Existing structure on site

RESEARCH AND DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

Adapting an industrail shed into a woodland implmenting low-tech construction tactics to repurpose the building. Blending it with nature and introducing a woodland ecosystem that attracts birds and mammals within the area.

EARLY CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

1. Exitsing composite structure of steel and brick

2. Removal of exterior walls to create new openings

3. Integration of landcape into the built environment

EXISTING STRUCTURE BUILDING NALYSIS

Analysis of the direlict industrial building in terms of materiality and how we utilzed and reused the materials for different purposes.

STEEL CLADDING AND STRUCTURE

The removal of the roof cladding to give room for the trees to breath and grow. The roof is metal corrugated sheets which is later used for the construction of alottments and fox dens

BITMAC FLOOR

Removing the majority of the bitmac flooring to introduce the low shrubs and grasses, the bitmac is later used to construct the overground fox dens.

BRICK ENVELOPE

Deconstructing the brick walls from the building to give a transistional movement from space to space and improve circulation. The demolished brick is used to create the human path in the building.
