A pattern language in a writer's retreat (Theory Reading #4)

Some of the patterns from the article A Pattern Language that I think would be important to integrate into my design proposal for the writer's retreat would be placing important rooms towards the south so they will get sufficient light, placing common rooms in the center of circulation in a chain of rooms with a looping circulation, having an entrance room, and most importantly organizing the spaces from public at the front of the house and private at the back of the house.  The entrance room is important in this space for when people come over for the readings, when students come for discussions, or for when colleagues come to collaborate over work they will have a place to enter the space.  The rooms where most of the work is done such as the kitchen, living room, study, and dining room should be positioned properly to receive sufficient amounts of natural lighting.  I think the most important pattern is the one of organizing the house from public to private as it goes from the front entrance to the back of the house.
The pattern for this should be:

• entrance - front
• public
• semi-public
• private - back

This way there is enough area for the person living there to have space to meet with people while still being able to maintain their privacy.  The rooms such as the bathroom and common room should be placed somewhere between the public space and the private space so that they can be easily accessed from both ends of the house.  I think that for the purpose of this space the most efficient way to organize there rooms would be with a chain of rooms that have a looping pattern of circulation so that instead of having corridors to connect the spaces the are connected by moving through the rooms and then having the private spaces at the back separate to ensure the person living theres' privacy.  All of these patterns are going to be important in the design of this house to make it as efficient as possible.
