This project looked at the development of a Live/Work Co-Housing building for Bodybuilding Nutritionists. The key ideas around the design were looking at ways to promote an active lifestyle with the residents, whether it be through the programs and their adjacencies, or through the architecture itself.
The massive structural fins of the project help to provide structure to the project and divide the programs, which are able to shift between them. The smaller fins act as a shading devivce that encircles the programs on both the interior and exterior. This creates a corrugated canyon effect within the buildings atrium space.
