A hobbyist nest for kayakers
Kuala Selangor Nature Park
Selangor
Project Brief:
To design a hobbyist nest for a selected nature hobby, respecting the local context within Kuala Selangor Nature Park. The design needs to be within 62.5m2, and able to incorporate spaces for 4 hobbyist, and supports the daily needs of the hobbyist.
My chosen hobby was kayaking due to the chosen site's close proximity with the Selangor River.
I was inspired by the fiddler crab and mangroves found in the site.
Due to mangrove's being the natural habitat of the fiddler crab.
The fiddler crab being a creature that resembled kayak hobbyist. People who live on land and water.
I extracted the segmented body, the secluded and private lifestyle, the radial burrows of the fiddler crab, into my design. The design morphs into a central common area, while there are separate living areas for each kayaker.
