A Precinct of Rest
An Excerpt From humble book by Adam Sharr best i introduces the design concept . “…The streets grow less busy, walking begins to calm us and a sense of mild relief takes hold. We turn from main road into side road, which becomes track and then path. Ten minutes later, the town already feels a world away. The next half hour is spent pre-occupied…”
This vacation house is conceived as a place to be preoccupied with rest. In rest we perceive the symphonies of creation and the poetries of its closeness. Conceptually, this seaside refuge is designed to orchestrate the attunement of the senses and the unburdening of worries. Pragmatically, it strikes a unique perspective in response to the design brief and program requirements. The presented content is schematic in nature and construction documents will be developed upon commission award. While it incorporates concrete built-in elements, phased construction implementation and flexible loving space, Key innovations include:
Envelope: shipping containers with lockable (operable) employed in the superstructure as both a security when the home is not occupied and allow for use of non-built in furnishings
Program: Ample storage & concealed library, A “floating” galley style kitchen, optional terrazzo floor finish (design option in case level 5 polished concerts floor cannot be achieved), Rooftop deck.
Building Systems: dual wood piles under a concrete foundation to sustainably disturb touch the site, rain cistern and grey water storage tanks, xeriscape mango grove
