Motion in Form - A Kinetic Racing-Inspired Weekend Cottage

Project idea

A weekend cottage whose architectural form is derived from the aerodynamic principles and kinetic energy of racing cars, translating automotive design language into residential architecture.

Project description

The concept sheet presents a weekend cottage inspired by racing car aesthetics and dynamics. The user analysis identifies a client who needs a balance of relaxation and adrenaline, loves speed, control, and precision. The design approach emphasizes open spaces, visual connectivity, and modern aesthetics. Key design principles include aerodynamics, continuity, flow, movement, adaptability, freedom, and motion. The form development process abstracts a sports car's silhouette through progressive simplification into an architectural form. The bubble diagram organizes spaces including garage, kitchen and dining, living area, and outdoor deck landscape.
