Vertical HomeFor my vertical home, I decided to design for five college students of various ages and various studies. Each floor is dedicated to one of the college students and their hobby/passion. Each floor has the public space on the left and private space on the right. Then the two spaces are divided with a straight back stair with a glass undulating wall for a railing. In the public space on the left, it is designed to reflect the student's hobby. I hope this vertical home is able to bring this very different group of students together while allowing them to have their own uniquely designed floor.
Sectional HomeFor my sectional home, I designed for a family that also was passionate about butterflies and incorporating them into their house safely. The volume is created by two horizontal forms stacked perpendicularly. In the space in-between a butterfly mesh cage connects the volumes. Sectionally you can see how the mesh butterfly cage interacts with the structure and adds to the elevation. This house is meant to bring together humans and insects while keeping their needs for the best living environment in mind.
