Cabin Design - Site Research

The Site had a number of factors which restricted the design. these factors included noise pollution wind direction and privacy concerns. The brief also stated that the cabin was restricted to 75 meters squared. with setbacks of 10,000 east 2500 north, 1000, south and 2500 west. The direction of the wind meant that i could create large north and south facing windows which would ventilate the cabin and allow for easy air flow. The direction of the sun meant that i could use the tree line and design the cabin to be shaded from direct sunlight, thus reducing heating and cooling costs.
