Analysis:

• My Cabin will be situated in the middle of four other houses and a parklands. I have done this because, my exemplar house, Newmarket House, is sqeezed so tightly between its neighbouring houses.
• Using the same concept ideas as Newmarket House, my Cabin evolves the interior of the house into the exterior, merging them as one.
• Placing the bathroom on the outside of the Cabin was a risky maneuver but i beleive that the concept relates strongly with bring indoors outdoors. It is still under a roof and in a controlled environment but to get to it the occupant must walk over some stepping stones and pebbles.
• Having my bedrooms, Office and Bathroom at a 45 degree angle to the rest of the Cabin really brings forward the notion of zoning. These rooms are the more private areas of the Cabin and looking at the floor plan, the rooms merge into the rest of the spaces but keep to themselves.
• Not keeping with the same aspect as Newmarket house, i have changed the floor materials to Opaque Tiles rather then timber floorboards as i blieve this will illuminate my Cabin to its most fullest potential.
