Refurbished Barnhouse Selected Works

Initial Design

PROJECT DETAILS

This was one of my first attempts in redesigning a traditional barn house. In which the design would incorporate pine timber cladding and aluminium sheets for the roofing. Alongside a rainfall storage system, where it would take the rainfall within the gutters to a water tank. However, this was not as optimal as alumininium as it includes a high intial cost as well as being prone to denting.

Duration: 45 minutes

Developed Design

02

PROJECT DETAILS

I would then develop the intial design to incorporate more housing space due to the small area the intial design would have.

As well as increasing the sustainability of the building. This would be due to the addition of a large amount of solar pannels being installed. This would allow the house to be be off grid during summer and spring, however it may need to be connected to the grid during winter. As there is less suntime during winter and autumn.

Duration: 1 Hour, 45 Minutes

1960s Corner Street

Selected Works

PROJECT DETAILS

Modern and Old Selected Works

05

PROJECT DETAILS

The Modern and Old design consists of a ruined stone cottage that has been redesigned to include another story. The design would incorporate modern materials such as grey ash cladding due to ash being a local timber within the area. Alongside stone cladding within the walls. It would also use an unconvential insulation that would be straw and mud. This is due to the house using materials and components found within the local area. In which being in devon, would be a suitable option that is both a good insulator as well as a cheap and sustainable insulator. As mud and straw insulation includes multiple airports that prevents heat from transferring making it a good unconvential method of insulation.
