WEEK 11 - PROGRAMMING A COMBINATION OF WORK AND LIVING

Based on research in the previous weeks (outlined in my blog), I have continued expanding my origional concepts outlined in the massing experimentation.
In conjuction with most recent research about how to best distribute functions of work, play, living within a singular apartment dwelling, I have begun to distribute space for apartments across multiple levels, based on this idea of vertical separation of functions.
Therefore within the design, no one apartment is identical to another.

Apartments vary from:
  •  1, 2 and 3 bedroom
  • Most with additional work spaces
  • Loft apartment styles
  • Open plan styles
  • All with private outdoor greenspaces

FOURTH LEVEL FLOOR PLAN IN CONTEXT


The accommodation sector provides a gym, pool and function area, as well as individual study pods and public work lounge area that opens up onto the central courtyard that acts a a aesthetic separation between residential and commercial functions.



The work stations will be of a vibrant interior design scheme, equipt with interactive glass screens installed in all walls and desk surfaces to allow for sharing of information on large and small scales.
This technology will allow people to be connected to one another anywhere any time, as data is transferable between any device in which this glass is installed. For example - desk surfaces, walls, phones, fridge panels, mirros, glass doors, kitchen benchtops, car windows etc.
Technology determins the future, as it directly affects the way in which we live our lives. In this instance it will affect our lives based on time. Time will be given back the the people as such, for we will not longer need to be within a specific space to communicate with a specific person at a specific time or with a certain device.
It makes sense that with the advancement of 'smart' technology comes 'smart' living.



My design encaptulates this idea of 'smart' living, a design that allows us to live how we chose.
It allows us to experience the now, instead of working for the later.
I allows us to be smart, to create, to be heard, to deliver all within our own time and space.
