Second round of sketches
Submitted by Yael on Tue, 06/30/2009 - 14:26
We made a second round of sketches based on the feedback we got on the last conference calls.
Here we have 4 options in which the basic shape and external shell are almost the same - a 1400 Sqft eye-shape house, with the stepped down spiritual core and the pop-up window on top (clerestory), the garage is detached with the overhang roof connecting it to the house. The main entry is from the south-west and the back entry, from the garage, is from the north.
Nevertheless, the interior layout, the arangment of the rooms, the bathrooms, the kitchen etc are a bit different in each option.
We will be happy to get feedback about what you like and don't like in these options so we can finalize the plans accordingly.

Options
I like option 3. I like the non-rectangular shape of the bedrooms. I would like to keep more of the second curve, the one that looks like a porch now. Would it be possible to create a low (2 feet) "sitting" wall that follows that curve, with a fairly large entry way? The roundedness of the building seems to be slipping away in some of the drawings a little. The open floor plan and the relatively small bedrooms are very nice. With a squarish roof over this, it will be visually stimulating.
Very helpful feedback!
Thanks for this feedback, it was very helpful and we created option 5 based on that and added some 3D viewes.You are right that the"roundness" is shrinking a bit, we shrinked the curve's radius from 19' to 15'. It might reduce a bit the beauty of the shape from the outside, but it makes it easier to furnish the kitchen...Keep us posted on your thoughts... :)
