The integration of the three building blocks is well-executed. Utilizing the site’s slope to create terraces is a smart approach, and the use of timber adds to the sustainability aspect of the design. However, the three blocks should be connected internally at some point, unless the intent is for them to function independently. Connecting them would enhance the overall cohesion of the project.
The floor plan and detailed façade show intelligent design, allowing for flexibility and adaptability, which are key qualities for the project. Given that this is a sailing pavilion, a few questions arise that weren’t fully addressed:
1. Proximity to Water: Where is the lake or body of water located in relation to the buildings? The water should be clearly represented in each section so that we can understand the distance between the buildings and the shoreline. This connection is vital for a sailing pavilion.
2. Space Annotations: The different spaces within the building are not annotated. This is crucial for understanding the layout and interior planning. The concept of retractable walls and flexible spaces is clever, but we need annotations to grasp how these spaces are organized and how they function.
3. Site and Environmental Context: A deeper understanding of the surrounding landscape is encouraged. More information on the nature of the land, vegetation, proximity to the water, orientation, and sunlight exposure would enhance the design. These environmental factors are important in shaping the relationship between the building and its context.
