NATURE AND THE LANDSCAPE - KILVE

ARCHITECTURE BRIEF

KEY FINDINGS

THE BRIEF

The Chantry Tea Gardens is re-launching as Tea Rooms and Inn. In order to do this they need to expand into the old ruins. They

will need rooms for the inn and a large open, seated indoor space

for the Tea Rooms. You must design the building in a way that

incorporates and protects the ruins, but is also safe to use as it is currently an ‘at risk’ building. None of the existing structure must be knocked down as the

Chantry is a protected site.

DESIGN IDEA 1

In this design I would keep the existing layout of the building and would be adding a glass roof and glass walls. The roof design has been inspired by the images at the side but are mainly based of the drawing I made of my land art sculpture and the way that the branches bent and curved to form shapes, such as triangles. I have made this pattern more geometric for my design. The roof would be made up of various triangles in different sizes. The roof would not be entirely straight as the triangles would go in and out. Part of one of the main walls would also be made into a large window. This design would add light but may heat up the building too much in the summer.

DESIGN IDEA 2

In this design the layout of the building changes slightly as I would add a large glass addition that would go across the left side of the chantry and cantilever though the gap of the section on the right side. The roof would be similar to that in the photo on the left but the deign would be based on the rocks on the beach. Similar additions would be added to the rest of the Chantry but they would appear as tilted rectangles. Asmacati Shopping Centre
