From analysing structural and non structural aspects of Can Feliz, it becomes apparent that private and semi private areas are surrounded and closed in by numerous walls. However, the public spaces are all quite open, exposed and free flowing to the next space. This sense of openness begins to dictate the spaces where guests and other visitors are welcome and free to move within. The structural elements such as walls, become not only physical but also psychological "barriers".
Solar Analysis of site:
It is evident that throughout the building's plan, the harsh sun hits each of the public areas designed solely for entertainement, contemplation, relaxation and other public and social related activities whilst the semi public and private areas receive only filtered light from the exterior.
Spacial Analysis of Building:
Within Can Feliz, Utzon has dedicated majority of the plan to become "public spaces". Within the Parti Sketch above, I have attempted to highlight these public spaces to demonstrate the significant scale in contrast to the smaller private and semi private areas. The public spaces I have highlighted above has been given special treatment by Utzon within
the design of the house, and there are many aesthetic differences between these public spaces and the private rooms.
Different Functions for each Space and Room:
1. Entrance
2. Entry
3. Court
4. Work Room
5. Living Room
6. Kitchen
7. Dining Room
8. Covered Terrace
9. Bedroom
10. Terrace
11. Swimming Pool
The public spaces within the Plan are shaded lighter to represent the harsh sunlight these areas will receive. The private areas have been shaded darker representing the filtered light that will reach these spaces. It is evident that spaces for entertaining and socialising guests etc dominate the plan.
