Task 2 Architectural Proposal

For my proposal I have developed a small SketchUp Model, the model for my final assessment will be a physical model, but for the proposal I thought it would be easier to explain my ideas through a 3D Model in SketchUp.


The model consists of four main living spaces, the private area (lower floor), the dining area (middle floor), the garden (middle floor) and the public space (upper level). My idea of creating separate spaces like these came in my developing understanding of the Villa Mairea and the segregation and balance of public and private space within the building. As seen in the model below the private and public spaces are two completely different spaces, both having individual entrances to represent the segregation within the building.


The landscape in my example is going to be a hill, whereby the public space is situated atop the hill and the public space at the base of the hillside. this enables the public space to have a complete 360 degree view of the surrounding landscape and as all walls will be transparent enables this to occur. The hill in my example represents the ridge the Villa Mairea is situated on that segregates the public and private spaces.
