PROCESS/CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT POSTER,

AND 3D CAD VISUALISATION POSTER FOR DOMUS.

Minima - Project 2

Concept: Started with cube broken into distinct areas for habitation, wet area, study area, storage and cooking area.
Refining: Broke out the cube and attempted to design the separate spaces for specific purpose


Final Development: after taking specific review of what space is required to accommodate myself I came across a grid of approximately 700mm square and 1800mm in height and length. The building is in four spaces, sleeping capsule in yellow, wet area containing toilet, shower and basin in Blue, Storage and services (desk, cooking etc) in Red and study / working area in green.

Tablinum - Project

Better late than every, here is my Tablinum project for the record.



In this design I wanted to use the available materials to their maximum size, as a juxtaposition to the minimal concept of the design. The triangle gave me the purest spatiality to provide the maximum height, width and length. The location was specifically chosen to allow the best light, access to facilities and the out of the way nature of the space. Overall I wanted the design not to stick out but blend into overall space.

Domus - the first sketches of our snail theory_16/05/08

These were the original sketches made by myself and my other members of my group for the Domus project

Development of Domus, final concept sketch week

The following images are just some sketches of our proposed residence in the WA desert. I have shown concept sketches, our inspiration of the shape of our rooftop as well as of our pods, which each person residing in the complex will have. Each pod has sleeping space, food preparation and cabinetry for storage and are mobile throughout the complex via a track system on the ceiling. All pods are detachable and can be removed from the complex to create more movement and flow throughout.

my group has decided to use rammed earth as the material of choice as it ha great thermal properties, is efficient in that we can use the earth we will be excavating in order to go underground and it will hopefully allow our building to be in harmony with the landscape.

a great site outlining the benifits of rammed earth is http://earth-architecture.com/benifits/
