Conform Community Centre

Conform Community Centre focuses on the analysis of the tree; specifically its density, structure, and purpose. The dense canopy lifted into the sky by the comparably thin, strong tree trunk, protects anything below from the elements. In a similar manner, the form of the roof gently floats along the lower portion of the canopy, following the carved land below, and creating free-flowing transparent public spaces and translucent private spaces to facilitate a water sports community centre. The result is a new approach to the traditional ‘boathouse’ typology.
