Located at 314 N. Cleveland Street, this property covers .25acre and is very close to the Oceanside pier. Our plan is to build a 10-unit, ecovillage condo development. Ecovillages are designed to foster friendly neighbor interaction. The finished project will feature a total of 10 residential units, as well as 2 commercial retail units on the first floor. As well-known green builders, we will pursue the LEED Platinum and BuilditGreen designations on this project, and will include such key features as consideration of natural daylighting, healthy build materials, energy efficiency, water conservation, electric car outlets and improved indoor air quality.
NASA Sustainability Base - Architecture and Design, Steve ZornetzerSustainable Brands
In the four decades since the iconic Earthrise image ignited an environmental movement, NASA has continued its commitment to see the Earth, know the Earth and benefit the Earth. NASA Sustainability Base will play a vital role in the continuum of decision-support tools linking the choices of an individual to the performance of a building to the energy consumption of a city to the carbon footprint of a region, enabling researchers to better understand and manage climate change.

BEYOND THE WALL
The project concept is to create a destination that infuses curiosity for users to experience. It connects two tectonic plates and explores the magnificent Grjótagjá caves in northern Iceland. In addition to that, the blend of the proposed design in the natural surrounding was considered, in order to have a minimal impact on the natural habitat.
User experience was the center pivot for developing the architectural elements. The three main elements are the visitor center, the viewing tower, and the bridge between continents; they were connected to provide a seamless transition for the user to explore, and set to the side of the cave entrance to enhance the visual connection between the buildings and the main attraction (the caves).
Upon entering the building the visitor’s visual attraction is guided smoothly through the folded concrete ceiling that transforms into the rear end information wall, where important information is projected and easily changed. To the right, their curiosity will be enhanced by the wooden-like perforated stair leading to the observation tower and the bridge between continents. When moving further inside the waiting area the café downstairs can be clearly noticed.
The simplicity and clarity of the elements inside the building give the first-time visitor the familiarity sense and enhances their experience.

SITE CONTEXT PLAN 1=200m
The Hong Kong Ocean Terminal is a cruise terminal, located in the Tsim Sha Tsui District at the tip of the
southern Kowloon peninsula.
The terminal is 58 meters in width with an overall length of 381 meters and is orientated in the East-West
direction. The 5-storey multi-purpose building is a part of the Harbour City complex, comprising three
lower floors of retail space, cinemas and two upper floors of car parks and resturants with a gorgeous
and magnificent view of Victoria Harbour. Each year thousands of tourist pass through this terminal as
they depart and arrive from cruise ships bound to and from Hong Kong. The terminal is located near the
heart of Hong Kong’s tourism precinct, this includes; The Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade, Clock Tower and Star
Ferry and also the Hong Kong Culture Centre, Hong Kong Museum of Art and Hong Kong Space
Museum. It is known as a “finger pier”, as the structure sticks out from the mainland.
The construction of the terminal is based around a “slab and column” design, this design also including
the support of beams which run between the columns. The sturcture then sits on an open piled
construction.
The latitude of Hong Kong is 22.8 degrees North.
In relation to Australia, Hong Kong resides at a similar latitude to Rockhampton which is 23.4 degrees
South.
The Summer period is hot and humid with occasional showers and thunderstorms, with warm air coming
from the southwest. Summer is when typhoons are most likely,
sometimes resulting in flooding or landslides, the typhoons developing from the south-east.
Winters are mild and usually start sunny, becoming cloudier towards February; the occasional cold front
brings strong, cooling winds from the north-east and north-west. The most temperate seasons are spring,
which can be changeable and autumn, which is generally sunny and dry.
Sun angles for the seasons include;
• Summer solstice = June 22 (90.7°)
• Autumn Equinox = September 21 (67.2°)
• Winter solstice = December 22 (43.7°)

EXTERIOR OF BUILDING APPLIED WITH THE SHADING DEVICE
In the beginning, my interest in the
geometry of the hexagon was inspired by
the hexagonal dynamic facade of the
‘Liverpool department store’ by Rojkind
arquitectos, in Mexico City.
On further research on this
geometry, the ‘Bent’ facade
designed by Chris Kabel became my
main influence. This design considered the
heritage of its’ host building but also
contributed beauty and purpose.
In relation to the site context, the facade
design is considerate to the existing
structure and characteristics of the
modernist ocean terminal. The refecting
panels mimick the reflectivity of the glass
facades that exist on the
skyscrapers that are sited behind the
structure. The facade will be altered to
allow for bigger panels and openings to
allow for passengers to enter the terminal.
The frame is comprised of steel Square
Hollow Sections (SHS) and the pivoting
panels from stainless steel. Furthermore,
the SHS frame will withstand the extreme
whether of the typhoon season.
The panels pivot on different
according to the need to allow sunlight
into the interior and close fully when the
sun is most powerful.

WINTER SUN SOLAR SECTION
SOLAR SECTIONS
During the summer equinox, the sun is to be blocked out
fully, meaning that the pivoting panels of the exterior
facade are closed. Closing the exterior panels assist with
the control of smog entering the interior.
As the sun is at its highest, light is able to penetrate
through the atrium void to the ground floor. The void
further assists with ventilation as the air circulates through
the void and out through the bi-fold doors on the north
and south.
During the winter equinox, the sun at its lowest. As the
tempreture of the site is also much
cooler and the sun less potent.
Through the assistance of the water surrounding the
building the sun is reflected into the building via the
different angles of the pivoting panels. The sun does not
penetrate the atrium void fully because of its position in
the sky. The control of the light during this time is
facilitated by the 8m indoor/outdoor space which
provides a space for people to sit and acting as a
verandah for the glass wall.
The verandah further assists with the protection from
strong winds and rain.

The entry to the interior is located on both the North and
South facades. Travellers enter the terminal via the bi-fold
doors that can fully open when there is heavy foot traffic
and to let cool air enter the structure. The doors can also
close when the tempreture is hot and the air humid, on this
occasion, one panel of the frame can open while the others
remain closed.
The bifold operates on two tracks that are built into the top
and bottom architraves of the frame.
During the summer, the sunlight is restricted to entering the
building by the closed panels on the facade, at this time
most of the natural light enters through the atrium void. As
the angle of the sun is much higher, the interior is protected
by the 8 meter long verandah which covers the indoor/
outdoor space and the glass curtain wall. The reflectivity of
the stainless steel facade panels directs the light up-wards.
During the winter, sunlight enters the building through the
angled panels of the facade and the glass of the bi-fold
doors. As the sun is much lower, the reflectivity of the stainless
steel panels directs the rays into the building.
Through the material selection, I have chosen a combination
of acoustic and decorative finishes which all have
sustainable and recyclable qualities.
