ANALYSIS OF DESIGN:
HOUSE IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL FILTER:
-The cabin is raised off the ground to allow cool air to enter the building form underneath
-A single layer timber structure also allows cool air to easily penetrate the interior
-Shading devices (the verendah roof and the roof over the towers) allow for natural light to enter and stop direct sunlight.
-Large windows on most walls of the building allow for a naturally well lit interior.
-The material timber is a good insulator
-The verendah is located on the northern side of the house therefore stopping the heat from the hottest part of the day from directly entering the house.
HOUSE IS A CONTAINER OF HUMAN ACTIVITIES:
-Travelling through the space, zones move from more public to more private
-Each activity area is separated by the varying levels, but all are still close to one another
HOUSE IS A DELIGHTFUL EXPERIENCE:
-The house possesses a unique form
-This unique form leads to different spatial arrangements, making wayfinding more interesting for the users.
-Stained glass windows allow give colour to the interior
-The use of timber adds to the warm, homely feeling.
