Well, I'm bored and cleaning out my hard drive... came across some designs from last year at uni and figured they can probably be classed as creative, so figured I'd post a few images of my major project. Oh yeh I should mention that I study architecture at university... my other passion aside from photography!
I got sick of everyone producing the same designs, or one person seeing anothers and nicking all their ideas, so I shoved my building half a storey into the ground and poured earth all over the top of it, to create an earth-sheltered building... a place for privacy in a remote location... a very secretive retreat for up to 20 people.
So um heres some images...
The retreat from its entrance... the sections sticking up above ground are similar to periscopes and use a series of mirrors up a vertical shaft to provide glimpses of outside for each bedroom.
The atrium or "indoor square"
The bedroom courtyard by day...
The bedroom courtyard by night...
Overall coloured plan...
General drawing of the area...
And thats about that really... not very exciting but hey, at least I can say no one had the same design!
