FILAX CENTER

FITNESS & WELLNESS CENTER

A space that connects us with nature through a seam ess des gn within which the outside flora and fauna can be observed at anyt me due to an abundance of open spaces, an escape for some and the perfect place to workout for others in order to push themselves to the limit mak ng use of the world class boxing instructors, fully equ pped gym and the longest cycling track through the forest Squam sh has ever seen Filax is the fitness center that Squamish needs w th more facilities and a better environment than all the nearby competitors

3D VEIWS OF WELLNESS SIDE

Starting us off with a beautiful and calming view of the cafe, coming to the next set of pictures we see the yoga and massage space used to calm the nerves and meditate on a stressful day There is also a library in the same space if reading is what calms the reader than physical remedies coming down we see the pool that can be used to cool off from a sweaty workout or yoga session. The washroom space includes toilets, showers, changing room and a locker room. Finally the art room attached to the cafe space for blowing off stream with some art.

SUSTAINABLE STRATEGIES:

Some of the sustainable strategies adopted is the usage of solar panels in order to have gain optimal levels of solar energy to convert the energy for heaters and ACs in the building Having planned openings throughout the building in order to maximize solar gain and in some spaces opted the compact style of buildings in cold regions so that the heat gain can stay trapped for longer in places that don't receive enough or direct sunlight

DUBAI FERRY

TRANSPORTATION HUB

This design mainly focuses on creating a sense of escapism through the use of connecting main factors such as humans, nature and technology Nature is the key aspect here trying to mimic the curves and control the wildness of nature is the challenge here in this design As proposed earlier changes have made by making the space alloted to building much more seemless and allowed all types of apartments to be present Furthermore we will look at functionings of each space and use of each building type

As depicted the elevations, sections and floor plans are all given here. The more carefully observed floor plan is that of a restaurant within the ferry's interior that was asked to be fully furnished and designed the smaller drawings beside the sections and elevations are explainations o

mimic the waves in the sand and to make a seamless connection between each building for connectivity and natural flow of traffic.

Building types

Tourism buildings are mostly on the east side of the plan as it is next to the promenade and having water features next to it also promotes the reasoning as to why the touristic attractions would be in that side, also the very top of the hill is the cultural center that acts as a focal point for the site and a viewing deck for the entire cityscape.

Residential buildings are mainly on the left hand side though they share mixed functions this area is for the families and visitors who only plan to stay for a day or for few hours. Hence the connective design in order to promote more interaction between the community and easy access from both the residential and tourism side to the centrral green space.

Multi-purpose

Although for classification purposes both areas are defined as residential and tourism but in reality one of the main concepts is to have multiple mixed use buildings to accommodate the needs of users through every space and to have a controlled flow of traffic through each space if needed, this is done through building forms and accommodation of activities within each space.

Area designated to night life along the promenade with a max. Height of 2 stories

Designated area for a bus stop to promote public transportation and increase pedestrian access through the space

The dotted line and red path shows bike path and road access through the site.

Area expected to have night life for youngsters andmainky consists of 3 story buildings.

RESEARCH CENTER

In order to visually integrate the areas and create a more welcome and accessible environment, the building is positioned to face the main pedestrian path The sole practical point of access, which causes the least amount of traffic, is still the vehicular access point, even if it slopes toward the underground parking Seating and shading mechanisms have been included to improve user comfort In order to encourage users to engage with the building s natural overhang, outside amenities like food trucks and sport courts are positioned beneath it

SOLAR PANELS

The focus on ensuring that the exterior facade not only enhances the overall aesthetic appeal but also serves practical purposes. Our design incorporates features such as weatherresistant materials and insulation layers to protect the building from environmental elements and improve energy efficiency. Additionally, we prioritize the integration of solar control elements and UV protection coatings to optimize indoor comfort and preserve interior materials. Our goal is to create a space that not only looks visually appealing but also promotes sustainability, durability, and occupant well-being.

The design has ample access points not requiring the user to have prolonged walks within the building. The section also shows the overhang the building has, since it is quite far away from existing support columns, a cantilever system would aid in supporting this load.

place a strong emphasis on thoughtful space allocation and circulation design. Our approach involves carefully planning the layout to ensure optimal use of space while prioritizing user experience and functionality. By strategically allocating areas for different functions and activities, we create a harmonious environment that promotes productivity and comfort. Additionally, our circulation design focuses on creating intuitive pathways that facilitate smooth movement and interaction between spaces. Whether it's through well-placed corridors, open atriums, or dynamic spatial arrangements, our goal is to foster connectivity and engagement while maximizing the efficiency of movement throughout the building. By combining thoughtful space allocation with intuitive circulation design, we aim to create a space that not only meets the needs of its occupants but also inspires creativity and collaboration.
