This design focuses on the use of light and shadow to create various experiences for
the user.The facility is designed to provide a more open gathering and community
space that is centered around the community sink while also providing more private
and versatile shower spaces.Aesthetic detailing and materials throughout the design
work to integrate the building into its natural surroundings, tie together various
features throughout the building and Lama Foundation, while providing the best user
experience possible. As water is the main feature of this facility, the water heating
tower and rubble trench foundation for drainage are key components.

KOHhaus shower facility
utilizes a combination of
structural timber framing
and non-structural stick
framing. Each wall is
constructed with 2x4
lumber, creating 5.5 inch
walls, which will allow for
insulation to be included
on rooms that require it.
Each wall will be set into
the concrete foundation
wall and attached to the
timber frame.

The main stick frame of
the roof will be attached
to the timber frame of
the structure. Then, a
wooden trellis will be set
flush with the roof
system and covered with
a polycarbonate sheet to
provide protection while
still allowing for light to
shine through.

The roof system will

semi-exposed open to
allow for natural light and
ventilation in the
community space.
