PROJECT: BOATHOUSE
INTERIOR RENDERS
INTRODUCING THE IDEA OF BURM By investigating a site analysis on ARO Boat Pavillion in Beacon beach, we immidiately decided to take part in studying the landscape. The burm has a great potential to create or hide a view depending on where you are standing, and another great potential to become a very pleasant vertical movement compared to a heavy staircase.
ELEMENT 01: BURM
DIVISION OF PROGRAM THROUGH BRIDGING Program Elements were seperated by the bridge which centers the site. Columbia students and community people only share the bridging area which is an observatory area. Capturing the view was unsuccessful from the ground level because the bridge is right on top of the view capturing area.

MAXIMIZING VIEWS WITH VERTICAL WALLS
capture the exact views which we desired for. The initial bridge was moved towards the back to give more of an opening view, and the program now surrounds the view port.

The upper level programs have settled, and outdoor observation area was created at the end of the both wings. The overall massing has trimmed down to more linear angles, the sense of encircling the main view capturing has become more powerful.

We also dropped the idea of the big bridging at the center of our site, because the depth of the bridge was too large that it was actually darkening the space underneath which is supposed to be a pleasant view corridor

3. At the end of each bridge, we found moments of hinges which became the main vertical circulation, and a transparent look to contrast the heavy concrete.

1. Circulation has become a big part of our design and we wanted to give insightful moments as people walk around our site. Our intention was to have a consistent circulation which continues inside the pavillion as well, in order to connect the two burms in the front and back.

speaks the same language. The burm located at the back faces the parkscape, and the burm on the front is directed towards the water view. As our initial idea was to create a transition between the park to the hudson river, this pavilion acts as the threshhold between the two nature.

Columbia boathouse is surrounded by the beautiful nature. Our goal was to engage as much nature as possible. The burm has a great potential to create or hide a view depending on your position. Comapred to a heavy staircase, a burm is a very pleasant vertical movement physically. and visually. The park right beside our site gave us an idea, and we were motivated to “extend” the park to our site. In order to fully enjoy the nature we suggested a view corridor through our building. By using the scientific eye angle, the angles on the walls were selected specifically in order to capture the exact views which we desired for.
