The Planning of a New Home from Start to Finish Continued
The next step was to develop the spaces relationship to the exterior environment whilst simultaneously trying to confirm each spaces relationship to the other and create a harmonious flow.
After that the jigsaw took shape and the size of the spaces were determined.
The sketch plan then took form and while there were a number of different layouts along the way, this was the basic process of space planning.
The elevations of the home were developed through sketching and generating ideas. I don't think that there is too much of a formal way of doing this.
My method is to sketch and experiment until a form that is pleasing takes shape.
You can use scaling methods such as the golden section and that will help create formality and create a pleasing aspect to the eye but the overall form and detail is a combination of the plan and it's relationship to the elevations as well as the interior three dimensional feeling or quality of a room.
