Initial design #1 for the 'Eco-home' project. Curved frontage creates an air of grandeur, looming over upon entrance, it could also create some interesting internal living spaces.
Initial design #2 for the 'Eco-home' project. At this stage i was focusing on using abstract shapes to create a visually engaging structural design.
Initial design #3 for the 'Eco-home' project. From an aesthetic level, this design is my favorite of all, its curved transition between roof and frontage reminds me of the work of the 'Memphis Group' and post-modernism.
Initial design #4 for the 'Eco-home' project. This development of a 'child's 2d drawing' of a house, plays with the idea of what a house actually is. Is it merely a space where a person lives or is it an expression of the occupants personality.
Development design #1 for the 'Eco-home' project. Inspired by the simplicity, the eye for detail and 'clean-cut' thinking from Bauhaus.
