FLOOR PLANS DERIVED FROM SETTING UP VIEWS FROM SITE

Floor plans!

Open areas in pink for public to walk though. allows visibility from river through building to back area near cliff which is a little hidden bamboo forest. Allows for public access. Seamless connection between land, water and buiding. Uses different materials to evoke different experieces. Small stones/pebbles as you emerge from wading through the water around the buliding. large rooms for group class sessions. A private reading room open to the public. 

Level 2 --- large open group space with framed views. Saunas, hot pools and toilets.  These are located on a lower levels because they are larger spaces, these spaces will allow the buiding to have a sturdy base to ensure the vertical elements are able to stand ridgidly.

Pool pools, walking areas and offices/learning spaces with electrical outlets are situated here. Offices/learning spaces comprise of pebbeled floor, water, stone and bamboo, encorporating different calming materials to enhance the learning experience. All materials were taking from site or inspiration from site. 

Small walkways connect pods. Would prefer to design the walkways in a more interesting fashion. Want people to be weaving in and our of the bamboo, sometimes on glass, sometimes on stone, sometimes through water. A cleansing journey. 

Walkway on very top level connecting building to cliff and new farm. Walkways are open to the public, they run through the "tree tops" and activate the space from above. May need to include a cafe/bar/restaurant in one of the sheds and do a revamp on a shed so as to attract people to the space at night.
