Design Exercise / A bachelors bed + workstation
• Brief
The days where I sleep on the floor is over.. More than ever.. Now, it should be... an 'elevated' experience.
But as a broke student.. how do I scrap any resources that I could in order to achieved the intention?
_
• Thought process
_
• Construction progress
 |
| Basic modular solutions using crates. |
 |
| parts of mini workstation connected to one of the modular frames |
 |
| extendable plank for keyboard. |
 |
| connection detail. basic hinged with two screws. Will it hold? |
 |
| connection detail. Nut and bolt. For a sturdy leg to weight distribution.. theoretically. |
 |
| the rest of the frame modular |
 |
| with monitor and keyboard |
 |
| Finalized design |

• Conclusion/ Summary
- Only specific type of wood crates are easier to work with (soft, bright texture/ finished)
- recycled crates must be clean thoroughly, be on the look out for wood bugs, critters, fleas..
- total budget within RM10 ( a few screws, nails and nut bolts). *excluding the heavy duty tools (saw/ hole drills) A special thank to the workshop technicians in the architecture faculty that allows me to access such equipment.
- Surface of the foam bed must be clean and smooth from any sharp elements (wood chips and especially nails). Sleeping on a sharp items could be felt by the body psychologically.
- Areas below the bed can be utilized for additional storage for drawings roll and boxes.

Proposal/ Surau Al Malek/ Landscape + finishes
• Proposed design
 |
| A minimal landscape within the prayer area. |
_
• In Progress
 | |
| Originally, there wasn't supposed to be cemented floor within this area. It's too costly to have it removed. | |
 |
| Perhaps there's a way to work with this, by considering area as a huge planter box. Hopefully the green net is able to retain the soil within this area whenever water passed through it. |
 |
| Depth of soil equivalent to the depth of roots. With shallow soil depth, could this control the growth of the plant? |
 |
| water test. so far so good. |
 |
| main prayer hall in progress |
• Completed

 |
| the plants grew over the years, better than expected. |
 |
| lights plays a role, enhancing volumes |

Proposal/ Surau Al Malek/ Construction Phase
• Existing Site
Ruins of demolished structures from previous tenants
• Setting.
• Column to Roofing
• Wall/ Enclosure/ Ceiling
 |
| Seamless ceiling, lightweight planes |
 |
| Elevated floor. Functioning as seating and gaps to store shoes/ sandals. |
Proposal/ Surau Al-Malek/ Design Sketches
 |
| Could we get roughly 8-12 prayer for each area? partially natural ventilated/ illuminated? a way to store+hide shoes/ sandals |
 |
| A french drain to hide the drains and keep the abolution area dry? High ceilings for dispersing the tropical heat and making the illusion of small space.. bigger? |
 |
| the prayer area ... and the landscape.. seamless.. reconnecting us, back to nature and the Almighty? |
