Part C, design ethos and progression



before initiating the cabin design, the exemplar architects own design philosophies were further analysed, alongside the aesthetic analysis that was undertaken in part B, some key findings included:

The segregation of public spaces to the ground floor, and private spaces to the secondary floor


The use of exterior spaces to make interior spaces feel, or even become larger with the use of changeable open plan spaces, this interplay of interior and exterior spaces was one of the key 'party' elements in his design


The use of a primary hallway or space that all other spaces run onto, another potential 'party' aspect


the abundant use of natural lighting, large glass windows, swiveling doors, and framing of key views, with primary living areas often expanding out into these views.


After taking into account these elements, diagramming of spaces and drafting of spaces was undertaken
