The Outcome:

I decided to focus mainly on the path of movement through the house. When one enters the home, they do so by going up a long ramp and are immediately pulled straight into the home toward the glass walls. I continued this movement, using the fireplace as a portal to the addition. In order to do this, I rotated the new building about the three-story room and connected it by placing a large patio outside. Here, the patio becomes the focal point for both, the original house and the addition and helps to create hierarchy.

 

The structure for the addition too, stayed the same. I rotated the structure about the three-story room, creating a right angle between the existing house and the addition. However, this time, I made the columns most noticeable from the outside of the home.

 

 

 

I chose the three story room in the existing home as a point of rotation.

I found that if I rotated it enough, I could create a straight-line movement through the home.

I used the fireplace as the portal from the existing home into the new home, and connected the pieces on only the first and second floors- the public and semi-public floors.

The Grid created guidelines for the addition.

PLANS:

 

Overall:

The purple beams that extend from the beginning of the walkway to the extreme back of the home not only outline the movement into the extension, but also create a more defined and  exhilarating entrance into the home.

First Floor:

The Family Room is placed on the first floor because of its public nature. Its placement allows for easy access to the Kitchen, Dining Room and Patio.

Second Floor:

The Workout Room is on the second floor due to its semi-public nature. Although it is easily accessible from the master suite, it is also easy to get to from other places in the home-including from places in the original home. The Exercise Room overlooks part of the Family Room below.

Third Floor:

The Master Suite is a private room. It is accessible only from the staircase in the extension of the home. It enjoys its own private bathroom, closet, and outdoor balcony.
