Above: When i chose the site i kept in mind both the available objects and the busy nature of the atrium; I found drawing a diagram of the circulation of the site fairly unhelpful as it stated the obvious. The spatial organization chart worked well though, as clearly circling the spaces showed how they related to one another.
Above: The key issues I encountered were mainly with privacy and effective use of the 130 bricks. During this concept sketch work I discovered that the encapsulation of the seat with a box corner, sealed of with a small curve made for the most interesting and efficient use of space. The other handy aspect to this particular design was that it allowed the plywood to be cut into lengths (perfectly, if i may say so myself!!) so that they could act as both the sliding sunroof (for privacy) and desktop....for all the study i would...ahem....do there
These sections and elevations were drawn up in relation to my lanky (6'6") proportions, and show how i could eat, sleep and work within the site, using the existing atrium bench as my bed.
To be perfectly honest, i drew this perspective by hand, which i believe adds character. It helped to relieve any obvious confusion i aroused as to how the 'sunroof' would actually work (sliding along grooves cut in the bricks). It also shows how the 'stepped,' curving wall would look.
