Spaces Diagrams

Here are two different variations of how the spaces can be organized. The colored boxes represent spaces identified in the legend on the far right. The Diagrams are in Normal form and Exploded form so that it can be better understood.

Variation 4

Here is the study model of the floor plan diagram labeled Variation 4.

Variation 3

Here is a study model of the floor plan diagram labeled Variation 3. 

Floor Plan Diagrams

These are four different Floor Plan variations that can be made with the Group Home. The first level starts from the left

Group Home Capacity

In my research, I developed an average capacity of occupants within the Group Home, excluding faculty and staff.

Capacity: 60 occupants;       Babies (Birth - 2 yrs.)      10
                                             Toddlers   (3 - 6 yrs.)      20
                                             Children  (7 - 12 yrs.)      20
                                             Teens    (13 - 17 yrs.)      10

Site Strategy

The site needs to have two halves. One space for indoors and the other for outdoors, and they are given almost the same amount of space; 50/50. Here are some different ways the site can be broken down in terms of indoor space and outdoor space.

These are some conceptual sketches of potential variables of the building frame, using methods of pulling and pushing the strips derived from the study model.
