design and thumbnails

After measuring and size came the design.
my 3 designs in thumbnail representation are as seen to the left.

We had to name each and come up with 2 positives for each design.

Design 1: Rectalinear box on metal beams.
- Compact space
- all wet areas together
- bifold onto water for ventilation

Design 2: Caravan with expandable end.
- Reduce hallways with ‘L’ shape
- open plan (multiple uses)

Design 3: 2 storey Tetris
- stilts for ventilation around building

- deck to open area (appear bigger then it is)

From here, using our 3 designs and their positives we had to combine them to come up with a 4th design that would in theory be our Minima solution. below is my design. its positives are :
- bifold onto water for ventilation
- Reduce hallways with ‘L’ shape
- open plan (multiple uses)
- deck to open area (appear bigger then it is)
- Compact space
- North orientation for maximising sun usage.


It also had its negatives. The main 2 being:
- how do i make it demountable?
- can i make it smaller?
To imporve my design and the goal of Minima i had to find a way to make it demountable and reduce the size by half.
