During the third study a level of proficiency with the formal system was attained, allowing more architectural and spatial factors to be integral into the design as well as providing more freedom in the manipulation of form and surface. Using two surfaces instead of three, an inherent slant was given to both in order to see its spatial opportunities consequences. Not requiring a symmetry of tensile forces provide a greater freedom in design. When designing the issues of circulation and program were directly taken into consideration. This model was designed as a one story house of approximately 900 ft2 with an entry hall, living room, dining room, kitchen, private bedroom, bathroom, staircase leading up to a roof deck and a staircase leading to the communal space in the rear of the building. The structural stability of this iteration was again not perfect, but did not threaten the structural integrity of the model and did not require additional support.
