Research Retreat Brief process

After 6 weeks developing the researchretreat project is finally ended with the final presentation. To think these one and a half mouth now my design process could be divided into four stages.

At first I got the idea of sundial from my intangible therefore I want to use the changes of shadow to show a feeling time changing. Therefore I focus on the two trees which stand in the middle of the site.

Then in the precidence study I was inspired by the Split house displyed above. As you can see the architect of Split house divided the house into public wing and private wing. After analysis the site I combine this idea with the site and with help of  my research of light I designed the house like the picture underneath.

On the one hand the site is roughly divided into three parts by two buiding. Firstly the soluth part is a public area, secondly the circle in the middle is a cout yard which is half public, and thirdly is the north part which is a private zone.On the other hand, the itself has also be defined as gallery  wing for publice the other is private wing. The private wing is hide behind the two trees to get privacy and the felling of retreat. But the studio is not totally private as I want to keep the studio can be visit by the others I make a glass wall in frount.

After the interpresentation tutors sugestted me to invite stright line into the design and open the entrance of cout yard to think nore of the whole site. Therefore after chang it over and over again, I choose the one which function works the best.
