Systematic Structures

This is a wall elevation of the walls with my buffet on it. The buffet is pushed in 1' and well hidden by polycarbonate twin wall sheet. The buffet is part of the continued band that goes all around the room. Its 3' from the floor and 2' high.

The first wall elevation is of the diagonal wall with the entry ways. there are two walls like that and then the second elevation is of the two diagonal walls with windows. I still used the Polycarbonate twin wall sheet as a shade for the windows.


The insulation would be Cellulose.

The plan for my ceiling was continue the revealed studs up to the skylight. The ceiling is vaulted. One of the things I struggled with was how to make the ceiling look like it was barely being supported with the studs. However I thought this could not be achieved successfully with out making the ceiling a void.



One of the original elements that I wanted included in my design was a circular dome skylight. I derived this from the Parthenon. I decided other than two very shaded windows I only wanted a skylight in the roof. I thought this would be another element of wonder. The skylight would shine a circular ray of light at a different point every time of the day. I then chose this recessed light that adjusts to turn around the room. I thought that it would be a shame not to experience the same element of light during the night. This light is a halo 4 in. Tuscan bronze eyeball trim. It's manufactured by Home depot.
