Different degrees of spatial enclosure and porosity are created by shortest path algorithmic iterations. Some of these iterations are used towards new variable transparency and opacity studies programmed at different regions of the porous envelopes.

This multi-material model imitates the rigid and flexible properties of PET and TPU. We eventually printed colour 1, transparent with harness of 95 shore to resemble PET, and grey resin with hardness of 70 shore to resemble TPU.

The design aims to create a variety of spatial qualities in three dimensions that can be occupied by various functions openly, rather than spaces serving specific programs.

The proposal forms an appendix to the estate's conservatory with the extruded plastic forming its various spaces that change from transparent at the top of the conservatory to opaque in front of the adjacent concrete volumes.

There are several left-over spaces formed within the estate over the years. The project is sited in one of these spaces and forms an appendix to the row of terraced apartments adjacent to the trainline that is next to the site.

A concrete core and steel frame provide the structural framework within which continuous, multi-plastic enclosures are 3D-printed with variable colours, transparency, density, and porosity of openings.

Our aim is to revitalise the vacant ground floor of this modernist building raised on pilotis, by creating cellular spaces of variable porosity, colour and flexibility to enable a variety of environments.
