GREEN ROOF
Extensive Vs Intensive
During my design process, I looked one study that included a green roof. As Barbara Hepworth’s artwork revolved around nature. It seemed that she liked keeping sustainable with the materials used in her work such as stone and wood.

To honour that, I have chose to design a extensive green roof. Being in a world developing sustainability this is a good choice to harvest vegetables and to gain solar energy from solar panels. It gives the building a significant value both economically and environmentally.
With additional to this, there is a space provided for the children to play privately, looking onto the landscape and getting air for their well being.
The layout of my green roof as well as windows, consist of geometry of mostly line work to correspond with Ben Nicholson’s artwork of sharp lines and shape.
An intensive roof has a larger layer of substrate to plant unlimited variety of trees. I have chose a extensive roof for a thin substrate around a large surface area. This is for shrubs and vegetables.
Solar Study
Having this information is key to knowing if the building has enough shading during summer but efficient enough to provide light with prevention of glare.
Having all studies at 12:00PM demonstrates the sun at it’s highest altitude. All studies are located in Huddersfield, Kirklees.
Final Renders
These consist of both interior and exterior shots of how Barbara Hepworth would walk through her house and studio.
These also show lighting from both sun and interior.
