Project 2b: Retreat House @ Cape Rachado, Port Dickson

Introduction
On your own, you are to further develop your project 2a into a retreat house at Cape Rachado, Port Dickson. A retreat house denotes ‘A place affording peace, quiet, privacy and security’ ..... where its occupant(s) would reside for a short period of time. This retreat house must function as habitable architectural spaces to enable the activity associated with living, dining, showering, cooking, storage and such within the built up space of 150m2. The relationship between your design and the context is also important in making the retreat unique to its landscape and activity.

Objectives

  • To introduce the notions of concepts, program and process in architectural design
  • To introduce students’ to the understanding of user specific design requirements
  • To introduce the notions of space, form and function in architectural design
  • To introduce awareness of site specific design and the process of site analysis
Learning Outcomes
  • interpret and analyse simple site context
  • interpret and analyse client’s character and needs in relation to the design of a small building
  • design a simple building type that meets user requirements and respect site context that balances both internal (architectural spaces/layout/circulation) and external (aesthetics and forms) design values
