How the model was built
Rebuilt from six drawings.
The model above was rebuilt in Blender from six drawings and nothing else: the three floor plans and three long sections that survived from the 2011 presentation set.
Reconstruction notes
Plans, sections and site contours brought back into one model.
The geometry was rebuilt from the surviving presentation set, cross checking the floor plans and long sections against each other.
The lower residence now meets the site through a continuous stair cut, retaining walls and a modern planted buffer that keeps the terrain clear of the windows.
Where dimensions were absent, repeated structural bays, doors, stairs and known level changes established the working scale.
