Building for Jonathan Ive

I created a huge skylight crossing the roof(might takes up half area of it!) to get the natural lighting for Jonathan Ive in the beginning.  Then i realized that interior space will be exposed in the sun all year long which is not beneficial for building in snowing mountain. Thus I minimized it into the size.

The stairs on the gound level connected the building with environment will be the only access to the building. Because it is the place coverd by heavy snow, I tended to create a building seated above the ground with several posts( adding soon).

The door in the side facada is related the edge of opening on the second floor.



Overall,  I feel like creating 2 storeys building for Jonathan Ive, according to the article says that Jonathan Ive was about going back to UK because he wanted his children to get education there and stay with family. Therefore, he mighe be the person who cares about family alot. In this case, I designed first floor for his family and second one which is quite illuminating for his business running here.
