FIRST FLOOR
GROUND FLOOR
BASEMENTThe first part of the project was to draw plans of each floor at 1:100
The next step was to build a volumetric model at 1:100, replicating the house and demonstrating the different types of spaces. We made this by measuring the dimensions of each space and cutting it out in cardboard, then wrapping each room in the appropriate colour with tissue paper.
Red = Public External Space Blue = Public Internal Space
Green = Circulation
Yellow = Private Internal Space
Orange = Private External Space
This model was followed by a circulation model, to show the main routes taken throughout the house. The overall result wasn't as successful as the idea we had in our head and we decided in future it would be more effective to build the model with perspex on the outside of the cardboard pathways.
Hard at work drawing up a site section and western elevation of our house at 1:50 scale.
Building the circulation model caused us to think about how the building stands and where the load-bearing walls were located. We understood this to be a fundamental part of the building as the focus is on structure to allow for the cantilevering floors.
Hence we built a 1:50 structural model through a section of the house to emphasise load-bearing walls.
Our final model was an analytical one which greatly heightened our understanding of the buiding in terms of space and scale. We built this at 1:100 and built a contour model at the same scale to fit witht this. The overall effect characterises the building quite 
well.
