>Paddington Basin. Phase 2.

This project was set backwards, we were asked to design a space for our lovers on an imaginary site . The second phase of the project was to adopt this design for a space within Paddington Basin behind the M&S building near Thomas Heatherwick's Rolling Bridge. I wanted to use the flowing curved lines from the previous part of the project and try to come up with a design where they can be accomodated in the new site. I wasn't too sure how I was going to do this so decided to produce some small sketch models to try and get the feel of the space I was working with.

















My first 2 models. The first one i was trying to create a covered area over the top of the inlet. I represented this using acetate.

The model above shows the idea that I want to persue and develop.

Some Pages from my sketchbook------------------->

This is the sort of design I am looking for. Using cut and fill to re-shape the landscape with a coiled jetty out into the canal , creating a private space for the couple. Not too sure about this drawing, The scale is way off and I haven't dealt with the whole site.
