EARLY SKETCHES In the early design process, I try to define the scale and the functional spaces of the site from the mock model.

SELECTED MODEL

The bubble diagram was used for early visualization of the 5 main functional spaces and the way those 5 spaces interact each other

3D SKETCH MODELS From the mock model, I try to define the 5 main functional spaces by simplifying, scaling and rearranging the spaces

DIRECTION - The building is North facing and the garden is pushed back to South West which give a better light control to the structure and flourish to the garden.

People can choose either to go into the building by following a curvy path or get straight to the garden.

SITE APPROACH 27

When people first enter the building, they will go into the main threshold which connects all the spaces in the building.

THRESHOLD CIRCULATION

THRESHOLD 28

The tea serving space is a public space where people can talk and enjoy wonderfull view outside the garden.

- Two different levels in height connected by stairs make the space more energetic and offer people to variety of view points.

- Diversity in window shape brings different light experiences to the people in specific times of the day.

LIGHT STUDY MODEL

INTERIOR VISUAL - TEA SERVING SPACE 29

The garden is located in the South of the building which offers beautiful scene and also helps to cooldown the temperature in hot summer.

VISUAL LOOKING OUTSIDE - FROM TEA SERVING SPACE 30

The second threshold is a curve path connecting the reading room and the tea room. Beside of giving a better circulation, the path also offers an interesting view toward the garden

THRESHOLD - CONNECTS READING AND TEA SERVING SPACE

View inside the threshold 31

The reading space has a special window system: - One long window placed high up near the ceiling stretches horizontally from the north side all the way to the west - A thin window located in the south wall brings interesting light pattern and also gives better control over directed south sun light.

The window system offers an even light quality throughout the space

LIGHT STUDY MODEL

READING SPACE 32

The repose space has light quality as a light of a candle.

CONCLUSION As the very first design studio I’ve ever taken, the whole process from the early 2D composition to the very end of the actual design brings lots of excitement but also challenges. However, the challenges just open a whole new spectrum of what I can learn from architecture an the infinite possibilities that architecture could offer
