Roof Model 1
Improved Scale and Proportion
The three proportional house shapes form an identity for the concept which I could implement
throughout the whole building, from the roof structure, to the furniture and small interior design details.

previous roof. The photo above shows how the size of the roof has been reduced, and the adjacent direct
comparison includes sketches of people, to show how the scale has become more appropriate for the

environment. In adjusting the roof proportions is
was also necessary to change the proportions

proportion, appropriate for the site and the flow of
the interior is not defined by the geometry of the
roof, as specified earlier.
