Cappanalea Boat House
The design is an architectural response to the site and context and is both distinct and bespoke to the site, giving a sense of identity and place. The design approach aims to achieve the required brief by creating a building which is contemporary and ‘of its time’ which is simultaneously generated from respecting and referencing the context.
The design is;
- Balanced
- Well proportioned
- Uses a simple palette of durable and sustainable materials
The design is generated primarily by three concepts;
A. The Brief
B. Minimising the impact in the landscape, and a strong emphasis on the environmental impact, both of the initial build and through operation.
C. Green Agenda
