Digitised: Fusion 360 and Illustrator models

Due to the sloping walls of the space, I was unable to attach a roof that would be flush with the other components. 

Somehow, the Fusion 360 software would not allow me to align components. To get around this I recreated the components, all on the same plane, in another file. I was then able to transfer this to Illustrator, as seen below:

Model 3: Breaking the fourth wall

One of the first ideas that sprung to mind when thinking of ways to attract more light to the space was to demolish the outside wall and window all together. This could be converted to a floor-to-ceiling window or a sliding door and flyscreen. I repurposed a translucent plastic folder to replace this wall. 

Model 2: New materials

The recycled thick cardboard and duct tape used for this model was a more industrial approach. The use of more rigid materials was successful change, and a more accurate spatial representation of the bedroom. The positioning of the window opposite to the door provides a stream of light and air. However, the window seems too small to deter from the claustrophobic dimensions of the space. 

Model 1: Paper Model

My first model, made from A3 sheets of paper and clear sticky tape, is a rudimentary abstraction of the confined living space in which I have been living in isolation. With a high, sloped ceiling and small window, this was not the ideal working/study space.
