Project 3: Design Principles

The following is a list of design principles that our group came up with and will follow for project 3.
  • Polished concrete floors - where applicable (thermal mass)
  • Rammed Earth? (possible use on some walls - thermal mass)
  • Timber structure - recycled, box beams? (interior)
  • Concrete columns - outdoor feature
  • Sliding door feature - where applicable (project 1)
  • Earthy colours
  • Bricks? (recycled of course!)
  • Vast expanses of glass (preferably north facing)
  • Built-in furniture - recycled timber (tie in with sliding doors)

Note: Principles are subject to change!
