Floorplay looks at the pure breeding of a house for the purpose of throwing a dinner party setting aside all other considerations. Its plan is organized primarily by a strong center and a boundary.

The proximity and orientation of the core to the building envelope produces spatial hierarchy. Rooms in a traditional sense disappear, there is only ambulation.
