The first part of this project required us to select three exemplar houses and begin researching around three topics. These included house as an environmental filter, house as a container of human activity and house as a delightful experience or as Vitruvius put it quite simply: Firmness, Comoddity and Delight.
My Selection:
Lake Weyba House - Gabrielle Poole
- Built in 1996 on the sunshine coast hinterland.
- Designed for Architect and his wife.
- Centered around three separate pavillions emphasis on "prefabrication as a means to design and build houses appropriate to sub-tropical and / or rural environments within the
constraints of modest budgets, minimal construction works and short time frames" (Ridell)
Casa Tolo - Alvaro Leite Siza Vieira
- Northern Portugal
- Constructed on a very tight budget. Completed in 2004.
- Designed for family of four
C House - Donovan Hill
- Constructed in 1998 in south suburbs of Brisbane
