Design process

Analysing Site

Trying to allocate site locations to different zones using colors on site plan. Focusing on results from site analysis (i.e. fall of the land, location of the trees, solar access.etc) this is the final result which gave us the satisfaction.


Preliminary Sketches

Using the diagram we moved on to turn these colours into Domus.

This is result of all approaches, suggestions and solutions.

Our group decided to suspend floor on the north facing part of the building so we get better view and solar access. We also allocated that part of Domus to living areas (i.e. lounge, family).

As the building is stretches towards north, site falls away, floor doesn’t, that is how we create our suspended floor. We gain around 2 meters high space under floor. A little retaining wall would give us where we park the cars. Spiral staircase that leads us from carpark right to the entry which is locatetd at heart of our house, on the lower floor, and it continues its way up to 3 bedrooms upstairs.
