St. Elmo's 1 Bedroom Model

The model of the 1 bedroom helps elaborate my message a little better. In three dimensions, you can see how open the space is for a 1 bedroom. Even though I set up turns and angles with places to explore it still feels open with room to breath. The orientation of the rooms served to purposes. I wanted St. Elmo's to stay on the historical registry which means that I did not want to move or add any windows that would alter the exterior side of the building. Within this restriction I set for myself, I thought it best to provide the most light to rooms that we may spend the most amount of time in. Access to lighting helps the aesthetics of the apartment allowing wider array of design options and simply being able to add plants.

Concept Model

The gravity of the horizontal lines in combination with the tangling weeds of the base holds down the legs of the lattice. The nonobjective individual lattices are asymmetrical in nature, but the repetition creates a unity and rhythm for the whole. The scale relationship is emphasized between characters in the lattice and the conjoined circular lattice shape. The fragile structure is held down by something stronger and firmer reflecting the tenuous relationship between the fragility of growth and the restriction of steadfast paradigms. The color emphasizes the weakness of the structure of people in contrast to the firm ground that cracks far from the anchored footing of the lattice.
