These sketches originated from mapping daily routines observed in Thulusdhoo. Areas of movement, gathering, and recurring activity were identified to understand where environmental encounters naturally occur. The overlapping of these nodes became the starting point for the project's spatial organization and conceptual direction.
Finding the geometry for the lagoon modules. I wanted to move away from rigid boxes and explore these fluid, organic forms that respond directly to the climate. It’s all about creating a sequence of experiences: pinching the entry to create a "compressed zone," forcing a deliberate pause, and then letting the interior gradually open up entirely to the water's edge.
Spatially, the lower floor handles the heavier, communal programs (workspaces, kitchen, hydroponics), while the upper level transitions into something more intimate, shielded by a screen facade to keep out the harsh tropical sun.
Still refining the thresholds, but loving how the structural rhythm is coming together.
