Design Statement
Design Statement
The house I am designing a house for a family who has a five acre lot located in San Diego, California. They have requested to have a private home that is environmentally friendly. They would like enough room to accommodate weekend guests and a large open floor plan where they can entertain. The mother is an artist so she would like a studio with a lot of light. I chose this location because we can do glass windows, a year round courtyard and the solar panels will be highley effective.
My objectives for the house are to provide a casual and relaxing environment for the whole family and locate it in a private environment. To do so I intend on planting a lot of tall trees around the house. I plan on adding solar panels to the roof facing the best way for effective use. There will be a courtyard in the middle of the house for entertaining and relaxing. Surrounding the courtyard will be glass walls and there will be access into the house by a main entrance and then through to garage into the kitchen. Walking into the house from the courtyard guests will notice the open floor plan from the foyer into living room into dining room and kitchen. This open floor plan will allow for guest entertaining and fulfill the home owner’s needs. Going off the living room with be a porch that the family can also relax on and there will be a pool in the backyard. There is a second floor with stairs coming out through the foyer. Upstairs will contain a fourth bedroom and bath with a large studio as requested. The interior of the house is going to be very modern. My main goal for this project is to keep on track with the client’s needs.
