Current Site

From studying the site we found that the interior was based on a grid layout from the existing windows and balconies within the interior. The main issue we found in the summer is people chased the shade because of the heat during the summer.

Proposed Site

Our idea was to use all of the existing trees within the space and rearrange them to where it would work throughout the year. We would also create a system to trade trees from the other illas around in barcelona. The trees were also chosen and placed to benefit those using the space year round

Site Grid Diagram

The objective for this beer spa was to make it like the pseudo craters located around the site. So I wanted to excavate from the ground and use anything dug up to cover the building.

By having the building covered with dirt it would allow you to combat the harsh cold climate that is within iceland

The shape of this building took place by considering the best shapes for a studio booth. So this required Avoiding parallel walls to have the best sound for recording and performing

Model

The Interlock was based off of a previous project. When inspecting the model, there was an interlocking L that was noticed in the floor plan. That was used to construct a model then advanced into a floor plan.
