DESIGN OF RESIDENCE

This project was done in order to establish a clear comprehension about spatial verbs and how their abstract shapes can be manipulated to design spaces with intent and complexity.

The 1st Space is the first floor, 2nd is the space above it, and the 3rd space is created adjacent to the 2nd and lowered, as to create a pathway that elevates the person and then almost returns them to their original elevation but not quite. Hierarchically, the 3rd space is spatially most important because it requires a person to move through 1st and 2nd in order to reach it. It’s also the final destination of the pathway and sheds light both literally and figuratively on the relationship the 1st floor has with the 2nd and 3rd through the window that’s placed in between them. The spaces I’ve created follow the natural grid pattern of the landscape surrounding them and this is to create a stronger relationship between my design and the natural conditions of the land. Generally, the rules are followed throughout the plans in order to create order throughout the spaces and their relationship to one another.
