the splitting edge









This design expresses the ideas and concepts of cutting, slicing and then further explores theresult of what may happen once its been cut.



This concept has been approachedby taking this idea and using it ontwo large masses rother than four.The overall mass is a long curved form which as been sliced in the middlelenghtways to cause it to slide out of place, Creating a horizontal ‘split’ at one end.


Entry from the site to theresidence is located at the splitof the residence. The entrance is a long pavilion.This can be usedas a relaxation area or for access into the residence or garage.


Access from the Pavilion to the residence is allowed by stairs that are located in the garage area.
The two blocks have been made seperate for the purpose that it has been split. Not necessarly from one another but to convey the ideaof the two occupants on each blockliving seperate lives.
