Architecture AD 1.2
Project; Artistic Dwelling
Site choice; Characteristic of Jonathan`s work is a seemingly weightless creation sculpted from high density natural stone. I have hoped to replicate this in my design, which should be facilitated through using a steep hillside as my site choice.

Jonathan Loxley
“For me the stone is a mirror, a nebulous void that searches to see what it can make of me, and therefore carves its shape and meaning from my own void”
Natural Stone “Perfect material for dreaming” - holds no predefined shapes - no previous human intervention
Positive + negative Textured + Smoothed One Form or Two Forms
Void / Vortex / Portal The voids encourage the viewer to consider the possibility that it not only physically links to the other side of the work, but to a world beyond
