Just thought it might be an idea to show some of the things I was thinking (before even havign looked at the site plan). I already knew what was coming so I was formulating some stuff in my own head- but here is the initial analysis...
I was looking at patterns of use (which the architect claimed the house was based on)(Carter 2008: 62), and was also looking at public and private areas. Though at this stage, I thought the work area was private (architects have clients Ruhee!)...
Here I decided the work area should be totally seperate, but still thought of it as semi-private- thought starting to get on track.
Movement. Its actually meant to represent movement of people up and down the slab/foundations because the house had a lot of small steps. the bottom was me looking at the iteration i was currently up to- a house that would have cured obesity!
Still thinking about patterns of use and movement.
Inside/Outside on whichever iteration I was at.
And she realises she needs a site! No joke, it was at this point that I woke up and went "oh my god where does this house go". Still not the final plan, but you can see my slightly cruciform plan there, with the Balaam Residence and Isaacson Davis house across the road. Clearly, I had not figured out what to do with Casa Tolo as yet.(Carter, p. 2008. Selected Works. In John Wardle Architects. 53-268. Thames & Hudson: Victoria.
