PLANTING AND PROCESS
MY SITES MAIN PRODUCE ARE SMOOTHIE DRINKS MADE USING THE LOCALLY SOURCED FRUITS GROWN ON THE SITE, BLENDED WITH ICE. THESE DRINKS PROVIDE A HEALTHY ALTERNATIVE TO OTHER RECREATIONAL SOFT DRINKS SUCH AS MILKSHAKES OR COFFEE.
STRAWBERRIES LIKE RICH SANDY SOIL. WE WILL BE GROWING SUMMER FRUITING STRAWBERRIES AND ALPINE STRAWBERRIES WHICH LOVE THE SHADE. THEY ARE A SOURCE OF POTASSIUM AND VITAMIN c, AND HAVE SHOWN EVIDENCE OF SUPPORTING HEART HEALTH AND REGULATING BLOOD SUGAR, SAME AS THE OTHER BERRIES GROWN ON SITE DUE TO BEING FULL OF ANTHOCYANINS.
BLACKBERRIES, RASPBERRIES AND BLUEBERRIES ARE PERENNIALS AND REQUIRE LITTLE MAINTENANCE (SUCH AS PRUNING) AS THEY TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES. THEY ONLY NEED TO BE A FOOT APART AND GROW IN ROWS AND CAN BE COMPANION PLANTED.
APPLES CONTAIN VITAMINS A, E, B1,
BLUEBERRIES PREFER ACIDIC SOIL WITH PH 4-5 TO MAXIMISE GROWTH. THEY GROW BETTER IN

SUSTAINABILITY
MY PROJECT CONTAINS SEVERAL SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGIES. THE FIRST KEY ELEMENT IS THE EXTENSIVE GREEN ROOF WHICH PROMOTES BIODIVERSITY OF ANIMAL WILDLIFE AND IS MITIGATES HEAT AND IS QUITE LOW MAINTENANCE. THE ROOF IS ALSO A PARAPET WHICH PROTECTS THE BUILDING FROM WIND UPLIFT BY DIVERTING WIND FLOW UPWARDS. THE PARAPET ROOF IS SLANTED AT A SLIGHT ANGLE WITH A DRAIN ALONG ONE SIDE TO PREVENT WATER POOLING AN WATER DAMAGE TO THE CEILING, THIS WATER CAN BE COLLECTED AS GREY WATER AND USED TO FLUSH THE TOILETS IN THE BUILDING OR FOR WATERING PLANTS ON THE SITE. THE SITE ALSO RECYCLES WATER FROM THE RIVER BY PUMPING WATER FROM THE RIVER UP AROUND THE BUILDING VIA A BARSHA PUMP WATERMILL PLACED BELOW THE WATERFALL. IT IS CAPABLE OF PUMPING 43,000 LITRES OF WATER A DAY WITHOUT REQUIRING ANY ELECTRICITY AS IT IS POWERED VIA THE KINETIC ENERGY GENERATED BY THE FLOWING WATER, AND SO IS COST FREE WITH ZERO CARBON EMISSIONS.
THE BUILDING DOESN’T REQUIRE MUCH HEATING WHICH SAVES COSTS AND CAUSES LESS CARBON EMISSIONS AS A LOT OF HEAT ENTERS THE SPACE VIA THE LARGE WINDOWS COVERING THE FACADE.
TWO GLASS ENCLOSED ATRIUM CREATE STACK VENTILATION ALLOWING AIR TO PASS THROUGH THE OCULUS ROOF AND OUT THE SMALL VENTILATION HOLES IN THE GLASS, THE AIR IS COOLED ALONG THE WAY WHICH REDUCES THE COST OF AIR CONDITIONING. THE BUILDING IS FURTHER COOLED FROM THE WATER-WALL AT THE RECEPTION.
SEASONAL PERSPECTIVE
CLIMATE
COOLING:
THERMAL MASS IN CEILING, WALLS AND FLOOR ABSORB HEAT THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND RELEASES AT NIGHT.
WATER FEATURES COOL THE AIR
VENTILATION:
STACK VENTILATION IS CREATED BY THE ATRIUM SOLAR SHADING:
SOUTH SOLAR SHADING HAS BEEN CALCULATED AT A TOTAL WIDTH OF 3.84m (3 s.f.) AND HAS BEEN DIVIDED INTO 10 EQUAL PARTS OF 0.384m (3 s.f,) AT 0.3m APART TO SHADE THE FACADE WHICH STOPS OVERHEATING.
HEATING:
INSULATION FROM DOUBLE THICK WALLS (0.5m) STORES AND RELEASES HEAT LARGE WINDOWS (3m TALL) ON THE FACADE ABSORB AND LET IN HEAT CREATING A GREENHOUSE EFFECT WARMING THE SPACE
DYNAMIC SOLAR SHADING:
SOUTH SOLAR SHADING CAN BE REMOVED TO LET IN MORE LIGHT IN THE WINTER.
MY MICRO CLIMATE HAS STAIRS WHICH LEADS DOWN NTO A POND CONNECTED TO THE RIVER THAT GO DOWN BY 1 m WHICH IS ACCOMPANIED BY A 15 m RAMP FOR DISABLED ACCESS TO ENABLE INCLUSIVITY IN THE SITE.THE LOWERED SURFACE CREATES THERMAL MASS AND WARMS THE SPACE;.
