More thoughts

After speaking with Sean in Studio today my design has progressed into something with more depth and substance. Instead of having the wall weave around the houses as a superfluous element it should weave about the site, where it informs the territories of the houses.

  • Interaction between the weaves and the houses.
  • The wall can unravel in places to create openings.
  • Perhaps at certain points the weave folds to create a
ceiling plane as well.


The wall can change thickness and height, it can bend and curve subtly and abruptly. Providing places to sit perhaps or places to lean...



By doing this I have reversed the design process i.e. design the weaved element first and let it inform the houses. This will create interesting floor plans but what about sections and elevations?
