LIVE,WORK,PLAY Architectural project

Idea projektu

The project brief stated that I should design a house and workplace for a South African professional in Midrand. Six professions were given for my own choice and I chose a Fine artist, Leonardo Drew. My client insisted that my design should be easy and comfortable for them to use, as well as make use of current technology. Needless to say, I would need to accommodate my client's specific ergonomic requirements. The focus is on creating a lifestyle that allows flexibility, entertainment, and work. The priority is centered on the personality and the specific requirements often related to their profession.

Popis projektu

As my client deals with objects and makes sculptures for his fine art, that was where my concept was derived from. I planned to make the layout of the building more sculptural and yet flexible with the interior spaces so that he can feel like he's at home and in a workplace. The given site was located next to a valley. That was an advantage for my client regarding getting ideas and inspirations to design a new sculpture every time he looks at the outside views.

LIVE,WORK,PLAY Architectural project

Good evening! I apologize for the long silence. the project is well thought out, except for the roof. we need to work on the pitched roof. the main parts of any building, from a one-story building to skyscrapers, are the lower part and the upper part. I thought of the lower part well, but the roof is not well thought out. since the author himself was not able to build a model of the roof. even on houses on a hill, I would have made a terrace and large windows. would use stone on the facade. if they sent me the source file I can draw you a roof.
