We made a locker as our furniture piece. The hikers/sleepers and the bathers have a ton of stuff that they are bringing to the bath house so it makes sense that they would like a place where they can store and keep safe their stuff. The prototype is at a much smaller scale than the real thing would be (you've seen what a real locker looks like, so imagine that size). Our furniture piece has two joints. The first is shown by the prototype (the sliding door) and the second is how the furniture piece attaches to the walls of our bath house project.
The first joint was made by using the CNC to cut out the two outer frames. They were "hollowed" out so that the sliding door could be place inside. This granted the door the ability to open and close the full length of the opening (as opposed to only being able to partially open).
The second joint is how the locker door would fit into the bath house. The poured in concrete wall would be made so that there are voids left in the wall. That void would act as the storage space of the lockers. The door would then be placed into the entrance of the void and be nestled in there so that people can't just break in and steal everything.
The furniture piece makes certain parts of our project do "double duty." The walls they are a part of act as dividers. On the first floor they define the changing areas/bathrooms and on the second floor they define the beds for the sleepers. The lockers will be embedded in to the walls that are to the right and left of them.
