final model.

Inspiring the form of this design was from my fourth design. The layout was translated becoming the inspiration of the facade. 

Each floor served a different purpose accommodating different facilities. The second floor was to act as the party/dinning space. I used timber cladding to continue the modernity of the overall building. The use of horizontal and vertical planks were to highlight the different floors. There are elements from various designs I previously made, with the final I added extruding windows to maximise lighting into the stairwell. 

To improve: The form and height of the design does not suit a party space in the Auckland Domain. The height is intimidating while the varying shaped windows on each facade is over detailed. To improve, there should be at least two floors, ground and first floor, and similar styled windows to have a better flow in terms of shapes and sizes.

design one.

The focus on this model was how light would enter the space. the rectangular shapes were deformed creating a stone cladding effect. Multiple horizontal windows enabling natural light to fill the room. 

design two.

To improve design one, the canopy was designed longer while also adding a patio as an area for people to go outside. Another block was added to the building where the kitchen or dinning space could be. The change of width acts to differentiate the two spaces. I continued using linear windows for plentiful natural lighting and view of the domain.

design three.

With this design I took a different approach, creating a continuous shape. To adapt the canopy from the last two designs I used the shape of the building to form the canopy. I also manipulated the strips to discontinue the shape of the building. The aim of the windows was to shape how light would enter the party area while having inspirations from Le Corbusier’s Ronchamp Chapel. 

design four.

Again, this design took inspiration from Le Corbusier’s Villa Savoye as it includes a flat roof, pilotis and horizontal windows. I wanted to experiment with intruding and extruding sections as it enables users to quickly identify various spaces within the building. The curved space was to integrate the environment with architecture.  

design five.
