These images show the process of developing the massing of the
roof and volumes below. |
 |
4/8/03 Initial partial study of roof forms. Based on
ridgeline running the length of the house, with gable on right and hip on left.
Secondary roofs to left join to hip in various valleys unresolved at this
point. |
 |
4/9/03 Further resolution of hips at left side results in
undesirable valley. |
 |
4/9/03 Attempt to resolve valley by simplifying roof forms
not adequate. Valley remains. |
 |
4/9/03 Valley
resolved by moving end of hip further to the left, joining with hip over Den,
as in initial study. |
 |
4/10/03 Further development of roof forms, showing walls
below, skylights at ridgeline. However, undesirable valley between entry gable
and main roof now apparent. |
 |
4/10/03 Undesirable valley removed by moving entry gable to
ridge. However, skylights become an issue, and entry still seems pushed into
corner, and heirarchy of roof forms is somewhat confused (which is primary
now?) |
 |
4/11/03 Centrality of entry form (and great room beyond is
articulated by a central "tower" element. Surrounding roof pitches lowered to
defer to new element, overhangs and massing modified somewhat to give a more
"California" feeling. |
 |
4/12/03 A scheme in
which the roof of the main volume is modified to bring the overall composition
back into a cohesive whole, and the individual skylights are replaced by a
continuous light monitor. The garage roof becomes a hip to bring down the scale
from the street view. |
