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.

You have the start of some really interesting interior shots here.
The bubble on the outside could be further developed it seems
At the moment is sits like a ‘blob of jelly’ on the floor.
There seems to be an opportunity to design it more as part of the floor; ‘a swelling of the floor plate’, or even a larger bubble going through the floor plates creating different type of spaces on different levels….
