Club Hub

Individual Project | 2021. 01-2021.04

 

Club Hub provides an environment for people who have passion and hard working on study, also love learning knowledge and conduct academy discussion/communication. Also a temporary dwelling space for students live far away from campus 

Site Research

The chosen site is on the intersection of King St west and Spadina Road. As one of the busiest areas in Toronto, the site covers various types of enterprises including education, market, business district, book stores, restaurants, cafes etc.

The adjacent buildings are mainly historical complex ranging from five to twelve storeies, along with newly built high-rise. Since the site is surrounded by universities, the student population is dense and the surrounding supporting facilities are relatively minimum.  

Demographic Analysis

Affected by the rents, not all students live close in the Downtown Toronto region. If taking subway or other forms of transit, it may take more than one hour to commute.

Concept

Outcome

Structure of extension compost of timber, steel and glass which all have good heat insulation and low in weight. Canopy can be used as a collector of solar and wind energy, absorbing energy for saving and providing heat for building. Continuous insulation maximizes energy efficiency

It also brings a certain sense of texture and vibration to the facade. Implicating a change changes in pedestrian perception in the mediocrcity
