From concept to space


It has been quite the challenge trying to express the concept and atmosphere I'm trying to achieve to a building. The conceptual section below shows in essence an external envelope that looks quite normal from the outside that leads to different rooms in an internal space of which the structure and layout resembles the way Charles Peace used to remove bricks under the bridge to construct his space of inhabitation. The route a person would follow towards his room seems quite normal but it masks a peculiar interior "courtyard" which is only revealed by the view from each rooms window. The space one sees from the window is quite daunting since the existence for this space is concealed/masque at all points of the user's journey to his room. Acoustic relationships between units bellow or above each one's unit only enhance the feeling of something is about to happen and the notion of sinister activities taking place.
