CHOSEN SITE

I liked the restrictions of the brief, I felt myself being more creative than usual. The appearance of my design took the form of a triangular/pyramid, through sketches and inspiration and somehow this form seemed to be very prominent and repetitive. It was great as this fitted perfectly in my chosen site, cosy under the stairs. The main scheme provided a minimal space for myself to my personal preferences. For example I like the idea of being cosy when I sleep and I don’t mind the minimal space above my head in the study area as long as I can site comfortably. I also like the idea of small peek-a boo views to the waterfront through the ‘special red bricks’. The red blocks (aka the rotatable blocks to provide openings) seemed to be the winning feature of my design. It was the whole notion of the magic brick, or tap the right bricks to enter the secret world (like in Harry Potter for example).

I had a lot of positive feedback from my presentation. My ideas were said to be clearly represented through the 3D’s and sections . Even tho there was a comment on my sketches being a bit too messy (which I was expecting), Matt said he quite like it, as it demonstrated that I was thinking.
