ZIONE GROSSHUESCH
The Isometric view shows a room carved out of a pentagonal truncated pyramid. The room features a rectangle passageway and three windows that allow natural light to enter the space from different angles. The room was designed as a rain catcher, with the interior walls shaped as a truncated cone breaking through the boundaries of the exterior walls at the top of the cone. This allows both natural light and rain to cascade down the interior walls.
From this elevation, one can start to see the placement of windows as they cut through the walls. A three-dimensional letter Y lying on its side was used to carve out the windows, allowing the occupant to see in multiple directions. One of the windows is cutting through two of the exterior pentagon walls creating a spatial void.
These openings allow for natual light and shadows to form patterns on the inteiror walls at various times of the day.
This section cut offers a glimpse into the interior room. The curved openings at the top of the walls allow for rain and sunlight to run down the walls and create a waterfall effect. This is made possible by the truncated cone being larger at the top then at the bottom. The roof above allows the occupant to not be directly rained on and provides some form of shade.
