The building I have chosen is the House of Magnolia which I have found in mwworks in Seattle under projects in progress but have not been built yet. This unconstructed project is located on the sloping Magnolia site of South Alki and Elliot Bay in Seattle. The Magnolia House has Views from Queen Anne and the Seattle Skyline. The house is a contemporary, tall timber clad design which provides seclusion on the northern side from the neighbours and extends down the hill to maximise the sight. The reason why I chose this design was because of the simplicity of the house, the style and also the surrounding land around it, Its modern yet comfortable and appealing, the landscape has privacy and it is located on a inclined land which has the advantage over other buildings to view the city of Seattle located in the United States of America. The house has a slightly elevated timber walkway which is somewhat elevated and has a cadaverous landscape courtyard. As you walk in the front door the path opens up to a double height space flanked by the two main volumes of the home and then follows to the end where the living room is located where it becomes more spacious. A glassy corner adjacent to the fireplace looks over the house opening a broad vision underneath Magnolia.
I have chosen this building because it isn’t very large and its not too small either, its attractive both on the inside as well as on the outside, I wanted a residential house as I am more used to designing them more so then commercial buildings, its uncomplicated yet effective, eye-catching and innovative yet a comfortable and hospitable dwelling. This can be a good design for my assignment as I only have a short amount of time to complete it and would like to have the time to do the detailing and not just hand in a finished project.
Any way sees you all on Wednesday!
