and in the beginning, there were potentials, and from this a 'weaving' variation was borne....

the connection i have made between andrew denton and jennifer byrne to this weaving potentials is that which relates to the editing element in the nature of their work...

i have applied the the concept of weaving in relation to the placement of spaces of the home on the site; weaving the spaces in regard to what exists on the site.

weaving also provides the revealing and concealing elements to the home, as it weaves it is not revealed in a single view potentially extending privacy.

i have employed several of the archtectonic results from this weaving variation as the spaces for the home for andrew, jennifer and connor, and although they may seem somewhat quirky, i believe both andrew and jennifer would have a sense of humour to embrace this digital concept. (funnily, it almost looks Logie-like in plan, something andrew has been nominated for!) i chose the shapes from the weaving variation that mimicked the smooth undulations of the land, the swirling westerly winds of the location and the peaks of the ocean.

my intention is provide this family with a home that supports their potential need for time out of the limelight, during the period where there television recording commitments cease - the summer months of the year. a home which responds to the individual, the family as a whole, and to the possibility of extended family or guests during the festive period through provisions of combined spaces and private spaces where connection with the site, its surrounds and elements of sun, sky, vegetation and sea are incorporated.
