Professional Work Domestic Variants tentwenty, designer
Dalmatia, Croatia
The project starts from a very simple idea: 8 members of a rowing team becoming 1. The building invites individuals and turns them into a single entity, bound together both mentally and physically. A set of grid occupies the site; the building suspends over it and wraps the occupants as they travel through it, hiding and revealing elements of light and the surrounding.
8 to 1
Columbia University boathouse project
The site is loacted on the edge of Baker Athletic Complex of Columbia University. It sits next to Inwood Hill Park and Spuyten Duyvil Creek which flows into Hudson River.
The building is mainly comprised of three spaces: the multi purpose room, training space, and the boat stoarge. Circulation happens sequentially and prepares the players mentally and physically for the ultimate launch into the water.
Ocuppants enter the building through one of multiple stairways that taper open towards various access points to the perimeter.
Underside of the building provide parking space and passage to the water.
Openly planned multipurpose room leads people into a bridge that connects to the training area, a much more disciplined and confined space.
Final descent into the boat shed means total submission to the grid/team.
Descent into the gridded forest of cruciform columns. Field of regularity and discipline.
Final descent into the boat shed means total submission to the grid/team. Physical and mental unity of the team.
ETFE cushioned roof double insulates the roof and maintain the visibility of the grid from beneath. MEP runs through the cladded beams that follow the grid.
Cruciform columns and T-channels allow monolithic fabrication and minimize visible effect of the columns in the interior.
This building simply appears on the site, informed by the very nature of the specific lot that is sits on. The nature: the sun, the wind, and the water erode a mass that was originally foreign to the place. The eroded mass then is shaped by the occupants’ desire to be connected and disconnected to one of the busiest urban site in the world.
Reflective Erosion St. Francis College Dormitory
A double skinned facade system envelopes the entire building with exception of specific coner conditions of the eroded valleys. North and east side of the building is covered with fiberglass panels shped to control view and the amount of light and wind penetration to indoors.
The facade and main structure of the historic building located on the site - 8 Old Fulton St. was to be maintained. All window panels were replaced with fiberglass panels similiar to that of the double skin system applied elsewhere in the building. This creates a ventilated space between the offset glazed interior of the building and the brick/concrete structure of the old building.
There are two entry points into the building, both from the two fractures that cross the site. Main entry is located in the rear side of the building from a quieter residential neighborhood. The fracture tapers towards the busier side of the street, distancingthe lobby space from the public yet maintaining visual and acoustic connection. Second sub entry leads directly into the cafe and allow wheelchair access into the intersection of the fractures.
The building is cut into three main towers connected by curvilinear bridges that alternate as indoor and outdoor one by floor and house a staircase. The bridges also capture wind and sunlight into the dimmer and recessed part of the building.
