My Sister's House: Individual Narrative

My Sister’s House started off as a basic design with enough square footage to allow room for mothers and their children to live. The sculptural floor plan allowed for our design to express a modern feel. It created spaces to allow extra rooms for the occupants the live. The feeling of the space now allows the mothers to feel comfortable in such a large building. The charretts helped us to understand how to develop our idea of modernism and how to incorporate it into the design of the building. The 1990s had a significant impact in our design. It forced us to reevaluate the space and allow for more gestural designs that reflect the ideals of that time period.
