Year 3 - SMALL HOME FOR LIFE - Kitchen Design (Design for a Family)
Design from my Graduate Project - SMALL HOME FOR LIFE.
Same home - 3 different designs for 3 different occupants (for a professional couple - young family - less mobile couple), with minor changes or the same home could be adapted through occupants’ lives.
The home is based on a footprint of 2 large shipping containers with one extra floor. After reflection and research, I decided to use a timber-frame construction for economy, sustainability and longevity. My final design is for a couple with no children but the home is easily adapted to a small family or a mature couple as the home can have stairs replaced by a small lift.
My focus during this project was on adaptability, trying to minimise materialism and create a home one could enjoy for an entire life. I believe we should value more our own home; our space, making it our own, not a commodity with the subsequent constraint on individuality and creativity.

Year 2 - CONVERTED WATER TANK - Dining room - Office - Snug
Converted a misused water tank into a family home. I designed the space taking into account avoidance of outward-facing windows that would cause light pollution in the landscape. Only one side could open into private garden, in addition an internal courtyard was created to allow light into the rooms plus roof windows. The home is completely off-grid. The space is future proof and usable for anyone, no thresholds and all doors and openings are wider than standard. I kept original pillars, walls and existing openings in the roof that used to be access where possible.
