NEThostel (Final Project, B.Arch, 2007)
Location: Glenelg North, Adelaide, Australia

The coastal fringe is under threat.

New private developments overshadow and put in sharp relief the desperate need for this space to remain an open, public tract of land. This proposition explores the viability of a hostel and its impacts upon the fringe, exploring the spatial disparity between the beach and Holdfast Shores.

NEThostel is a nexus for meeting and gathering where once there was none. It is a termination point at the end of the Anzac Highway axis toward Glenelg, reacquainting us with the sea and our ubiquitous relationship with beach culture.

The Anzac Highway axis toward Glenelg can be strengthened by its continuation and eventual termination at the sea.

The form of NEThostel results from the metaphorical concept of fish caught in a net- it bulges and subsides under the influence of a contained writhing mass, a mesh screen blurring the line between the public and private realm.
Composed entirely of straight lines, it nonetheless generates sinuous motion.

Through confrontation with the built urban fabric, NEThostel challenges the impact of overdevelopment in the public realm. It takes back what has been missing; a new depth in spatial typologies that coincides with a transient social experience...

Wow! i've always wanted to compose a board like this but ive always had too much info to cram in. you did it very well!. the renderings turned out amazing! composition is really good. do your professors not mind the small print on your board? i think small print looks nicer some times except none of my professors like it because they always say that cant read it.

Good going my friend!
One comment if you don't mind, in the duo - trio you could shift the kitchen away from the bed and combine it with the balcony - indoor - outdoor stuff. That room could have day-bed / folding one in for sitting.
As you may have seen on my page, I love small spaces - tis the future!

The mistakes you regret the most, are those you did not make when you had a chance. (?)

on the second thought, each kitchen could be in a roller shutter cupboard and you probably don't need 4 burners and double sinks.

just nit-picking ;-)

Cheers, this was the second layout after our professor Ian 'Dougie' Mcdougall told me to redo it... :D
Yea, for the text font size I did a test print before sending the poster to be professionally printed; in real life the size is around 11~ this version is 50% of the original size!
Thanks for your feedback!
