01 The teardown

00 / 08 — assembled

02 Anatomy

The house,
in eight parts.

Each stage of the teardown is a line in the schedule. The numbers below are the numbers above — pick a spoke to scrub the model to that stage.

±0.00 +7.2
Fig. A — the teardown, radially indexed 01–08.
01 Roof plane 289 m² One continuous teak plane, 2.7 m eaves, no valleys. It lifts first.
02 Eaves & chimney 68 lm The shade is structural — the edge work leaves with the roof.
03 Upper floor 240 m² Five suites and the gallery. No suite shares a wall.
04 Great room 86 m² Double height, opens west across the terrace to the water.
05 Ground walls 234 m² Kitchen, study, service wing — the working half of the plan.
06 Pool terrace 78 m² A 25 m lap pool along the west edge, sky in it all day.
07 The gardens 9,700 m² Mango and frangipani hold the plot; the house takes a fifth of it.
08 The plinth 560 m² Everything returns to place. Then you walk it standing.

04 Process

Model, split, story.

Step one — model

One mesh, borrowed.

The house is a single mesh from Kenney’s CC0 suburban city kit — downloaded, credited, and untouched on disk. Roof, chimney, dormers and walls all live in one buffer of triangles.

Everything the study says about it — areas, levels, the schedule — is drawn from that geometry, not invented after the fact.

Step two — split

Twenty-four islands.

At load, a union-find pass welds vertices by position and walks the triangles into their real connected components — then slices the tall shells into roof, upper and ground bands. Twenty-four islands, each with its own centroid, travel direction and roll.

No geometry is authored for the effect. The tear pulls apart what was actually there.

Step three — story

Scroll is the spine.

The runway above maps your scrollbar to a smoothstep curve: the roof leaves first, the floors follow, and the camera walks a 150° arc — never a full orbit, never a lurch. At the end, everything settles home.

The walkthrough film mounts below when it is graded; the frame is already drawn for it.

Walk it in the west light.

The study is walked with one family at a time, always at half past five, when the model’s long shadows match the drawings. Price on request.
