For the final submission I chose the Rose Seidler House. I visited the house and was struck with a sense of déjà vu, I know houses like this. Although I had seen the orthogonal windows from outside, it was not until I experienced the view through them from inside that I recalled this style of architecture. My attention and interest was caught particularly by the windows, the ramp, the fireplace, the extruding lamps, and the kitchen - the benches overhanging with bright, bold cupboards, the simple design of the bowls and cups from the time the house was built in and the classic refrigerator, stove, Kenwood chef, etc. For my 3D image I decided to capture the quality of the space that I experienced by a combination of these elements that I found intriguing. I used the elevation of the main bedroom window as the layout for my 3D image, inserting different qualities in different window frames. I used cross hatching with pen, building up in several directions with short strokes. This allowed me to explore the use of pen and the texture and tones that could be created from largely just one pen.

My plans, section and elevations where also done in pen for consistency and helped to produce a crisp, precise finish. As I did these drawings at 1:50 I did not render the whole image but rather the elements that I used in my 3D image. Although precise, in the final layout my plans, section and elevations did not stand as strong as my 3D image and further rendering within them was suggested, this would convey a greater sense of the space in each individual drawing. The overall layout was simple so not to detract from the 3D image and plans, section and elevations, and resonate the orthogonal nature of the house through another window.
