PROJECT 3 - ARCHITECTURAL INFLUENCES



The distinctive form of this gallery house determines its interior, which is characterized by curved walls, ceilings of unequal height and strong light contrasts. I find the ambiguis and non traditional spaces very intruiging.
This house is situated down the road from me in Watsons Bay. As a child I hated the large white wall as it was so unfamiliar to me as a place of inhabitance. As a student however, I love this home. The wall was heritage listed and thus essential to keep, a house has evolved around this wall.
The lines of the Yokohama International Port Terminal are fluid and do not force themselves upon the viewer. To me, they are quiet, yet dignified and create a completely unique space.
