After our Domus critic, we decided to harness all our feedback in order to optimise our design. We aimed to make our house appear more unified. To do this, we created a more circular decking which swept between the permanent and temporary residential areas. Furthermore, we decided to inverse our central roof, which we placed over our re-designed communinal living area/kitchen. This area was now properly shaded by a adjustable screen, which followed the circular rim. We then replicated the shading lourves which were previously just on the permanent resident side for the temporary residence as well, lowering the hierarchy.
The western shade wall was removed and lourves were placed all along this side of the temporary residents to ensure it was properly shaded (proved by the shading diagrams). To signal an entry, we emulated the circle that the deck was creating via a rammed earth, scultural wall, which was enhanced with local shrubbery. Here are some images demonstrating the changes.
