Cutting and creating boundaries with interior walls
These are sketched diagrams displaying different layouts inside the house and also the open and free movements people will have through the house when walls have been removed. After investigating transparent spaces, I thought that incorporating windows would be an important part of my design. I added colour to represent and 'transparent' elements, that of the windows, where heat will be transferred through. I have cut out several walls to open up the house, allowing for more communal areas. I wanted to combine the sun room, kitchen and living room into one floor space, and with the windows boarding the house, this area will gain a large amount of sunlight and heat.
Development of layout
I thought that adding an additional level would be appropriate so that there is more space for the occupants to interact with one another and also enjoy their own company. This level will hold all of the bedroom spaces and a bathroom. The sun's heat will not only enter through the glass panels, but also the heat entering the large living space downstairs will rise up through the ceiling and insulate this upper level.
Development of second layout
Extending the walls out may be an ideal option in terms of creating more space. I am also thinking of perhaps elevating the house on stilts to make it closer to the sun for more heat and light.
