Timber is a sustainable resource with great versatility.

It is renewable and has good durability. Therefore, it is potentially a good building material which is renewable, sustainable, robust, aesthetic and environment friendly.

This studio provides an opportunity to explore the wonders of this material and indulge in detail for its fabrication.

In my perspective focus on details would be the crux of this entire journey of the studio.

Celebrating Timber

A material capable for not only the tiny structure but buildings of significant scale and function. Researching the properties and utilizing them to the best would be a great learning experience.

STUDIO OVERVIEW

Timber is a renewable material. It is a choice for a sustainable building material.

This studio foucuses on understanding timber and applying its usage for a small scale project- A treehouse The studio offers an opportunity to merge creativity and fun with a function . The studio expects for a built environment with space to relax, eat and basic necessities.

The treehouse is expected to be constructed using timber as the primary building material.

However, other material to enhance and support will be included.

Manisha Nupur Shah, 103402719

ARC 70003 DESIGN RESEARCH STUDIO B

The studio will be in two phase. The first half of the studio as phase one will present one treehouse at a conceptual stage. While the other half will present a treehouse with refined details.

My journey in this studio explores various functions of a treehouse. And moving further I define two uses of the treehouse and present them. Both projects will be be on different sites.

STUDIO OVERVIEW: WHY A TREEHOUSE TREE HOUSE

TREE

HOUSE

Why: • Recreation • Play and fun with study • Hangout • Observation deck • Workspace • Meet and greet • A dwelling • Hotel • A personal space

Manisha Nupur Shah, 103402719

What: “A tree house, tree fort or tree shed is a platform or building constructed around, next to or among the trunk or branches of one or more mature trees while above ground level. “

The studio explores a flexible brief with a minimum requirement for one sleeping/relaxing area, one eating/cooking area and a bathroom.

(Wikipedia, n.d.)

• • • • •

This studio I explore the treehouse as a dwelling for the first half of semester and as a personal space as the second half.

The dwelling will be at a conceptual stage while the personal space will be explored to have refined details

Possible activities in the tree house

My idea of the treehouse:

• • • • • •

Minimal Small Cozy Affordable Fun

Relaxing/Sleeping Study/Entertainment Kitchenette and eating space Star gazing Minimum day to day requirement – bathroom Any other space specific to a project function

Softwood Species

Wood Products

• Hardwood trees are generally flowering trees and are evergreen.

• The timber is hard.

• These are generally used for furnitures and are very durable.

• Example balsa wood, beech, alder, hickory, mahogany, oak, maple, teak, and walnut.

• Softwood are also generally evergreen • They grow quick and are easy to cut with machine.

• These are softer than hard wood and used for construction.

• Example cedar, juniper, pine tree, Douglas fir, redwood, yew, and spruce.

TIMBER FABRICATION: JOINERY

Timber fabrication involves many methods to name a few: • Timber Joinery- mostly for rectangular profiles • Kerf Cutting- curved timber • Steam Bending- curved timber

Tenon Mortise

Joinery are the basic of any timber construction.

To name a few joinery: • Butt Joint • Mitred Butt Joint • Lap Joint • Halved Joint • Dovetail Joint • Tongue and Grove • Dado • Biscuit Joint • Mortise and Tenon Joint Manisha Nupur Shah, 103402719

TIMBER FABRICATION: CURVED TIMBER

Kerf Cutting- cutting slits through the length of the timer to enable it to bend.

Steam Bending- Using steam to heat timber and letting it to bend against a curved module prepared. At 99 Celsius the timber loses its rigidity and the material is ready to be bent to the desired profile.

Closer the cut the profile will be more curvilinear

Flexible Timber heated in steam at 99-100 celcius Clamps to keep timber in position

PROJECT ONE: Dwelling for Two

NESTING IN THE GREEN Not a luxury but a small dwelling In the unban scenario we would have come across a scenario where people go for shared living. Generally, they rent, or sub rent one room with an attached bath to someone who just requires a place to sleep.

