Conclusion

Just a bit of information to sum up:

Basically I just tried to make the new cabin have the same spatial qualities as Lambert House. This has been done by taking key elements and ideas from Lambert House and converting them into a smaller space.

Hall believes in the craftsman approach to design and appreciates decoration and embellishments as a means of expression. As such the cabin has features such as stained glass windows and a timber construction to give the building a decorative aspect. Like Lambert House the new cabin has an unusual form and uses it to best advantage for a logical flow of circulation.

Similar climatic filters were used in the new cabin. The shading devices on Lambert House that allow natural light in but keep direct sun out were echoed in the use of a verendah in the new cabin. Both buildings have a single layer of timber as the exterior wall in order for cool air to easily enter the building. Similarly both buildings are arranged vertically to allow cool air to enter through the bottom, circulate up through the space, and the warm air can then escape through the roof.

In the end both buildings are different yet similar in their qualities. The new cabin provides an alternative to the design of Lambert House on a smaller scale.
