PARTI DRAWINGS

Program

The parti of Villa Can Feliz can be described as a hybrid of the corridor and interconnected room matrix.

The 2 corridors, defined in black, are prominent spatial areas as they act as links connecting the majority of the spaces of the villa.

The spaces with thicker lineweight are the indoor areas and perhaps classified as private spaces while thiner lineweight outlines the outdoor areas which are more public.

Geometry

As seen from the drawing, the 2 long vertical lines divide the villa into 3 sections, while most spaces are usually horizontal, once again defined by the geometry of the lines.

Structure

The load-bearing cavity walls are blackened to suggest that they are the crucial components of the villa's structure, while the columns act as a supporting role to the walls.

It is also important to note in the diagram that, in terms of enclosure, the villa seems to have a high amount of columns in more public areas (right side of the diagram) while the private spaces are "protected" by solid walls (left side).

Enclosure- Plan

The diagram outlines the notion that the building has a lack of any real enclosure. Instead there is a unique blending of the inside and outside, evident by the high amount of openings (mainly glass windows) that the villa has.
As seen in the section diagram below, there is a lack of any horizontal enclosure (lack of any major walls).

Circulation- Horizontal

In terms of circulation, the function of the doors and how they connect each space is significant. The diagram above clearly shows the 'interconnected room matrix' parti of the villa.

The section diagram below outlines how the vertical circulation reflect the tone of the surrounding landscape.
