Building Typology

Upon reading Anu’s post, I have selected the “Cave/Bunker” type (more so Bunker than Cave). I have chosen the Bunker as the core concept of my building is for it’s patrons to escape and find shelter from the outside world, where one can be removed and fully immersed in their “conversations”.

The related case study was also very interesting and had common ideas to my building. Some notes on the Box Home:

• “peaceful”
• “small”
• “urban cave”
• exterior – unassuming
• opening types
• few windows
• material usage – varied, “internally, a different species of wood was chosen for each room”. The effect these timber rooms have.
• size – “19 square metre dwelling with four rooms covering the basic living functions”
• use of a ladder - possible use in secluded room
