Concept Outline

My concept is based on the idea of overlapping the thresholds between private and public spaces. My story involves two twin brothers that live together. Although, they are twins, they have clashing personalities. While one brother is outgoing and has many friends, the other brother is shy and quieter in comparison. Instead of creating individual separate structures, this structure caters to the need of both brothers.

The spatial quality of each level determines the amount of occupancy, which incidentally determines which brother will reside on which level.

The conservative brother likes to reside in the smaller and intimate spaces. He is more grounded and enjoys quiet activities like reading, meditating, and watching movies with his best friend.

The outgoing brother has a lot of friends and enjoys the company of many. He enjoys the company of many, therefore he needs spaces that allow for many occupants at one time. He enjoys activities that enjoy larger groups of people like dance parties and dinner parties.

The spaces that are directed for the outgoing brother is more open with a sense of fluidity that allows for easy transition between the two larger spaces in the structure.

The spaces directed to the younger brother are more enclosed. It becomes a protective shell.
