Luis Garza: Architectural Design I

Project 01: Rural Farmhouse

In this project we were presented with one kind of house and then we were asked by a client to change it and meet his expectations without changing the natural features of the original house.
​In this project personally for the house I was just trying to make it so that when you looked at the house thought that it was really something different and more modern than the original home.
Picture

Existing House: "I"-type house

In this project I started with the "I" type-house and from there I started making the first sketches but also considering that I had to keep the nature of the original house. One of the things that I learned about this home is that its most important features are that its two stories and has two chimneys. So to make a modern home that was different but still keeping the nature, I had to keep the two chimneys and make it a two story home. The existing house also had already a lot of space compared to the others but still wasn't enough for the expectations of rooms that the client had.

Design Development

This shows my first sketch of the main idea of the addition. Which was, having a window cutting through the whole house and letting natural light also pass through. This also shows the study model which showed me that the roof kind of looked a little boring and did not look innovative.

Final Models and Drawings

This shows the final decisions I made about the additions of the new home. The main idea is still there and I think is well added since it still respects the nature of the home. When I made the roof I remembered that it still needed changes to make it look better so I changed it for the roof to follow the curve of the window. This was one of the principal changes from the first sketches to the final ones, along with the new modifications of the arrangement of the rooms.
