Center for High Yieled
Center for High Yield
The Center for high yield caters to Olympic-level athletes. It’s a space that pays homage to the culture of its surrounding environment while using architectural strategies to create order and focus. The architect split the complex into three zones (Training, Sleeping, Social) and placed them with the intention of emphasizing the mindset needed while occupying these spaces. The training area is at the bottom of the complex and orients itself towards the center of the complex turning its back on the outside world. This was done to allow the athletes training there to be able to focus completely on the task at hand. The sleeping quarters are semi-buried in the middle of the complex allowing the athletes to have a cozy, dark, quiet space where they can sleep and study. The social areas are at the top of the complex and also orient themselves towards the center of the complex, but because of its vantage point, it allows the interior space to grab the views and pull them into the interior space prompting community and identity.
