For week two, the design is further refined. The garden that was previously located in a southerly direction has been moved in a northerly direction to provide better lighting conditions. Balconies have also been added. The gallery has been pulled in slightly and a supporting structure placed underneath to explore what happens if the entire building floats above the ground.
This week we did a site visit and when bringing the model to the site, I realized the stepping down articulation of the building wasn’t great enough. The cliff face was a sheer 30 foot drop into a small garden space. The neighboring building handled this drop by way of a vertical facade spanning three floors. This vertical space was interrupted by two upper floors having set in balconies and the lower floor a balcony that was set out from the façade. This existing articulation works well in responding to the cliff face weaving itself through the site.
