Assignment 3 drafts
Through discussions and numerous tips and helpful notes from Yoshihito Kawashiwagi, i have developed my first few schemes and ideas of my building. The first drafting i did, which was terrible in its scheme of representing a relationship between clients/building/garden, i have developed it in to centrally focusing the garden/courtyard, with a void above. The use of the void, which was a suggestion from Yoshihito i thought was perfect, as the space allocated for the students to design was bombarded with units on each sides of the building, allowing natural light to be illuminated through the front and back of the house. Even still, due to the sun's movement during the day, most of the sunlight wouldn't be focused thoroughly through the front and back entrances, which left much needed space for natural lighting. Through the use of void the space that were discouraged from natural lighting were fulfilled.
In developing my drafts, the sides of the courtyard in which the stairs were normally allocated were dispatched, as it created a narrow corrider along the sides, allowing it hard for viewers to view an artwork (Art showcase located between the corridors). In removing the stairs from the side, and allocating them towards the front and back, it created the needed space between the corridors for the viewers to enjoy and understand an artwork.

Circulation and Landscape studies
The circulation of the house is explored through first-person, where the player interacts with the building, and explores the routes consisting inside the Bordeux House. The player also interacts with the elevator in which goes up to the second storey. As such, it is seen that the second floor of the Bordeux House is divided into two-parts, and the elevator is accessible by the adults in which lies in their part of the second floor, as the man is disabled. The childen part of the second floor is mainly accessible through flights of stairs, in which specifically are the circular stairways.
The relationship between house and garden is also explored through the video, in which contours of the landscape surrounding the Bordeux House is seen, in which the ground floor of the Bordeux House is engulfed by the surrounding landscape and starts to deteriorate towards the front of the Bordeux House. As in the video, it signifies the relationship between the house and garden, as the house is also almost seen to be floating, as the front half of the house is floating and the back half of the house is engulfed by the surrounding garden.
Relationship between house and garden
Aerial view of the landscape and the bordeux house, emphasising the contours existing in the surrounding environment, as well as nature itself, with the house surrounded by numerous trees. It evokes the relationship between house and garden, and illustrates that the garden is dominant of the house.
View from the balcony of the second floor shows the relationship between house and garden, and the existing environment surrounding the house. Again shows the contours of the environment.
Front view of the Bordeux House, showing the 'floating' notion of the front half of the house, and the notion of 'engulfment' of the back half of the house.
Back view of the Bordeux House, showing that the landscape and the first floor of the house is level.
Side view of the house illustrating the contours of the surrounding environment.
Front view of the house emphasising the feeling of levitation of the Bordeux House.
Back view of the house in daylight.
View from the first floor of the house.
View from the first floor of the house.
View from the circular windows of the house located in the second floor, depicting the relationship between garden and house, and shows how natural light is struck, forming interesting natural lights in the house.Public and Private spaces in the Bordeaux House
Rem Koolhas has represented the Bordeux House as a house as a container, in which contains three floors, the first two floors being almost invisible and revealing to the outside whereas the top floor is almost covered with 'heavy' textures. Private and public spaces have been distinguished through colour coding in Sketchup. Blue represents public space and red represents private spaces. Through these colour codings it can be also seen there are verical containers in the Bordeaux House representing private/public space, such as the elevator shaft in which contains a skylight and the spiral staircase.
The first image shows the ground floor. The ground floor is a public space, and is significant as it is where the driveway is located in. The ground floor consists of a kitchen, tv room, the base of the elevator and a private space for guests. The ground floor is dominantly a public space in the Bordeux House.
The image shows the first floor of the Bordeux House, which similarily to the ground floor, is dominantly a public space, as the surrounding of the building is covered by windows, almost appearing to be 'invisible'. The first floor is used as communal and public areas throughout the house.
The second floor, in contrast to the ground and first floor, is dominantly a private space, as it is where both the parent and children's bedroom lies. Through the use of bold materials, it distinguishes the private space of the second floor. Public spaces can be found on the second floor where the balconies lie, and also the gap between the parent and children's room.
The roof of the house shows that public spaces lie between the parent and children's room, as well as where the elevator lie, in which the elevator shaft has a skylight at the top for the husband who is wheelchair bound.
