The Concept
The concept behind this studio project was to first to diagram Rudolf Schindler’s Kings Road House that will help establish design strategies for the Artist Design Studio and a Living Place. Among the things discovered while studying the Kings Road House was the use interior and exterior space interchangeably to create flexible and dynamic living and working spaces. By using large sliding doors, Schindler extended living room space into the garden, where he created rooms with use of the landscape and plants. The use of fireplaces on the outside, just like on the inside allowed to occupants to be free to occupy exterior spaces even during cold Californian nights.
Adopting these design strategies to the new site, and by using the verticallity of the site to design in section, the proposed house takes advantage of views, creates private exterior living area with the Architecture itself as well as with the existing landscape.
