MEETING HOUSE

Design-Build Studio - Spring 2021 Tilting, Newfoundland and Labrador Supervisor: Robert Mellin

Team: Naomi Julien

Meetinghouse is a seasonal cabin designed for construction on Fogo Island, Newfoundland and Labrador. Using vernacular building language and constructibility as a starting point for design, this project separates core building programs to create opportunities for formal and programmatic play. Gathering, sleep, and ablution are angled and arranged so that the overall silhouette of the assemblage shifts between familiar and unfamiliar when viewed from different locations. This arrangement also develops comfortable exterior conditions where multiple layers of building create an exterior area protected from the wind.
