Casa Equis Barclay & Crousse
For this project, my partner and I studied Casa Equis, a vacation home in Peru perched on a cliff looking over the ocean.
This house has unique features like its open roofs and utilization of natural light.

Project 2: Mondo Materialis

This project was based on our case study house. We were asked to choose three words to describe the house and create designs based off of those words.
Focused, Interlocking, Expansive

From there, we created drawings and models.

My plot on the class site
For our final project of the year, we were asked to design a cabin that would be put on a site with the rest of our classes buildings. Each cabin is about 500 square feet.
12
Each cabin is inspired by our mother houses from Project 1.
13
This cabin features a staircase, and main wall that divide the house. There is also a loft.
However, the main feature of this house is the glass top and front.

Example of celing glass
Another feature of the house is its ability to open. It converts to an open front porch/patio house.

For this project, we were asked to design a small house on a small site.
We were asked to add an indoor staircase, windows, and two entrances, one of which the land is built to meet.
