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. The new roof model which I made using the three house shapes, can be seen in comparison to the 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 Geometry Archetype Home Aesthetic Scale environment. In adjusting the roof proportions is was also necessary to change the proportions of the link, as shown in the model photographs below. I am pleased with the composition of this new roof as it strikes a better balance between aesthetics and functionality. The design is in proportion, appropriate for the site and the flow of the interior is not defined by the geometry of the roof, as specified earlier. Aesthetic and Function Roof Model 2 Golden Ratio 20
