Analysis of examplar house, original hand drawings.




Shows the decline involved in the entry which achieve the sheltered courtyard feel. Also highlights the decline into the house while revealing the gradual progression of stepping down through the residence.




Gives a better understanding of the earth works involved in the design, shows verticality of the design.





This level describes the living arrangements of bedding while it also highlight the play with stepping up and down into areas to give distinct borders between areas. The large windows from down stairs are replaced by vertical glass shutter to again increase views but also capture the breeze.






The lower level floor plan allow you to see the full dynamic interplay with the stepping down and stepping up into areas, giving distinct borders between areas. From this it shows the use of the large sliding doors and vertical louver windows provide cross ventilation, improves the framing of the external scena, allows for the boundaries between inside and out to be blurred while it also allows the coastal environment to be embraced within the house.


The exemplar technical drawings have been reproduced to the best of my ability from original drawings done by Wilson Architects.
