This is  perspective shot take from my sketch up model on AD109. With in this renovated church i have created an open spaced living area with  a great source of natural light being received from the dinning room wall windows. I have used signature colours through out the interior making everything compatible and creating a unique style to the property. 


Above is the open spaced living area over looking from the front door with visibility and in clear reference towards my aimed living plan.  I have included a wall barrier separating the stair and balcony area and also to accommodate a modern fire place frame.


This is my kitchen area combined with a breakfast area adjacent to the dinning room area. 
I have used a concrete floor to represent the gothic appeal to the building and this also creates a urban, industrial and modern twist to this family home. 


The master bedroom is spread out over the whole width of the property taken full advantage of the area provided. I have converted selected exterior walls and converted these into glass walls as to gain natural light and fantastic landscape views of the surrounding country side. 





















Throughout the course of my higher education I have been influenced by many different concepts and styles. I was most impressed with the techniques and ideas put forward by David Fisher in charge of a vastly and on gong projects which consist of a new architecture known as Dynamic architecture. These buildings as well as creating a modern and futuristic individual aesthetic also have created an innovative way of providing power to these uniquely designed buildings. As these buildings rotate fans and turbines in between each level of the tower spin in reaction to the wind. These turbines then create power transmitted to a power generator which provides energy and electricity for all uses of the building.















Finding alternate ways of living with ecologically friendly inputs I found these bubble homes. Created on a very low expense these homes use the outer shell to create heat and insulation with out the use of running electricity or water. They represent a smooth, futuristic and modern way of housing and these particular bubble homes are used as temporary outhouses and summer homes, although I feel they are capable of being used on a higher scale.
Browsing the internet i found this humours public toilet. Not a widely constructive idea and more of a one of novelty concept this toilet is built with in four walls with the occupier being able to see out and the public only being able to see a mirror image. 


















When reading a metro newspaper I came across an article in relation to this picture. Its is a fully recyclable car, fully functional and made out of bamboo. I admire this ecologically  friendly outlook on design and feel this could be converted into some form of architectural design. For instance a fully recyclable home which could fold and become transportive depending on the occupiers desired destination.

I really admire the simplicity and open spaced layout of this room. Using minimal colours and shapes of furnishings it creates personality and class to this modern home. I have used this example of a contemporary living space as influence towards an on going project.
