Competition Entry - Easdale Ferry Office

The Leap of Stones

73352 This project is based in Easdale Island, one of the Slate Islands in Scotland. A side and back extension to the Ferrymen Office is proposed to introduce a better work environment, as well as larger storage. Furthermore, the Passenger Waiting Room is relocated to the Wheel Barrow ‘Parking Space’, right across from the Ferrymen Office.

The project’s core lays on Easdale’s World Stone Skimming Championship. The physics behind the art of stone skimming inspire the Passenger Waiting Room architectural form: Suspended Architecture mimiking a stone skipping water.
