Project idea
The brief was to position two prefabricated steel dome structures alongside a main building and parking facilities on a sloping 17.5 perch site to provide a glamping experience.
Project description
The layout is a series of decks positioned along the slope, connected by a steel mesh staircase, which acts as a spine. The main building is conceived as a simple yet elegant black box, that sits gently by the road. This structure houses an open dining, a kitchen, a powder room, and a caretaker quarters.
Technical information
Steel structure, timber decking, GI sheet cladding, and the gabion wall are all in response to the underlying design motive, maximum impact with minimum disturbance. The result is a humble architecture that respects the context and allows the users to dwell in quietly.
