EXPLORING CIRCULARITY

To create circularity within the building, this is done through the heat recovery system. As kilns often produce a large amount of energy which is lost. The inclusion of radiant panels and a heat pump, up to half can be recycled into the building not only saving tremendous amount of energy and costs, but also reducing greenhouse and carbon emissions. Furthermore, the material of the facade being terracotta is a building material that can be harvested from the earth and requires little power from machinery and more from a human and hands on method.

Level 2 features the workshop where classes for pottery are held and rooms with necessary tools such as pottery wheels, wedging tables, kilns, seating spaces and storage. Also found on this level are hotel rooms that feature rooms for two containing either two single beds or one double bed as well as spaces of rest.
