Domus development- Mitch

Here is my first development work for Domus, which I worked on before we combined ideas in a group. I started fairly conceptually looking at the creatures that inhabit the desert and how they manage to survive in such a harsh environment as well as how the environment itslef operates, and used these ideas for inspiration. The most noteable ideas I came up with were a scorpion armour inspired structure, which has an outer armour shell to protect the inner space. A tangling steel structure warpping around each other like a tree root with gaps in the material acting as windows. And finally a snake inspired floor plan concept which has rooms curving around an inner courtyard in a natrual and organic way that I though suited the desert environment. The texture of snake skin also interested me as a texture that could be employed for the house.
