Samothrace - Hemmesta Water Tower
Samothrake is our proposal in the competition for Hemmesta's new water tower. The sketch phase was characterized by the intention to create a building that arouses curiosity seen from near and far and that is a positive element in the otherwise untouched nature. Using simple geometries sculpted from a rectilinear block, we found a design language that gave the building a changing shape depending on the viewer's position in the landscape.
Jury Motivation:
This winning entry in an architectural competition demonstrates how deliberate sculptural form can add great architectural value. The design allows the water tower to change shape depending on the viewing point. A building that has all the potential to become a local landmark. The fact that young, untested architects are producing architecture of a high standard and quality can hopefully inspire more people to take part in competitions and calls for entries.
