SIGNIFICANT ADJACENT LANDSCAPES:

PROJECT THREE - DOUBLE HOUSE - CONCEPT 1

Aerial View
West Elevation
East Elevation

COMMENTS: This 1st concept was strongly linked to Project Two - Conceptual Proposal: Public, Private and Landscape elements with each house as separate entities and landscape linking the 2 built elements horizontally and vertically. It was abandoned in favour of a single built element with the landscape areas integrated into the overall volume.

COMPARING ENTRIES OF 5 PRECEDENT STUDIES

Villa Muller 1928-1930 - Discreet facade presence; Small and enclosed space with no visible access to spaces beyond





Villa Savoye 1929-1931 - Open facade presence; Grand and Visible Entry

Villa Mairea 1937-1939 - Discreet facade presence; however once in the entry the space is textually rich and opens up to inter-connecting spaces

Siza House 1976 - 1978 - Discreet facade presence, Confined entry with narrow physical and visible access to interconnecting.

Maison Bordeaux 1995-1998- Driveway entry presents discreet facade presence, however from driveway and entry have a somewhat seemless relationship with the glazed facade incidental. The entry itself is open to interconnecting spaces more akin to Villa Savoye than the other precedent studies.
