CONSTRAINTS
The two Employee Housing buildings are located down the hill from the Hotel's Guest Cabins. The Employee Housing needed to maintain a lower roof height to not impede on the views from the Guest Cabins. The two Employee Housing buildings also needed to be the same form to save on construction costs.

ITERATIONS
iPad sketches were focused on how to break-up the massing of the two large Employee Housing buildings, initially while keeping everything on the same plane to reduce costs. Selected options were then developed and further pushed in Revit.
I designed and modeled all iterations in Revit, with renders pulled by the Rowland+Broughton visualization team. Existing site was modeled in Revit to ensure the design correctly worked with the slope.
SELECTED DESIGN
Once the massing settled, final SD refined the design and included a louver language, also used at the Guest Cabins up the hill, to provide access to ancillary program: fire riser, outdoor storage, and crawl space access.
