Project Brief
Without the teachings our family has passed down to us, society would be in turmoil and disarray.
Family is also the first thing you enter into and you never leave until death though one could argue that death is not the end.
In this project I hope to create a house (and home) to accommodate the funny and witty character who will fill the it with happy
memories.

Construction:
Family of 4
12x12m square with 12x12m garden (total land space 288sqm)
Height max 3 floors (total height not exceeding 9m)
Masonry or concrete (loadbearing elements) with use of steel framework
Summary:
This project I will explore what makes a home and how can I design not for myself but rather for and on behalf the client. This
project I will explore how to design in accordance to the client needs and requirements whilst adding my own character into the
project.
Daily Schedule
Client: Family
The clients I have created is fictional (however plausible) where by the family is a collaboration of interesting
characters (some are based on real characters):

Construction Methods

A good architect controls every element even down to the choices of materials,
custom bespoke hardware and furniture.
Controlling every element of the building down to the choice of material allows the architects character to come through and express
every joints and lines.
By adding character, the building becomes a custom fit suit for the client; no two buildings should be ever the same.
Due to the nature of the building, I will have to custom design every aspect as the angles make any normal furniture
difficult to install. Furthermore controlling the choice of material will give a personal touch/character to the project.

Openings: Doors
Internal doors
Most internal doors are hinged however for some space
concerning places, sliding doors allows for opening without
the requirement for the door swing.
Bi-folding doors
Allows maximum light and ventilation in and allows access into other spaces.
When needed, doors can be closed to create barrier to outside world.
31
Openings: Windows
Roof/Sky lights
Light from these openings let in 60-65% more light than
conventional windows. This is due to how light interacts
with angle of the surfaces.
Normal windows
The use of windows is twofold: allows light in and can be
opened for ventilation.
Most of these types of windows are located in bathrooms
or anywhere that require ventilation as well as natural
light.

Show me. Dont tell me. Let your work speak for itself.
Visual Aids
Humans are visual creatures who find it quicker and easier to understand something when it is in a visual format rather than text.
Understanding this is the core of architecture: to communicate the ideas to others.
Sometimes having images describes and communicates the idea across more efficiently than conventional paragraphs
of text.
In this section there are images with annotations to help express my ideas more efficiently than just words.
