Architecture Design Studio 1 - Project 1: Representing Me

First project of design studio, Representing Me. In this project, we are to create something that are able to represent or reflect who we are, simply representing ourselves, it can be anything, a mask to a tool.

As for me, I decide to create a spinning staircase which lead to infinite. The reason I make this is because of my curiosity and motivation to hardworking. The stairs are slowing becoming shrink and then expanded again, then there is another stairs connected from top to bottom to create a infinite feel circuit, this design comcept is based on paradox concept, which is infinite, to indicate the curiosity of mine and the problem that I'm facing will never ending.

Architecture Design Studio 1 - Project 2: Life Capsule

Life Capsule is a confined space which will house multi-functional furnitures which the user can use for several position and for activities for a day long. We are doing this life capsule in a group of 5, the cilent we choose are Edwin because of he has a strong personality. He is a businessman, so the life capsule we make must have a space for him to work on and have enough cabinate for filing or stuff, then a area for resting.

Interim Presentation
The design of the life capsule is implemented with some robotic design, which is polygonal. But the outlook is not that statisfied so we change a lot of it. And the final outcome is very satisfied since we need to apply furnitecture into our life capsule. We use the structure support as a furniter as well, for example, the fins that supporting the wall act as a table as well. Then the whole structure and ciling is support by 2 piller hidden inside the capsule so it won't fall off easily and provide a very refreshing space since most of the heat from sunlight are blocked out by the roof or ciling.

Final Presentation

The design concept of our life capsule did not change that much, we just added in some more supporting wall or fins since the 1:1 actual model is kind of heavy compair with the mockup model.

Architecture Design Studio 1 - Project 3 Final Project: A Hide Out

The final project of design studion is about creating a hide out for our client. A hide out is a space where the user shade away from limelight and busy hectic life, a space specially design for the user which lead to comfort, relaxing and personal. The client I choose is Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft.

There are few aspect that I'm focusing on when designing the hideout, a space for his hobbies, resting area, make the space as big as possible to help reduce stress, a relaxing working space, functionality and the lightning and circulation. The concept of the hideout is innovative style. I combine the living room and working space, which is his office together without any parting to improve the space, this is called open space design concept, which make the area look bigger to help reduce stress. The badroom will be at second floor and also the garden area, a greenhouse since my client likes green plant very much.

In this project, I've learned how to use and design a space to its maximum potention with a lot of functionality and user friendly, which I think is the most important thing and the first to think of, the user experience. Give the user a better living condition and comfort.
