The View Shelter

The View Shelter For my third semestral work at the Architectural institute in Prague I was set to take part in a closed competition between the students.

The task was design a dwelling with a volume of 33m3 for a family with two children that will possibly be arriving with bikes. The dwelling would be built up in a park called Rohansky Ostrov in an urban project area called PŘÍSTAV 18600 (picture to the left). This park is located in Prague, Czech Republic in the district of Prague 8, Karlín. The importance of the place can be seen easily when obse

rving it from the top. It is a central hub, connecting the east of Prague with the centre. It takes one 15 minutes walking to reach Náměstí Republiky, the main travelling point in Prague. At the site, It clearly stood out to me that the main units that are included in the park are trees. I decided to take the characteristics of trees and try to play around with them, connect them to architecture and finally end up with a construction that suits the park but also creates a special, memorable atmosphere. This idea didn’t come from nowhere. In the summer of 2015 I visited a town called Tromsø in Norway. I was amazed by the architecture, how the buildings resembled the natural surroundings. The example of the Arctic cathedral shows this perfectly. It has the concept of taking the mountains in the surrounding, taking its characteristics and creating a shape that is not directly visible to be a mountain, but shares the flow of shadows and edges. My building elevates the people three stories high to a distance of 7 meters. This brings them up to the canopies of the trees and creates views that cannot be seen from anywhere else in the park. I want the people to enter the dwelling and go up to their sleeping places and them to see the magnificent view. They should save this view in their brains, similar to a painting on a canvas, just that it’s imaginary. Thus the original name of the project; Landscape Canvas. The shelter we made out of 3 main units. The first unit is the entering space that supplies the visitors with a place to store their belongings and bikes thus the large area of 2.4x2.4m. The second unit is a dynamic sleeping area for either the parents or children to be used. It features cut outs for the staircase and a door system that can close the open façade to protect the inhabitants from weather. The third unit is a replica of the second but has additional space due to the missing staircase. The VIEW will be created by openings towards the river façade that is secured by mesh fixed to the structural system. This allows the visitors from the inside to see the surrounding nature but still having privacy from views of the park visitors.

Tomorrow will be the final presentation of the project. Thank you to all the team that worked in the project!
