Final Model:

Here we can see one half of the completed model from the exterior. It shows how the building sits in relation to the site, and emphasises the cube like design that Adolf Loos was trying to achieve. As Loos mentioned the exterior gives nothing away to the complexities that lay within its walls.

This shows the same side as above, but looks at the section plane on which we decided to cut. It shows the spacial design technique of Raumplan with its split-levels. It also shows how the earth surrounds the lower levels of the Villa.

This is the exterior of the other half of our model. Once again the cube like design of Loos is easily identified along with its relationship to the site. As a group we were very happy with the way the exterior came out. Our tutor mentioned that the most successful models did not draw the viewers attention to edges and joins, and we believe our exterior is both smooth and flowing, with no unnecessary lines that draw the observers attention away from the overall structure.

The interior of our model we believe was equally successful. This image shows the second half of the model, including all walls and rooms. Our decision to cut the model through the main stairs proved to be a rewarding one, with an aesthetically appealing final product.

The model was overall quite a challenging task. As an Architectural Computing student model making isn't exactly our expertise, but it was good to have the practice and study a new building. It also tested our skills when working with other students which is always a worthy exercise.
