Swimming in Honey

We were assigned a site in Clemson, South Carolina, to design a bathhouse that would serve as more than just a communal bathroom. The intent was to create a unique feature that enhances the adjacent snow center, offering students a place to recharge before and after their lake activities. My proposal reimagines the bathhouse as a versatile space that fosters interaction with the water through a connecting dock. The design includes an oversized roof that provides shade and creates dynamic shadow patterns, effectively extending the usable area of the structure. Drawing inspiration from the Moore Honey House, the bathhouse design harmonizes with the site, thoughtfully addressing its specific functional and contextual needs.
