Located on the Clinton lake inside of Clinton State Park, The Clinton Marina Project took place directly on the Marina. Nestled right in between all of the neighboring boat docks was where our studio project took place. Our project was designed to hold varied events at the Clinton Marina. Working back and forth with the owner of the marina our studio was tasked with designing a space that would bring life to the marina and give an area for events or lounging to occur for newcomers or long time returning customers. It is composed of a U-orriented shading structure with a stage on one side and a serving area on the other. Having them on different sides allow the customers to move freely throughout the space of varied seating options and bring life to the marina.
Studio-led Project Fall 2022
Prof. Nils Gore
As a class we went through multiple design phases that included many pin ups and remaking the shading structure.
Clients were very involved in the project and we had many meetings with them going back and forth about different design ideas and iterations. Taught me the importance of a good client relationship
We got to learn about the dock structure and incorporate that into our design
Attended tours of some different metal shaping and fabricating companies (Shaped Steel,Standard Sheet Metal) to learn more about what they do and redesigned the structure based on limitations they gave us.
Pin Ups
This class focused around DESIGN - BUILD allowed me to learn some new skills that I would’ve never thought I’d get the opportuni ty to do. My main role in this class was welding together the backdrop to the stage and other brackets. I have some previous rience with a multitude of metal working machines from my highschool classes that I took so I was thrilled to get to learn even Getting to fabricate and weld different parts of the project gave me a new perspective and appreciation of the craftsmanship goes into different trades.
