Studio Competition

Four different projects were developed around inhabiting a window, all following a same construction system: densifying an entire zone in the protostructure and spreading laths to generate a collective space.

GARDEN

A space where body and vegetation are confronted in common space.

 

WINDOW ROOM

Different densifications (black, grey, white) for different programs (solarium, relaxing room).

 

"CHALLENGE YOUR INNER House_I/W0 EWOK"

A pure volume within the densified orthogonal structure.

 

HALLWAY

The densified mass was spread in two to create a hallway, leading to a strairway ascending through the mass.

Implantation in the protostructure

Due to its flexible structure, the protosphere was modified to serve as a roof for The Theatre underneath, stabilise the platform above and generate its access by letting stairs be built in the mass of the structure.

Framework

Because of their size, the first and second framework are assembled in one piece directly. All other frameworks however are prefabricated in two pieces, so they can be assembled next to the construction site just before installing them in the protostructure.

The Net and The Surface

The net, which forms the center of the protosphere will be prefabricated in one piece and will be attached to the wooden structure as one of the final steps.

The surface around the net will be prefabricated in two main parts forming the east and west part, as well as 8 pieces which will be installed between them.
