PROFESSIONAL PROJECTS (MACQUINE DESIGNS)
1. School Deconstruction & Reconstruction Project

(90% Completed)

A project focused on the deconstruction, reconstruction, and redesign of an existing school to improve functionality and spatial performance.

The process began with a detailed study of the existing structures to understand their layout, structural integrity, and limitations. Selective deconstruction was applied to remove deteriorated or inefficient components while preserving usable elements.

The reconstruction phase strengthened the building systems, improved circulation within the school, and upgraded building services. The redesign emphasizes:

• Flexible classroom spaces
• Improved natural lighting and ventilation
• Stronger indoor–outdoor learning connections

The project aims to create a safe, functional, and sustainable learning environment that enhances both teaching and student experience.

2. Grey Heights Apartments

(Perimeter wall currently under construction)

A 3-bedroom apartment development with a staff quarters and laundry area, designed to balance comfort, functionality, and sustainability.

The design maximizes natural lighting and cross ventilation, reducing reliance on artificial lighting and mechanical cooling.

Sustainability features include:

• Solar water heating system
• Rainwater harvesting system
• Energy-efficient LED security lighting
• Large windows for daylight optimization
• Locally sourced building materials

The project reflects a contemporary approach to modern living while promoting environmental sustainability.

3. Florida Residence

(Project Phase: Concept Design)

A contemporary flat-roof mansion designed to balance modern aesthetics with sustainable architectural principles.

Key design features include:

• Clean architectural lines and minimalist form
• Open-plan interior spaces
• Strong indoor–outdoor spatial connections
• Climate-responsive orientation
• Energy-efficient systems

The flat roof design also allows for future installation of solar panels or green roof systems, supporting long-term environmental performance.
