CONCEPT

THE MAIN CONCERN OF THIS DESIGN WAS TO ESTABLISH TWO SEPERATE SPACES THAT HAve COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PROGRAMS UNDER THE UNITY OF THE SAME STRUCTURE. THE OFFICE SPACE AND THE RESIDENTIAL SPACE ARE SEPERATED FROM EACH OTHER BY THE CIRCULATORY MID WING. IN ADDITION MID WING NOT ONLY ACTS AS A BUFFER ZONE, BUT ALSO BLOCKS THE VIEW THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE WHICH ALLOWS TWO SPACES TO HAVE THEIR OWN DISTINCTIVE VIEWS OVER THE POND.

A- THE FIRST LIGHT BOX STUDY

ALLOWED ME TO UDERSTAND HOW TEXTURE CREATES VERY INTERESTING AND DYNAMIC ATMOSPHERE WHEN LIT FROM DIRECTLY ABOVE. THE BAMBOOS IN THE CENTRAL COURT YARD REFRENCES TO THE TEXTURE OF THE WALL FROM THE LIGHT BOX.

B- THE SECOND LIGHT BOX STUDY

SHOWED ME LIGHT CAN TRAVEL THROUGH LAYERS OF INFORMATIONS AND ENHANCES THE AMBIANT SIGNIFICANTLY. THE ENTRANCE OF THE HOUSE (MAIN FACADE) MIMICS THIS MOTION AND ALLOWES NATURAL SUNLIGHT TO SATURATE INTO THE LIVING ROOM.

C- THE THIRD LIGHT BOX STUDY

HELPED ME UNDERSTAND HOW TO OVERCOME THE LACK OF WINDOWS. THE CENTRAL COURTYAD ACS AS A LIGHT WELL FOR WHOLE HOUSE.
