The brief for this project was to design an Artists Hotel,

which can mean for artists or inspired by artists.

The site for the project is in Knowle West in Bristol. The

project has been commissioned by Knowle West Media

Centre, in order to bring more ar tists to the area, and

through doing this they will bring new life into the

community.

“ F o r t h i s p r o j e c t w e d e c i d e d t o d e s i g n

t w o v e r y d i f f e r e n t b u i l d i n g s ; t h e l i v i n g

l o d g e s , a n d a m a i n h u b . ”

n a r r a t i v e

The source of inspiration for our design came from our visi t

to the community of Knowle West. One part of our visit took

us to the allotment site, an amazing community project,

where we got to see the vegetable patches, the hut, and also

the beehives. We got to hear about the bees and how theyare a community in themselves , and so we wanted to bring

an element of that to our project.

The Artist hotel is an idea for a community based project.

Bringing people together, and making more out of Knowle

West. The brief asks for a hotel made by, made for, or inspired

by artists. It states that the brief can be intepretated in many

ways. So the first cause of action is research. As a group

we decided we wanted to make the project as green and

community based as possible. But already that we did not

know much about the Knowle West community apart from

what we had been told on the first site visit.

Through research we found a survey into how connected the

community was. The results were not as we had imagined.

The sur vey showed that most residents of Knowle West has

a very small support group with not many connections to

further people within their neighbourhood.

The first diagram shows the places in which the community

are involved with and the places that they go the most within

their neighbourhood. We noted these places down as the

local links to our project and wanted to take into account

getting to these places with ease.

The second diagram shows the places with which thecommunity described as places they avoid within Knowle

West. The main answer was Melvin Square, which sur prised

our group as this was directly down the road from our site.

This made our group want to concentrate on making the

public feel secure and safe within our site, but without

making the project feel unwelcome.

We also spoke to our artist, who is a musician. He answered

many questions we asked him, this gave us key information

of what he would like and expect from a hotel specialised

for artists. He explained he would like a cosy and dark

place for relaxing and sleeping. Also a place for working

and collaborating with other artists. Soundproofing and

insulation within the living space was also a key point he

mentioned as he described noise from instruments can be

very annoying for immediate neighbours.

From all our research we made the aims for our project.

We firstly chose to make the project as community based

as possible. Embedding the structure within the ground,

making the build a voluntary process, involving as many

local businesses as possible, and creating jobs for the public.

These were our most important factors.

Other criteria was using as many recycled materials aspossible, looking further into green and sustainable systems

including rain water reuse and solar energy. We narrowed

our function needs to housing, collaborating, eating and

drinking, exhibiting, and performing. Hopefully with these

outcomes our project will fullfil the brief of the artost ho tel.

s u r r o u n d i n g b u i l d i n g a n a l y s i s

It’s clear by looking at the map that this is located in a very

residential area. Near the site there are a number of shops such

as Spar and other local corner shops. There are a number of

Community buildings in the locality, including Knowle West

Media Centre and the N overs

Community Centre.

Also there are two Educational buildings very close to the site,

the

Childrens Centre and also Knowle DGE, it’s important to be

sensitive to the area we will be designing for.

m e l v i n s q u a r e

Through analysing the site of Knowle West, we discovered the

hexagonal site plan around Melvin Square. As this geometry

is already a part of Knowle West, we decided to repeat this

idea within our design. We accomplished this by embedding

the structures within the earth, making them a part of the

community.


7/49

t r a n s p o r t a n a l y s i s

Within a mile radius of the site, there are many transport

links. Bus 36 and 90 link the site to the City Centre, Bus 36

has a stop nearest to the site.

The nearest train stop is Parson Street which is a 15 minute

walk from the site.

There is also a cycle route which from the City Centre.

s o u n d a n a l y s i s

In order to create a relatively peaceful environment for the

visitors, it’s important to map noise pollution within the area.

As the site if just off a very busy road, Leinster Avenue, whenthe analysis was taken at 2:35pm (Friday, 23rd October), the

traffic was rather loud, and also you could hear the children

from the Childrens centre playing.

s p e e d c o n c e p t m o d e l

This is the first concept model we made. We wanted to

encorporate the ideas of being connected and interlinked

into out design.

04C O N C E P T D E V E L O P M E N T


9/49

i n i t i a l c o n c e p t d r a w i n g

Our initial concept sketch came from p laying with the

hexagonal geometry. This led to the idea of stacking the

shapes. We also played around with the idea of embedding

the buildings into the ground.

v e n t i l a t i o n + s o l a r c o n c e p t

This was when we decided to mount solar panels onto thefaces of the hexagon.


s c h e m a t i c c o n c e p t

Here we had the idea of water har vesting. We really wanted toincorporate as many eco solutions as we could, to help with

the upkeep of the building in the future.

q u e e n h i v e I n i t i a l I d e a

A rough sketch showing the shape of how the Queen Hivewould be. Embedding it into the ground so the users don’t feel

that it’s too intrusive as it is intended to be a high structure.

These forms have derived from a hexagonal base. Using thin lollipop sticks allows the form to be clear and enables developentof the shape to be free.

This diagram shows how the positioning of the Queen Hive’s

windows would let in continuous light throughout the day.

T3Arc (2010)

We were inspired by the simplicity of this design. The hotel

rooms are designed within recycled concrete pipes, which

are then stacked on top of eachother.

We also liked the site plan of how they arranged it around a

free flowing landscape.

Penda Architects (2014)

The material chosen for this structure is bamboo, theychose it for its availability and low cost in China. We also

wish to locally source our materials.

