CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

ANALOGUE MODEL SCALE 1:50 - KOREE (ROBERT TUCKWELL)

SKETCH DEVELOPMENT

FIRST IDEA First idea was to keep as much natural shape of the physical model as possible.	INSIDE LOOK I have created lots of different sketches to see what would work best. It was supposed to have three levels and helicopter pad on the rooftop.	FLOOR PLAN After weeks of development, I have created satisfying floor plan, and I thought it could really works.
ROOMS Staircase where leading underground through the glass bridge under pool - to the winery. However, when I started to work on my digital model, something just did not work. Therefore, I came back to the very beginning, and started to think about model shape once again.	FINAL IDEA I started to play with original floor plan of Koree model on CAD, and by copying, pasting and rotating it, I came up with a new shape.	FINAL FLOOR PLAN I made a copy of the existing Koree's floor plan and mirroed it. Then connect it with the existing plan, which made the whole plan twice bigger, and triple challenging. This was the stage I decided to stay with only one level. Overall, it gives a real tour around the house. Before, the pool area were going under the house, and finally it goes around it, and connect one side to the other, with access from both sides.
