ProjectTwo-BathHouse

BathHouse
Design for public use but only open for those who have booked. up to six person maximum every time. 

Inspiring from Louis kahn's spatial relationship and the serious of space.
the form of the main building of this bath complex is  make of 3 same area rectangle, where they are overlapping each other, the spaces where overlap are the secondary space, which is connecting three area(changing area, outside hot bath and indoor cool bath)

and also the ratio of three spaces are try to create contrast of spatial feel when users pass though the small changing area and long narrow dark corridor to the two wide pool areas..
the outdoor bath is designed with seats and a little platform for putting drinks or anything else while facing the garden, enjoying Sydney's warm sunlight. Two stainless steel sun chair are set also.
on the other side, which is the cool bath, is designed with a deeper depth from 900mm to maxium 1500mm in side the "tube". with covered roof. It will create a special lighting effect, which is there is only light come from the skylight of the tube and there is relatively dark outside. and people need to pass though the little tunnel to new new space. it will be interesting. 

also, there is a walkway thought the back of the building, let pedestrians go down to zoneD, to create relationship between others and the architecture while protecting the privacy of the bath house. 

finally, the roof is try to do some geometrical stuff...by divide it into layers with different levels....instead of just one pain roof.

the Model:

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have also done a new design proposal which is developed from the previous draft...

where i add shelf inside each tube and reflect light to the area where under the roof...

so those tubes beside being a part of the bath, structural element (supporting the roof ) , also is a lighting one.

i did think about adding a small walkway at the back, like the one above, but i think it will kind of damage the whole feeling of the design, the completeness.
