THE CHRISTIE LODGE IS LOCATED IN THE MECCA FOR OUTDOOR EXPLORATION AND ACTIVI-TIES. THE GOAL OF THIS REDESIGN PROJECT WAS TO ELUCIDATE THE RELATIONSHIP THAT EX-ISTS BETWEEN THE BUILT NATURAL ENVIRONMENTS BY ENHANCING THE FUNCTION OF THE BUILD-ING STRUCTURE AND INTERIOR SPACES. THROUGH A SERIES OF NATURAL AND HUMAN INFLICTING PARAMETERS WE BEGAN TO MANIPULATE FORM, CREATING THE BUILDING FOOTPRINT UPON THE LAND-SCAPE STRIATIONS ON BOTH THE GROUND AND ROOF LEVELS, STITCHING THE HOTEL INTO ITS ENVIRONMENT.

THIS MODULAR DESIGNED HOTEL SUITE IS 450 SQ FT AND CAN ACCOMMODATE UP TO 10 GUESTS WHEN TWO ROOMS ARE COMBINED. THE INTERIOR SPACES WERE BASED OFF THE HOTELS EXISTING SQUARE FOOTAGE AND REDESIGNED INTO MODULAR EFFICENT FLOOR PLANS. THE FINISHES ARE MEANT TO PLEASE THE HOTEL WANTS AND GUESTS NEEDS.

THE LANDSCAPE WAS MANIPULATED BY EXISTING FACTORS THAT PRESENT CHAL-LENGES ON THE SITE, INCLUDING WIND, WALKABILITY, AND NOISE POLLUTION. THE DATA COLLECTED WAS THEN ORGANIZED WITHIN A 5 FT WIDE STRIATION PATTERN THAT MOVES THROUGH THE LANDSCAPE, INTO THE BUILDING, AND TO THE ROOFTOP.ROOF PLAN

USING SITE PARAMETERS AND A GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM, A HUT WAS CREATED SPECIFI-CALLY FOR THIS LOCATION. THIS SEMI CLOSED STRUCTURE WAS MATERIALIZED THROUGH THE IDEA OF PRIVACY IN A PUBLIC AREA. THE IDEA WAS TO CREATE LIGHTWEIGHT STRUCTURES SPECIFIC TO THEIR LO-CATIONS THAT COULD BE ASSEMBLED BY LOCALS AS PLACES THAT YIELD PRIVACY WHILE ALSO OFFER-ING INCLUSION. AN EXAMPLE IS THE MEDITATION YOGA SPACE SHOWN, WHICH IS SHIELDED FROM THE PUBLIC WALKWAYS AND DIRECT SUNLIGHT BUT OPEN TO THE VIEWS OF THE OCEAN AND THE BREEZE.

B E S O S S U R F A C ETHE BESOS NEIGHBORHOOD IN BARCELONA, SPAIN IS SURROUNDED BY DENSE, DEVELOPED URBAN DEVELOPMENT AND THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA; THERE IS OPPORTUNITY IN THIS CURRENTLY DETERIORATING PUBLIC SPACE. OUR FOCUS WAS THE DISCONNECT BETWEEN THE RIVER BELOW THE TRANSIT CORRIDOR. WITH NO CURRENT VERTICAL ACCESS TO THE WATER, WE PROPOSED A CONNECTIVE SYSTEM OF PEDESTRIAN BRIDGES, ARCHITECTURE AND A SURFACE TENSION CORRIDOR SUSPENDED OVER THE RIVER TO REACTIVATE THE SPACE FOR THE COMMUNITY.

WHILE ALL CURRENT PATHS ARE ABOVE WATER LEVEL, THE PROPOSED SURFACE TENSION CORRIDOR WILL RUN THROUGH THE WATER AND CON-NECT TO THE NEW ARCHITECTURE, ALLOWING FOR A TANGIBLE, NATURAL EXPERIENCE.

MUSKOKA IS A DYNAMIC REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY LOCATED IN CENTRAL ONTARIO, CANADA. THE TASK AT HAND WAS TO DEVELOP A NEW MARINA AND ANTIQUE BOAT MUSEUM. BASED ON CONTEX-TUAL AND PROJECT ISSUES WE DETERMINED THAT THIS PROJECT NEEDED TO HOUSE BOTH TOUR-IST AMENITIES AND MAINTAIN FUNCTIONALITY YEAR ROUND FOR LOCALS. THIS PROPOSAL WAS NAMED INTERACTIVITY FOR ITS INSTINCTIVE VERNACULAR QUALITY AND RELATION TO THE WATER. THE TRA-DITIONAL MUSKOKAN LAKE HOUSE STYLE WAS INCORPORATED WHILE PROVIDING MODERN AMENI-TIES AND PROGRAMMATIC NECESSITIES TO FOSTER COMMUNITY AND BRING LIFE TO THE WATERFRONT.

I N T E R A C T I V I T YTHE SITE PRESENTED A STEEP CHALLENGE, LITERALLY. WITH OVER A 20 FT ELEVATION CHANGE ACROSS THE SITE, THE PLAN NEEDED TO TRANSPORT PEDESTRIANS FROM THE LAND ENTRANCE DOWN AND THE WATER ENTRANCE UP, TO PROVIDE MAXIMUM USABILITY.
