Digital tools have opened a connection to the human imagination. The art of creating space for humans with these tools opens a wealth of fluid media experiences of the space still evolving. Images and virtual interactive content provide communication tools to involve all levels of understanding in the task of creating a unique home that can be activated over time to become a dwelling. Review and overview movie for this blog post.
Digital content that can create a moment in time in space still in the realm of unbuilt space. A whole body experience space derived from the betterment of the human condition, Human interaction in a flowing space between IN and OUT space. Creation of a village of spaces woven into the site. Elemental design foundations for dwelling.
BIM is a tool to create a three dimensional model of a home a source for digital content that communicates design. A collective effort of space creation for the unique site and family unit.
Vitual walk through can be conducted at anytime during the design development. The content is create form the design model and allows for content to be shared from schematic to finish construction documents. Stand allow files can be created and shared with the stake holders without special software a computer and internet connection, These files can also be experienced as stand alone computer without a internet connection. Digital technology can be experienced for housing clients with out limits to the audience technology capabilities. Housing design for all humans.

Raw production animations can be as simple as a view of a space standing from one location. Communicates the unbuilt space. Animation above is the Genesis home the Great Flex space. This content is shared even in the schematic design phase. Experience a blog post on flexing design concept.
Animation above is the Great flex of the Genesis home. This animation set the baseline for the comparison of the maturing process of this space. Below is the animation of the same space later in the maturing process when the ISE kitchen island and side porch MOD arrive.
Animation provides a quick over view of the space. Materials and finishes can be explored as well with multiple animation created to compare how the space transforms.
Animations are created by setting a camera path that has cameras placed and adjusted to communicate the design levels of experience, The resulting movie can be created with each milestone in the design interaction. The ability to create a progressive multimedia content helps to involve the client moving beyond the traditional construction document content. A fluid digital media create a new level of interaction is layered with opportunity to reach a new level of design. Holistic design exploring the unique site and family unit. A journey of design is a beginning to a family life cycle of flexing and maturing genesis evolve into a legacy dwelling. A legacy dwelling equipped with layers of flex ready to serve the current family unit with vision toward the next generation. Animation above is walk through of the Legacy MOD designed to provide home based option for well aged living.
Animation provides a quick overview of the Side porch MOD arrival and layers of experience that are added to the Genesis home. Experience a blog post on plan transformation
Above animation explores the Side porch MOD arrival as a revitalization of the open porch of the Genesis home. This MOD creates a new transitional space to the garden a all season room and extension of the Great Flex. Quick activation of the overhead door transitions the space to garden porch.
Digital images communicate the design.
Gallery above provides examples of a moment in the space derived from the human interaction potential of that space, Interaction between human family members is the catalyst for creation and detailed layers of space creation. Images are created to celebrate the elemental principles of living in a dwelling. A home that is designed and built to empower family interaction on the elemental level. A return to human interaction creating joy moments that become memories sharing a bond of love a basic human need. A refugee to return to and embark on the daily journeys. A core base of revitalization and rest.
Above images in a sequence help to communicate design feature details. Above sequence illustrates the seasonal change of the double dutch door in the food MOD. Layers of experience.
Images and animation are complied into a movie that helps to communicate the result of a design exploration, The movie above was created to provide an overview of a blog post and is a good example of composite movie of images, text, and animation. An experience of the designed space a vested interest of all family members in the creation of a home with the knowledge of flex and maturing potential layered into the building components, A source plan provides a glimpse into the future, The act of living in the home activates the maturing evolution into a dwelling.
Gallery above examples of composite sheets create a single source for transforming traditional architectural conventional document types with digital images and the written word to convey a design principle and details. Leveraging a visual vocabulary to revel the layers of design and the human needs source for each design detail. MODs are explored and refined to compliment other elements. Limited foot print with a potent group of layers to meet function with a holistic design contribution to flex maturing open plan concept. Multi functional directive is a design principles and strategy to concentrate on quality of craftsmanship and material selection. A high level of design worthy of the status that a dwelling is to elemental human needs. Experience layers activated by the act of living. Digital content communicates on a interaction level more in keeping with how humans actually experience of the space.
Simulations are conducted to study the interaction between the proposed design and the site Light movement and quality are tested to balance the envelopes actual form as well as systems required to create actual skin, A interactive skin layered with flex and future enhancements units to arrive to revitalize the home along the journey a family life cycle, Season change extremes are simulated to reach the balance of site views and the quality of light. The micro climate of the site is also factored into consideration as existing vegetation and topography can have a impact on the study of design. An example is the existing tress on site could provide the shade required during the extremes of summer. An understanding of this impact could result is an overhang distance helps leverage passive solar for the winter months, A topographic feature such as a hill could be a buffer to reduce prevailing wind patterns impact on the nature ventilation system design. File below indicates the light movement through out one day. Information can be used about the actual locations and the day of the year to complete several studies to confirm light control stratifies are balanced and working for the extreme condition of each season.
Simulation below provides an overview of the construction sequence to enclose the Genesis home exterior envelope. Communication of the holistic design process. Experience a blog post on Modular construction strategies.
Movie below is the arrival of the Retreat Bay ISE and escape pod space off the retreat flex. This space adds a space for the a more intimate retreat space surrounded by garden. A story time before a child’s nap. Layers of experience added to revitalize the Retreat flex.
Movie above is an example of before and after comparison of a ISE layers of experience a home revitalization. A bay window or seat is a fundamental building component, Digital design refines the fundamental layers advances them toward creating a whole body experience space. A late winter early spring day can transform a window seat. A window seat paced to take advantage of a site view of a garden that has begun the transformation from winter to spring as the tender shoots of plants appear providing a memory of the work you completed in the garden the year before. A refocus to the back drop of a view of the forest beyond shows signs of the buds that will soon bloom with the color of spring. A rising winter sun brings warmth as it touches your face. A cracked opening of the window provides a cool breeze of fresh air with the smell of early spring awakening.
