Here I’m doing a study of how I can manipulate the tower’s facade with simple flips of window panels. The window panels studied here are similar to the panels used in the September 26th elevation study.

I found this multilevel vacation villa and I thought it could be somewhat useful to our project. Although it is residential it does give some good cues for placement of entries and balconies. All the balconies and decks in this villa are pointed towards the bottom of the mountain and gain great light from the sun. The two entrances are on the mountain side of the villa; The primary entrance on the bottom level with access to a multi-car garage, and the secondary entrance on the top floor that leads directly onto the mountain, this entrance includes a storage and prep area for skiing.
