Micro Apartment
ARC4023 Re-Ordering Space
Design Statement
For this project I will be designing a micro apartment for a client of my choice. I have decided that my client will be Jamie Oliver as I would like to learn more about him and because he is a chef I can focus on the kitchen design for this apartment as well as other rooms such as the living room and bedroom. I will need to think about the size of every room because my apartment might not be too big so I will need to make sure everything fits well.
There was a choice between a few different locations for this project and I chose Unit 3A Heneage street because it is located on an industrial estate and after looking at the floor plans for this site I like how simple this space looks therefore it will be easy to manipulate and re-order the area.
By the end of this project I will have produced work such as a client board and mind map to show who my client is and what they are about which is important since I am designing this apartment for them. I will also produce mood boards to show what the atmosphere will be like in each of my rooms and a schedule of accommodation so that I know what furniture I will need and how much space it will take up. I will produce drawings such as a perspective and a section drawing of my apartment before making a final scale model.

Site Visit
Unit 3A parkway industrial estate
Heneage Street Birmingham B7 4LY Unit 3A is contained within a modern industrial estate The unit is made of steel portal frame constructed with part brick/ part profile clad elevations with a pitched profile clad roof. Intermittent translucent roof lights Benefits: -Ancillary office facilities -WC facilities -6.5m eaves height -Loading access -Dedicated parking area I chose Unit 3A Heneage Street as my site for this project because it is a large, open space therefore it has the potential to become any space I intend. I think this site is in a good area on Birmingham because it is not too far away from the centre and there are a lot of main roads surrounding the area. |
