BDES2020 - Decorated Shed <Myo, KYAW>

Abstract

This is a design proposal for State Emergency Service (S.E.S.) headquarters in Marrickville. The design is developed with the term ‘space in between’ and careful consideration of the site context. The precedent studies for this design development are Seattle Library first floor plan (Anthill program) and Dutch Embassy in Berlin fourth floor plan, 2004 (Engine program) by OMA. By manipulating the 2 programs, design evolved with the circulation space in between the envelope and the building as well as the circulation space inside the building. The environment aspects are also carefully considered i.e. sunlight control with the atrium space (adjustable louver system) and the window openings on the north facade.
