Transcript of Kerachut Beach Site Analysis Part 2
H U M A N & A N I M A LA C T I V I T Y
Turtle Landing- Happens all year round. - Higher frequency of landings
on south side of jetty, due to unique sand and trees.
- Lower frequency of landings on north side due to high human activity.
Fishing• A common activity by the
campers and trackers.• A higher frequency of fishing
towards the East side of the lake as it is less swampy and easier to excess for fishing.
Tracking Trail • Basic means of getting from
one place to another.• Some trails are less traveled
as the duration and difficulty level of the trail.
Camping Site • A fixed area is cleared for
campers to reside.• Max 100 people are allowed
to camp in the area.• Highest intensity of noise
and light. • Far from beach to avoid
interrupting turtle landing.• Situated on high and firm
grounds.
Beach Activity • Pantai Kerachut has a very
wide beach which allows a wide range of activities to be held.
• Water sports are banned to avoid hurting marine life
• High frequency of human activity and noise on the north side of the beach as the south side is out of bounds due to turtle activity.
Boat Activity• Boat activities are
minimalized to reduce sound and water pollution as it will effect the frequency of turtles landing.
• Boats are not allowed to access south section of the beach, does not interrupt turtle landing.
Noise Pollution • Occurs at places with high
human frequency and at places with activities.

HIERARCHY OF SPACE
The focus of the buildings are the observation deck and coast watch room on top that provides panoramic view of the sea. This is where the main activity of the building takes place.
The lower observation decks and storage are the minor parts of the building.
The spaces highlighted in light green are the spaces where circulation takes place. This is the space with the least human activity.

SYMMETRY & BALANCE
REPETITION & RHYTHM
The Seljord Watch Tower’s façade is made out of repetitive vertical wooden louvers which creates a constant rhythm all around the building.
The rectangular observation decks are repeated at different levels to provide different views.
