some phantasies to make my house more interesting.
Design objectives.
As most creative people I am not much of a business man and the house we live in is modest.
Luckily it is easy to change it in the computer. The changes are modest and I am thinking of much more extreme alterations. Maybe later?
These drawings are an excercise in making one building stand out between others, creating a feel of the neighbourhood.

A nice and extreme variation, is this dome "embedded" in the house, making for a phantatsic, open air living on the topfloor.
The topfloor open on all sides to the sky will make you feel part of the outside.
On the second floor the south facing room will ben enlarged in volume but not in usable surface. The feeling of precipitously hanging on a cave roof ovelooking all below will be overwhelming.
The first alteration is basically extending the house backwards including the roof. This increses toatl volume quite a bit, but it also is a quite bland and simple change.
The second one is more interesting both the roof of the house and the roof of the garage are complemented with a semicircular roof section.
