Carbon Challenge Boathouse
The Carbon Challenge Boathouse is a landmark, mobile, zero-net-energy building which will house the Carbon Challenge Academy and will showcase state-of-the-art energy efficiency in buildings. Because the Boathouse must be able to be moved quickly, it will be modular and compact. Elements with a high level of technicity will be containerized so that they can be unloaded, placed, opened up, and operational in a short time.
Chipperfield Architects is currently exploring the use of wide balcony overhangs to naturally shade the interior spaces and reduce cooling needs; the interior spaces are naturally ventilated by open central spaces. They are working on the principle that a building can be beautiful without compromising performance.
