D1 [Card Model]

With these aspects in mind I designed card model D1. Fundamentally the model has two points of entries. Both of which are the primary focus of my concept. The entry points are essentially the tower on a horizontal axis, which is broken down into two, so as to form the point of entrances. The large-open spaces within the towers are warm and inviting. As one reaches the end of either tower you are greeted by large open space that are used for public uses i.e. Living/Dining & Kitchen. Although the kitchen has its fixed permanent place it doesn’t have any internal walls dividing it from surrounding spaces. However the dining and living can be rearranged as they don’t consist of any permanent fixtures that are required to use those spaces. Whilst the private places being the bedroom, Anne’s studio, bathroom and toilet are closed behind internal walls. Although, no fenestrations are apparent on any of the 4m high wall facades, light is able to enter into the space through glazing located almost around all the edges of the roof. I made this design decision as I wanted my client to still have an indirect view to her surroundings in order to maintain her privacy. This same idea was applied to there being no apparent fenestrations on each of the wall façade.
