Re- envision of the Vitra Design Museum

My initial idea in redesigning the museum was to transform the function of the building into a five star restaurant. I intend to relocate the building nearby the harbour surrounded by the natural environment, alongside the water so that the building may appear to be floating.

Inspired by 3deluxe's The Leonardo glass cube and Kotaro Ide / ARTechnic architects’s Shell house, the main materials used would be timber and glass frames to blend in with its surroundings.


Like the Shell house I have intentions of restructuring parts of the museum into a round complex structure rather than its basic geometrical square like shapes. Inspired by Gehry's Hotel Marques De Riscal, I intend to alter some parts of the building structural elements into a more abstract form of architecture.

Site Examples:
My intentions for this buildings relocation was beside the harbour overlooking the city.


Inspirations & Precidents:

Materials:



The Vitra model was plain and bold and the idea for it tool look much more abstract then it is was something I looked further into. The way the from this building is what inspires me to add onto my building.
