Conceptual Drawing for House Bester, Hermanus

These imagined outdoor rooms are presented as the substance of the image here. Spaces separated by screens made of images of vegetation.

A sketch of my childhood home. 

While the sketch started with a recollection of the house plan, the emphasis is on outdoor spaces. The memory of my home is now blurred with the focus on outdoor rooms. Rooms which never existed but were distinguished from each other by vegetation, programme (some outdoor child activity), change in level, privacy (hiding) and lastly imaginative desire (what could it be? what could be here?). 

This may serve as a starting point to explain my approach to spaces between buildings - a hyper-personalized version.
