Interim presentation to Taka + feedback

Site - showed site plan of original model (my house) versus Airedate Street with goal to try and recreate the path experience in a very urban context

Original model - showed image of this plus gave blocks of wood to smell

Path, scent, sky - could navigate the path by smell

Explained courtyard design with path and rationale behind the materials (cedar, mortar with scents etc) and planting. Story about hoya vine taken from mother's garden and jasmine planted next to the toilet (from home memory).

Sun will heat up this path and intensify smells of the architecture
Mentioned nostalgic memories of childhood smells and how I want this family's children to grow up with memories of natural smells (eg. plants, wood etc) rather than the usual artificial smells remembered from childhood of playdoh, plastic toys etc.

Feedback

Story and concept good but floor plan needs reworking to fit into an urban context - cannot have so much open space.

• Too much unused space (eg the space around the bathroom for example).
• Make the section more interesting, like the original concept model, with varying heights and different light qualities.
• Look at other classic courtyard designs
