MESSAGE 3: ADAPT
RE-USING THE EXISTING STRUCTURE OVERGROUND FOX DENS
SKETCH DRAWING AND PLANNING FOR 1:25 MODEL
Overground Fox Den Design
For one of our propsals we wanted to design an overground fox den in a direlict building shed. Creating intimate homes and playscapes for foxes and a haven to raise their cubs and relax. These fox dens will be overground with have entrances and a few multi-functional rooms all designed and created by existing and reclaimed material in the site.
RECLAMED BRICK FOX DEN Integration of a fox den movement matrix to allow for foxes to move freely through the existing structure
Retaining the exterior brick walls to the structure in order to facilitate the load of the new fox den.
INITIAL CONCEPT + MOVEMENT DESIGN
CORRUGATED STEEL ROOF Removal of parts of the steel roof in order to view the interior of the model A conceptual 3D representation of the overground fox den.
SOIL AND BITMAC Sandwiching the interior of the structure with reclaimed soil and bitmac from the rest of the site. This will form the base of the fox dens.
SECTION OF THE FOX DEN
DEVELOPMENT FIRST DRAFT
The re-interperatation of the fox den, from underground to overground.
PLAN OF THE FOX DEN
Spacing out and forming the entrances and rooms.
Firstly, we did a couple design sketches to understand how we would like to show and create the model, in addition to the separating the model in section to helps us create it. From that sketch we development an early mass model made from cardboard to give us the sense of size, space and feel of the model.
