An imaginary ideal architectural location and urban utopia – Mount Methodology in Charette City – is the chosen location for the cabin we are required to design for our architect based on our exemplar house.
Our cabin’s ‘site’ is to be located within the green zone shown on the map and is to be a maximum size of 500m²
After extensive research on the Suitcase House, I have decided that the ideal location for my suggested cabin design would be on the west side of the mountain at Cantilever Cliffs:
Context
By using the three exemplar houses researched for part A (The Suitcase House, Isaacson-Davis Beach House and Samford House), I have created site locations and consequently an immediate neighbourhood for the location of my Cabin which will be designed following the design strategy on the chosen exemplar house (Suitcase House). These house sites are located immediately adjacent to the site chosen for my cabin.
While drawing the section of the site, I considered the name of the area - Cantilever Cliffs – and thought it reasonable to include aspects of the name in the section design. The name Cantilever Cliffs implies that the area is, in some areas quite steep; where natural or man made structures/elements cantilever over the edge.
