Inspiration...

I am inspired by Kengo kuma's ability to create a calming space using open spaces that frame nature, patterns and light add interest to these spaces so they are notbeing held up by the background alone and also making them simple but visually stimulating without the surroundings to draw you in...

model concept 2

I feel i have not reached the end of my concept exploration...

My final design outcome is of an older modernist style with lots more room than originally intended for the client he is happy with the style being this way and the use of an aArchitectural steel Latice along the side, i will continue to explore in hope that i will convince my character of a more simple yet more elegant design.

model concept1

I continued to explore the concept of the pipe or latice travelling through the building and continuing to the outside skin. In becoming more modernist i explored the idea of boxing all the units in to one overall unit that contains each seperate element but is seen as one to the outside viewer with a seemingly simplier design than the first one.

sketch up concept 2

I completed what seems a very basic first concept, There was not to much to the design but the client loved the path that the roof gutter traveled in, even though not seen by many outsiders i decided to explore this further, with the twisting and turning of pipe like features. The ideas seemed to be going in a very modernist direction with the units or blocks becoming very dominant, the introduction of some curves seemed to eliminate some of this but then seemed to add an element of Art Deco/ Modern Art Deco, the client seemed to like this movement as he was always inspired from these periods in time as they highly influenced his Architectural elements through the years growing up in the 50's and 60's where modernism was the great Architecture of the time.
