Camptong Island and Museum / ArchiWorkshop

March 18, 2019 Pilar Caballero 0

When I visited the triangular site in Cheongpyeong Lake, I felt as if I was floating on the lake. It was like standing on a prow. The whole site was composed of gneiss, giving it an image of hard and solid earth. Inspired by the land, we started the master plan for a unique leisure experience. The site is about 2,500 pyeong (approx 8,264.5m2), largely divided into exterior space, art gallery, restaurant, welcome center, and glamping area. Access circulation is divided into public areas, open to everyone; the art gallery, which is semi-public; and glamping zones, used as private accommodation for guests. Boulders, which consist of rocks that settled down there, were reinterpreted as a platform that overlooks the lake, i.e. an open square.

Urban Space and Context Mining
The project is located 500 meters north of Xixi Wetland. The Xixi Wetland is special in that it integrates urban wetland, agricultural wetland and cultural wetland in one. However, the surge in population and ecological damage associated with urbanization have changed the quality of Xixi. The protection of the wetland promotes the dual benefits of urban economic culture. However, the seemingly win-win result of the protection of the wetland brought by the perfect migration of aborigines makes it difficult to reproduce the scenes where nature and life are intertwined, which is lamentable.

Wall House / MC Architecture Studio

March 18, 2019 Andreas Luco 0

This residential home resides atop Mt Pleasant in Christchurch, New Zealand overlooking the natural landscape of the mountain and the waters of the Estuary. Designed to the landscape and surrounding environment, the building’s form stands honestly with purpose. MC Architecture Studio was fully aware of the surrounding environments impact on the building and vice versa. The Wall House has been formed to address, and exist alongside, its exterior world. Its fragmented northern façade splits open for maximum sun contact, while protecting a sheltered outdoor living area from the prevailing winds. The shape creates two alternative wings, one reaching out to the North Eastern corner of the site, while the other leans to the North West directing out towards the view.
