Architectural Massing Study

See how your building idea could take shape around a courtyard, a roofline and its surroundings.

The starting idea

A small coastal library made from three limestone volumes around an open planted courtyard, with a roof terrace facing the ocean.

Start with

  • An idea

Where could you take it?

  • A hillside reading room with a sheltered terrace and a long view across the valley.

  • A small community pavilion arranged around a shaded courtyard.

Limitations

Inspect access, scale and roof connections with a designer. Use the image to discuss forms; work out dimensions and construction in a measured plan.
