Through this project we were asked to collaborate and work
within groups and questions the current and future state
of the office. Bürowelt asks the question of how can office
design contribute to a more collaborative environment and
it is situated within the context of technological innovations
such as digital mobility and infrastructure in regards to the
office and the ways we worked, work and will work. Bürowelt
is a building re-use project. We were assigned the site and

THE CLOUD

Through a thorough an investigation and analysis of the
Harwell Science and Innovation Campus, home of SAC,
it was identiﬁed that the campus has a great potential in
becoming something much more meaningful for all the
members that operate within it. Scatter Cloud aims at
engaging the wider community and acting as a mediator
within the campus. The project takes on a holistic approach
on both the current and the future masterplan of the
campus, where threats and weaknesses are turned into
opportunities for the wider context. By stripping out the
modern office typology, its physical remains are scattered
across the campus. With this addition, the campus takes
on a more dynamic approach, better suited to the needs
and requirements of places of work of the future. The
Cloud, the new centre for the campus, is a living breathing
machine ﬂexible and adaptable to human and weather
events and conditions.

ACADEMIC02.

Mountain 59N is an understanding of Orkney Islands’
current renewable energy context and its huge potential
in energy generation. Accompanying this potential and
major shift towards renewable energy are a number of
issues and difficulties such as the curtailment of wind
turbines and the low energy capacity of the sub-ocean
cables that export energy to Mainland Scotland.
The proposal responds to these issues and acts as a
paradigm shift in the way we perceive, install, use,
experience renewable energy sources and adds new
ways to interact with them by implementing them in our
everyday lives.
The idea is simple:
buy cheap energy when demand is low, store it and sell it
back at a higher price when demand is high. The amount
of energy storage units within the site correspond to the
number of households that can be provided with a bridge
in the Gross Domestic Income shortfall, between the
Highlands and Central London, of £7000 (project brief).

Out of multiple testing and experimentaion of multiple
case studies, the Tesla Powerpack as selected as the most
efficient one currently being implemented. In the case of
the proposal though, the powerpacks do not only store
and release energy, but also create space for new types
of interactions and experiences, never seen before by
the Islands, and also heat up the houses that are placed
on top of them.
The proposal uses the site in Orkney as a case study, but
the idea is that it can be replicated anywhere and adapt
around local climatic conditions, socio-economic factors,
politics and local topography.
This is how £7000 of energy storage looks like.

Introduction
Thefoodhubisaresponse
to the industrialised food
system that concurs our
modern lifestyles. The
system is characterised by
alackoftransparencythat
results to the deception
of the consumer and it is
further associated with
high product prices, low
health status and multiple
food security risks.
Vision
The vision is for the
regeneration of the
deprived south part of
the city, by creating a new
city centre where both
immigrants and locals
are brought together
through the common
need of exchange and
nourishment. It aims
to create a meeting
point and place of social
interaction where people
can buy food that can be
tracked all the way back
to the local farmer.

The idea
What brings people
of all backgrounds,
sexes, social classes,
and race together?
Food.
I have a great interest
and curiosity in how
our cities are fed
and also how they
are going to be fed
in the future. What I
discovered through
my research is that we
have lost touch with
our food. I believe
food has invaluable
economic and social
power that is capable
of solving multiple
problems within our
our modern cities.

Research method
To better I understand our food system I have visited
existing markets, both indoor and outdoor, small and
big. I have discovered the way meat and vegetables
go from farm to plate. I have studied the structure of
the medieval English town, and discovered that the
market square once used to be the centre of all social,
economic and recreational activity. It was not only a
place of exchange, but a place to meet and interact with
one another.
The knowledge and understanding derived from the
study and research formed the foundation and spark
of the food hub. A hub that looks back in time and
applies successful exchange methods and the simple
way of living. I went back to the history of Newport and
discovered that once food was coming in the city via a
canal, which was turned into a motorway in the 1950s.
I proposed to reopen the canal, having Utrecht as a
secondary example, and do things the way they used to
be done before. It is not shopping. It is not exchange or
maximum economic gain. It is a celebration of food and
culture.

Design approach
Hand-drawing and model-making are a vital way of
design for me. This is how I control my brainstorming
moments and the way I organise and structure my ideas
and thoughts. I find their use extremely significant and
powerful in the development of a project all the way from
initial conception stage to completion and presentation.
For this project I drew extensively in an attempt to adapt
and respond to the surrounding context. I drew and
created models at the same time and discovered that it
helps to clarify ideas and visualise the project in multiple
perspectives.

