4th projects 2012
A short overview of some of my work done during my studies at TUT.
Des Baker Project 2012
This project is a conceptual and theoretical investigation
of how the architect creates and envisions a future space. Unfortunately these
spaces or buildings sometimes end up as urban wastelands. This project sets the
stage where the user enters the architects dream and design process of puzzling
the ideas together. The design proposal presents the re-scripting of urban wasteland
of lost spaces between buildings.
The concept was inspired by the motion picture Inception,
where the architect creates the dream world. Similar when designing a building,
the architect creates spaces and in this dreamscape imaginations how users will
occupy and use the space.
The aim is for the architects dream to become a
reality.

Writers Retreat
2012
Description: A writers retreat for Zakes Mda situated in Kwazulu Natal. The objective was to create a quite and secluded space where the client can enjoy the outdoors and his passion for astronomy. The aim of the project was to design a flexible retreat that embraces the local landscape. The conceptual adjustable roof system allows shade during the day and opens up to landscape and during the night privacy indoors and opens up towards the night sky.
