THE SHADED roof

It is common practice within the village and surrounding context for building columns to extend through the roof. This is done with anticipation of future growth. Without this, the desire to grow means the breaking of the roof slab to extend the structure which is fairly expensive. These columns and roof space are typically underutilized. By adding a transient trellis integrated with the columns, the roof turns into an outdoor terrace that can be utilized throughout the course of the day. The outdoor location can be used as public gathering space complementing the haven. A rooftop exercise space will also encourage health-related activity to occur. This visualization of continued growth establishes a sense of permanence to the surrounding context.
