The story of my hexagon design

How the hexagon shape comes out 

The Hexagon shape comes from the traditional house roof in Kenmore. But it is not just one shape I have picked up.

The First thing that I considered was the size. As required, the total areas of the house should be no more than 200m2.

There are two trees on the site, and I want to keep it. And as a consequence of that the west view is the best so I desided to make the bedrooms to face the west. I rotated the whole house for 60 degrees.

The light in Scotland seems never enough, therrefore I tried to invite more light for my house. The hexagon shape I saw at Kenmore came to my mind when I looking at the drawing. I moved it more southwest for getting a park place and increasing the connection with water and the small beach which is on the west side.Then for keeping the noise away I placed the living room on the top. The adding of short walls around the trees created a garden.
