FINAL PROJECT. TINY HOUSE PROJECT
INTRODUCTION TO SPATIAL DESIGN
PROGRESS
WE WERE GIVEN A 7 WEEKS' WINDOW OF COMPLETION SINCE ANNOUNCMENT OF THE PROJECT BRIEF.
WEEK 1
/ WATCH THE MOVIE INSIDE OUT
​
/ PRODUCE CLIENT BRIEF IN FORM OF SKETCHES AND DIAGRAMS
The project brief was given to us on the first week and hence I went online to view the movie.
My assigned character was Disgust. She was portrayed with overprotective personalities. As so, I went on the idea of letting her face her inner fears and from there gain confidence to open up freely to her peers in the end.
WEEK 2
​
​
/ PRODUCE BUBBLE DIAGRAMS
- to exhibit the spatial relations within the head cube space
​
/ PRODUCE INITIAL SKETCHES
- reflect the initial ideas of the head space
After coming up with detailed analysis on my client, I then proceeded with sketching the head space that I had in mind for her.​
Hence I came out with some sketches reflecting key information of her such as her height, personalities and etc.
Some massing studies was also conducted.
WEEK 3
/ PRODUCE MOCK-UP MODELS
/ PRODUCE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT SKETCHES
- massing studies, sectional sketches, diagrammatic sketch
I transformed the sketches that I've compiled into a mock-up model to understand the relationship between the planes and volume of the 3 tiers.
​
Some sketches were also produced to illustrate the profile line of my model as well as the general idea of it.

WEEK 4
I've finalized my design approach besides finetuning the ideas based on the comments provided by my tutor based on the mock-up model.
​
The materials incorporated were modelling board, reflective paper, compressed foam board and etc.
/ PROGRESS ON WITH PROGRESS ON WITH FINAL MODEL
​
/ PRODUCE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT SKETCHES WITH HUMAN FIGURES
- anthropometric and ergonomics studies
WEEK 5
I've completed my final model after 3 weeks of work time.
The snapshots was taken properly with my smartphone according to the guideline provided in brief.
/ FINALIZE FINAL MODEL
WEEK 6
After wrapping up the model, I progressed on with the presentation board. It is where I compiled all my ideas together and provided sketches as supporting material.
I started off with an A1 digital board in Photoshop.
/ PROGRESS ON WITH PRESENTATION BOARD
- include all sketches, diagrams, snapshots and descriptions
WEEK 7
I wrapped up the presentation board and recorded a video to explain about my concept and ideas based on the presentation board produced.
I've also produced 2 rendered using pen, ink and watercolor to exhibit the context and ambiance of the model that I have in mind.
​
I cross checked every item again to make sure their ready for submission.
/ PRODUCE RENDERED DRAWINGS MANUALLY
​
/ TO COMPLETE PRESENTATION BOARD
​
/ TO FINAL CONFIRMATION FROM TUTOR BEFORE SUBMISSION
/ RECORD VIDEO OF EXPLANATION ON PRESENTATION BOARD

REVIEW
This final assignment was indeed a perfect wrap up for this module. We were required to channel all the spatial design skills and knowledge that we acquired from previous assignment and further develop them into suiting a subject's characteristics and needs. Development from sketches into mock-up models and finally an actual head space cube in proportionate to the character's assumed height; an average teenager height. Various measurements were taken into consideration to be incorporated with the design principles and approaches. We were exposed to a wide range of new terms and knowledge including ergonomics study that we never came across previously.
