DEVELOPMENT SKETCHES
The street project was a partial group
task in the beginning, with an additional element of design as the main task.
The below diagrams were the pre-agreed specification for the design of each
individual’s house. Each house proposal was to be set on a plot of 4m wide and
15m deep.
According to the group agreements, 30%
of the space was to be void, with a 3m high ground floor to include a work
space or office. The scheme was also designed to encourage family life both
internally and externally.
For the individual response, the house
was designed in section to be entered on the first floor directly into the
double height kitchen space. This kitchen space was so designed as to be the
centre of the home, with all other spaces accessible directly through it. The
bedroom spaces are located on the west side to take advantage of the evening
light and the evening lounge area is located on the darker ground floor,
separated from the street by the office space.
The house is serviced and structured using a central core
containing the bathrooms. The house also incorporates the ventilation into the
window strategy in order to avoid solar overheating from the glazing.
