Who wouldn’t like to have a garden in the sky?
The task of this project is to design a wooden house/ shelter/ shed on a rooftop in Bertrams, Johannesburg.
The underlying idea is to develop prototypes that can exploit large, flat city roof areas that have hitherto remained unused as outdoor recreational space.
In this specific case, your client is Zola Maseko, a re-known South African film director. He lives on the top floor of the mixed used industrial building and wants to develop the roof directly above his loft into a garden, with the roof pet as integral part.
You are free to design within the following requirements:
Material: wood
Programme: meeting place for 4-6 people
bar/ small kitchen
storage for garden tools, outdoor furniture, golf equipment
seating area, shadow
a place to sleep inside under star sky
WC, bassin
fire place
outdoor shower
projections
views
Size: enclosed space: ca 40 – 60 sqm
Special: the structure has to be used inside-out: one should be able to use it from the outside when the inside is closed and open up the inside so it becomes part of the outside.
Attention: make sure all material is easily transportable onto the roof.
carefully integrate possible winds, sun and rains into your spatial and material development
Process: concept/ idea, sketch design, design development, detailed design
Production: models
site model (w/roof pet)1:500, min. Bertrams Road, Bezuidenhout Ave, 1st Ave, Gordon Road, wood or foam, one model for the whole class
building model(w/roof pet) 1:100,
1:50 wood or white/ grey cardboard, one model for the whole class
roof pet model 1:50-1:20, wood
drawings
site plan 1:500,
roof garden w/ pet 1:100,
plans, sections, elevation roof pet 1:50-1.20
3 perspectives – eye height
3 concept sketches/ diagrams
section 1:10 (construction hand in)
The project will be judged on
a) development of understanding of wood as a structural building material
b) concept/ structure and space
c) spatial qualities of roof pet based on programme and context.
d) quality of spatial representation in model
e) quality of spatial representation in drawing
All submissions have to be pinned up before 13 o’clock in the studio on Monday, 23 March 2009.
Late entries will not be accepted and be marked 0%.
