The dwellings which I’ve designed for my client Anne are essentially the same design placed in different configurations and merged at certain points in order to form one entire dwelling. Anne is a renowned fashion designer living in the city of Hamburg, Germany. I’ve constructed these dwellings so as to suit the needs of her hectic and public lifestyle. Her dwelling is a place where she can relax and be at peace. The overall dwelling is a rectilinear form divided into three main areas. I.e. Public, Garden, Private. The public area consists of the kitchen, dining, restroom, open space for the entertaining of guests and the vertical tower that is an empty space or foyer located at the point of entrance. A small wooden bridge is the link between the public and private dwellings. The garden is situated between these two dwellings and acts as a barrier between the uses of these spaces. The external facades of the studio and tower are constructed of timber columns that have an undercoating of translucent material to enable natural light to penetrate through the spaces. Whilst the main external body is constructed of concrete that have fenestrations located at certain points to allow natural light to enter.
