This project was fairly simple, although it was my first project working with Revit, a design program. I loved this project, and so far, it seems to be the best expression of myself as compared to all of the learning work I've done before. I started with a basic courtyard house and then rearranged it into a design that I would love personally as opposed to a client's preferences. I've never been a big fan of central courtyards in a home so I pushed it to the edge of the house where it is still walled in, but can be open to the outdoors as well. It was, to me, a very unique idea. I'm not sure it's the best but it was fun to take the risk and try it!
A simple view from the kitchen to the outdoor courtyard.
Above are two pictures of the courtyard; one looking toward the kitchen/dining entrance and one looking toward the outdoor fireplace.
The first floor plan with labels.
The second floor plan without labels (sorry)! The wall on the right side of this plan is a glass wall that can fold the the sides of the room for an indoor/outdoor space.
And if you didn't understand what that room was in the second floor plan, it was this! A library full of glass shelves (unfortunately without books in this rendering). The whole point was to create a sort of space you could get lost in and then emerge into the outdoors. With a statement piece couch of course!
I really like the layout of everything and I think your floor plans look really crisp. I love the glass library idea! I hope to see more from you, your work is really inspiring. Please post more :)
