WK07 Continuation of Model Making and Light Experiments

WK07 Continuation of Model Making and Light Experiments

Modelling My Work Space - Mezzanine and Ceiling Experimentation

This week I made a refined mezzanine model out of boxboard (1:20 scale). I have also done some iterations of the ceiling from the past weeks to see how they would react with light.

In real life I have a trapezoidal roof, so to control my experiments I first started with the trapezium shape, then moved to triangular cuts and rectangular cuts to experiment with the light.

1:50 Scale Model
To experiment with my room further, I made a model in 1:50 scale out of card to experiment with scaling of the mezzanine

100 Word Statement

Design Pitch This week I wrote a 100 word statement explaining my pitch for this project. Spatial Luminescence When a sleeping space is simple and private; when a study is light and dynamic; nothing else could make a more functional, yet comfortable space. In this, I investigated the ways to utilise the space’s scope through the room’s geometrics and to reinvent the roof’s capability to funnel substantial natural light inside. I met the objectives, as seen in my iterations, through a simple mezzanine extension, allowing for privacy in the sleeping-zone, while having a large break-out space above. Through light experimentations adapting into the final model, I achieved a dynamic rectangular series cut roof that allows for a large reflection of light. Thus, through the innovation of extension and roof typology, the perfect light and simple room was born.
