THE TWIN TREE SCHOOLTHE SPLASH CAVEHOUSE OF SHADESMISCELLANEOUS

THE TWIN TREE SCHOOL

The education is rooted in the principles of evolution and growth, symbolized by our iconic twin trees. These majestic oaks stand together, their intertwined branches reaching towards the sky, embodying our commitment to fostering holistic development in every student. At Twin Tree Academy, we believe that just as a tree grows and evolves over time, so too do our students. Our educational philosophy is centered on nurturing each child’s unique potential, providing a supportive envi-

CREATING A BRIDGE IN BETWEEN THE SOLID

MIRRORING THE SOLID

TRIANGULATING THE SOLID

The concept has been developed from a pentagonal base from which it has been extruded and later on scaling the base to make it pop out and then triangulating the solid is one of the main development to make it look llike it has been derived from origami and a tree finally mirroring it and creating a bridge in between for connection.

The ceiling’s design not only serves a functional purpose by bringing natural light into the building but also adds a modern, artistic element to the space.

The triangular shapes are arranged in a symmetrical pattern, leading the eye upward and giving the ceiling a sense of depth and complexity. The light pouring through these panels highlights the textures and materials of the surrounding surfaces, enhancing the overall ambiance of the environment.

This design element likely serves as a focal point within the building, drawing attention to the innovative use of geometry and light.

The auditorium showcases modern and geometric architecture with sharp angles and a complex, faceted ceiling that complements the pentagonal shape.

The walls are predominantly glass, allowing for ample natural light to fill the interior, enhancing the ambiance There are multiple levels of seating arranged in an amphitheater style, providing good visibility for the audience towards the stage area.

The space is designed for gatherings or presentations, as indicated by the figures representing people scattered throughout the seating area. As this space is situated in the ground floor of the building due to the building design each and every space above the ground floor can look into the auditorium.

The contemplation space is designed by tracing the direction of different atoms together in reference to one single point and later on the structure is carried freeflowingly in order to make it look more organic and like a cave from the inside. This is what it makes look like the structure is framing the sky and natural light coming from the outside through different organic shapes.

The concept has been developed from a single atom which was splashed firstly into one another atom of different size taking this as the framework for the structure an initial form was developed which was later repeated for 5 times on the same height this principle was later applied for 2 times and then all combined with some adjustments done free flowingly this organic structure was formed which looked like a cave from inside.

FORM DEVELOPMENT

STRUCTURE AS AN ABSTRACT ELEMENT

Showing the structure as an abstract element emphasizes its architectural essence, allowing users to grasp the concept of the contemplation space more effectively. By stripping away superfluous details and focusing on the fundamental forms and lines, the abstract representation highlights the core design principles that define the space. It can also be used as an element in landscape design of the contemplation premises.

As one steps into the Atomic Cave, the first sensation is an overwhelming feeling of emptiness. The structure, true to its name, envelops visitors like a natural cavern, with walls that undulate and curve in organic shapes. Light pours in through openings that seem randomly placed yet deliberate in their design, casting dynamic shadows that dance across the rough, rock-like surfaces. These beams of sunlight create a celestial play of light and dark, enhancing the cavelike atmosphere and making the interior feel both expansive and intimate. In this space, the architecture does not demand to be understood or analyzed. Instead, it invites you to experience it. The Atomic Cave is a sanctuary from the complexity of daily life, a place where the mind can wander and the soul can find a moment of peace. The interplay of light and shadow, the textures of the walls, and the cavernous emptiness collectively foster a profound sense of awe and reflection.

THE HOUSE OF SHADES

The House of Shades is ingeniously designed with slanted exterior walls, a feature that significantly enhances its interaction with natural light. These angled surfaces allow diffused light to permeate the interiors throughout the day, creating a dynamic and pleasant living environment. This architectural choice not only maximizes natural illumination, reducing the need for artificial lighting. The slanted walls are strategically positioned to minimize direct solar heat gains. By diffusing the sunlight, these walls prevent excessive heat from entering the house, maintaining a cooler indoor temperature

SHADED SPACES

The concept has been developed from a single space which is converted into a liv

ing space due to scale factors involved transfroming it into a double height hall can in

crease spatial connection and then later on transforming a staircase into a main elelment of design by placing it in living room, the living room can feel more connected later on by introducing a shaft can pull in diffused light and can cool down spaces inside residence
