Project 2- Double House/ Garden- Revised Submission

in terms of ground floor, it is not changed too much. structurally, the huge glazing wall is moved back for 900mm. and the middle section of the wall in made by few rotating window. the reason for rotation window is that this type of window can be used in two types of glass and it is possible to use different types glass in different seasion. and it is easy to clean. to protect the inside view of gallery, the sunshield is put on the western facade wothout stopping the view of the city.

in first floor, the enclosed balcony in each house provides both open and private space for clients. all galzing windows could be opened up, and then a large opening space is created specially for a party. the vacant part in the middle of the terrace is reduced to make the space more efficient. the western living area is moved about 2m to east and cutted a corner to let the sun light go to the residential house near the brougham street.

 in the second floor, the westerm living space is changed. same as the change for the first floor which is moved 2m to east and also the corner in the west is moved backford to make a private garden. and it allows more sun light down to the lower redential houses. and in terms of the eastern house, a private garden is designed to provide an openning space as the victoria street is a flourishing street with great vegetation. especially in summer, the gardens are much cooler that they could be nice places to have a rest.

Project 2-Double House/Garden- Final Submission

in terms of ground floor, it is not changed too much. structurally, the huge glazing wall is moved back for 900mm. and the middle section of the wall in made by few rotating window. the reason for rotation window is that this type of window can be used in two types of glass and it is possible to use different types glass in different seasion. and it is easy to clean the transition of different level make possible to both offer enough heright for large art work and the building will not be too tall.

in first floor, the enclosed balcony in each house provides both open and private space
for clients. all galzing windows could be opened up, and then a large opening space is created specially for a party. the vacant part in the middle of the terrace offers a nice view of galllery. the laundry is design under the staircase which can be seen in the secional view. it could save more space and supprot the staircase.
















the second floor is the accommondation space for two clients. and the window in the bathroom is designed in different way. because the size of window in bathroom should be reduced, but the daylight should be gained as much as possible . thus, is design the window inirrigular form, the outside side edge is larger than indose one, so mode sun light could come into the interior.

 



Project 1- Double House/ Garden-development 2

DEVELOPMENT 2
in this step, i keep the idea of the gallery, just change the space of the studio and office
room. then, i totally change the idea of accommondation to two seperate houses. the weo clients have their own space to live and it also can be opened to a whole terrace by opening the sliding glazing window in the first floor. and they can seat in the terrace with the view of the gallery. the second floor for more private as the bedroom and bathroom locate in there. the third floor offer a private living areafor for the clients. and the private roof garden is designed for the clients. the sun light could go into the central part through the gap in the third floor.

Project 2- Double House / Garden- development1

DEVELOPMENT 1
in this part, i enlarge the gallery space to the whole site size. and divide it into three parts which are not in the same level. thus, it offers enough height for exhibition of sculptures and art works.
the shape of frist floor is changed to a curved shape. this idea comes from the curved shape form in villa savoye. it offers a continious view of the city. the second floor is not changed for accommondation. the third floor is a roof garden as the roof garden is an impressive element of villa savoye.

Project 2- Double House- draft

 

DRAFT IDEA

BASE ON THE CONCEPT IDEA, I ARRANGE THE
GALLERY IN THE GROUND FLOOR AS IT NEED
MORE SPACE TO STORAGE ART WORKS AND
SCULPTURES.
THEN, THE FIRST FLOOR IS THE SEMI-PUBLIC
SPACE FOR A ENCLOSED LIVING SPACE FOR A
REST WITH A NICE CITY VIEW.
THE SECOND AND THIRD FLOORS ARE MORE
PRICATE FOR ACCOMMODATION OF CLIENTS.

Site Analysis
location: 123 victoria street, potts point, nsw
-site boundary about 10m*30m.
-main access should be on victoria street.
-more shops on victoria street.
-more vegetation on victoria street.
-city view in western side.
-about 15m cliff in western side.
-sloping road of victoria street.
-western facade should be protected as the
sun beam into the building directly

Final Submission

For the final submission i bring all my works before to the presentation.

 

Drawings

The part i select is the main frontof the Villa Savoye. the reason i secect it is that the the curve shape of the roof garden is interesting and also the roof garden is one of the important 5 points which are the principles of the architecture design.

 

Model

The model i made in scale of 1:50 and the material i use is the white screen borad. Ther reason i select this part is because that this part contains almost 5 principles wich are the horizontal wintdow, the roof garden, free plan, free facade and the pilots. Also, the change of forms is another interesting element as the curve shape glass wall on the ground floor make a strong contrast to the rectangle cube on the first floor. Additonally, the Roof Garden is used for rfeturning the vegetation that occoupied by the building. And to condeisder the irregular shape of the roof garden is a sort of protection for the activeties acting on the roo floor as the people outside are not able to see what going on inside the roof garden. Also, the shape could stop the wind to flow across the roof garden.

Part to whole

 

Study 1

i just use Auto CAD to draw the whole plan of each floor and use grey backgrond to distingush the part i chooes to the whole.

Study 2

i make a model to show how this part( the main front of the Villa Savoye) relate to the wohle building, obviously, it is easy to see by the section view.

 

Study 3

For the third study, i draw a seris drawings to shwo what exactly people can see in the selected part and the rest part. Thus the relationship could be defined. I draw a sketch that in the position of the glass wall to show the interior living room and the terrace. In the ground floor, the part i choose is the main entrance of the building which contains a strong relationship of the whole building. and the first floor, the living room relates to the terrace by the huge glass wall and the views. And the roof floor, the roof garden is the top of the Villa, and it is an attractive piont of the builidng. (I do not know how to rotate the image, so the image would be in the wrong side)

 

 

Public and private space

 

Study 1

 In terms of the public and privacy, firstly i consider about how to distingush the difference between them - function. Different spaces are used in different functions. To take the ground floor as an examlpe, there are the main hall, maid's bedroom, batroom, laundry and garage. Thus, bedroom and bathroom should be private, the main hall shoule be more public and the garage should be semi-public. However, i change my idea that the main hall is more public than badroom, but it still an internal space, so it should be a semi-public space. And the garage should not bu th public space because the door of garage should not keep openning for a long time that people would not walking around all the time.

 

Study 2

 In terms of the public and private space, this model is directly showing how the space use in public or private by a three dimension view.

 

Study 3

For the public and private space, to make it more abstract, i made many simple objects which represent the different spaces in use, and these objects can be put together to form the entire building, also, the public and privacy for each level can be shown.

Pilots

 

Study 1

And the pilots, simply i just draw by hand at first, to trace the pilots and analyse how the pilots are changed. then, i draw a CAD drawing to make it officially. Basically, the entire plan is divided by 16 equal square by the pilots. and the pilots are changed to fit the internal plan.

 

Study 2

The second study for pilots is showing in this model, i make this model by using the transparent plastic board, semo-transparent polypropene board and toothpick. By looking through the polypropene the arrangement of the pilots would be observed directly. And the transparent plastic can presents how the pilots stand inside the building.

 

Study 3

the third study is more specific, as the images shown, the pilots mainly have three types for example, the wall on the right hand side, the pilots are actually in-filled in the wall, but the those at the bottom are settled behind the wall. And for some of the internal walls, the pilots are arranged semi- in- filled the wall. Thus, based on these details, i made this model.
