In my Introduction to Design class, we were given a project to design a pool house using a shipping container. Shipping containers have become very popular in architecture because of its recyclable use and they are relatively cheap. Our instructor, Emily Reynolds gave us the project description with our new clients (fictional of course!).
Mr. and Mrs. Smith live in Charleston, South Carolina where they have a beautiful house with a relaxing pool in the back yard. The only thing the Smiths are missing is a pool house. Since they are close to the Charleston port, they decided on getting a shipping container and re-purposing it into their brand new pool house!! The clients expressed the needs for covered dining for at least 4, a place to read/play cards, views of the pool, and additional lounging space.
First we had to start with a rendered floor plan to see if the furniture fit in the space and also to see what was going in the space.
In the project description, we were asked to make a model of the shipping container pool house out of foam core board.
Here are some of the rendered elevations...
After the models were finished, I put together a presentation board to show all the elements of the pool house.
