CONCEPT MODELS

Model 01

model #1 model #1

For last stanza for this concept model, I went to frame up the sea views and the land. I wanted to capture the view during the day as it can only be seen during the day. I also wanted to capture the view of the edges of the cube, thus having such structure in Northeast and southeast and also making “the hidden reveal”.

Model 03

Concept model #3

For this concept I wanted to explore its main exterior of the building, without having to think about capturing the view or how to place the windows, etc. Instead, I explored how I can achieve such design using the same pattern with some being inverted with the thought of my last stanza. Thus, ended up with such concept.

This design concept, I wanted to relate more to my last stanza “The hidden reveals’. My main focus is the Northeast, it is designed in a way where the sea can be seen from the inside of the cabin while at the same time gives privacy. The vertical thin rectangular shape is extended from the base of the cabin to the roof. Some of it are positioned in an angle to prevent the inside of the cabin to be seen, however it still allows the sea to be seen from the inside. At southwest and southeast, I went to explore shapes and other designs that could compliment the design of Northeast.

For my architectonic model, I went with concept #2 and some of the concept of #3 in my concept model. I went with its design and focused on its best view first then proceed with the rest of the other faces of the cube.

With my architectonic model, I was inspired with the cabin on the bored with its functions and its simple design, thus incorporated it in my model design. In my model, majority of its clear and some of opaque panels/windows are pulleys. The model that faces North is an opaque panels/windows pulleys that allows it to be rise and will capture the view of the sea. During the day when all the pulleys are raised up, the cabin will have a natural ventilation, which helps the cabin to save energy consumption. During days that it rains, the panels/windows pulleys are closed, preventing the rain to enter the cabin, and closing the view of the outside as well as during the night. Thus, relating with my last stanza, “the hidden reveals”.
