DESIGN - SENATE HOUSE - PRECEDENT STUDY
Final Wooden House by SOU FUJIMOTO
A great example to show an interactive space via different levels. It allows privacy from one another if needs be as well as giving views and light into the structure haphazardIy to add a sense of fun and curiosity.
UGIBRIGHT by ArceloMittal - Mirrored or rolled steel cladding.
I must admit I am a bit of a magpie, I love shiny things; the reflections and character they can muster for a building or structure. By adding a reflective cladding you can, in my opinion, blend in and contrast depending on how you use it.
I think the mirrored version will make any building stand out moreso than the rolled. The mirrored reflections are distorted whereas if you look at the second picture which displays the rolled cladding you can verify that it has clear reflections and thus blends in more naturally with the sky and its surroundings.
Although both types are very appealing I am leaning more towards the mirrored as I think I can create something more striking and abstract.
