“Nautique” watersports centre on the shore of the Rursee. FH Aachen (Germany)
THEME
Theme of the assignment was the conception of a water sports centre on the shore of the Rursee. The conceptual design comprehends sleeping accommodation as well as creating existential space for windsurfers , sailors and divers. The analysis of the site and subsequent allocation of buildings was part of the task.
LOCATION
The area surrounding the "Sonnenstrand" Eschauel is one of the most beautiful
landscape around the Rursee. Firstly, because of its exposed situation that is due to the long and slender headland, and secondly, because of the topography at the south side of the headland where a for the Rursee untypical flat rock plateau
stretches gently into the lake and offers an ideal situation for water sports
enthusiasts.
CONCEPTIONAL DESIGN
The conceptional design is divided into two parts. One of them is the main building open to the public, the other is a number of holiday apartments. Changing rooms and storage space for divers, sailors and windsurfers are located on the ground floor of the main building. On the first floor, there is a restaurant and a conference room which can be used multifunctional. There are six holiday apartments situated south of the main building along the headland in a private and quiet surrounding. This quiet natural part of the center cannot be reached by car only via footpaths and stairs. One apartment for groups up to 10 persons which is followed by two family apartments for 4-6 persons. The building complex finishes with three apartments for 2 people, which are very private due to the topographic situation. Directly in front of the main building, there is a spaceous harbour for the sailors. The slipway is just a bit north of the main building. This location was chosen because of the proximity to the best sailing areas and two very attractive diving locations close to the accommodations.
