Cabin Design: No. 12, Datum Drive. Project 1C.

Drawing inspiration and great influence from Geoffrey Bawa's 33rd Lane, I chose to nestle Garden Spaces between the living spaces, as to offer a changing journey between rooms.

Site Location

No. 12 as an Environmental Filter
No. 12 makes use of alternating the setting that users must experience via the creation of Garden Spaces. It is through this notion that the House does not filter the Environment, but incorporate it into its overall layout.

No. 12 as a Container of Human Activities

No. 12 offers a range of different spaces for different uses; places for ralaxing, places for solitude, places for contemplation, places for eating, places for living, and places for ingesting the earth's finer points.

No. 12 as a Delightful Experience
No. 12 offers a slick navy tiled roof, to adorn the top of white render exterior walls, with wood fences to contain the green spaces within. Without its layout, No. 12 would simply be another house with a window-garden here and there. But in No. 12, the gardens offer a place where the only viewing point from outward is the door that one had passed through moments before; a space for complete silence and seperation of life's troubles.
