Jaidon Venner

BSc (Hons) Architectural Design & Technology

Hi, my name is Jaidon Venner. I have been studying Architectural Design & Technology (BSc Hons) for the last 3 years at Cardiff Metropolitan University. I have really enjoyed my studies at university, especially while digitally working on programs such as Revit and Photoshop. After graduating I intend on becoming an Architectural Technician, and further developing my skills through practice in industry.

For my final project I was tasked to design and detail a 4-star hotel located in Cardiff Bay. My proposed building is named Hotel y Bae, which means The Bay Hotel in Welsh. The hotel is 12 stories high, comprised of a two-story podium and a 10-story tower. The podium housing all the standard hotel ancillary units, while the tower accommodates all the guests, with a maximum capacity of 250 guests. The design uses sustainable materials, building techniques and energy sources, to ensure there is a minimal environmental impact.


Helo, fy enw i yw Jaidon Venner. Rwyf wedi bod yn astudio Dylunio Pensaernïol a Thechnoleg (BSc Anrh) yn ystod y 3 blynedd ddiwethaf ym Mhrifysgol Metropolitan Caerdydd. Rwyf wedi mwynhau fy astudiaethau yn y brifysgol, yn enwedig wrth weithio’n ddigidol ar raglenni megis Revit a Photoshop. Wedi graddio rwy’n bwriadu gweithio fel Technegydd Pensaernïol, gan ddatblygu fy sgiliau ymhellach drwy ymarfer o fewn y diwydiant.

Ar gyfer fy mhrosiect terfynol, cefais y dasg o ddylunio a chynnig manylion ar gyfer gwesty 4-seren wedi’i leoli ym Mae Caerdydd. Mae enw Cymraeg ar fy adeilad arfaethedig sef Hotel y Bae. Mae’r gwesty’n 12 llawr o uchder, gan gynnwys podiwm deulawr a thŵr 10 llawr. Mae’r podiwm yn cynnwys yr holl unedau ategol safonol ar gyfer y gwesty, a’r tŵr yn cynnwys y gwesteion i gyd, gydag uchafswm capasiti o 250 o westeion. Mae’r dyluniad yn defnyddio deunyddiau, technegau adeiladu a ffynonellau ynni cynaliadwy, er mwyn sicrhau cyn lleied o effaith â phosibl ar yr amgylchedd.
