Pittman Dowell Residence / Michael Maltzan Architecture / 2010 / Los Angeles, California
In analyzing the interior-exterior relationship of the Pittman Dowell Residence, I extrapolated on the implied linearity of movement through the space, reinforced by the triangular division articulated in plan. The space, however, is not truly linear as suggested by the interpretation of a continuous wrapping in elevation; the point of intersection is indicated in the circulation and emphasized by repeating the angle in the overlapping elevations.
This drawing of the Pittman Dowell Residence includes an elevation oblique so as to depict the point of intersection, which was previously highlighted, and illustrate the point about which the main internal divisions radiate. In dividing the house, there is a linear relationship evident within each of the three parts, which become increasingly public with distance from the point of radiation (or closeness to the viewer), which is also reinforced by the tightness of the more private areas.
