Rovaniemi, Finland
Group of 4 | Role - Design, planning, master plan and presentation
A retreat in Rovaniemi, Finland is designed to showcase vivid northern lights and exquisite snow that appears from October to May and to indulge in the Sami culture through local food, trails, sauna and festivals which are essential and unique to the location. The sun can stay up for 2 months and the night can last for same duration, which allows elaborate design explorations.
The site is situated in Bharuch’s old city, on the bank of river Narmada. The old city was originally fortified, and the fort wall lies on one of the edges of the site. The site is also locally known as ‘Juni Court’ (Old Court) as the ruins of the old building lie there.
The building footprint is divided into three parts - accommodation, academy, and admin+auditorium, which also helps preserve all the trees on the site.
The building envelope creates courtyards on the edges while creating a visual connection to the river from the center.
The main building has offsetting terraces that overlook the river. This space is a spillout area for the academic block.
