PROJ 2B: Retreat House @ Cape Rachado

For the final project, we are asked to design a retreat house for the client that was given. The retreat house should not be more than 150 square meter and should correspond to the selected site. 

 

In my case, I have been given a client which is an introverted dancer. We are to study the client in detail and design a retreat house for the client him/herself where they will reside for a period of time. In my design, I have emphasized on dynamism and also the ease of movement where I kept the walls in the interior at minimum to provide a smooth flow of circulation throughout the house. At the same time, the house also envelops around the trees on site which seems as if its dancing around it, in which, compliments with my client's occupation. I have also used skylights to seperate the public space and private space where the sunlight creates a visual partition in between the space. 

 

REFLECTION

From this project, I have learned how to design a house which corresponds with the site and also the client where I implemented the characteristics into the house, thus creating a space with dynamism.
