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.