CAD skills development
The course was around learning how to use the CAD
software packages of AutoCad, Rhinoceros and Vray.
The most interesting part it was that the studio was not
a passive lecture-type class. We were all assigned an
existing private house and asked to design it step by step
by applying what we learn in class.
This course taught me not only how to properly and
efficiently use the software, but also how to use them
together and when to use each one individually.
Process
I firstly developed 2D drawings in AutoCad which were
then transferred into Rhinoceros for 3D-modelling. This
was then used to develop the rendered visualisations in
Vray. I find this approach of transferability a very efficient
way of working and it is something that I still use today.

Restoring the golden era of a 16th century villa
The brief called for the conversion of the grounds of
the historic villa and adjacent old brandy aging cellar
into a destination for beer lovers where artisanal
beer production meets education, shopping and
leisure.
Our approach pushes for a holistic approach to the
villa, cellar and vast gardens, therefore blending the
line between exterior and interior. At the heart of
the project lies the “Lab” and microbrewery which
is accessible by members of the public in an attempt
to bring people closer to the ingredients, techniques
and methods used for modern beer production.
The main concept was to connect the villa to the
aging cellar both figuratively and literally, through a
transparent and adaptable intervention at the point
where the two meet within the garden.

Two and Three Dimensional detail drawings depicting how the new will fuse with the oldPerspective view showing the relationship of of the lab to the existing Villa and converted gardens
The internal schedule and layout is arranged in
circular layers, where each one complements one
another. Here we have placed the functions and
uses of the restaurant, tasting areas and market
that all radiate and extend outdoors while at the
same time becoming less formal and more flexible
and adaptable in both time and space.
The proposal conserves the striking aging cellar
by respecting and enhancing its appearance and
structure , while also responding to the nearby-city
of Bologna through the recreation of the historic
arcade and colonnade facing the garden.

The glazed facade on the rear of the house opens up to allow in panoramic views of the surrounding natural landscape

HOUSE

Two mirrors placed above the kitchen hob create a structural periscope that allows the views over the roof and towards the dike and beyond
The 50/50 House is a summer house designed
for a Dutch family in the village of Acquoy, central
Netherlands. The site is located on the junction of
two of the oldest dikes in the country that are part
up the country’s main central flood defence line. The
design focuses in responding to the adjacent WWII
bunker, that in turn will be converted into a sauna,
in terms of the rough and heavy materials and
military look and feel. This is achieved by the use of
reclaimed concrete pavers that make up structural
parts of the building. The name 50/50 derives from
the design concept that half of the house (rooms
and bathrooms) are closed toward the dike and
the other half are open towards the surrounding
agricultural fields and polder landscape, allowing
views from the living room and outdoor terrace.
The closed front wall of the house is de-
tached from the open facade allowing light to
enter the rooms while making a corridor and
pathway towards the bunker and the new
sauna inside

The six residences are designed together in terms of their form but they are seen independent in terms of their
interior design and layout

We have been commissioned as a studio by a team
of six families, that have previously jointly bought a
plot of land, to design a high-end residence for each
ofthem,inthecityofArnhem,eastNetherlands.The
basis of the design was the surrounding residential
neighbourhood and its unique character in terms
of modern materials and diversity in forms and
shapes. The residences are designed to respond to
both sides of the neighbourhood by being formed
into two blocks that seem to be independent on the
outside but are indeed connected on the interior
through an open-plan system.
Instead of removing the old dike I proposed the
idea of using the highest part of it as a pedestrian
walkway, connecting in this way all the houses
together and to the main street and private parking
on the side. The idea has been a huge success and
has changed the course of the project since then for
the better in terms of meeting with the guidelines
and regulations of the municipality while address
the social needs and requirements of each client to
the other.
The residences seem to be laid out as terrace
houses but once close up, one can see that
they are independent from each other, float-
ing somewhere between the rear garden and
dike in the front
The front facades are sloped in such a way as to provide shading in the living areas and the dense forest on the other side

Wedding; one of the most important events/
moments in one’s life. A moment of expression and
declaration of unquestionable affection for one
another.
A moment of love, contentment and eternal union.
UNIO is the proposal for a contextual marriage of
place, history and love. The project aims to become
an extension of the castle through a series of inter-
connected pavilions, of modular design, that reach
out and respond to the surrounding valleys and
cities of Assisi and Perugia.
This becomes possible by the organic shape of the
pavilions that wrap around the castle, just like the
surrounding terrain does, and secondly through
the orientating the open-sided hexagonal modules,
that reach towards infinity, towards these axes and
places of cultural and historical importance.
