Project 1- Artifice

Eileen Gray – House E – 1027

The house is on French Riviera. There is a consideration about topographic condition. The slope falls away so that the living area is supported on pillars, while the two-story utility and bedroom area is firmly planted in the ground.

Structure

Showing the main load bearing walls and pillars which supporting the living area.



















Circulation

There are three entrances in this house, so that the circulation is a bit complex. The main circulation is the spiral staircase. It lit from above, leads from the roof down into the servant’s room.


Enclosure

The north side of the house is enclosed by thick walls. However, the south-east side is glazed and can be opened on to terrace, sun and sea. Thus the south east side of the building can merge with the exterior area.



Program

The area which enclosed by thick lines are private area, and the rest of spaces are public area.



Geometry

The two circles form 45o
