​"FLOWING"

GEOMETRIC STUDIES 

WITH THE USE OF LINE AND SHAPES SUCH AS CIRCLES, TRIANGLES, AND SQUARES I  MANIPULATED POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE SPACE TO  INTERPRET THE WORD FLOWING.

​

​SITE

THE NEXT STEP IS ARRANGING MY SITE
PLAN. THE FLOOR PLAN I DESIGNED IS
BUILT FOR THIS LOCATION IN MOUNT
VERNON, WASHINGTON. THIS HELPED
​ME CREATE THE FLOOR PLAN SINCE I TOOK INTO CONSIDERATION THE CLIMATE, SUN PATTERNS, VIEWS AND NATURE ON THIS SITE.

BUBBLE DIAGRAMS ​

STARTED TO PLAN OUT MY DESIGN.


​

FIRST FLOOR PLAN ​

FINISHED MY FIRST DRAFT. ​

PROCESS

GOT FEEDBACK FROM THE FIRST DRAFT AND STARTED PLANNING MY NEXT FLOOR PLAN.

​

FLOOR PLAN

THIS IS THE FINAL FLOOR PLAN. MY FIRST DRAFT DID NOT REPRESENT THE WORD "FLOWING" AS MUCH AS I WANTED IT TO. THIS LED ME TO  A HOUSE THAT INCORPORATES NATURE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE SINCE I ASSOCIATE IT IT WITH THE WORD. I ALSO HAD MANY RESTRICTIONS DUE TO THE SITE LOCATION. FOR EXAMPLE THE TREES AND CITY RESTRICTIONS WHICH DID NOT ALLOW ME TO BUILD IN A BIGGER AREA. 

ELEVATIONS

ONE OF MY BIGGEST DECISIONS WAS TO PUT IN A CAR PORT INSTEAD OF A GARAGE. SINCE THIS IS A TINY HOME I DID NOT WANT TO TAKE ATTENTION AWAY FROM IT.
FOR MY ELEVATIONS I DECIDED THAT STONE WOULD BE A BETTER CHOICE FOR THE EXTERIOR MATERIALS SINCE IT WOULD TIE WITH THE WORD "FLOWING" MORE. I ALSO DECIDED TO GIVE THIS HOUSE AS MUCH AS NATURAL LIGHT AS POSSIBLE TO FEEL AS IF YOU WERE OUTSIDE IN NATURE. ALSO INCLUDING MANY CURVED WALLS AND WINDOWS.

​MODEL

THIS MODEL REPRESENTS MY FINAL FLOOR PLAN, THIS HELPED ME SIGNIFICANTLY WHEN DESIGNING MY ELEVATIONS. THIS HOUSE REPRESENT "FLOWING", WHICH I PORTRAY AS NATURE IN ANY FORM, MORE SPECIFICALLY WATER AND CURRENT. THIS PORTFOLIO SHOWS THE ENTIRE PROCESS OF HOW I GOT TO THIS TINY HOME.
