Final narrative images, final plan, final sectional perspective

here are my final images.

I am reaonably pleased with the final outcome of each image. my narrative images clearly display the folding gestures i was hoping to achieve through my design. The narrative  images display how the ramps, seats and decking areas would be inhabited by people at the public pool.

I have completed a sectional perspective that shows the male changing room, as well as the public pools waiting area.

 I have also done a sectional perspective to show different angles of the overall view of my design, the section shows how the pool sits within the land (returning to the land).

I have drawn my plan on drafting film that overlays the existing sites plan, in photoshop i have incorporated photos i have taken of my final models plan, and used them to overlay the drawing,  i believe this gives more information about the materiality of the plan of my final design. i then added details such as trees and the pool water.

starting points for narrative images

here are some images i have done to show the exterior views on my intervention.

with my narrative image i intend of showing the ramps that run along side the lap pool and the seating that folds away into the surrounding landscape.

narrative images drawings

i have drawn some Eucalyptus trees which i intend on putting into most of my narrative images, to show the surrounding nature.

i have also done another texture which i will use for the water of my pool

final concept design

After a lot of developments, i believe my final design is successful, it portrays my concept clearly of 'returning the building to the land' through the intervention of the pool.

I have extended the beams of the existing Ball-Eastaway house out and sloped and folded them according to the topography of the land.

The beams now created new surfaces for ramps that allow the inhabitant to walk along these 'folds'.

Seats that display the same language of 'folding' have been added to the very ends of the new intervention which peel away into their surroundings.

ramps and seats

i have added ramps and seats by 'peeling away at the existing deck', that follows the topography of the landscape.

the ramps have slight slopes leading you along the topography of the buildings site, and enabling you to walk amongst the surrounding bush.

individual seats provide an area for people to relax and look out into the Australian bush that surrounds the pool, each seat slopes back against the land and then extends out into it.

concept developments

here are some images showing some developments of my project

pool

beginings of pool.

after doing alot of sketches of how the pool could be incorporated into the Ball-Eastaway house, i have decided i wanted to include the pool by means of intervention.

i have extended the existing beams that run underneath the Ball-eastaway house, and dropped them down to create a new platform for the pool.

this all ties in with my concept of creating a new element that 'returns the building to the ground'.

plan perspective

this image shows the plan perspective of my building, extra images showing shadow

plan of Glenn Murcutt Ball-Eastaway house

trees

I have added some tress around my building to see how it looks.

the Ball-Eastaway house is surrounded by a lot of vegetation being secluded in the Australian bush, so i thought it was necessary to include some.

posts in ground

these shots show how the posts are situated in the ground.

elevating posts

i have just finished creating the posts that the Ball Eastaway house is elevated upon.

there are seven posts down each side, each post is connected to the long beams running down the side of the building

ground slab

i have just added the ground floor upon which my building sits, i still need to add a few more posts that elevate the building above the ground.

corrugated texture

now that my building seems to be correct, i have finally begun adding the final textures

new roof

i have created the roof again , because after viewing more images of the Ball-Eastaway house  i realised the roof was different to what i originally thought.

beams

i have now began adding texture to the beams

addings beams

i have just completed adding all the beams along the underside of my building.
