Light To Improve Spaces
I wanted to explore the idea of having play of light as a form to improve
and enhance the spaces inside. By experimenting with the amount and
natural lighting as its source, it can be used to highlight and enhance the
architectural design, improving the aesthetics of the space 1. This was
explored further from the models I made from the first showing how the
original room looked like with a simple opening for light to enter in, to the
last model with additions of windows, skylights and frames to allow different
amounts of light to enter in, improving different spaces for different functions,
proving that light can improve spaces.

Material Combination 1:
Steel
Concrete
Timber
For the first combination of materials, I chose to use mainly
heavy materials such as steel and concrete as its facades and
frames to give the idea of how the room can appear heavy
and solid as a whole, placed in a virtual setting of the gloomy
Scandinavian backdrop, where selected openings allow light to
enter in at different angles, lighting up spaces to show the
contrast from the background.
Material Combination 2:
Timber
Oak
Mahogany
Steel
For this, I chose mainly wood textures to be all around the
room, apart from the steps, balcony walls and the railings
as I wanted to show how this room will appear light and airy
given how wood can give that effect even with the many
openings around. Placed in a virtual background in the forest,
the choice of materials complement the setting, already letting
light to enter in and soften the spaces inside.
Material Combination 3:
Concrete
Timber
Dark Oak
For this, the combination was a mixture of concrete, timber
and dark oak placed in a virtual setting near the beach. The
choice of materials was to show how they can work together,
achieving a sense of how heavy and light materials can work
, allowing light to enter in at different spaces.

Process Sketches
This Sketch shows the introduction of the different levels into
my room to have different functions for different spaces where
the extension of the balcony extrudes out and a mezzanine level
is added to the top for a study space.
The addition of a skylight at the top level allows natural light
to enter in and goes all the way down to the ground floor where
the mezzanine level follows the opening from the the roof. The
facades of the top level also has full opening windows to allow
maximum light to enter for the study and viewing space.

Model Images
Final Model showing the windows at different openings to
allow natural light in as a way improve the spaces inside.
Sectional Model showing the skylight at the top which allows
lights to enter in from the top all the way down with the different
frames and slats all around to play with the amount of light that
enters, aiding with the improvement of the space.
When light enters in from the side, due to the large full openings
at the side facades, the whole space is well lighted up, making
the whole space to be fully lighted with natural light.
The skylight opening at the top allows for natural light to enter in and
come in all the way down to also light up the ground floor and the
mezzanine levels all around. With the openings all around, this allows
the whole room to have natural light coming in at all angles when needed.
Video showing how light enters in the room from different times of the day and
how it impacts the internal spaces inside, creating spaces made from the
amount and shape of the light that enters in.