Penda designed this structure to be able to ‘grow’ and

expand horizontally and also vertically, it is a very flexible

design.

Elii Architects (2013)

In this building, the designers wanted to create a flexible,

interactive environment for their users. We really like this

idea of hidden fur niture, and creating an interactive space.

OMD (2010)

In this building, the windows were used in to create a

peaceful and relaxing environment for its user. and we

decided to adopt this idea for our own floor to ceiling

window to allow optimal lighting, relaxing mood and

privacy within.


14/49


g a r d e n a r k , o x f o r d

LivingArk (2009)

This building has many eco-frienfly features such as wool

insulation, solar panels, wind turbine and a green roof. We

decided that we’d like to incorporate many of these fea-

tures into our design too.

s e r p e n t i n e g a l l e r y p a v i l l i o n

Sou Fijimoto (2013)

The artists sculpture is a free flowing space which is

described as a transparent terrain. We want to create a

structure which will draw people from the carpark into our

Queen Hive, and it will also cover the living pods. This will

allow our design intervention to connect to its environment

without interrupting the existing Nova Community

building.


15/49


reclaimed ‘mountains and mountains’

sculptures

Aaron S Moran (2011)

These scupltures really inspired our Queen Bee Structure.

These small sculptures were made out of reclaimed wood,

acrylic, house paint and graphite. The aesthetic of the

reclaimed wood and the burst of colour really appealed to

us, and so we incorporated it into our design.

j f k i t h o u s e , b r u s s e l s

Elii Architects (2012)

Though the main feature of this build is its function, we really liked

the structure itself. The angles create a very interesting, sculptural

effect. Again, we liked that the architects decided to leave the panels

open and unpainted.

1 : 5 0 0 s i t e p l a n

This i s a simplified site plan following an example from the

tubo hotel precedent.

We decided to place the Queen Hive by the side of the

Community Centre as it will be visible from the street. The

Hive is also where the guests will have to go to check in, and

so it becomes a part of their journey into their Lodges.

The Lodges have been scattered freely on the land behind

the Community Centre. The path that will connect the Queen

Hive and the Lodges to the Carpark will be a dirt path, and

will follow the natural desire lines that people would take.

1 : 5 0 0 r e n d e r e d s i t e p l a n

This planshows the materiality of our design.

From the sky, the Lodges would appear to blend in to the

surrounding; this is due to the organic materials used, andthe grass roof.

The Queen Hive will be clad mostly out of reclaimed

wood, giving it the rustic look, and will also blend into its

surroundings well.

The mesh structure will flow from the Carpark, over the

Community Centre and will bring shelter to the path

behind the Queen Hive.

We will be using a sliding door to get from the living room

into the bedrooms below. We decided on the hidden sliding

door effect. The track will be concealed, and only the wooden

board will be visible. This will make the design look clean and

simple from the outside.

The entire lodge is to be cut on the cnc machine. These are all of the pieces that need to be cut.


37/49

08S T R A T E G I E S _ C O N S T R U C T I O N A L

Each piece clicks together like a jigsaw puzzle. There are 6

pieces alltogether to make the Hexagonal shape.

On each corner there is a hole cut in order to place the

supporting beams into place, this creates the length of the

structure.

Once all the hexagonal shapes have been connected and

the beam are also in place, the wall panells are then placed

on the interior and exterior of the structure. This creates thevoid in which insulation goes into.

The cladding and waterproofing process would be next,

this is when the green roof would be placed.

We decided to use reclaimed materials (when suitable) for

our project. These would then be resized and adapted for our

buildings.

By doing this it can save the energy requirements, and canalso decrease emissions. It also saves the need for more

landfill site.

c o l o u r

In order to blend into i ts surroundings, we decided to stick to

a neutral pallete of browns and greys.

q u e e n h i v e

In the daylight, the light and shadows makes its form and structure visible, it really shows off all the interesting angles

this building has. Different floors, functions, entrances and pathways are identifiable. Materials and colours are percieved

naturally.

_ LED luminaires consume little energy and are mounted in the interior facade.

_ Directing light in a targeted away to minimise stray light.

_ Uniform, vertical lighting emphasises the surfaces of a facade without altering the architecture.

LED lighting is unobtrusive and energy-efficient. The light is directed onto the surfaces that are to be illuminated in a targeted

manner to reveal all the forms, angles and shapes of the interior structure.

At night, the lights within will illuminate the outside area, casting interesting and intriguing shadows and shapes on the

ground. Lighting the building at n ight will also make the occupants staying in the Lodges feel more secure, it will discourage

intruders.

08S T R A T E G I E S _ L I G H T I N G

l o d g e s

The hexagonal windows allow beautiful shapes to form in the interior of the space in the daylight. All the lodges are angledsouth-facing to ensure the optimum amount of light is penetrating into the buildings. They are also angled conscientiuosly

so that the solar-panels receive the optimal amount of sunlight to generate enough power for the artifiicial lighting. Each

bathroom also has an hexagonal window with each pane is frosted glass. This allows enough lighting in the room whilst

giving privacy to the occupance.

Downlights will light the interior space, providing subtle illumination from the ceiling that meets most demands.

r a i n w a t e r h a r v e s t i n g

As previously mentioned, we decided to use the green roof as it fur thers our rain water collection.

Rain water harvesting is the cheapest and most eco friendly way of collecting water. We will

be storing the water in barrels under the lodges, and then it will be filtered and reused in the

bathroom and kitchen areas.

s o l a r p a n e l s

As the site is facing south, we decided to make use of the natural sunlight. We intergrated solar

panels into the design of our roof, this will provide more than enough energy for the lodges, and

so they would also provide for the Queen Hive.
