Design Statement

Individual:

Since the beginning of the project, many factors have influenced our design for My Sister’s House. In our first charrette, we studied the way light works on the lot. In our second, we built a sketch model, playing with the space allotted. We then chose a moment to build and emphasize. Assigned materials, we created a collage of places we could use each of them. All of this information, mixed with learning from mistakes, and with influence from artists and designers from the 1980s, has been kept in consideration for our design of My Sister’s house. Our design in the works includes natural elements, tricks of light, and unexpected qualities.

Team:
The use of color and light in our design emphasize our intent to infuse the space with emotion. Our exterior has a strong horizontal language that is incorporated into the interior. These horizontals throughout the building reflect our idea of nature within and around the structure.
