Design 3

This design is a creation, which responds to the caretakers occupation, maintaining gardens. While all of the other three designs sit uneasily with the land, this design crawls along the land like an alive plant. As the caretakers occupation means plants have become its friends, a dwelling which sits comfortably and neutrally with the land is necessary. The folding nature of the dwelling, with walls reaching from the ground turn unnoticeable into the ceiling, makes the connection between the natural and the man made more humble. Fenestration is merely a crack in wall letting in enough light for some growth however the windows are positioned high enough for complete privacy.
