Workshop / Archive / Observation Platform | Maryhill, WA

Part of the Maryhill Loops Road intervention in my thesis: “Constructing the Gestalt”


This area is given a prototyping and fabrication laboratory for longboard skateboards and the necessary infrastructure needed to manufacture small batches of goods. An archive for molds used in the manufacturing process is incorporated into a visitor center that welcomes people to the site. A small pavilion greets visitors and acknowledges the start of the road. Finally, a lookout point engages the diverse topography of the site allowing views out to the surrounding landscape and wind farm.

An aggregation of parts is traced in the formwork of the monolithic walls. The formwork provides a spatial reference to position oneself within the whole.
