We decided on using Kakadu as our site. After alot of preliminary discussion and ideas thrown about we have all done some sketches and then merged the best ideas into one design. The main issues we wanted to resolve in the design were: - ability to obtain power (solar) - ability to catch water - ability to provide ventilation - resistance/harness of wind - ability to close off the guest section during times when it isn't being used - a structure which is buildable - a structure which makes sense given the surrounding environment The following are a few of the initial sketches:
The structure will be raised off the ground to provide ventilation will flow through the structure. Louvres allow air movement and a central fireplace creates a focal point and community area in the centre of the building.
