Final Project - notes


Gound Level

First Floor

-Maximisation of north facing windows. This helps get the lower winter sun into the building providing both warmth and light.
- The open spaces provided between the levels allows for greater communication between the inhabitants and a greater sense of connection. As students we like to be near other students.
- A number of living spaces are provided. One at each end of the building, as students we also like to be away from each other at times. The single large sliding door on the bottom level separates the two areas. Perhaps the living area with the kitchen is a more home type area, as the other living area is connected to the work area.
- Materials – Timber cladding and LVL beams and column
