Concept

From Miranda Kerr quotes, the idea of nature , healthy feels are the first few point coming out. Also from for official web site, many nature views had been posted.

"Was such a beautiful weekend by the ocean ❤"
- Miranda Kerr's Instagram

Showing that Miranda Kerr and her son love close to nature. A designed house should have enough area for her family to enjoy nature.

"My Grandpa with his favorite toy ❤"
 - Miranda Kerr's Instagram

Back to her family background, she is quite related to Aussie landscapes, even from her grandpa. 

"Sunshine through the trees in NYC ☀❤"
- Miranda Kerr's Instagram

Although this instagram is taking from NYC, this shows what Miranda Kerr love sunshine and she did feel interested with the light penetrate through the leaves.

So in conclude, from her quotes, image she took and the public image, natural and lightness is the key concept of the house.

Besides the concept is lightness, the aim of making this model also have the same concept. In theory, changing the model's center of mass could let it have the other side lift up like the draft.

The location of the house will set to Sydney as Miranda Kerr was born in Sydney. The shape of the house will be the abstracted Australia continent and following the North as getting more environmental consideration in the allocation of the program of the house. Was planned to have one floor for everything and the roof become gardens so Miranda Kerr can enjoy sun baths on top of the roof.

By searching the different landscapes of Australia to generate the suitable and related landscape for both the site and roof.

The imagined site was locate at Rose Bay. You may argue that in her quote she would like to live at the country side. I suggested that it is not convenience for her who need to fly all over the world for her job. So Rose Bay in Sydney where viewing the iconic harbor bridge and Opera House is a good choice for her .

Concept

From the quotes of Kate Moss, try to extract the idea from her to a concept. I am not going to argue is it right or wrong for the skinny feels which make a huge discussion  in the public before. I will focus more on " Show inside to outside" as it also is a traditional issue of architecture. What is inside? what is out side.

To fulfill this whaffle structure is always in my mind. I willing to try using Kate Moss body shape as a starting point and generate the house in the concept.

As a concept the draft i draw is just meaningless curves. Russel suggest to use actual body line, so i looking any shape is suitable to make it be come a house. there for i choose Kate Moss's lips. Although you may argue lips cannot show the skinny feels, i think the magic is how skinny feels inside her mind will announce to the world through her mouth/ lips and her idea become outside and create the image of Kate Moss. In which the chimney of the house will link a body shape curve of her and be come icon of the house.





























Back to the whaffle structure, it create the shape of the lips, however on the other hand it dun have any cover and it is hardly define the space under the structure is inside or outside.

The actual bed room is just one meter wide which is the skinny feels "inside". Surrounded by semi-transparent glass block door will allow her to show herself at night.

Final design on Agyness Deyn House

Still the same concept before ( Plan ) but i try to make the angle more soft and playful to give more characteristic to the design. Which fit the playful idea I have before (Concept ). Merging the floor space into one give more flexible and changeable interior to Agyness who really like to change a lot.

Super structure lift the floor up to create different to the normal standard house design. Sharp but curve, thick at edge and thin at the middle slap create light punky style. 

Holes on the facades will project the shadow onto the floor and give pizza topping like shape and refer to Agyness's memory of her father.
