Cabin Design

The Reason I changed my design was because, I didn't consider the visual from street and the privacy of the neighbours and high rise building. I relocated the front door, demolished the carport I initially placed in front of my main entry. I rised up the building level because of the vision from pedestrian. I moved the stair case into somewhere not on the way to anything, because it is only built for people access from one level to another. I changed the kitchen bench, and relocated them and added another toilet on the ground floor, for people to easly access, and keep the main bathroom a private area. I added a cortyard on the back of the house where I used to place my back door at, demolished the playroom which was located on the second floor. I opened up my northern wall on the second floor to get sunlight inside the house. Last but not least, I placed a folding door between the study room and living dining room, so that when the architect want some accpany, or when they need bigger living room, they can always open the door, to make the room bigger.

To integrate with the site, I placed my living room on the north east corner to get the best view in the house on ground floor. I placed a fence of 1.75 metres to make sure the vision of pedestrian cannot see through the interior of the living room.

I have been make sure that I meet the main idea and concept of the architect's examplar house by the following points:
- the study room can be accessed easily from the main living area.
- kitchen was the main feature in the house.
- public space are separted from private space which will be located on different level.
- up stair bedroom are act like a canopy, by over hanged them on top of the deck.
- the private space and public space can flow to each other smoothly.
- integrate with the landscape and surrounding.

Diagrams and Analysis

I did some exploration and analysis of ideas for the examplar house, and applied into my own cabin design.

Design Process

The following are my initial design for my cabin design.

Site Analysis

This site has a lots of trees around it. Also, there is a park on the northern side of the site and a golf court on the east of the site.

Ventilation in Brisbane are mainly focused on the south west side of the site towards the north east side.

People movement are most likely on the foot path. There are also some people movement on the neighbourhood street.

The setback on the site was 10 metres to the east, 1 metre to the south, and 2.5 metres to both south and west.

More noises come from the south side at day time cost by heavey traffic, and more noises on the high rise building from the day time.
