Project 3 Drawing

Double House Garden Drawing


Floor plan of the houses and garden


Site plan of the houses


Sectional drawing and perspective of the garden


The precedent study of the house is Villa Savoye by Le Corbusier. The idea that was taken from the Villa is the isolation and white box. These idea is then modified into a new concept, that is to create a house from a box and cut the middle part in irregular shape with the garden surrounded by the building. These irregular shape in the middle allow public to access it so they can go through to the isolated garden on the back of the house. The gallery also located in the basement with access from the side of the garden. From the front of the house, people could see a little view of the garden through the gap of the irregular wall of both houses. At the back, there are also public space where people could relax and sit around. The private part of the house mostly located at the front, as going through the back, it feels more public. The storage and the office is located under the garden. The storage is adjacent to both large and small gallery to allow artwork to be moved around easily.

The model shows the plan of the house in 3D and the wall element in each houses. Within each house, the rooms are located similarly and one house are like a mirror version of the other house. The main focus of the house is the complex geometry at the center and the shape of the space inside the house. The path in the center make people experience as they walk through between the house. At the back of the site, there are path to the upper public space and to lower gallery. From the back, people could see some of the interior of both house which is the dining area. These dining area, at some extent, could become a small gallery.

In this sectional model, the condition of the house could be visualize. The interior space could be seen with some furniture on the house. Bedroom and bathroom for the inhabitant located on the 1st floor. The sectional model shows the relationship between the houses. It is again similar with the other house.

View of the two level of the model

The proposition is focused on the roof garden like Villa Savoye and try to separate the space for public and private. The ground floor has two semi private space separate from each other and has ramp each. The roof of the ground floor will be a garden and the box in the middle of 1st floor will be a private space.

2nd Level Diagram of Exterior Wall

The thin wall on the front used for wind break and has a little opening that allow people to see the landscape when they reach the 2nd floor from the ramp.

1st level Diagram of the Exterior Wall

The diagram show that the exterior wall of the villa is clean and crisp without any line, but the interior has many gaps. It is for the interior wall and the column to intersect with the exterior. The opening of the 4 side allow people to see the landscape, and these opening has same proportion each opposite.
Ground Level Diagram of the Exterior Wall

The diagram show the form of the ground level has curve shape for car to turn around with basis of 'machine for living'. The proportion and the length of the thin and thick is almost the same.

Color Drawing

The study is focused on the color used in the villa. There are two main color that Le Corbusier developed at that time. For the interior, the light pink and light blue was used to bring the relaxing atmosphere and comfortable feeling. The darker color is for the accent inside the villa. For the exterior, the white represent modernism at that time and the green use to blend with the landscape.
