room extension
leicestershire, uk
residential
university project
15 / 12 / 2022
an extension to my university accommodation, designed in the first term of first year. worked out through working card models and facade experimentation.
the first task was to design with no restrictions at all, so i built a theoretical safe place: a raised glass house in the jungle, open to light but screened from view. it was never going to be built, but it set the list i then designed against. nature, privacy, levels, daylight, room to work.
the real brief allowed two thirds of the existing floor area, 14.33 square metres, and the room could only grow in two directions. three card models failed on privacy, drainage or fit, so i fixed one interior layout and made the facade an interchangeable panel.
the first design studio project i ever did.
