Inspiration

In this last week I'm doing a lot of reserch to explain and develop my propose for the familiy house.After a lot of hand drawings and model making I'm quite sure about the functions and I'm starting to rotate and play with the shape that it is going to take on order to catch the best sunlight and most beautiful views. This, obviously, without cutting any tree but trying to make the most of their presence and make the house involve in the nature atmosphere. This kind of approach is very similar to the project for a house in Spain by NO.MAD architecture studio.

The form of the house tries to follow the layout of the forest taking care of not touching them. So the plan consists in a number of "fingers" through the trees. Even through the use of windows in different positions and with different shapes they try to make the most of this site, making the forest come inside the house. I really like this aspect of the project and, despite the layout of the forest is not similar to this one, I'm trying to do the same in order to have a link and a sort of dialogue with the surrounding landscape. Another difference of approach with this project is that I'm trying to develop the form of the plan according to the sun path and the most beautiful views from the site. In fact there aren't as many trees as in this project and the site has a long shape, not very good to develop the house since there are so many factors to keep in mind.





As you can see in the picture just above, the trees literally come in the house atmosphere and, through an accurate attention for locating windows and a precise choice for the colour inside the house, within it you are completely involved from what surrounds you. For what concerns the picture below, I realized that I'm going to obtain almost the same effect of a double perspective view. In my case, this happens coming inside the house, from the main entrance. This because I'm trying to locate at least each window in front of the singular entrance of each room. This kind expedient help to perceive the space in a different way, not like a box but like something open. This is possible just using the sun light and in a site like this, in which there isn't so much sun light, this expedient in much more important. Coming back to the issue about the entrence in my house, this splitting of view creates a very interesting situation. It's just up to me developing it in the best way.
