Project 3: Double house and garden

Client 1: Young male art collector.

Client 2: Retired gardener

Concept:

-Gradual movement- like walking through a forest, and blurring the boundary between interior and exterior garden.

-Concept of winding through the building and site as if moving through a forest inspired by the Villa Mairea

- Gardeners house situated within the collectors house and is more connected to the private garden courtyard than the collectors house.

- Collectors house is more spread out across the site to include an office, storage and be connected to the gallery and public space.

- Gardener and collector share a small corridor at the back of the site where the city view can be enjoyed in each other's company

-Public space- the gallery begins at street level and extends to the back of the site with a rooftop outdoor sculpture garden.
