Starting the design process begins with a problem and beginning to solving it. As the designer this is what are you being asked to do. To catalyze this process a designer will search for inspiration, a place to begin creatively solving the problem. The inspiration for the Gregory home was a quote: Home is a place not only of strong affections, but of entire unreserve; it is life's undress rehearsal, its backroom, its dressing room. ~Harriet Beecher Stowe
These abstract 2D sketches explore the key ideas and words taken from the inspirational quote in a visual form. They are done very quickly and loosely, to keep them simple and creative. The second to last thumbnail was taken and explored in a series of 3D thumbnails. These thumbnails were turned into 3 quick sketch models in 3D. The best ideas from the models were taken and used to create a final model that embodied the concept words and key ideas in a tangible 3D form. 
This model is the jumping off point for designing the space and floor plan of the Gregory home. Taking it's qualities and applying them to a floor plan. With the revision of the plan as a next step the model will undergo revisions. Both the plan and model are under developed, but with revised concept and statement for the Gregory home the new model will soon be made.
