Inspired by a previous study on the three states of water, this project attempts to expand the existing program of the Willow Bank Yacht Club located by Cazenovia Lake to include a farm and a forage restaurant. Newly added program takes the form of follies along a horizontal bar providing visitors with sensory experiences of both food and water. To connect the program with the surrounding landscape, water from the lake is retracted into the land to create carved canyons reaching towards the farm area. Additionally, this project reinterprets the three states of water as such: the solid state is expressed through the concrete body of the follies; the liquid state as the curvilinear form of the roof; and the gaseous state as the constantly growing meadow and forest.
