My building is generally a part of a villa for a city man to "escape" from his urban life. So I set the ground floor to 2.7m high which is comparingly low then the first floor. This floor is for his study and work room. Concrete platforms, heavy walls and stairs, few openings for light to come in, all the features form a space with pressure and boredom.
However the first floor is a much open space with no glazing but only openings. As I wrote before, the extending platform is the "jumping off" place for this city man to escape from his boring life. All the openings allow the beautiful "Aegean" sunshine and the lovely sea view to go into the house and to attract the man to jump into the sea (scuba diving I mean...). The narrow pathway is kind of pushing the man, so he can't just stay in the room and have to go to enjoy the
new world outside. As Harold said, it's a journey, a journey to help him feel something different.
