Project 2: Preliminary Model 1

I began about thinking the way light can bounce off walls and provide the ambiance of the room. This room embeds my narrative:

"Luminous shelter for an exhausted triathlete, determined on a new challenge."

Where the platform with the steps highlights her private space. Perhaps her bed, a place where she rests from all her hard work. This private space, yet dark on the inside, glows on the out - like a solar eclipse - like the woman in the painting. The layering of roofs provide different light work on the interior, it reflects the weight of the place, light. This was expressed in the painting, where the sill of the window had many layering's of sill - that were rather exposed due to the absence of a curtain. I imagine the space to be quite open. I didn't build the other walls in order to look into the room, but I envision a solid wall on one side (passage into other rooms) and a glazing wall the other. A sensation of public versus private space. The glazing though will not be overly exposed, but contain panels or walls that can be moved in order to block out light when needed. The ceiling above the elevated panel contains an extruded panel that absorbs the light and reflects it in a ecliptic way.
The space is generally intended to "rest". Sometimes after a hard day of exercises all you want to do is "rest", a place of privacy and and yet a place of exposure.
