Through space association planning I gathered the essence of this space which highlights each other the three main spaces as individual assets to create a whole.
I need to provide the researchers seclusion, safety, and access to each space, similarly to how the animals and plants are treated on site. My main design words guiding my project are: - Dynamic - Movement - Protective - Un-invasive Every design decision will focus on creating a space that is formed through the collaboration of the surroundings and these design concepts.

After researching the vernacular architecture of the location I was pressed to inject a playful spirit into the space of the house. Breaking the space based on public/ private or group/ individual activity. Below are some experimental space associations. Figuring out the function of the space aided in choosing which association to focus on. Since this space is dedicated to the research and downtime of the two scientists the space would better be associated around the separation of the lab, sleeping and living spaces. In order to secure privacy and enhance focus for the research the lab must be physically separated from the other parts of the house. Also, to accommodate different work schedules, the relaxation/ dining space must be separated from the sleeping area.
Through this thinking I came to my floor plan layout. |
