3d model of original MINIMA Design

I thought i would make a rough 3d model of the original design to further develop the concept of this minimal space. this model gives a better idea of scale of the model. Bathroom area is not present as i did not feel it was necessary to recreate.

These are original Images of the model taken before the presentation

These are the original posters for the Minima Presentation. I learned a valuable lesson on sticking to your original idea, as i decided to redo the concepts page with not enough time to spare. (Excuse the side on images as the computer would not allow me to rotate them)

Team B2 Domus 3d Model

Here are some images of the 3d model i made for the B2 domus project some of which didnt make it into the final presentation because they do not look architectural enough. In this forum however they are useful to provide an understanding of what the space would look like in real life.
An image of the site would have provided a better idea of the context of this image

Making mud bricks

B3s Domus design is a made brick construction (bricks made from the earth we will excavate). This short clip demonstrated how each brick is made using a simple cast for uniformity.

Final Project - notes

Gound Level

First Floor

-Maximisation of north facing windows. This helps get the lower winter sun into the building providing both warmth and light.
- The open spaces provided between the levels allows for greater communication between the inhabitants and a greater sense of connection. As students we like to be near other students.
- A number of living spaces are provided. One at each end of the building, as students we also like to be away from each other at times. The single large sliding door on the bottom level separates the two areas. Perhaps the living area with the kitchen is a more home type area, as the other living area is connected to the work area.
- Materials – Timber cladding and LVL beams and column
