FINAL MODEL ADS4 'EDEN'

FRONT ENTRY HAS ORGANIC SHAPED FUNNEL COLLECTING TO THE MAIN RESIDENCE. MADE FROM PVC SPHERES IN A PVC MESH IT FILTERS THE WATER TO THE TANKS BELOW. THIS IMAGE SHOWS ALSO THE SUMMER WESTERN EVENING LIGHTING AS THE LOUVRES SHADE THE STAIRWELL, AND THE KITCHEN AND ENTRY ARE SHADED. THE 'WATER CUBE' WOULD HAVE PHOTOCHROMATIC GLASS FOR ADDITIONAL COMFORT IN SUMMER HOWEVER IS AT GROUND LEVEL SO THAT THE RESIDENCE NEXT DOOR (CLAIRE) WOULD SHADOW THIS AREA SOMEWHAT.

THE ENTRY RAMP WOULD BE INFUSED WITH ALUMINIUM MESHING THAT MIMICS THIS PATTERN SEEN IN THE SECOND IMAGE. THE RAMP IS TRANSPARENT SO THAT IT DOES NOT INTERFERE TOO HEAVILY WITH THE LIGHTING OF THE BEDROOM. THE SHEAR WALL BELOW THE KITCHEN HOUSES THE PIPES THAT ARE REQUIRED TO PUMP GRAY WATER FROM THE KITCHEN AND SHARED ENSUITE BELOW. THESE TWO AREAS HAVE BEEN LOCATED ON TOP OF EACH OTHER TO REDUCE PIPES AND BULKHEADS IN THE LOWER AREA BELOW GROUNDLINE. THE FRONT OF THE KITCHEN WOULD ALSO HAVE POROUS FLOORING TO ENABLE THE USE OF THIS EXTRA SPACE AS A PETITE GREEN HOUSE, FIRSTLY FOR EXTRA THERMAL COMFORT INSIDE THE ABODE AND SECONDLY FOR REDUCING GLARE IN THE KITCHEN FROM THE NORTH LIGHT.

THIS IMAGE SHOWS THE LIGHTING IN THE MORNING FROM THE EAST. THE WARMING OF INTERNAL SPACES THAT USUALLY ARE REQUIRED IN THE MORNING IS DONE NATURALLY. THE LOUVRES ON THE REAR OF THE KITCHEN WINDOW ALSO SOFTENS THE LIGHT BUT STILL ENSURES THAT IT PENETRATES THE AREA. THIS ALSO INTURN LIGHTS THE LOUNGE AREA AND THE ENTRY RAMP. THE BEDROOM IS IN FULL SHADE IN EARLY MORNING FOR THE MUCH NEEDED SLEEP IN.

THE ARFTERNOON SUN AGAIN SHOWN HERE DURING SUNSET USING REVIT SOLAR EXAMINATIONS. THERE WOULD BE A NICE COOLING BREEZE FROM THE ADJACENT PARK INTO THE RESIDENCE AND ALSO BE INVITING FOR OUTDOOR ACTIVITES.

A SHADED EXAMPLE OF THE SOUTHWEST ELEVATION. IT SHOWS 'EDEN' LIT AT NIGHT FROM THE STAIRWELL AND BEDROOM. IT IS VERY ATMOSPHERIC AND IS A GREAT ENTICEMENT FOR OUTDOOR LIVING.

THIS REVIT WIRE MESH FRAME SHOWS THE CIRCULATION FROM ENTRY INTO 'EDEN' AND ALSO THE WAY IN WHICH RAINWATER IS CAPTURED BY THE FUNNEL, DISTRIBUTED BY THE FILTER POLES AND INTO THE TANKS BELOW.

OPPOSITE ELEVATION SOUTH EAST AT NIGHT WHEN THE LOUVRES LIGHT UP THIS FACADE AND THE LIGHT FROM THE KITCHEN IS EXPELLED THROUGH THE SMALL WINDOW

THE REAR DOOR TO THE OUTSIDE SUNKEN COURTYARD HAS AN INTERESTING CONSTRUCTION INTO THE BULKHEAD. THE BULKHEAD ITSELF USING A LIGHT TRAP TO BOUNCE THE LIGHT INTO THE LOUNGE ROOM. THE BOX GUTTER FOR THE STUDY IS HIDDEN WITHIN THE BULKHEAD AREA OF THE LOUNGE ROOF. THERE WOULD BE PROVISION FOR SOLAR PANELS TO BE PLACED ON THE KITCHEN ROOF ALSO.

THERE WOULD BE LANDSCAPING USING NATIVE AUSTRALIAN PLANTS WITHIN THE BOUNDARY NEAR THE KITCHEN. THIS BED WOULD BE FED GRAY WATER FROM THE KITCHEN AND HAVE A SMALL AREA WHERE THE BED COULD FLOOD AND SINK INTO THE ROCKY SOIL. THE USE OF LOUVRES AND GLASS INFUSED WITH ALUMINIUM WOULD ALSO BE IN THE REAR AREA AROUND THE OUTDOOR DINING SPACE FOR CONCEALING BINS ETC.
