Minutes for Battersea 4 11/5/07

  • Presented mock-up site plan and living space designs
  • Decided upon size for main living space, including deck sizes
  • Looking at maybe extending front deck out to emphasize view
  • Flyscreens to either roll up or crease
  • Decided upon horseshoe shape to aid in privacy with different heights of pods

Was discussed that horseshoe was maybe not entirely necessary, should try to break up landscape a little

  • Instructed to work on finer details, as design is rather simple
  • Need to figure out placement of tanks, could be underneath
  • Need to figure out how to channel water effectively, without the use of downpipes
  • Eaves need to be much wider to cover sunlight, can roof shape maybe be changed to give a more dynamic look, and express the roofs function, ie. Water catchment
  • Can overflow of tanks be used in some way?
  • Individual pods need to be more expressive, have some form of presence
  • Shape of water tanks?
  • How can water tanks be used as some form of expression?
