Below are some of my new sheets, with measurements etc.  i have also begun to make my models and these are the ones i’ve made with the laser cutter.  i’ve still got to paint them.  im also working on my renders to get some really good shots of the dweltel.

After speaking with ephraim, we discussed the way in which the dweltel was enclosed by the partitions.  The partitions were not doing the dweltel justice and did not fit in with the rest of the design.  Ephraim spoke about cocooning the dweltel so it was all enclosed.  I really liked this idea and so looked at actual cocoons to get my shape design.  It is organic and curved and so i felt fitted in well with what i wanted.  I have also extended the cocoon so that it it protrudes slightly from the centre point building.  It is almost like a balcony but enclosed.  I also thought about what julia said and using colour on it so i made it an opaque green (taken from the cocoon) and this then provides some privacy but also allows light through the space.

The dweltel also needed to have a bathroom in it.  I have designed this to fit into one of the sections of the cocoon and i based my design to fit in with the cocoon shape.  This is now ensuring that all the needs of the user are met with the dweltel.

These are not my final renders, im still working on getting a few key really good images and working on my section and elevation within centre point as at the moment they look like floating jelly.

This is just another way the dweltel could be implemented in the space.  I dont like it as much as the deluxe dweltel however.  It could be as its not as warped and organic as the furniture and so doesnt look right.
