Final Poche Plan and Section:

My Final Poche Plan diagram explores both the enclosed and open spaces within the plan. The darker shaded areas are those which are almost completely enclosed with walls, forming a sense of protection and comfort. Majority of these spaces are private and semi private. The lighter and non shaded areas represent those spaces which are intended to be semi private and public. These areas of the plan easily flow onto the next as a result of being open and "exposed". These are the spaces where one meets with nature to form humble contemplation.


The shading of the Poche also indicates room hierarchy within Can Feliz. I believe that the spaces regarded as the most significant are the public areas and these have all been given special spiritual, aesthetic and structural elements which form this hierarchy. These elements include Rake roofs, substantial views of surrounding nature and significantly large scales as can be seen in the majority of the plan (unshaded spaces).


Within the Poche Section Diagram, similar ideas of enclosure and exposure have been explored. It becomes evident that as one moves from the entrance of Can Feliz through to the swimming pool, more natural lighting has been allowed to enter the spaces and as a result, fewer shadows are formed. The public spaces with high levels of natural lighting become the most appealing spaces to dwell in.
