Design ideas

The main ideas shown here are:
  • recatangular buildings to let breezes flow through and around
  • separate buildings for same reasons
  • north side built of rammed earth - good thermal mass and blends with landscape
  • roof garden for same reasons
  • units built in town and transported to site to save on labour coming to site (so far away from everywhere)
  • central courtyard with water to cool breezes
  • low horizontal lines to fit with landscape
