2023 ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STUDIO IVB TIMBER
A rectangular structural grid is used to allow for an open and flexible floor plan. The entrance is provides a double height space showcasing an undulating CLT waffle structure extending down to the floor. Office space and research laboratories line the north and south edges of the plan, and vertical circulation is set within. At the center, a research vessel dive tank anchors the plan. It is aided by a long appendage extending out over the harbour to crane in research equipment and drones from docking ships.
