VISUALISATION

DESIGN METHODS FOR THE BOATHOUSE For my boathouse design I drew inspiration from many different works by Herzog & de Meuron, including the Koechlin house and Dominus winery. In particular I liked the linear and grid like floor plan as well as the use of open courtyards and internal spaces that really open up a very solid appearing building.

Grids

I based the floor plan of my boathouse design on a very simplistic 3 by 3 grid. In the Koechlin house a very similar floor plan had been used, however the architects had altered it so that the grid proportions expanded outwards and were not parallel as you can see in figure 1. This simplistic grid created an unassuming shape for my boathouse design which again was similar to the earlier works of Herzog and de Meuron which had quite simplistic forms.

Subtractive Space

The second design method I focused on was the creation of subtracted space. Herzog and de Meuron used this in both the Koechlin and Dominus buildings. Subtracting mass from areas of the building opens up the interior of the structure and creates courtyards which in the case of Koechlin house switch direction and shape on each story. I really liked the idea of these voids that are created, both in the central courtyard of the building (which allows light into the structure) and the overhangs which create a sense of heaviness to the top story.
