*호수위의 대피소, 자연과 병치되다 [ AFGH Architekten ] Dock Connects Lake Building to Shore in Switzerland

롯시 호수 대피소는 조정과 같은 각종 수상스포츠를 지원하는 구조물로 아름다운 자연풍경 속에 또 하나의 자연으로 동기화 된다. 인공적인 부산물인 아닌 자연과의 조화를 위한 컨셉은 3층 규모에 심플하며 엘레강스한 파사드로 디자인되며 프로그램 및 계절에 따라 각기 다른 형태로 변형, 활용된다. 이러한 가변성은 공장주문 생산 방식으로 제작된 우드판넬 시스템을 통하여 이루어 지며 전면 오픈되거나 닫히면서, 전망대 또는 프라빗 큐브로 변화된다. 호수 위 드라마틱한 포지션과 더불어 하나의 예술작품의 퀄리티로 완성된 대피소는 일회성 장식품이 아닌 자연의 오브제로 배치된다.

Lake Rotsee Refuge was designed by AFGH Architekten in Lucern, Switzerland as a facility to house athletes that use the lake for various lake sports such as rowing. The setting is a beautiful one and AFGH did not want to impose upon the landscape with an ornate or flashy exterior, and chose instead to create a 3 story façade of simple elegance that can close up into a private cube or open wide into a viewing station. The final result is an architectural installation with sculptural qualities that transform through usage much the way the landscape transforms through the seasons.

The walls of the athlete refuge are covered in panels that can open wide when in use and for three weeks each year the open version is a constant. Made from prefabricated wood components and supported over a concrete foundation and staircase the 3 story building is as much a spectators paradise as it is an athlete refuge.

From the dock a flight of concrete stairs leads up to the main entrance.

The timbered dock is set on concrete pilings - as is the building itself

Hinged plywood panels that slide and pivot to open wide or close tight create the window shades. When open, the extending panels shade the interior from the intense summer heat.

The window panels close up tight to protect the building from whatever mother nature might throw its way during the off season.

Whether the windows are open or closed, the silhouette is unassuming against the stunning landscape, even when doubled in size through its reflection. The reflection creates a fun ensemble of positive and negative shapes created by the void below the pilings and dock and building itself.

The visual up close is as interesting as it is from a distance. Here, the lake views take centre stage from the colourful entry hall and the exterior observation deck.

The blue entry door adds a jolt of colour in an otherwise neutral interior of treated OSB panels on the walls and timber planks on the floors and ceiling. A wall of open shelves is the perfect place for athletes to store their personal belongings before heading out to the water for practice sessions.

The window wall is designed to be a viewing post when events are taking place or when friends and family are there to support their loved ones as they practice.

For organized events, plywood clad bleachers can be pulled up for a triple tier viewing station.
