The "S" house





Thoughts underlying this idea:
-arms open to public (we envisioned the angle opening toward the recreation field)
-watering hole (have filtration system at the 'elbow' and allow clean water to gather in are facing public so people can come and drink water)
-nature defines circulation (planters define space)

A person would enter on the right end into the living are, led in via a curved wall. The kitchen would be divided from living by planters with edible plants. Planters curve through service space (laundry and bathroom) leading to private area of bedrooms. Service space also displays mechanism of water filtration on public side. Bedrooms open toward a private 'greenhouse' type space which is where water collection takes place. It has an exit to a private backyard defined by another curved wall.
