Primitive

Site: Batu Caves




I named it as " Primitive", characterized by simplicity, belonging to forces of nature.
.

To design a "space within a space", for a 2 person work/ living unit to be built inside the cave at the top of Batu Caves. My idea of 'Primitive' are to avoid over built on the site and to minimize the usage of construction materials, such as concrete, steel bar.

Usage of timber strip as shelter, floor finishes and the information counter. 
 

The intersection between nature and artificial.

Curving form Timber strip to follow the contour of the sloping rock surface on the site.
