"The direction of the winds and the path of the sun have determined the floor plan for our project. Protected from cold north-easterly winter winds, nestling up to the forest, the aquatic park opens towards the west to make the most of cool breezes in warm weather. Looking out to the south-west, the aquatic park is bathed in light throughout the year."
"It is oriented so as to receive as much sunlight as possible in winter, while protecting itself from excessive exposure to the sun through its terraces in summer. Like an origami sculpture, our proposal for the aquatic park resembles an unfolding landscape, culminating at around 35m: it is a built landscape, rising into the sky. The structure is visible from the surrounding area - it becomes a point of reference and a symbol of Villages Nature."
The aquatic park’s floor plan is driven by wind direction and the sun’s path. The design shelters from cold north-easterly winter winds by nestling against the forest and opens westward to capture cool breezes in warm weather. The south-west orientation bathes the park in light year-round. Terraced geometry maximizes winter sunlight while limiting summer exposure. The form resembles an unfolding origami landscape and culminates around 35 meters, creating a visible built landmark. The structure contrasts with flat topography and functions as an extension of the surrounding landscape rather than an imposed element.
