Initial Team Design
44
At the beginning of the semester, students were placed into groups of three or four to create an initial schematic design. After presenting the four different options to the client, the entire studio collaborated and drew up a final design, as well as a detailed budget. The final studio design was approved by the client and work began promptly. The final design features operable windows for ventilation, a large sliding door that opens to outdoor working space, indoor shelving units, a rainwater collection tank, protected outdoor firewood storage, and indoor surfboard and timber storage. Originally, the woodshop was designed to feature a butterfly roof with an internal gutter and an exterior cistern, but those were later cut due to budget restrictions.
