Project 4: Final Iteration of Proposed Design

Year 1 Studio

I composed my final design on rhino to be more efficient. This enabled me to easily move sections of my design around the space, see where elements fit best in the space and allowed me to easily test ideas without having to start from scratch if they didn’t work out whilst also building up my digital file.

Designing in Rhino

In my final design I changed the entrance point into the space to be more user friendly for anyone with physical disabilities. The entrance is now accessible by elevator and much more open to allow an easy flow into the space.

Due to this change in entrance I had to alter the position of the lockers and bathrooms.

With the bathrooms in their new position I changed their size and didn’t have as many creating a more comfortable space to use. I also included changing rooms opposite the lockers. I also have included some screens in front of both the changing rooms and bathrooms to provide some privacy for users entering and exiting the cubicles.

I changed the shape of the windows continuing the theme of soft natural lines that created the shape of the pools creating a more natural, cavelike, aesthetic. I also applied these soft natural lines to the entrance arch.

I changed the location of the smaller pools to make them more easily accessible and created a walkway around the smaller pools that sits just under the water level to further increase the accessibility to these pools.

I changed the shape of the refreshments bar to a softer natural flowing shape to fit with the theme.

With this design I wanted to enhance and play with the contrasting relationship between sharp lines of the changing rooms, bathrooms, lockers and screens and the soft natural lines of the pools, bar, windows and entrance.
