pittwater community point

a group project undertaken at the Total Immersion Summer School in Pittwater, NSW, taught by Richard Leplastrier, Peter Stutchbury and co-ordinated by Lindsay Johnston. the brief for the project was to create a central gathering point for the surrounding Pittwater community. discussion led to a 'building' to be created on the water, to enjoy views back to the land whilst being immersed in what is the connective fabric of the area: the water.

the gently curved and enclosing structure is intended to be approached by kayak or swimming; where to inhabit the inside is to experience a dazzling space created by the reflections off the water and again reflected between the architectural elements clad in a perforated thin sheet metal on the interior (with a sail cloth membrane on the exterior).
