Massing Models

Center Atrium

To priorate the main lifeboat for the station, the main boat hall is located at the center of the volumn and all the function areas are located around.

Clear the center mass to create an atrium for the main boat hall and create a circulation around the boat for maintenance and repair.

Function Division

The surrounding volumn is divided into four main sections, including public Space, control room, staff working space, and staff living space.

Reducing Public Opening

Creating a front opening underneath the control section for the lifeboat to get in and out and reducing the volumn for public functional space to ensure the landslide of working space.

Creating a clear wide opening for the public to enter and remaining a relatively open space for the public. The staff living sector is also reduced to provide better floor height for public openings.

Public Circulation & Ajusting

Adding circulation around the main boat hall for the public, allow them to have a full view of the inside lifeboat station. Compressor the working area to create a staff corridor across the whole working section. Enlarge the Control room to the public part to communicate public with the station.

Staff Corridor

Set back the working and living volumn and create a corridor through the transportation core for staffs and crews to connect their workflow.
