Thoughts

I think the project is about the four houses but more than that; the interaction and connection the houses share. They share the same spaces - how well does this happen, does it benefit all occupants? There are so many possibilities of placing the four houses on the site - the first method that comes to mind is how many different ways can you divide the site into four equal/unequal spaces. We are not only dealing with the 2d plane but 3d plane as well.

This is a Sketchup design combining parts of each concept from the previous assignment. I created four angular volumes and wished for them to engage with the site and also each other. I see a weave as something that binds elements together that's why a weaved wall surrounds the perimeter of the four houses. I realise this is not resolved but it's a start!!




Perhaps the four buildings could weave together and the nature is weaved between them. And garages/technique are included in each house design. i.e only some elements would weave. would the space left over be communal space? So many things to consider...
