The Mansion (2024) 图画 由 Nicolas Chammat

Dear members,
Since I was young, I've always dreamt to build a castle.
The restoration of Notre Dame de Paris inspired me to make a sketch of a mansion.
It is not that difficult to create a castle concept. I remember a very great technique taught by my architecture professor, telling me to work by volumes.
For this design castle, I worked with twelve volumes, each representing a tower, intersected randomly, the castle was taking its shape.
I’m not familiar with gothic French architecture, but historically, we can identify in the drawing, from bottom to top:
- Big « Arcades » at the bottom,
- « Triforium » at the mid-height, it is the horizontal division formed of divided arcades,
- « Lancet » windows, it is the vertical-elongated windows,
- « Turrets », it is a relatively small circular towers, usually notably smaller than the main structure, that projects outwards from a wall or corner of that structure. We can count six turrets,
- A flèche, it is the highest tower,
- A Tiffany stained-glass, covering all the facades, between circular and oval shapes.
To keep it modern, I can easily say that the construction is from reinforced concrete.
Hope you like the design creation of a castle for this week.
