Adaptive Reuse of the PAISLEY MILL

The main idea of the design is to have fun. The silo of the existing Paisley Mill provides heritage with the old materials and the mill equipment, but is invigorated with the playground and an eco-friendly environment for the community. This project will demonstrate a good example of energy-efficient building. 

1. SITE PLAN

SITE PLAN

The Rainwater harvesting system reserves water flowing from the roof and site into the bio-retention pond, for reintroduction into the building for non-potable water, including washroom flushing and site plan irrigation. The Solar harvesting system placed on rooftop will harvest solar energy, and  will light up the building and the site.

2. FLOOR PLANS

EXISTING vs PROPOSAL

GROUND FLOOR

2ND & 3RD FLOOR

MEZZANINE (4F) & CUPOLA (5F)

ACCESSIBLE ENTRANCE

A new feature stairwell structure is added to the north of the building. The cylindrical space on the northeast corner expands the floor space with FUN slides around the outside of the new space. It runs around the cylindrical wall from one level to another for fun experience. ('3. FUN fact')
The existing cupola on the roof is reconstructed to provide the new observatory floor. On the ground floor, the new ramp and other site-improvement features are introduced to meet accessibility requirements. The north side of the building envelope and part of the east side will be replaced with window wall openings and eco-friendly wood siding materials from local vendors. The Northeast edge will demonstrate how the building is interconnected and transformed from old to new materials,

The proposed building envelope focuses on maximum air tightness & energy efficient cladding systems for the passive house. All the Floors, walls, and roof assemblies include insulation tightness with intensive water and vapour barrier on both inside and outsides. The proper assemblies will result durable and sustainable structure.​

EXISTING vs PROPOSAL

Thank you for reviewing my proposal. I hope you have enjoyed my work. It is always exciting to create a new space as an Architectural Technology student. I am looking forward to integrating my knowledge with experience in my future career.
