The House (Interior Major Project) | Page 20

Inside Out Roof Model 1 and The Link Ground Floor Glass Tower First Floor Roof Layer Model Now clear on the expectations of my design, I wanted to put this into practice in my 3D working model. Focussing just on the interior design of The House I started by dividing up the ground floor, influenced by the development of the colour model and visualisation of the entrance. The glass tower was then added to the model, from which I could build the First floor around. It was at this point I also decided to integrate a first floor balcony, that would wrap around the south and west sides of the building, allowing the space to feel more connected, and creating a horizontal dialogue between The House and Grandmas House across the water. The roof was crafted piece by piece, a further development of my initial archetypal house models, but his time all of the forms linked together. The Link Floating bridge development The Link Contemporary Influence Naturally at this point the link started to develop. Initially intrigued by contemporary examples of bridges, such as Thomas Hetherwick's Rolling bridge and the Twin Sails bridge at Poole, I liked the idea of movement and transition. Through research and analysis of the aforementioned bridges, I developed three conceptual starting points from which I would design my link.