I would be taking this a project in a way to respond to this by creating treehouse as a small dwelling having the basic minimum requirements of living. A house where one can sleep cook eat and stay. Considering the over all area ranging from 30 sq mt to 40 sq mt, or even lesser

SITE STUDY: TREE INFORMATION AND TREE DRAWING

Yellow gum is a medium sized Australian hardwood. It is hard and durable. It is considered for heavy construction.

Botanical Name: Eucalyptus leucoxylon Preferred Common Name: Gum, Yellow Species Type: Hardwood (Wood Solutions, n.d.)

Manisha Nupur Shah, 103402719

ARC 70003 DESIGN RESEARCH STUDIO B

3D Scan Model of Tree Common Properties and Applications: This tree is hard, strong and very durable.

A good choice for structural engineering purposes, including fencing and building.

Used for sleepers and poles and is good for heavy construction.

It is also a good choice for fuel but it is a tough timber to ignite soon due its hardness and density.

Fibonacci Spiral exists in nature in many ways.

In case of trees the branches opens out in fib- Fig 74 Plant showing fiboonacci numbers as shown nacci in the fig. x. The Fibonacci (KEIREN, 2020) begins in the growth of the trunk and then spirals outward as the tree gets larger and taller.

THE MIND YOGA A space to indulge myself for relaxation and inner peace. Do activities that are food for soul and mind. Day dreaming star gazing and smiling in the solitude.

Cherish the “Me Time”in a small and cozy space for myself.

This space will have a resting area, a space to just sit and inercat with the tree, a small kitchen counter with minimal things and a basic powder room.

The site is in my front yard so most of the service like a complete kitchen and bathroom would not be necessary in the treehouse.

TREE STUDY

- Hard Tree - Used for chisel handles and similar uses.

- Used for furniture, cabinets, veneer and hardwood flooring, as well as specialty uses such as long bow construction and tool handles.

- It steam-bends easily, holds screws well - This water-resistant wood easily takes most finishes and stains

FORM STUDY 1. Basic frequency dome - edgy and losing the curve importance 2. Breaking the dome to break the monotony- height not sufficient for the second dome because of overall small radius to suit the concept of a small space 1

3. Half Dome - Loses the dome importance of stability.

4. More resolved full domesmooth and peacefulappropriate volume and area to justify all benefits of a dome- balanced and symmetrical- harmony

5. Elongating the floor plate- a little elongation does not give the deviation effect.

6. For linearity increases span results in support planning from ground level as well- difficult to retain a small area as minimal width not enugh for day do day activities appropriate volume and area to justify all benefits of a dome.

7. Little added height fail to be depict verticality 8. Verticality creates pointed feel - disturbing for a single user space ARC 70003 DESIGN RESEARCH STUDIO B

UNIT 6: BUILDING SERVICES CONCEPT At a conceptual level how the treehouse can be serviced mainly in terms of water supply, rain water disposal and solar lights usage.

This units explains my idea behind the services at a basic concept level.

6.1 BUILDING SERVICE CONCEPTS

Rain Water Tank

The riser wall facade height can be used to install solar panels which could be use for electricity.

2900

The tree house sits in the frontyard of my house and the rain water can easily be drained into the street drain. However the idea behind providing with a gutter is to collect the rain water and channel it through pipe into an existng rain water tank in the backyard of my house.

Bridge lights will be outdoor solar lights. The bridge is in the north side of the site and is open to get adequte sunlight. The dome is placed on site in a way that a prt of it is on the green area which is on the North side of the side. The riser wall facade can be used to install basic solar panels of 1.7 sq mt to convert sun energy for electricity in the treehouse

7.1 CONCEPTUAL UPDATES: POST FINAL REVIEW Considering the feedback from the final review on 9th November 2021 related to bridge design, I explored railing design in the geodesic dome pattern. Using lightweight materials like 25 mm thick plywood for frame and polycarbonate sheet for transparency.

This design would have been a tunnel-like entrance into a broader and open space
