This document summarizes a final project for a personal habitat designed like a boat anchored to the sand near the sea. The design was abstracted from a yacht photograph and features common areas on the first floor and private bedrooms on the upper floor, connected by a central staircase. The structure is based on a double row of columns that separate the space into three sections, allowing for perimeter circulation and an open central area. Natural wood and white concrete were selected as primary materials to accentuate the form.

1. Final Project Isabel Piscitelli

2. This is my project! My personal habitat is based on a boat that is anchored to the sand, this idea refer me a spot with a small slope next to the sea.

4. To obtain the final form, I did the abstraction of a yacht photograph

5. Here is the process of sketch and abstraction.

7. The common areas are at the first floor (living room, kitchen and dining room) and private ones in the last floor (bedroom) leaving the studio in the center of the house.

8. Dining room kitchen living room bedroom studio

9. The movement (the stairs) within the space is anchored in a single lateral axis.

11. Close up studio

12. Close up living room

13. Close up bedroom

14. The structure of this design is very particular, is based in a double row of columns that separate the space into three sections allowing a peripheral circulation and a central use of the space.

15. This distribution of the columns allows a spatial distribution without the use of the walls thereby pleasing the objective of the project. The inclination of the columns is allegorical to the palm trees (vegetation of the area). circulation Central space

16. The materials planned for this design are: basically natural wood and concrete (painted white to accentuate the form)

17. The elevation of the ground refers to the principles of purity and tranquillity own Asian culture, the entry by a wide staircase and low slope accentuated the importance of the entry and involves the sea, which permanently interacts with the model that was confusing with the shore.
