Project 2: Final revised
For the final revised final, I decided to change rood slap into a roof garden in living areas of the double house. As the building drops level the roof garden provide view of continuous landscape when looking from the office space in the gallery.
Project 2: Final
In the final design, I tried to resolve the program to become tighter and more rational.
That was to get rid of the odd looking balconies and instead focus on making sure each of the rooms actually works. I tried to consider more carefully where and how to position different area of the building in relation with the view and the light; where and how big should each window be. In this final stage, I used the diagonal line connecting end points of the two neighbor to be the line that define the diagonal shape of the building and the courtyard. As a result, the courtyard is completely out from the influence of the two tall building on the two sides, making it having a lot more opportunity for sun and light access.
I also think about the materials I think the building should have. Brick and wood for living area, ceramic tiles and glass for galleries. I also want to express the functions of the building in its street elevation: domestic and public. The result is that the building has a street elevation combined from wood, glass and ceramic tile. As the a mount of material shifting from wood to ceramic and glass from left to right, the functions of the building behind this facade is also shifted: from the more domestic part to the more public part.

Project 2: Double House/Garden: Sketch design 2
In this the goal of design, the desire to keep the building in contact with Rowen Place and the idea of the courtyard between the two houses are maintained.
In order to solve the problem about the high neighbors and sunlight. I decided to push the building far back to the site as much as possible so that the courtyard and main facade of the two house can get away from the shadow of the neighbors. This resulted in making the building line diagonal. The gallery spaces are to completely separate from living areas. Another courtyard sit in between gallery spaces and living spaces of the art collector.
Because of the desire to increase interaction between the two occupants, I designed for the living room, kitchen, laundry of the two house at the same level. In the art collector house, these are located at lower lever so that sleeping area on the upper one with the modern view of the city. In the father house, these are locate at upper level. The most private parts (study and sleeping area) are at the lower with the view of the ancient looking Rowen Place. This arrangement is based on my thought about the different in generation between the occupants. The old and the young. The new and the ancient. The quiet and the robust. The modern and the preserve.

Level 1Project 2 Double House/Garden: Initial design.
The double house is for an art collector and her father. The requirement that the double house also has to have a public area which serves as Gallery. The design goal is to create an living space that can provide a living space that can encourage the communication between the two occupants, a public space that celebrates the present of art works but at the same time doesn't violate the privacy aspect of the house. I also found two opposite aspects of the site that were interesting. The wide city view when looking straight west and the view of an massive, ruinous looking brick arches when looking down low at Rowen Place. It is the desire to keep provide as much contact with this more quite view that I decide to drop the building levels.
Therefore, in the initial design, I made two houses separate by a small courtyard. The bigger one for the art collector incorporate gallery space for the public. the smaller one at the back of the site, dropped down two level is for the father.
The problem with this scheme is in the circulation and program planning. Another issue is as the site is sandwiched between two high building, the courtyard, designed as it was then would always in shading and virtually never get any sunlight.
