Re-inventing the Green House

After looking at the Greenhouse designed by Zen Architects, I have noticed a few important factors that make the building a unique standout in its suburban environment. The most important being the curved roof which contrasts the orthogonal nature of surrounding houses. Mimicking the natural environment, the curvature of the roof draws the eye to specific parts of the house, the front decking in particular. The curvature of the roof also results in a slanted roof, allowing for ribbon windows on the front façade to bring in extra sunlight to this 1 storey house.

To reinvent the house I plan to exaggerate the curvature of the roof, by creating curved walls and possibly curved floors. I also plan to use wood as the primary texture and wooden screens to further represent the curved roof of the East Brighton Greenhouse.

The openness of the veranda makes the interior of the house seem much bigger, and effectively joining the interior with the exterior 

 The straight sloped roof contrasts with the curved part of roof at the other end of the house drawing the eye over the length of the house.

 The curvature of the roof adds extra appeal to the house.

 The main hallway links the back and front of the house, creating a flow through the house.
