Views and Shadows
Views
The position of the building, sunken into the ground, allows the windows of the restaurant to be at eye level with the canal. This provides views of the path and the canal for people sat down at the tables inside
Shadows
The cantilevered section of the building over the path provides shade for people walking during the summer time. The building is also situated to allow for both sun and shade on the allotment to help the plants grow
Shape development from the initial design, to experimenting with floor movement, adding materials, and making the most of the large site to expand the building width ways.
