DESIGN CONCEPT
THIS SIMPLE COTTAGE DESIGN FEATURES PRE-FABRICATED COMPONENTS THAT ALLOW FOR PRECISION AND REDUCED CONSTRUCTION TIME. MATERIALS WERE CHOSEN FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY, SUSTAINABILITY, AND RESISTANCE TO FIRE AND UV DAMAGE. CUTTING EDGE PHOTOVOLTAIC GLASS PANELS FULFIL ENERGY REQUIREMENTS AND ALLOW FOR MAXIMUM DAYLIGHTING. 36” OPENINGS AND TRACK DOORS WERE USED TO IMPROVE ACCESSIBILITY.

DESIGN CONCEPT
CONNECTING TO NATURE HAS PROVEN BENEFICIAL TO HEALING, HEALTH AND WELLNESS. BOTH AN INTERNAL ECO-SYSTEM AND CONNECTION TO THE EXTERNAL SURROUNDINGS WERE ESSENTIAL. DOUBLE SKIN CURTAIN WALLS EQUIPPED WITH HVAC SYSTEMS MITIGATE THE EFFECTS OF THE EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT WHILE PROVIDING NATURAL LIGHT AND EXPANSIVE VIEWS OF KOOTENAY LAKE AND THE PURCELL MOUNTAINS. THE MAIN INTERNAL STRUCTURE, CONSTRUCTED FROM MASS TIMBER, MIMICS A TREE-HOUSE WHICH ALLOWS FOR A FULLY IMMERSIVE, THREE DIMENSIONAL INTERACTION WITH THE SURROUNDINGS.
DESIGN CONCEPT
A COMMUNITY SPACE FOR ART INSTALLATIONS AND PERFORMANCES. THE SWEEPING ROOF-LINE MIMICS THE LANDSCAPE OF THE SELKIRK MOUNTAINS, ENHANCING THE PANORAMIC VIEW. TRANSLUCENT ROOF PANELS ON A CURTAIN GRID PROVIDE PROTECTION FROM THE ELEMENTS AND CAST SHADOWS ON THE CURVED WALLS, CREATING VISUALLY STUNNING LIGHTING CONDITIONS.

DESIGN CONCEPT
FUTURE PROOF(01) WAS INITIALLY DESIGNED FOR THIS PROJECT. WITH MINOR ALTERATIONS, THE UNITS CAN BE STACKED IN AN OFFSET PAT TERN. THIS BIO-PHILIC DESIGN, SIMILAR TO A BEE HIVE, GETS STRENGTH FROM POINT LOADING ON THE GLT STRUCTURAL MEMBERS. MOD ULES CAN BE ADDED AS NEEDED, WITH MINIMAL DISRUPTION TO RESI DENTS
