Ashfield Lake, Massachusetts : a pavilion, a beach and some cottages

Abstract

This architectural project deals with a lakefront development in Ashfield, Massachusetts. The situation is real in the sense that this place has and still does exist, however this project is hypothetical and being used strictly for the educational purposes of a student of architecture. The architectural components of this project include a pavilion, a beach, some cottages, and the site development of this place. This is a situation where the seasonal and year round facilities coexist along a lakefront in a traditional New England village. It is as though this place has the identities of both the village and the lakefront, and the architecture must link these two sets of existing conditions to present an appropriate totality in the landscape.
