Interior Design- Housing Concept

I was asked to design an idea for a show home, taking into consideration the layout and design of the exterior and interior. I was asked to produce visual research, drawings which have been developed, the use of space in the room, mood boards to show my ideas and to take into account colour, style, textures and furnishings.
     I began to design a building which would fit in with the design brief, I began with a square building, and thought about how different parts of the building could be cut out or have a window in it. I then thought about how the house could be on stilts, therefore the garden would be larger and could go under the house as well as around the house. I thought about different window designs and large, small and different shapes for windows.With these ideas in hand I began to produce several A1 sheets of developing ideas for my house.

 To further the design I thought about how the rooms could all be seperate and how one room could be one house, therefore the rooms would have more light and more space and the space could be used better. The rooms would be seperated by walkways with a overhead cover (which would be ideal for miserable weather) leading towards the different rooms. I began to draw walkways and different ways the buildings could be angled in which the houses would link together.I also thought about how the windows would work and whether enough natural light was being created in the room.
 I then thought of how by spliting the rooms up into buildings, I could use that idea to cut a square diagnol to create a triangle shape which would suggest it was half of a building and would match the idea of rooms connected by walkways. I then began to design an interesting concept of how a triangle building would look good from the outside and also look stylish in the interior. By using a triangle room the use of space in the interior was important, as the room was half the size of the previous square building, the interior has less space and a difficult shape which would need to be designed well. After looking at this, I began to think about windows, I designed triangle windows which would fit in with the design of a triangle house, although i thought one window was not enough, i then thought about using a rectangle window underneath the triangle to add more light to the room but to also look like a show home. I then came up with a model of 4 triangle houses, joined together by walkways and on stilts so the garden was large and exposed.
