PROJECT TITLE: SMALL POOL AND CANOPY
THE BRIEF IS TO DESIGN THREE DIFFERENT ‘SMALL POOL AND
CANOPY’ ALONG MIAMI BEACH, PENANG ISLAND BASED ON
UNDERSTANDING OF THE FOLLOWING DISTINCTIVE
ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPTS; CIVIC NARRATIVE, TECHNICS AND
POETICS.

RECREATIONAL HILL

3. CIVIC NARRATIVE – AROUND THE ROCKS
IT IS A RAISED PLATFORM INTEGRATED FOR ACTIVITIES AND
PLEASURES ALONGSIDE THE EXISTING INTERESTING ROCK
FORMATIONS ALONG THE BEACH. THE DESIGN IS INTENDED TO
BRING PEOPLE CLOSER TO THE UNIQUENESS OF THE BEACH
WHICH IS THE ROCKS THEMSELVES. IN PRESENT, VISITORS
STAY AWAY FROM THE ROCKS THAT MAY POSE DANGER AND
INACCESSIBLE, BUT MY DESIGN WILL TURNED IT AROUND AND
ALLOWS SEASIDE ACTIVITIES THAT FUSES HARMONIOUSLY WITH
THE ROCKS. ON THE OTHER HAND, THE WAVE-SHAPED ROOF
ACTS AS A MEMORIAL SCULPTURE TO THE INDIAN OCEAN
TSUNAMI WHICH ALSO HITS THE BEACH IN 2004.

PRECEDENT – JEWISH MUSEUM, BERLIN by Daniel Libeskind
THE MUSEUM IS DESIGNED TO NARRATE SUFFER AND PAIN OF
JEWISH LIFE IN THE PAST FROM ITS FAÇADE TREATMENT, ‘AXES’
FROM ITS UNDERGROUND TUNNELS, ZIG-ZAG FORM THAT
REPRESENTS TORTUOUS LINES, BROKEN CENTRAL LINEAR VOID
AND DISTURBING STRUCTURES IN ITS INTERIOR.

TECHNICS – LONG AND LIGHT, MINIMALIST STRUCTURE
THE STRUCTURE IS SIMPLE BUT THE BEAUTY LIES IN ITS
DETAILS; THE MINIMALIST CONSTRUCTION THAT REVEALS THE
TECHNICAL BEAUTY OF DIFFERENT MATERIALS ASSEMBLED
TOGETHER TO FORM THIS SMALL POOL AND CANOPY. ONE OF
THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DESIGN IS THE USE OF CORRUGATED
METAL SHEET NOT ONLY FOR ROOFING BUT ALSO CONTINUES
ITS WAY TO FORM THE ENVELOPE OF THE STRUCTURE. IT IS
ALSO SLIDABLE TO PREFERENCE OF VISITORS AT ANY TIME OF
THE DAY AS AN EFFECTIVE SHADING DEVICE OR JUST FOR
PRIVACY. THE OVERALL STRUCTURE ALSO APPEARS LIKE A
CONTINUITY FROM THE EXISTING RETAINING WALL.
PRECEDENT – MAGNEY HOUSE by Glenn Murcutt
THIS VERNACULAR DESIGN ADAPTS WELL TO THE SITE’S
CLIMATE FROM ITS EFFECTIVE STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS LIKE
ROOFING, RAINWATER COLLECTION, BLINDS AND SHEETS
USAGE.

POETICS – JOURNEY TO VIEW THE SEA DIFFERENTLY
IT IS A JOURNEY FROM SECURE TO INSECURE EMOTION
SPARKED FROM THE BRIGHT TO DARK TRANSITION OF SPACES.
THE STRUCTURE CONTINUES LINEARLY FROM EXISTING
STAIRCASE TO MIDDLE OF THE SEA FLANKED BY TWO
CONCRETE WALLS TO CALM THE SURROUNDING WATER.
UNIQUENESS OF THE DESIGN IS THE UNDERWATER CHAMBER
THAT ALLOWS VISITORS TO NOT ONLY ENJOY SEAVIEW FROM
UNDERNEATH IT BUT ALSO TO BE OVERWHELMED WITH THE
SOUND OF WATER ECHOED FROM ITS OUTSIDE AND VISUAL OF
WATER REFLECTED INTO THE CHAMBER FOR AN ABSOLUTE
POETIC AMBIENCE.

PROJECT TITLE : TIDAL POOL AND PAVILION
ONE OF THE THREE ‘SMALL POOL AND CANOPY’ HAS TO BE
DEVELOPED INTO A BIGGER DESIGN FOR A TIDAL POOL AND
PAVILION . THE POETICS’ ONE IS CHOSEN . THE DESIGN IS NOT
FAR FROM THE POETICS’ SMALL POOL AND CANOPY AND JUST
LIKE THE LATTER, THE FORMER IS A LINEAR BUILDING
STRETCHES OUT TO THE SEA, BUT IT LEANS TO AN ANGLE TO
FORM A VISUAL CONNECTION TO THE SMALL POOL AND
CANOPY. THE SPACES ARE DESIGNED TO BE MORE ENCLOSED
IN THE BEGINNING BEFORE BECOMING MORE LIGHT AND OPEN
AT THE OTHER END CLOSER TO THE SEA. HONESTY OF
MATERIALS IS ALSO SHOWCASED.
