Design development



Once i had my design layout i needed to focus more on the 3dimensional aspect and sectional imagery.
The sketches to the left indicate ideas that i explored including:

- a second roof for solar panels
- louvers opposite the double doors for cross ventillation
- eaves to protect against the sun
- skylights for max. natural lighting
- air flow between roofs for cooling

I also decided to create the house as an "origami house" this was to solve my demountable issue. What it means is that all the walls, roofs and floors fold flat and can be put onto a truck or the likes for transport. Then once at the site it can unfold and set up to become the house exterior. once set up all the furniture etc will be added to fill the house. This also saves energy and cost as well as space and the obvious, creating a demountable home. Images for this idea will be shown in the model area.
