clear in the transformation of the buildings and formation of connections. The possibilities transform a historical site to have more increased functional evocative aspects. Its achieved through tension and compression components in creating a spatial dimension of horiztonal floating boxes and vertical facade cross hatches. The cross hatch will have a steel grey shade aluminium strips that filter the light inside to the yoga suites and interior spaces. It helps in expressing Jean Baudrillard's phrase of "Architecture is a mixture of NOSTALGIA and ANTICIPATION, the co-existence of history and vanguard".

The use of stone texture for the interior walls offers a new spatial atmosphere of smooth textures. It can be used as a relaxation stimulant and help for massage.

Section Building: Richard Rogers Barcelons Building for a new retail and commercial spaces. It brings the grid formation of the city into the building with ramps. Other pictures: Guggenheim Museum and Ramps of Disability.

Circulation inthe Wellness Clinic is one of Ramp and Lifts. Taking from the top entrance to the bottom level of ramps never fully overlapping from above so its gets light into every module of the building. Its not positioned against the cliff to give a visual attraction, if you want to touch you need to come into the building into the individual rooms and in the yoga suites. There are visual connections designed this way as ramps are not directly over one another.
