Architecture Research - Future Shack

Architect: Sean Godsell

Screenshot(s) of website layout

This layout: The very first page of the website is as above. White background, black font. Heading on the left, column next to it are sub categories of his information and the next to columns are links/information of his works.

When you click into his "Future Shack" link, it takes you to this page. Basically just heading on the left (like the previous page), then a picture of the building which aligns nicely with the text in the next two columns. Plain, simple, easy to read/understand, but a little boring?

Therefore, I'm not inspired by the layout. What Iike about it, is his work. Turning a storage container into a nice little shack, which seems to fit quite well in a sense, with my "shed" for Moe. It's small and cosy which is the type of feeling I want to depict with my Shed.

The layout: The background uses just one colour - grey. This makes the background simple, which helps brings out the information/pictures in the middle which is meant to be the attractive part of the website. As it is seen, the grey background sinks to the back whilst the white in the middle makes everything else stand out.

The title is on top of a black strip which helps differ it from the rest of the pictures/information.
With the picture being at the top (underneath the title), it draws the attention of the viewer first, then leads the eye down to the information.

The information isn't in any particularly sharp colour. But it stands out quite nicely but doesn't overtake the pictures. Although there is a lot of text, it isn't hard to read the information because they're aligned nicely and neatly so it doesn't confuse the reader, this is also helped by the three columns the information's put into.
