The first obstruction is to take Maison Errazuriz and make it as slender as possible while keeping the square footage and original programs. Push the boundaries. Push yourself and question everything. Take inspiration from other slender buildings and consider the building room by room - think of how you can make each individual room slender, not just the building in general.

Some Questions to Consider:
- What would happen if I changed the shape of the roof - either dramatically or slightly?
- What if the ramp was a staircase? What is it was a residential elevator? What if it was even a ladder?
- What if the pillars were some other kind of structural element instead? Is structure still as needed with the building being so slender?
- What if the building didn't take into account the slope?
- What if the site was changed?
- Should the maids' side stay sticking out or should it be pushed in?
Currently, I am attempting both to build up and to build it out longer while squishing it in and making it thin.

My next step will be to start designing on a more micro than macro level.
