PROJECT 1

MAJOR CIRCULATION - The main path anchors the center of circulation where all main paths lead the user to this main emphasis. The scattered spaces are split into two zones, or halves.

SPACE PLANNING - Each pod is like a seed, isolated, but still part of the surrounding Costa Rican jungle.

PARTI - The elevated structure follows tree lines and harsh terrain. The open building still provides protection from the ground and flying organisms via organic matter.

CLIMATE - The canvas tent is translucent, waterproof yet breathable. Wind can pass through when the roller shutters are opened to ventilate while at the same time maximizing the view.

HIERARCHY - The horizontal and vertical circulations overlap. The site is dominated by shells which are accessed via their own short flight of stairs.
