Here you'll find a vast array of projects.

Largely hypothetical projects conducted at university, descriptions and programs used can be found to the right.

4 St. Vincent Street

HYPOTHETICAL MIXED-USE, PORT ADELAIDE

​​


'SARDI Port Adelaide' was developed as a solution to revive the Port Adelaide waterfront and specifically the iconic and much-loved Hart's Mill.



As a research and development institute for aquatic science, the scheme creatively uses water induced with thermochromic slurry to shade the structure and control heat-gain while offering continuous animation within the structure. The design acts as a filter and haven for marine researchers while the forces of the existing buildings influence its form.

The Bluff Lookout

HYPOTHETICAL SHELTER, VICTOR HARBOR

​​

Rosetta Head, commonly known as ‘The Bluff’ in Victor Harbor is a popular destination for locals and tourists, especially during whale-watching season. Southern Right Whales can be seen from from The Bluff during June-October, and due to wintery weather, a public shelter and lookout would suitably provide protection from the elements.



Once the location of a whaling station, the lookout pays homage to the history of the site in function and design inspiration.

 

India Offshore Studio

HYPOTHETICAL URBAN DESIGN, NEW DELHI

​​


As part of the university subject ‘Architecture Elective B’ lead by Dr. Amit Srivastava, Daniel travelled to India in 2011 to collaborate with local Indian students at the Sushant School of Art and Architecture. Students were required to design a proposal for a brownfield site just oustide of New Delhi.



Daniel’s project explored a similar typology to ‘Habitat 67’, where residents would be able to live in a high-density environment whilst maintaining a sense of community across multiple horizontal planes.

 

Web Development

HYPOTHETICAL MIXED-USE, ADELAIDE

​

​​
‘Web Development’ was a project that Daniel designed in 2012 as part of the ‘Architecture Processes’ course. The scheme revolves around the idea of ‘web’ - a metaphor of both aesthetic and the meeting of various programs found in the Hindley Street area.



A main feature is the expanded metal mesh, which shades while allowing light to penetrate, guides rain water to be reused on each level, and emanates ‘web’ shapes onto surrounding buildings at night.

Drummond Circuit

RESIDENTIAL, VICTOR HARBOR

​​
In 2011, Daniel was approached to design a house to suit the needs of an expanding family. Daniel began the design work during his studies before passing on the design for final documentation.

​

Construction commenced in early 2012.

The house comprises of two ‘wings,’ one for the married couple and the other for their children. The two wings are joined by a large open living area with stunning views and high, north-facing windows which allows light to softly permeate the space as it is reflected off of the raked ceiling.

Vicissitude

HYPOTHETICAL URBAN DESIGN, KILBURN


With the growing diversity among Australia's people groups and the various languages and traditions they bring, 'Vicissitude' identified Kilburn as an ideal place to create a community hub which blatantly celebrates and integrates new migrants, with opportunities for affordable housing and nearby education.



Acknowledging the challenges that many immigrants face upon arrival to Australia, this concept promotes equality and equal opportunity through the creation of a safe, social community with ease of transport, recreational facilities, and community gardens to serve as the bridge between cultures.

The Lighthouse

HYPOTHETICAL MIXED-USE, KILBURN

​

​​
On an aging and degenerate rail yard site, a high-density living alternative was designed and centered on three fundamental requirements: work, play and rest. 'Routine & the Human Machine' explores the analogous relationship humans share with machines in regards to movement, transport and industry.



With three distinct zones (commercial, residential and recreational), this concept toyed with built forms that physically move or have endured 'force' upon them.

"The Cart"

ANIMATION

​​
As part of the digital media pathway, "The Cart" was created by a team named 'AteBull Productions', founded by Daniel Turner in 2009. While the group is now defunct, "The Cart" was an animation sensation and only promotional posters and material remain.



Directed and created by Daniel Turner, "The Cart" featured two colourful characters who travelled around the world in a toy cart, amassing friends and souvenirs during their (mis)adventure.

"Fetch!"

​ANIMATION

​

​​
Alongside friend and colleague, Michael Nixon, Daniel worked on "Fetch!" - a 3D animation of a mischievious dog who is left home alone and tempted by a bone.



Daniel primarily worked on 3D modelling, environment design and the public presentation, while Michael directed and worked on the character animation.



The now-slightly-dated animation can be viewed below.
