Plug and Play

Submission Extract
Our design - ‘Plug & Play’ explores the opportunity of using prefabricated moduleson a macro scale that includes the building layout and construction all the way down to its’ micro scale, which looks at the potential of using prefabricated modules as movable plug-ins within units. The site we have chosen is a 50 x 20m rectangular site located on Brougham Street, Geelong, Victoria, next door to the Geelong train station. The proposed residential building will be constructed over the former “Winter and Taylor” automotive service centre. The proposed building design tries to retain as much of the existing facade and roof as possible.

Using a 3D volumetric method of prefabrication, the building will be created as modules that will be manufactured off-site and then transported to site for assembly. This project is created as a starting point for entrepreneurs and acts as a business incubator. It will be a place where they work on their independent projects and even use the spaces on the ground floor for a commercial start.

This building is primarily built of CLT (Cross Laminated Timber), concrete and steel with a facade created using solar glass. This skin aims to shade the building against sharp solar glare that can be expected so close to the beach. The proposed building uses a number of solar panels that make up 9% of the building’s energy demands while also using water recycling and rainwater harvesting systems to reduce the building’s water usage by 20-25%.

The building is designed to stand out, to be unique in the face of other
prefabricated buildings.
