ARCH 1201 Project 1 Villa Can Feliz





In Utzon's design, the roof is one of the characteristics of the villa, especially the curved ceiling, classic and delicate. The solid walls show a very strong and stable feeling of the villa, and columns or posts attract your eyes look throught the interiority of the villa.

Utzon's design is from nature because the villa is located on the cliff, so his use of natural materials such as sandstone is to form a unified relation to the surroundings. Also, his interests on the openness and firmness are completely performed on the villa, which give a very bright vison of the entire space of this villa.

As you can see from the images, we did the complicated curved ceiling underneath the roof by using balsa wood, which took us ages to deal with it, but finally it is beautiful and decorative when we finished the ceiling. I also really appreciate the three big french windows in the front of the building, which allow the sun light coming into the house. We did grass, trees and stone because we think the whole house is a product of nature, from nature and located on nature.

Our group made great efforts to model of the villa, because we want to show our deep understanding of villa can feliz. In the model progress, we got a struggle on the site because the villa was built along the site, and all of dimensions have to be so accurate that we can figure the model out.
