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.
