Residential Housing (In progress)
Objective
This was a simple assignment that was given to us in class. The requirements for this assignment were a two-story house with 3-4 bedrooms, patio, kitchen, garage, site plan, and bathroom. Needed to have sheets for every elevation, section, site, and cover utilizing our own customized title blocks.
Checkpoint 1
Design Concept
When designing the concepts of the building, I took inspiration from many types of residential architecture that I have either seen or lived in. Due to my family's situation, I have moved from house to house in my home county, so I have experienced many types of residential architecture throughout my life. When developing the model, I started thinking about what made a house a house for a family of four and thought of the components suburban houses have.
I outlined the house to show a separation between community and individualism. The first level (Figure 1) is for the community of the house to be seen as a place to share and grow as a family. The second level is designed for individualism in the house.
Checkpoint 2
Sheets and dimensions
While developing the sheets, I learned how to format and place models on the sheets to identify what is needed for the house correctly. While dimensioning the model, I came to the conclusion that the house needed to be at a set scale to make sure that the house did not have too much space, because space is normally seen as bad space, from what I have realized. Every sheet is utilized to its full extent to understand the model. One part I did learn from this is that Architects do not typically create a light plan, but I did it anyway because I was enjoying creating the sheets and wanted to do more for my own knowledge. In the rendering done in Revit, it showcases the fundamental components I wanted to highlight.
