House at Xavier Estate
Design Model: continuous strip, linearity, randomness
The house is located on a rectangular corner lot, with this opportunity of 2 exposed view from the street , we attempted to create a linear model for the house. Even as shown on the plan with the spaces divided by small pocket gardens, the house is bound by a continuous strip.

Continuous Strip
The strip is clearest on the north wall that connects the canopy of the ground floor to the roof eaves then to the wall and back. There is also a strip that binds the dining area to the garage in relation to the massing at the front.

Linearity
Linearity can be seen almost at every aspect , from the plan to the elevations. The flat roof , massing and the random linear strips.
