My thesis project was a Casino Resort. I chose an island in Goa, India that had a very steep slope. In my design, there was a whole entertainment center, that included all the restaurants, discos and casinos,a building that resembled a ship, a ship that had the same slope as the site and ran along almost its entire length. This part is the topmost level. I modelled it in 3d max, and post processed the image in Photoshop.
The options for cork flooring in North American homes has truly evolved. Designs and patterns range from traditional to modern, in original colors or dyed and add style and creativity to any room.
The Brief; -
Happy Valley is a generously proportioned 1930’s residence sitting within beautifully landscaped 4 acres of grounds. Our brief was to design a penthouse over the existing building to maximise the views over the grounds and provide a gallery space for pieces of contemporary art and furniture.
The Design; -
Our solution was to design a light-weight steel framed structure with an over-sailing eaves detail to provide solar shading to the extensively glazed garden facing elevation. The glazed section affords uninterrupted views across the landscaped grounds and into the countryside beyond. The glazing itself is highly engineered to reduce heat loss, solar gain and is also self cleaning to reduce maintenance. The existing stair has been extended with glass and stainless steel, above which a glass-vaulted roof transmits light into the core of the building via the stairwell.
Proportions of the penthouse have been carefully designed in order that it does not dominate the existing architecture. The horizontal proportions of the penthouse have been accentuated to harmonize with the horizontal banding of the main building whilst preserving the integrity of the existing architecture by allowing it to be easily defined.
The penthouse encloses 76M2 of internal space with two external sun terraces to enjoy during summer.
Internally, the gallery space is equipped with discreet adjustable lighting, a recessed track for hanging panels and a recessed picture rail on the wall for hanging artwork.
Works are due to commence on site in March 2011 and due to complete in June 2011

Illustrated is the new Arnold Clark concept for Skoda Edinburgh completed this week –13th January 2011. From a standing start Space Projects designed, detailed, contract managed and implemented this completely bespoke centre in twelve weeks including the stripping out of the existing structure.
From the bespoke rugs, chair materials, customer consultation areas, lighting specification, mechanical and electrical layouts, removing of the rear of the building to dealing with a seemingly impossible height issue towards the front of the property, all problems required quick practical head on thinking in order to deliver a trading unit to the client on time.
Splitting the unit on the diagonal coupled with the ramped entranceway deep into the retail space the customer is immediately greeted by an unusual, almost birds eye perspective of displayed vehicles upon arrival, making the transition into the space much more impactful than would normally be the case within a car showroom. The drama is further enhanced by an amphitheatre type staircase at the top of which cars are displayed in a fanned shaped pattern, feature car rotating in the background before then being bounced onto the reception desk, customer consultation areas and lounge area beyond. With hints and flashes of corporate green throughout the environment has been designed to be fresh, bright, modern, efficient, and customer friendly, and if a wait of any kind is required the rear of the unit has been opened up to offer an unrivalled 180° view of the firth of forth which we challenge any dealership to beat on any kind of day.

Architect: Bernard Maybeck, 1923
In talking to Dorothy Joralemon about the design of the Joralemons' house in 1923, Maybeck said that too much architecture was sober and drab, and he asked if she would prefer "a white house resembling a bird that has just dropped down on your hilltop, or an earth-colored one that seems to rise out of it."1 When she chose the latter, Maybeck invited her to participate in the process of spattering the walls with colored stucco. Four pails of wet stucco were prepared, each tinted with a different hue--pale chrome yellow, deep ocher, Venetian red, and gray--and each painter was given a whisk broom with which to flick the stucco onto the walls. Maybeck directed the operation like a maestro: "Red here. Ochre there. Now lighten with yellow. Now soften with gray." When the job was finished, he announced approvingly that the walls vibrated.

Alcoa, the world’s leading producer of aluminum products, was one of the fi rst companies to
make major use of high performance computing when it became the NSF-funded Pittsburgh
Supercomputing Center’s fi rst industrial affi liate in 1987. When aluminum faced growing competition
from plastic and other composite materials, the company used the PSC supercomputer to handle
the complex modeling and simulations needed to get the jump on their competitors by successfully
redesigning cans for the beverage industry and a variety of components for the automotive,
aerospace, building and construction industries. (The Council on Competitiveness © 2008)
