This is what Im calling “The Canopy” It is the main feature of the bath house. This is another iteration of the previous one I made and 3D printed. I initially thought that this would cover the entirety of the space I decided that was too overpowering and reduced it in size, now it just covers the main pool area.
The original pillars of the basement space will still remain and each “pillar” of “The Canopy” with encase each one. This will help to soften the harsh right angles of the original space.
I intend this structure to be made from Tawa timber as it is a sustainable local timber and has a similar aesthetic to Pine. (I have covered this in my Materiality blog post)
I also plan to 3D print this to scale in order to fit it in my 1:100 model. Due to it being 3D printed I will not resemble a waffle frame, I was going to laser cut a waffle frame, however the scale is so small and would make it difficult to build. The 3D printed canopy will provide an insight into the curvature and form of the waffle.
