Project V: Hierarchy

House and Studio for a painter

The objective of this project was to create a hierarchy. I created a hierarchy in my clients' favorite place between the house, garage and studio. Within the house a hierarchy was implemented as well. My hierarchy in the house has a different shape, height and design elements. In the site you can appreciate how everything relates and connects with the most important place of the whole project.
