  1. 160 Gloucester Street 48Hr Design Challenge

  2. Key Aspects of the Project • In Context of Social Cultural, Ecological and Economic Factors • Vision for high performance building • Environmentally sensitive - e.g power / thermal • Low energy losses e.g insulation • Predominately naturally ventilated • Green roofs • Enhances use of adjoining open spaces • Engineered timber structure (LVL - Expan system) • Future proofing

  3. The Site 160 Gloucester Street Before After

  4. Spatial Plan Ground Floor First Floor Second Floor Third Floor

  5. 3D - Perspective External render of shop front Arial view of green roof

  6. Cross Section East Section North Section Street Section (30km)

  7. StreetScape Plan • Integration with New Regent St (Romanesque) - Retail, walking, cycling, tram & service vehicles • Provides some green space use of rare indigenous spp / taonga of the plains, dunes & riverbeds • Springs running through river stone paving - revealed through hard ground surface glass

  8. StreetScape Plan

  9. Wider City Context • * Shows structure & ideal strong links of suburban villages to central city (black Circles) • * In particular a much stronger/faster connection between Canterbury University & Riccarton commercial/service/food/ * Entertainment sector & to central city • * Shows optimum configuration of habitat patches & linkages that feed into urban forest ( Light green Nodes) • * Highlights traditional Maori sites of significance – examples of mahinga kai, urupa, (brown nodes) & key trails/routes from Te Waihora to Kaiapoi, to Rapaki & across plains to West Coast (Ti symbol)

  10. Managing a Vibrant City • Enticing people to city centre through sports, events, entertainment. • Car-free centre; street calming (Green) • Extended tram system to new Hub in South west corner. ( Based around AMI stadium etc.

  11. Conclusion • “Green” hi-tech wooden structured building with native planted green roof • Insulates & attenuates storm water which is trained & visible thru site, reflecting older waterways & symbolizing Maori traditional connection with water; • Storage for bicycles; • Offices with common services - including roof top gardens, showers for cycle commuters Trees Totara Kowhai Manatu Ti Kouka Houhere kanuka

  12. Conclusion • 160 Gloucester Street • Blank walls of adjacent buildings decorated with living wall attachments & art works – an aerial rendering of Port Hills profile to south suspended between buildings & featuring Te Heru - o – Kahukura and Tauhinu Korokio, etc • By implementing developments similar to this design the city will be vibrant and sustainable.
