EXP2.WK8 - DRAWINGS

• These are drawings that i have done for project 2.
• The first drawing is the elevation of the lake house. The line weight/thickness indicates the distance from the source. The thicker the line, the closer to the source, and the thinner the line, the further away.
• The second and third drawings are showing the front view and the back view of the lake house.

EXP2.WK8 - PROJECT DESCRIPTION

I have tried to keep my project/design as closely related to the ideas hidden in the painting as possible. Based on the painting, i have chosen 'sea' as my site. If you look at the painting that i have chosen for this project, you can see one section of the room, with the view of the sea through open door. From this, i have decided to create a structure, which can only be found near water/sea - LAKE HOUSE !!

The final design of the lake house possesses some charateristics of the sea. As the sea is associated with the idea of endless, limitless, and boundless, I have made the lake house, which is expanding/spreading towards the end of the building.

The balcony ares on both first and second floor is used as fishing site for the owner. He uses first floor balcony area for daytime fishing as he spends most of the daytime on first floor. And second floor balcony area for night-time fishing due to the fact that his bedroom is located on second floor.

The narrow openings on the eastern facade of the lake house let the light shine inside the area, to create a dynamic light effect in the morning. The large openings on the northern facade keep the whole area bright through the daytime. The use of openings and doors in this building plays a vital role for light effects to achieve the purpose of the design.

EXP2.WK8 - LIGHTING EFFECTS

I have played with different lightings to create dynamic effects within the space. The lighting effects play a very significant role in this lake house, as the owner is very sensitive to lighting.

The first image shows the lighting/shadow casting in the morning. Can you see how the opening on the eastern facade of the lake house casts a shadow over the bed on second floor? The light/shadow actually wakes the owner up in the morning.
The second image shows the natural lighting of the daytime. All areas of the lake house are bright in the day time.
The last image captures the shadow casting of the afternoon/night time. There are only few sources of light in the lake house, usually keeping the area in dark.

EXP2.WK8 - FINAL MODEL

EXP2.WK7 - IDEA DEVELOPMENT

These are the photos that i took when i went on a trip to melbourne. This house was actually located on the Great Ocean Road. It was built as a hovering house to keep away from bushfires. Based on the idea of a hovering structure, i am going to design a lake house which is hovering above the sea. I have specifically chosen sea/water as my site for project 2, to relate to the ideas based on the painting.
