Week 4 - Project 1: The Artifice

Our precedent study villa was Eileen Gray's Tempe a Pailla, in Castellar France. This villa is an excellent example of a good mix between the indoors and outdoors. It's special features are the windows and louvres which let the natural light in, and also provide an open view of the beautiful surroundings of ocean and mountains.


Here are my Parti and Poche drawings.
