Shelter

By using parametric design tools as Grasshopper and 3d-printing machines project Shelter was brought about.

Shelter is a pvailion in the archipelago of the Swedish west coast. It lays on a high hill with an opening that frames the sunset. The aim of this pavilion is to embrace a space accessible for everyone to be able to enjoy the environment on the site and the sunset, while being protected from the wind.

The pavilion has also an opening in the roof where the rain is allowed to fall in in order to preserve the contact with the surrounding.

The archipelago is so windy and usually is rich with untouched nature landscapes. Therefore it is important to find the balance, when we create architecture in it, to make people feel invited and protected there while preserving the identity of the landscape.

Aim:

Raise awarness about the sea and its creatures as treasures in order to create empathy with it for a sustainable future.

This shelter aims to give a space where visitors can sit and watch the sunset in a more protected place from the wind.

Its shape awakens people’s curiosity and attracts them to discover it from both the outside and the inside. Because it is bending to make it possible for people to utilize the walls surface, lie or sit there in the way that suits them.

The differenting in the curves and bends of the wall awakens curiosity and drives to creativity in utilising the space depending on one’s own needs, the view or the weather for example. Thie will allow each visitor to have their own perception and experience of the pavilion.
