Main Street Infill Project Documentation

For my Infill project, I choose to make the building i created revolve around water. As I enjoy aquatic life, i decided to make my Client an aquarium owner. The store is on the first floor. and it is mostly comprised of the tanks themselves. Housing salt-water life, the aquarium serves as a place for families who are in the mood for seeing many exotic and diverse types of life. Upon entering the aquarium, the viewer is immediately surrounded by water giving them the feeling of being underwater with the fish themselves. With the maze-like type of floor plan, the viewers will always see new and interesting life with each turn.

Nine-Square Grid House Designs

Nine-Square Grid House Design

Our objectives on this project were to create a house that was based off of the nine-square grid, that also incorporated Le Corbusier's 5-points of architecture.
In my design I used 3 of these points:

Piloti
Open Facade
Horizontal window
Open floor plan

We were tasked with creating our own very weird client. My client was a family of 4. Mother, father, and two sons. The Mother works as a nurse, and collects dolls. and has two pet tarantulas, she is afraid of wild life besides these spiders. The father is afraid of dolls ( Pediophobia), which causes the two parents to sleep in two separate rooms. He is a hunter and he mounts the busts of the animals he kills. Deers, Moose, bears, ect. The oldest son has arachnophobia, so he spends his time trying to get away from his mother, who seems to be trying to tear the family apart by using their fears to make them go crazy. The oldest son is the normal one as he is involved in his studies and works hard at school. The youngest son is around 8, so he isn't fully aware of the conflict that is going on in the house, but he wants to be with his brother, so their rooms are separated from the parents and to the back of the lot. This is my client, although weird and dysfunctional, they still find a way to live together.

This slideshow above shows the preliminary sketches of the floor plan to the final computer generated floor plans and elevaitons made in Revit.
