Design 4

This design is a response to the quiet, solemn and subdued nature of the caretaker. The house hovers above ground sitting on a podium. With everything being white like a morgue a feeling of emptiness as if no sign of life lives there is present. Like my first design solution this design resembles a journey with one end of the house hovering just above the land and the other end being the tower which is incorporated into the whole design to look unimposing. The 'wave' journey symbolises the continual rise and fall something.  To access another space one needs to climb up or down stairs which demonstrates a change in the journey. There are no windows in the house with the only natural light coming from the tower. This creates a dark and dull tone of space.
