Week 4: Scale & Detail
Step 1: Choose a part to focus on
A very important part of my dream house is the tree that penetrates the roof and reaches the terrace,to offer many activities and views on the mountains.So I decided to focus on a garden roof terrace on the top of my dream house.
The space will accommodate the action of greeting one another, relaxing,having a snack or lunch,eating,reading books and generally having fun and gathering in the roof while having views to the forest inside the mountains.

Step 2: Take a moment to ponder
My guiding theme of Week 3 was to locate my dream house in the edge of a snowy mountain inside a forest full of pine trees.That means that the garden roof terrace needs to be designed as natural as possible and with good quality and articulation of spaces,in order to be a nice place to seat,talk and admire the view to the mountains in all seasons of the year.
For that reason,I decided that I want to create a large dining room under a sheltered space(pergola) to sit when the weather is not the ideal while the other half part will have a large L shaped couch to read and relax around the atrium of the house with the tree leading to the roof.Also I added some greenery to enhance my garden in the roof and to make the environment more friendly.

Research on garden roof terraces
Step 3: Research ergonomics
Step 4: Collect materials and sketch the details for your design
I used for my model simple and natural materials for my detailed roof terrace such as balsa wood,wooden pillars for the pergola part,white and grey foam and a branch and leaves for the tree inside the yard as long as brown sand for the soil and green features for some plants and green areas for my garden terrace.
Step 5: Make one small but precise detail of your design
