Week 3 Home Exercise Sketchup Models

Original Rooms - 3m high, 2-4 metres wide and long



Rotated and Stacked




Rotated and placed. Fits a 3 sided pyramid envelope.



3 Primitives - 1st Design, Cone, Box, Wedge

The cone is 9 metres high, with space for up to 3 floors, each getting gradually smaller (top floor probably only 1 room - bedroom?). The wedge on its side getting smaller until it is door sized as it crosses into the cone. 7m tall, enough for 2 floors or a vaulted ceiling, or both (studio space looking down over main living area??). The box there to connect the 3 areas together, with a small courtyard in the centre.





3 Primitives 2nd Design - Wedge, Torus, Cylinder

Here the torus is the main event. 2 metre radius in the tube with a 6m total radius, it can fit normal sized living areas in a cool way - a continuous hallway wrapping itself around the house. The cylinder is 7m tall with a 3m radius (when standing straight). I tilted it on its edge to create a cool effect with the rooms, which would be parallel to the ground but with the roof and windows slanting up and away - especially with rounded sides. The wedge is there to connect with the cylinder to create a sort of bridge over the roman style courtyard in the middle.
