TRANSITIONS
The project seeks to create a continuous flow through the building, guided by the chronology of activities one would follow when going to train.
The boats and training tank are located on the ground floor of the building, providing easy access to the water, while the main entrance is located on the second level, as well as lockers and training room. Programs for the public use are located on the top floor, so they do not intervene with the team’s training.
Gathering and social spaces are located towards the water, therefore maximizing the views towards that side, creating a visual connection with it, considering the direct linkage with the program of the building.
