Model Progress:

These images show our model in the early phases of construction, around Weeks two and three. Each member of the group was responsible for a different facade, and these images show them all coming together.

We decided to make our section cut through the main set of stairs in the Villa. Not only was this very close to the actual centre of the building, but we thought that having half the stairs on each section would make for the most appealing model.

We also decided that the site was an essential part of the building, and that it was necessary to be included in the model. Unlike other Villa's, the Villa Muller is actually a part of its surroundings, with certain levels underground and the landscape accentuating the buildings presence on the overall site.

Here we can see the progress around Week 4. The interior is beginning to be pieced together. Different group members worked on each side of the interior, whilst other group members worked on the site and roof.

We were unsure whether or not to exclude certain walls that would not be seen when the model was completed. But to make sure that it was as accurate as possible, and in order to get a true 'feeling' for the building when we were constructing it, we opted to model each and every room and wall.
