Origami house

Main ideas underlying design:

-Nature as filter (each space has an indoor/outdoor component)

-community outreach (the roofs reach out and spread toward surroundings)

We were thinking about the post-its from the workshop and how they had been arranged. We didn't have a copy of it with us, bu we settled on 8 main spaces: kitchen, dining, laundry, muli-use (office/guest bed), living, bedroom (x2), bathroom. We arranged them as we remembered and tried to fit in open outdoor spaces in the overlap...this didn't work like we thought it would, so we shifted some spaces and came up with a 'star-like' shape in which the arms were outdoor spaces which defined the overlap between main interior spaces. We then covered the spaces in a roof which defined each area separately and could be arranged in an origami-like shape...the mechanics of this may be difficult, but there are a lot of different ways this could be viewed. Also, walking through the outdoor areas may be fascinating due to a variety of shadows and overhangs-each space could have a personality of its own.
