Boatbuilding classes would be a key component of the Camping and Education Foundation’s Urban Wilderness Program and would encourage a flurry of activity in and around the lake area. Students could learn boatbuilding starting in the woodshop of the south wing of the building and see it through completion and onto the water.

WATER | Rainwater collected from the roof system is stored in cisterns to be recycled throughout the park. A green roof filter slows down runoff and filters stormwater before it reaches the ground.

H E A LT H & H A P P I N E S S | Building a canoe in the Makerspace is a mental and physical exercise. STEM skills, teamwork, and a variety of other necessary life skills are needed when building a canoe.

MATERIAL | The horizontal wood siding is charred wood, reclaimed from fallen trees in the park. The vertical siding is upcycled from used pallet boards. New materials are locally sourced.

E N E R G Y | Roofed and freestanding solar panels throughout the park, a pond loop geothermal system, and solar water heaters will power and heat the building and other systems.

PLACE | Replacing an existing shed, the Makerspace requires little land movement. Digging into the hill, with retaining walls on all sides, allows the building to become part of the hillside.

Located at the end of the lake, the Makerspace has easy access to the water.

BEAUTY | The maker space is designed to have a timeless, natural look that matches the aesthetic of the park. An incorporated dock system and open sliding glass doors make the space light and inviting.

EQUITY | Canoeing is an activity

that can be enjoyed by many diverse demographics, and the Makerspace aims to make canoeing, as well as boatbuilding, accessible to the Clifton neighborhood.

Burnet Woods was once a prime spot for canoeing and other water activities alike. A new makerspace, along with a rejuvenated dock system, could help restore this perception of Burnet Woods.

06

Staged across from the Trailside Nature Center, at the end of the lake, this space would house the Camping and Education Foundation’s Urban Wilderness Program and provide learning activities for all demographics.

Showering traditionally takes place both before and after the sauna, making it important to enter and exit through a changing room/ shower.

The sauna room itself has tiered seating for groups on either side of the coal heater.

The sauna is designed to be a carefully calibrated thermal environment, with intentionally private framed views of the landscape.

20

Seemingly balanced by its walkway, the building hangs over the lake, allowing the traditional post sauna cooling plunge to take place in the lake itself.

Repetitive columns on either side of the house cantilever the ramps and sandwich the floating floors as well as the private core, housing the restroom and laundry.

The client for the project, a single bonsai master, needed room for his many gardens, with both direct and indirect light, and many guests.

Hidden behind the more traditional façade, are inverted balconies, opening up the relation of the dweller to the street, in opposition to the neighboring rowhouses.

27

The continuous upwardflow of the home ends aptly in the final greenroom, looking over a planted roof.

Being a single residence, the bedroom itself has flexibility in its privacy levels with a mounted curtain system. The bedroom also contians a private balcony garden adjacent to the bed.

28

While occupying a space the dweller has interesting sightlines to other programmatic spaces, as shown here with the kitchen onlooking to the dining and beyond to the balcony garden.

The pool house meanders in section, mocking the river below.

Mirrored rises and falls of the built landscape provide balance to either side of the main walkway.

The platform looks over the forested hillside to frame a unique view of the city and river below.

32

The rise to the platform hovers over the decent to the underground pool. A gap between the stairs and the larger pool allows filtered light and water to flow down and illuminate the space.
