Made from modelling foam, white card, balsa wood and painted white.
Digital site model built in SketchUp.
Presentation sheets showing the buildings influence from narrow boats which frequent the lock below.
AutoCad drawing showing the boat influence in construction. The shape of the roof allows north light to filter in while the central void allows light under the building to allow illumination and continual use of the lock.
