I have a Bachelor degree in Arts with majors in history
and politics and am currently completing my fourth
year of Architecture at Monash University as a Masters
student.
My current employment history is predominantly based
on coaching sports teams in both hockey and cricket. I
have been sport manager for Monash University Varsity
Hockey team for four years where I regularly organise
trips for 40+ athletes to compete at the University
Games twice a year. My role includes booking flights
and accommodation, organising training and coaching
staff, doing paperwork for the team and dealing with
officials from Monash and other Universities.
As an arts student I developed an interest in politics,
particularly surrounding issues of urban planning and
population growth. In 2012 I wrote a report for the
Parliament of Victoria on issues associated with urban
planning and Victoria’s future. Later that year I ran
for local council in the ward of Cotham Boroondara
on issues associated with urban planning and use of
outdoor spaces.
Roles in sport and politics have allowed me to develop
many skills, including communication, leadership, time
management and collaboration within a team. I have
found that I am able to show initiative in challenging
situations, balance a large number of commitments, and
very much enjoy working with people.

Redefining office furniture sought to challenge ideas of
standardisation that typifies modernism and the workplace. The
project sought to design furniture that was designed purely for
the individual. How the individual interacted with each piece of
furniture was unique, with the design of the furniture influenced
by a persons interests, characteristics, habits and psyche.
The three examples prevelent here were designed for three
males of the same age and same background. The contrast in
each design reflected how furniture could appear if it were not
standardised. This project was the culmination of a body of work
that began with the analysis of a chapter entitled ‘the third wave’
by Alvin Toffler, a futurist who suggested the electronic cottage
(home office) would revolutionise the way people
interact and the environment where they work.

User: Charles
Occupation: Architecture student and Sportsman
Age: 23
Designed for use on a daily basis at home the CN furniture has a
number of key elements tailored to the specifics of the user. The
user is an architecture student and semi professional sports person
who grew up in the eastern suburbs and was educated at a private
school in this area.
The first element contained within the
chair is the anxiety between the study
of architecture and the study of law.
This tension is expressed by the split
between a standardised captain’s chair
on the left and the contoured chair
tailored to the user’s body on the
right. The user rejected the path that
had been mapped out from a young
age by his family to study law, a path
which his siblings and parents had
both taken.
The captain’s chair, standardised and
commonly found in a lawyer’s home
office represents the standardised
career rejected by the individual. The
contoured element of the chair to the
right suggests an alternate career
more relevant to the user’s interests.
The cricket bat exists as the back of the chair
as a constant reminder to the user as to the
negative elements of the game, back prob-
lems and consistent pain during the season.
In a similar manner, the arm rest hockey
stick, located on the right hand side of the
chair is again there as a reminder as to the
risks of hockey.The fear of the breaking the
right hand while playing would inhibit the
user’s ability to complete university work for
a prolonged period.
Chair tracks
The chair tracks allow side to side and back and forth move-
ment. This movement is symbolic of the movement enjoyed
by the user when playing sport. These movements are typical
of the user when batting in cricket and playing in the midfield
in hockey.
Water timer
The half hour water timer forces the
user to take a break and have a drink
on the half hour. The device, connected
to the mains and activated during
the hours the user occupies the desk,
gradually fills over a period of half an
hour, once filled the water overflows
into the vessel located below. In order
to prevent water from flowing onto
the table top the user is required to
release a valve at the bottom of the
water holder above and partially empty
it. This device simulates the traditions
of cricket, namely the half hour drinks
break. The traditions of cricket is a key
element enjoyed by CN.
Home office chair
Home office chair
Built out of oak, the three shelving units are a fragmented throughout the
home office furniture. The unit, taken from a typical partner’s desk, utilised
by lawyers represents the anxiety between studying law and architecture.
The unit is split across and below the bench top demonstrating how the
interests that led the user to initially study law have manifested themselves
in much of the design work undertaken while studying architecture. These
interests include history and politics.
Wheel and guillotine
The guillotine is there for pragmatic reasons to allow the user to cut the
paper for sketching and designing located on the axel of the large wheel.
The large wheel, that does not move is an element included to demonstrate
the user’s passion for transportation and industrial heritage.

Implement storage and clocks
The implement storage system contains
key elements used by the individual.
Each elements is located on the left
hand side of the system. To remove each
implement the user has to slide each
object from the left to the opening on
the right hand side of the system where
the opening is larger and the object
can be removed. This storage system is
indicative of that of a rail network goods
yard, the act of removing the implement
simulates shunting, a further interest of
the user. The two clocks, that only tell
the times 6.00 pm and 9.00 pm are the
times that hold the most attention of the
user; studio class.

