The Bath Room

Re-designing the bathroom_Iteration 5

Original Form from previous iterations - including description of areas of space within existing bathroom structure.

Dividing the areas of space into multiple forms or areas of space. For ease of viewing I have colour-coordinated the different areas.

Pink = Bathing

Red = Entry to sister's bedroom

Green = Showering

Blue = Main Entry

Aqua = Sink area

Orange = Wall area

Re designing the space taking into account duration and time spent within the bathroom as realized in my bathroom diary and in the diagrams I created from this.

Elevations are no-longer related to the existing site, they're are no specific N, E, S or W's. The form can be rotated into the space according to other factors apart from existing structure.

Plan view of new layout. Progression is from main entry (blue) to sink (aqua) to shower (green) to bath (pink).

Differentiating the different places where products would be - but actually just imply that the action for doing these occurs here. This references my existing bathroom, and where the various components are.

East Elev with form inside the shell.

West Elev with form inside the shell.

South Elev - can see form penetrating bathroom shell, into my sister's bedroom.

Evokes feeling of being trapped.

Re-designing the bathroom_Iteration 4.1

Iteration 4.1 looks at the form of the bathroom through analysis and reflection of the bathroom diary, translation of movements within the diary into shape and form and transformation of form into spatial gesture.

Sketch of original movement diagram which heavily influence the form of Iteration 4. This highlights the comparison between the movements I make and space I use within the bathroom, and the rectangular room provided.

Re-designing the bathroom_Iteration 4

Developing the movement form into a spatial gesture. The line on the ground plane represents the boundaries of movement that occurred within my bathroom diary over a week-period.

Plan view - the red shape on the ground plane is the movement diagram I created over a week from entries into my bathroom diary. The form symbolizes areas of space I went into throughout that week. It is seen above and below with reference to my existing bathroom shell in Rolleston.
