Description
2nd year final project
have to design a house/bookstore building, bookstore is on the bottom floor, house on the top floor.
dimensions are pretty strict here, its a long strip of land thats around 15m by 40+m, and height limit cannot exeed 10 meters (3 floors)
the concept behind this design, as you can see from the top floor, a seperation between private/public space (light vs dark) the kitchen/living room/dinning room/hallways are considred by me as a more public space, thus there were no walls at all in seperating their space, instead, i use placement of objects (such as countertops, stairs, floor heights to distinquish the space), a large balcony windows and sun-roofs allows maxium light penetration. the bedrooms are considered private space, thus they are seperated by walls.
on the botom floor lies the bookstore, its kind of hard to see from the picture, i might provide floor plans and sections later. the bookstore is designed to direct flow between the aisles, the dynamtically placed circular book shelves are placed in such a formation that "stretche" and "squeeze" space, thus directing "traffic flow". anyways, its hard to explain without anything to look at, i will show floor plans after its been scanned as it is very big.
