For week four I reverted back to more of a Koolhaas inspired design. The building is compartmentalized into public, semi private and private on three separate floors. The two lower floors are connected by a staircase that mirrors the articulation of the neighboring houses. The lowest floor housed a public garden and the artist’s residence. The middle floor houses the glazed in gallery and the upper floor the art collector’s residence. This design very similar to Rem Koolhaas Maison รก Bordeaux in terms of program, but features a more interesting articulation instead of the standard box stacked on top of another box concept.
The problems found with this design is that the gallery needs be better encapsulated and sheltered from direct sunlight. The artist’s residence however receives far too little sunlight and must either be fitted with massive skylights or moved to a better location.
