Trial Design of the house

'Spaceship' roof sketches

During the week I try to research appropriate roof for the house, I am trying to adopt the shape of the spaceship for the roof. Even it seems ridiculous, but i got inspiration from those sketches. I try to adopt the idea which i got during the last studio.

These are some images of my trial model from Google Sketchup :

Design Concept

During last studio, I am try to make the concept design of the house for my client. Actually, Wesley helping me with the design concept. The basic concept of mine for my client is about huge roof. Most of Prix (Coop Himmelb(l)au) building used 'roof" as the main area of the building or making the roof extremely overlaying the lower part. These two buildings are my inspiration of this idea.

Busan Cinema Center by Coop Himmelb(l)au; http://www.styleofdesign.com/architecture/busan-cinema-center-coop-himmelblau/

Confluence Museum by Coop Himmelb(l)au; http://designyoutrust.com/architecture/confluence-museum-by-coop-himmelblau-under-construction/

Furthermore, Wesley try to helping me to develop my idea. He got an idea about 'box overlay by tissue' it was like the folding exercise. So the idea is about the roof which overlay the 'box' (house) smoothly, hence we got two extremely different shape combined together but quite smoothly.

Another idea is about 'space crash'. So in the first idea is all about smooth and in the second idea is all about hard and extreme. The basic concept is about the spacecraft which collapse in the air and suddenly crash down to the house (box). So the idea is about combining two extremely different shape which are primitive shape such as box as the house and astonish shape like spacecraft as the roof. However, in this idea the 'roof' will act as the second floor of the house.

Design Concept

Furthermore, during spare time I am doing some research about the material for the house and I got two interesting material which I might be used. The first one is Corten material, it is a weathering steel, steel which is fast to rust and give some kind of rusty colour. Another one is wall panelling using white colour wood.

 Site Analysis

Site Analysis Drawing based on Survey

On Saturday afternoon, 5th October 2013 I am doing site inspection to the client site (house) (5 Wyargine St, Mosman). The wind was very smooth when I visited that site (approximately 1 km/hr - 5 km/hr) and come from the sea, so it facing or toward the house. The sun was rising from the sea, so the house will get a morning sunshine. The first floor of the house was around 2m rise from the street, the reason behind that might be to get better view of the sea from the house. When I come to the site, I was surprised by the house on that site, it's different with the one that I look at the Google Map, the existing house now look strong and beautiful. Moreover, this house also located near the Edwards beach (just approximately 70m) due to that this house got really an amazing view. This house was located in 50km/hr zone, and have 4 bus stop near the house, however, those bus stop do not operate on Saturday and Sunday. It just took 3-4 minutes (by car) to the main road (Millitary Rd) and took around 15 mins- 20 mins (by car) to the Sydney CBD. Furthermore, Beside this sketch drawing I also have some images taken from the site to show the actual house, the views from the house etc. On the Sketch drawing, I put number 1 until 7 (in box) to show the location where I took those pictures. These are the pictures that I already took from the site :

(box) 1 - The house on the site

(box) 2 - The pathway down to the Balmoral Beach (~30m) it just took araound 40m to get to this path from the site

(box) 3 - The house on the site taken from the front neighbor house

(box) 4 - The North East View from the site

(box) 5 - Try to capture the site from Burran Ave, the brown wall house is number 7 (beside the site)

(box) 6 - The view of Edwards beach from the wyargine lookout (near bus stop)

(box) 7 - The South East view from the site

Design Style 

In the beginning around 1973, the architectural designs produced by Coop Himmelb(l)au [Wolf D. Prix] are pneumatic spatial constructs. Furthermore, come to the 1980s, Coop Himmelb(l)au [Wolf D. Prix] came to be a leading exponent of Deconstructivism in architecture since their projects notably represented fragmentary and redefined structures. Furthermore, Wolf D. Prix also stated that architect as a single genius is over, he think the architects nowadays need to learn how to communicate and work in a team, that is the way of Coop Himmelb(l)au design and work in the office.

Personality

Wolf D. Prix got a really strong concept of his design. He like to work as a team rather than a single genius.  He also highly regarded as both an academic and practitioner, Wolf D. Prix is an architect's architect. He like to employed advances in technology to create spaces that challenge tradition and convention. His projects represent an embrace of imbalance, disquiet, distortion, fragmentation and chaos

Famous quotation : "Architecture Must Burn!" a manifesto which extolled the virtues of an architecture "that bleeds, exhausts, that turns and even breaks"

Advice for the young : If you think in architectural terms, only architecture will come out
                                  "don't follow leaders, watch the parking meters"
                                  you don't need the weatherman to know how the wind blows

Part 2 : Wolf D. Prix [Coop Himmelb(l)au] Brief

Room List (minimum requirement)

• 1 Master Bedroom (min 20sqm) with ensuite
• 1 Children Bedrooms
• Studio room or Home office (min 15sqm)
• Private Living Room
• Dining Room
• Kitchen
• Laundry
• Housemaid room
• Car Garage (min for 2 cars)

Reasons

Why I did not include guest room or guest toilet?

In my opinion, according to his style and his hectic activity, he do not want a guest to come to his own personal house. Friends especially clients should come to his office to meet him.

Studio Room or Home office?

Wolf D. Prix like to do his job in his office (outside the house). So this room will act as his storage room to keep important file projects or maybe some important books.

Private Living Room?

He need to have a private living room to relaxed his body and his mind from his business. The living room should be very comfortable and relaxing. It might be a good consideration to have fireplace in the living room with a luxury music player in the living room.

Housemaid Room?

He need to have maybe more than one housemaid to look after his house and maybe the important think he need to have a personal chef to provide him with good and healthy food.

So basically, in my opinion Wolf D. Prix needs a very comfy and luxury house because he is so busy with his life outside the house. Furthermore, there is no need to paint the wall for the house because he loved to use the colour of the material especially 'silver'.
