For my design I started thinking about the
organisation of the units, since the client
was neat and clean.
This led me to the spliting of the units into
three zones:
-1 the Living and Kitchen area
-2 Sleeping and Bathing area
-3 with the study area being the most important
unit in the clients brief
These three units revolved around a tower
like shape which in itself was made out of a
reflective material; which in my case is steel.
To me this suited my client better as he is a workaholic in the field of the ‘cold sciences’.

Concept 1
After a few varying designs with the tower and the
3 zones I came up with this. With the 3 zones
separated into three 3 floors, with zone 1 on the first,
zone 2 on the second and zone 3 on the top floor. In
the top floor of the tower the ceiling and walls are
cladded in steel. I thought this allowed the highly
commercial sort of space to be a place of reflection
and thinking.

Concept 2
This was just concept 1 but inverted; which
led to the idea of an underground laboratory.
With a steel metal element which encases a
ladder shaft in which you descend into deeper
floors. The 3 zones were also inverted, IE The
study/lab are on the bottom floor. This pushed my
design concept for my client to revolve more around
the study and reflected space, since the importance of
deeper thinking became an important part of my characters
brief. The buildings alos had sky lights which allowed
ambient light to enter the space making it feel purer, cleaner, like
a sanctuary for for character.

Concept 3
Moving onto the digital models, 3ds max allowed me to design
more organic shapes, creating a double helix shape of the tower;
which was derived from my first concept, with the three zones made
out of concrete and glass and the helixes being the steel reflective
element.

Concept 4
The Geneticist, this profession can be considered morally wrong, since we
are heading into the direction of artificially creating things; which before could
only be left up to mother nature to decide. An extreme case of this is how ears
were grown out of the backs of mice. This idea drove my building shape
to be more like a cancerous root pervasively intruding into mother earth. With
the units becoming large facilities pulled out from inside the building into the
long corridors/roots; which don’t have any respect in terms of relating to the
site and landscape.
