Project 2b: Retreat House @ Cape Rachado, Port Dickson
This project is to further develop our project 2a into a retreat house for a certain cleint at Cape Rachado, Port Dickson. My selected cleint is a Romantic Writer. A retreat house denotes ‘A place affording peace, quiet, privacy and security’ ….. where a romantic writer would reside for a short period of time. This retreat house must function as habitable architectural spaces to enable the activity associated with living, dining, showering, cooking, storage and such within the built up space of 150 m2. The relationship between our design and the context is also important in making the retreat unique to its landscape and activity.
