Alin Geevarghese Anil: Architectural Design I

Tiny Spaces for Architects

In September 2021, we were assigned to create a tiny house. So to get a design point of view. Our Instructors assigned us a word that will design inspiration throughout our design phases. The word that I was assigned was DRAMATIC

After that, we had to do some research on some places that we would like to build our tiny home. The Place that I chose was Austin, Texas. The reason I chose that place is I want a place that has a lot of greenery and also a bit of urban life too. So Austin is also known as Green City. After we were asked to research pm the wind pattern

Site Analysis

The Picture Above shows the Site analysis which contains the position of Sunrise and Sunset and wind patterns during the summer and winter. This helps us to analyze an optimal position for the house

This is the initial stage of the thought process. Scrabbling ideas and inspiration from different sources. From the bubble diagram to the Floor Plan.

Now we had an idea how our floor Plan looks like. After that, we had to bring that floor plan to an elevation perspective on a 1/8" scale

This is the 3d model created for my house. The main goal for my house is to create an open floorplan with a lot of windows and glass doors. To create a blend with the nature and interior and also to create a touch of suspense inside to create a Dramatic effect.

This floor plan has changed a bit from the original one. After assessment from the Jury panel, we had during our midterms presentation and my fellow Architecture instructor helped to think through the practicality of this floor plan so I did a few tweaks by the kitchen and Garage by moving around the garage door and getting rid of the secondary kitchen door

This is the Final Elevation for my house. Created lot of Geometrical window on the north side wrapping wrapping to the west side. This creates a unique view from the house.

This is the most recent AutoCAD floor plan with the most accurate dimensions. The key important design element is the windows which emphasis the nature around the house.

This is the final AutoCAD Elevations for plan. On the North Elevation Vertical Line represents metal paneling with creates a modern look to the house.

This is the Final Model made out of Museum Board. The Elevated rooms created a open feel to the house. As this house is less than 750 sq. ft. This truly elevates the house.
