Final Parti diagrams

Final Parti diagrams

No. 1

• Stair/ chimney duality
• Non-Circulation space 1st floor
• Non-Circulation space 2nd floor

The chimney and the main stair have an important relationship where they struggle for the central position in the plan. Both are compromised in their own way in order to maintain this strange and precarious duality.

Instead of showing the circulation space in my parti I decided to shade in the living and service spaces. This is because circulation space was purposely reduced by Venturi.


No. 2

• Symmetry Vs Asymmetry
• Layered space
• External screen

In the first diagram I have tried to consider the Symmetry of the front facade which contradicts the internal layout of the house. Even the windows are balanced in number thought not symmetrically placed.

The plan of the house is horizontally layered and most of the openings and spaces inside result form the layered relationship between the horizontally placed walls.

The external walls which deceivingly hide the complex internal layout and geometry act as external screens.

No. 3 - The stair
