Carnatic Sustainable Housing Village Design Presentation - Masterplan Estate Strategy Student ID: 201273699 View of the scheme’s key community open space: The Campiello

The site location & its relation with the green infrastructure network The Green Web strategy plan The Strategic Green and Open Spaces Review Board Report from 2016 identifies the ‘‘Green Web’’, a network of green corridors that covers large areas of the city and links them. The analysis convers three layers of information collected. The strategic position of the site can allow to re- establish immediate connection with the river and it can help extend the green corridors network as a future long term plan. Making the site a public green area will contribute to create a higher quality and more attractive environment for the local communities to enjoy.

Key issues in Mossley Hill area Low number of key community gathering centres marks Key centres causing traffic congestion due to their location The site strategic and central location is the most affected by further social isolation across Mossley Hill along the outskirt of Mossley Hill perimeter traffic congestion as it is located on secondary roads

Density in Mossley Hill area The Brief Selected site area for housing development In housing schemes, the Planning Standards and Guidelines for Open Space and Recreational Area have clearly stated that at least 10 percent of the developed area should be allocated for the provision of open spaces. Considering that 1 hectare should accomodate a maximum number of 500 habitants. Datas Chosen site area 13000 sqm Housing scheme typology High density Estimated number of residents 198 users Developable area 85% 11050 sqm Open space area 10% 1300 sqm Shared community facilities 5% 650 sqm Reference: Number of residents accomodated in high density terraced houses adjacent to the site, which were taken into consideration. Analysed area: 5625 sq.m Average number of residents: 204 users

The design ambition: Conceptual mapping

Masterplan zoning strategy for the whole site Masterplan : Zoning strategy Selected area for development Low - rise + Residential housing (Garden Village) to match urban context Community Centre Retained with flexible use spaces to supplment the church’s building Main public green area community activities and to achieve social cohesion amplify them and collectivity across the THE CAMPO whole urban context, especially between the current isolated suburbs surrounding the site. 1 Mid - rise + Mixed use . t S d housing n a h w c r e this part of the site is the u h h t t C a most exposed and trafficated, M s e . m t therefore it rapresents the most S a J suitable to introduce this type of programme with small shops at ground floor. 2 ELMSWOOD ROAD LEGEND 1:2000 SCALE Scale: 1:1000 on A2 Pedestrian access Existing boundary walls to be retained

Design aim: Improved connectivity & walkability within the urban context Using the site’s strategic & central location to improve the routing within the area New Carnatic Community Dining Centre Hall St. Matthew’s & St. James Church CURRENT ROUTING PROPOSED PRIMARY ROUTING - IMPROVED CONNECTIVITY Primary Vehicular routes Primary Vehicular routes Secondary Vehicular routes Secondary Vehicular routes Existing Sandstone Boundary walls Retained Sandstone Boundary walls

Precedent Study: The Venetian urban condition & community identity The Campo & The Campiello (paved & unpaved community open spaces) THE CAMPO, THE HEART OF THE DISTRICT THE SITE VENICE THE CAMPO, 1960 THE CAMPIELLO, THE HEART OF EACH NEIGHBOURHOOD THE SITE VENICE THE CAMPIELLO, 1960 VENICE’S URBAN CONDITION: THE CAMPO & CAMPIELLO CAMPO: The name derives from the fact that in ancient times these spaces were real meadows for grazing or cultivated as a vegetable garden. Later in the years, the fields were PUBLIC DOMESTICITY paved. The campo was the Venetians’ social epicentre for several activities such as commercial markets, playgrounds and community gathering events like religious cerimonies CAMPO CAMPIELLO: A smaller version of a Campo. It often possess a well located in the centre as the main source of the city’s water supply, through the filtering of rainwater. CAMPIELLO The campiello defines a micro-community neighbour which stimulates interaction and intimacy among the residents.

Circulation and built environment Studies of the Campiello layout to generate high quality open community spaces

Precedent study: From public to private & street interface The typical Dutch canal house Semi underground (Elevated) Ground First Cellar plan floor plan floor plan I have analysed the typical Dutch Canal housing as it was developed in the 18th century and still remains intact, thanks to the hierarchy that establishes between private, semi-public units access and public paths & traffic. It is intriguing how it deals very carefully with privacy and defines a clear distinction between public and private. The stairs are part of the dwelling but also become a communal semi-public space. Therefore, they can be introduced into the scheme’s design. The main feature of this type of housing provides the access entrance through an elevated ground floor, the souterrain/basement is reachable from the street level and the unit possess flexible open plan layout.

Precedent study: Open plan layout Flexible spaces for the users: how to divide the units without using traditional partitions View of the living areas from the Master Bedroom Apartment Floor Plan Project name: Vivid Colours Architect: Waterfrom Design Area: 100 sq. m Year: 2016 Location: Taiwan The use of bright colours creates a patterning of spaces that balance and define the differents spaces in the open plan layout whilst providing freeedom to the user to re View from the kitchen arrange the spaces based on future needs.

Natural lighting conditions studies on site development area Strongest and weakest areas 09.00 am - February 12.30 pm - March Current buildings’ footprint & Areas which profit the most from natural daylight Areas most affected by stark shadows selected site area for development The study demonstrates that North/South aligned daylight use. Since the trees vary in heights, the site the footprint which has been taken off. blocks can benefit more from daylight coming types and are mutable with aging, they cause Thanks to the study below it has been possible from East and West. The blocks open up in circle overshading in particular areas which are not ideal to identify the strongest and weakest points of towards South in order to create green courtyards to build on. Secondly, in order to preserve the the selected buildable area, in order to plan better that profit from Southern daylight. . The scheme’s existing woodland, the design is intended to touch the buildings’ position, orientation and seasonal aim is to build around the existing landscape to the ground lightly. Therefore, a great opportunity vegetable gardens locations to maximise daylight avoid any damage to it and it can be built on the is to build on the existing buildings’ footprint use. existing buildings footprint in order to maximise and to use green roofs in order to give back to 04.00 pm - September

Maximised solar orientation of the units Define a hierarchy of spaces Central semi-public communal open space in plan Distinct appearance can define different ownership of spaces, whist community collectivity is being kept thanks to the visual relation with the common central BUILDINGS ORIENTATION: 90 DEGREES - 50% solar gain open space 1. Morning sun can enter it offers pleasant teperature during summer but it is cold during winter as it arises late. 2. The most advantageous mid-day Sun entry is blocked as the units are arranged in line. 3. Elevation exposed to evening sun which provides high temperatures during summer time and can cause overheating. The dwelling’s back garden acts as a transition space between private & semi-public space Private Semi- Semi- Private Public Visual connection to be kept between the semi-private unit garden & the common open space BUILDINGS ORIENTATION: 45 DEGREES - 70% solar gain (BEST OPTION) 1. Evening sun to be avoided as it can cause glare and overheating during summer time. But ventilation needs to be maximised as prevaling winds come from West. 2. Mid-day Sun entry is maximised as it is the strongest during winter times. Solar shading devices needed against direct summer sun. 3. Morning sun maximised as it offers pleasant teperature during summer but it is cold during winter. Change of levels at the front of the units can ensure privacy whilst define distinction between public and private
