This was a design project from an architecture studio class in 2007, revisited in 2019 with the browser in mind. The design intent was to respond to the various levels of light and shelter desired for socializing, boat storage, preparation and launch. Secondarily, and purely aesthetically, it was meant to read as a simple textured form from afar and as a more intricate structure up close. It was also, as part of the course requirements, to be based in some way on a previous case study building, which for me was Herzog & de Meuron's Bird's Nest.
