CaesarStone® Student Design Competition 2011

THE BRIEF

you are to design a space that accommodates this range of activities, for any two people living life [a couple, friends, family, business partners…]

1] define and describe the client as they relate to their accommodation needs within the context of the mixed
use environment

you are to chose the location of the site, town or country, urban or rural, where the range of living needs defined above, from the most private function [traditionally sleeping] to the public interface, co-exist appropriately

2] define and illustrate the site location [climatic conditions, orientation, topography, vegetation, views, access, etc]

the single space, designed to reflect the range of experiential environments appropriate to the zone, is to be no larger then a total volumetric area of 375m3. this cubic area is arrived at on the basis of an average ‘zone’ size of 5x5x3m times the 5 zones. the total cubic area may be configured in any volumetric arrangement and range across the zones, with no height restrictions except those defined by the site

3] submit an area schedule showing the 5 zones
volumetric areas

4] illustrate the design proposal by means of floor plans, cross sections and a 3D external

and internal views as appropriate to show the spatial arrangement of the total space
the design proposal is to reflect a limited palette of materials in both the external form and enclosure, and in the internal fixtures and fittings

authenticity [genuine, original, true, trustworthy] must be the primary conceptual driver of both the form and material design. the primary material must be CaesarStone.
the product is to be used in a broad a range of applications, with innovation, experimentation and

imagination, complimenting the opportunities established in the project brief and location.
complimenting the building envelope, will be internal fixtures, furniture and ‘softs’- the soft furnishings.

5] illustrate by means of interior 3D images, zone mood boards or detail images, the detailing, textures, and tones of the material palette and sensory experience
