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.
