This week we worked on schemes and floor plans for our "Thin" houses. After a few layouts, I decided to make my house 14' wide. I kept the program the same and on the original floors that they were on. The first and second were kept open, housing just the garage, mechanical space, clinic and stair up to the main house. The third floor, which I started laying things out on this floor, because I think of it as the main floor, holds the kitchen, dining and living rooms and the roof terrace. The fourth floor holds the three bedrooms and only one of the bathrooms.
Moving onto the sections, I started with the two in the short directions. I chose to double the floor to ceiling height and make it 16' tall. After I had them drawn, I took a step back and took out my tape measure and planed out the size of the bedrooms and found out that 16' tall is too much, especially in the courtyard that is 2 stories tall. Also I doubled up the columns, but that is too much as well so I'm going to try again and find a happy medium. Professor Carranza also helped me figure out another layout for my top floor to get an open to below space and maybe get that second bedroom up there.
