mock-up models - C6 celeste cafra + carl naidoo + ben fagan-nolan


Modelling the 'sail' roof concept proved harder then imagined, it was difficult to record the exact angles and shape when you are working with material, which makes it difficult to merry the model and drawings. Using pins was a fast and efffect way to visual the dwelling.
Once we defined the two spaces and decided to seperate then by a change in levels, a physical drop in step rather then a partition or series of doors, these models show our approach to this, and another attempt at the roof, molding copper and welding wire to create the shape which coudl then be cladded.

Modelling another potential roof structure roughly at a scale of 1:200


We were really happy with this model, using fine foam we scored it to define the forms and the pins acted as the structural supports. From this the final roof concept evolved. Roughly at a scale of 1:200

Constructing the roof at a bigger scale 1:100 and positioning the individual buildings underneath gave us an idea of space and adjustments that needed to be made.
