repetition, yes but no, lets consider the spaces that will form
The trestles are up for the second Murcutt/Lewin House. The fabrication of the steel some 27 tonnes is well underway. The bricks have been ordered and the team has a feeling that it now knows where it is going which in itself is very exciting, why because the team has a lot of pride in it's work, a desire to deliver. Whilst the first house was difficult in many ways, as it was open for interpretation and occasionally has resulted in correction, this next house is identical to the first but there is a but!
What is the but? Well now we are going to look at the spaces, the form between buildings and how the spaces will change, no longer will we be looking at a building in it's landscape alone, but now it will be a collection of buildings in the landscape.
How we look and feel in these spaces will be interesting as first we move to two, then three, followed by four and finally five Murcutt/Lewin houses, identical but they have been orientated to specfic angles, whilst the land falls away beneath each of the houses, the ffl for each is a constant, now we look at the arrangement, how they interact and how a collection of people will eventually interact in occupying these houses, this is a first for to the best of my Knowledge in that there will be no other collection of Murcutt/Lewin houses in such close proximity so just how will they ineract and read in the landscape? Well construction time will begin to answer these questions.
What is interesting is that first great wall, which has no windows, that wall of confidence will not be exposed in spendid isolation as the spaces between these houses are formed, that is a shame, though I am sure it will be interesting once the walls of Murcutt No.3 are built, then we can consider these spaces and why about the form individually and collectively how the others will form spaces. So the next step will still be writing about the construction but now also look at the urban style spaces that are to form.
What was or is influence for this layout?