9. The Kinglake Cabin is a weekender designed to respond to the environmental conditions.
These conditions are described below:
King Lake, located in North Eastern Victoria, 57 kilometres form Melbourne’s Central
Business District is situated within a valley containing multiple small towns.The valley itself
is surrounded by national and state parks which have lead to it being amongst the highest
rated bushfire prone areas in the state. Historical examples of bushfires within Kinglake
exist throughout Victoria’s history with the most famous being the 2009 Black Saturday
fires. As a result the cabin was designed to utilise ideas of aerodynamics to minimise the
risk of destruction by fired. The streamlined designed ensures the fire will blow over the
cabin with the threat of ember attacks minimised by a reduction the smooth, streamlined
walls and roof.
Furthermore, materiality is used to further diminish the chances of destruction by fire. The
structure itself is primarily concrete, with all windows and openings possessing the ability to
be sealed in the event of fire. The gutters too are concrete and can be flooded in the event
of fire. This acts as a further fire preventative measure.
In addition, King Lake also receives a high level of rain fall through out the year, with the
monthly average sitting between 80-110mm, however can spike to 150mm through the
winter months, primarily July and August. Due to this high amount of rainfall the design of
the cabin incorporates multiple water catchment and water drainage methods. With two
water tanks and large gutters which draw the water away from the building.The amount of
rainfall also puts into consideration the flood levels in the area, as the site is located close
to a main water body. With the calculations made the cabin was located far enough up the
slope to remove the danger of ever flooding. However due to the changes occurring in the
climate and seasons the wide gutters and raised slab also act as further barriers to flood in
case of any unprecedented weather conditions.
Kinglake’s climate is categorised as a Cold climate. Its altitude, coupled with its location
within central Victoria contribute to the low temperatures experienced throughout the year.
In winter, temperatures at night are often below zero, with maximums that fail to reach
double figures. Snowfall is uncommon, with rainfall in the winter months amongst the
highest annually across Victoria.
The climate is known for its extremes.Throughout summer temperatures hover in the high
teens to low twenties. However, in hot and dry summers, temperatures can exceed 40
degrees. Insulation, operable windows, the thermal properties of the building coupled
with the cross ventilation created by opening the skylights on the roof are designed to
mitigate these extremes in temperature.

The highly polished concrete
floors throughout the cabin were
a key feature of the internal fit
out. It was in this floor finish that
the concrete materiality of the
building is celebrated.
In a similar manner to the
concrete slab floor, concrete
was used for the walls for its
thermal properties, to help
limit temperature fluctuations
that occur within the cabin.
Additionally, concrete was
utilised for the walls and roof
because of its fire preventative
manner. Unlike other materials,
tested throughout the semester,
such as steel and timber,
concrete is not flammable.
Throughout the design, ensuring
the cabin was safe during a fire
was a key design aim.
After a series of tests it was
deemed that concrete was
the most fireproof material that
could be used. Coupled with
the corten exterior and plywood
interior the concrete would
fireproof the cabin and the
feeling of a cabin in the forest
would not be lost. (The biggest
risk faced with using concrete
was to ensure it did not look like
a bunker).
Plywood was included in
the design as a reference to
the traditional idea of the log
cabin. Additionally the plywood
celebrates the timber industry
that was historically a key part
of life in North East Victoria. The
plywood provides a contrast to
the polished concrete flooring
found throughout the cabin.

15. ZINC LINK OBSERVATION
TOWER DErwent Park
The Zinc Link Tower is located in
Derwent Park on the grounds of the
Derwent Park homestead and barns.
The site is heritage listed and currently
underutilised. The aim of the tower is to
create a destination at the end of the
Zinc Link that would draw people along
the Link, across the Brooker Highway.
The development of the site sees
the land surrounding the homestead
and barns transformed into a series
of walkways and lookout points. The
walkways incorporate the sandstone
barns with elevated paths wrapping
around and through their structure.
The tower itself, located at the
highest accessible point on the site
provides sweeping views of the
Derwent River, Mount Wellington,
Zinc Works and across Glenorchy.
The external fabric of the tower is
inspired by the Zinc Works which
sees the tower blend seamlessly
into the landscape from the Derwent
River. Its curved form is inspired
by the chimney stacks of the Zink
Works, while its corten steel cladding
gives the tower the weathered
industrial look of the Zink Works.
The tower provides performance and
exhibition space for the triennial as well
as a structure that can be illuminated
and itself become an art piece.
18. Building H Project was the culmination of a semester’s worth of analysis on the problematic
Building H. After conducting a number of tests relating to lighting and thermal comfort the
studio was given the task of designing a system that would enhance the comfort levels of
the Building.
An operable facade was added to the Northern side of the building, that used heat from
the sun to warm water that would be circulated through the building to keep temperatures
constant. An internal courtyard was added in the centre of the building to increase the
levels of natural light, while a rooftop garden was included to increase the building’s
thermal properties.
