Andrew Ramsey- Week 12

This week I worked on creating floor plans for an existing structure and worked on conceptual ideas for a garage renovation into a mother in law house. Both of these projects gave me insight into interior layouts and how ambiguous they can be. With the existing house on Meeting Street, I had to visualize the existing floor plan with slight assistance from elevations and what I saw when visiting it. Using this method meant there was still an uncertainty to what I was doing, there was a mystery to the true design, especially on the floors we could not access. During the garage renovation I experimented with many different layouts, with an infinite number of possibilities for the space. Both these instances they were small spaces, yet there was an uncertainty to the space and the walls that define them. The garage seems like a simple small space, but had an unlimited potentials, something I did not know could occur within a space that size. The way of design showed itself as the only solution to refine the design, which helped me learn the true value of good design, even within that scale.
