House Iterations

Here is what I have been working on in the last couple of days as far as design iterations are concerned.


This first design is focused on purely breaking the house up into the programatic elements of Public, Private, and Education. The middle entry serves as the Education aspect of the house as it would be the greenhouse and filtration center for the home. All of this would be on display while retaining a senese of privacy for the people in the home.


This second iteration focuses on the idea of using Procession through the spaces and the arrangement of them to help establish Public, Private, and Educating spaces. This would also allow for some overlapping in program. Note how the Master Bedroom is on the second floor and the roof planes are being engaged for various potential activities.



The third iteration is a reconciliation and expansion of the previous two ideas combined into one house. The central entry feeds directly into the greenhouse all while serving as the center of the water collection so that it can be displayed as well. While the living room is off to the left the rest of the house is not fully formed but will follow a similar logic to Iteration 2, such as a second story bed room.

Iteration 3 is the one I will be developing first and then possibly combining 1 and 2 for a second iteration. All of this depends on time which we are quickly running out of. Overall though we have a lot of great ideas being generated and it will be interesting to see what we can do by combining various aspects of each of them.
