Floor plan
golden ratio
The arrangement of the floor plan is based on the golden ratio. Oxman's scientific background combined with her vision of integrating organic and natural systems into design is what sparked the idea of incorporating the golden ratio into the concept.
Transition diagram - from clinical laboratory to fully natural.
growing transition
The intention is to create a home that transitions from a clinical laboratory setting to a natural, organic setting. The progression starts on the left side of the space, including the kitchen and bathroom areas, and transitions through the living room and bedroom before ending with the outdoor patio - the ultimate natural space. The layout gradually incorporates more biomimetic materials and shapes during this shift.
The "served areas" includes the most organic and natural elements as this is where the client relaxes and recharges. The "service areas", such as the kitchen and bathrooms, represents the scientific background of Neri Oxman.
