PHASE II + PHASE III

PROGRAMMING + SCHEMATIC DESIGN

Since this was a custom build, there were a lot of iterations that were thought of. Many bubble diagrams and block diagrams were created in order to find the floorplan that would work the best. The idea behind the design was to follow the curvature of the land and  a modern take on the  A frame cabin in the woods.
