C2-Inspiration

ABOVE: Troppo Architects, Rozac House. We used Troppo Architects as the main influence as Troppo Architects specialise in sustainable, tropical buildings. The Rozac House was especially influential as it is located very near to our site. We liked the way that the building projected out into the landscape, which we incoporated into our final design. We also looked at how the building responded to the environment, using this, along with our individual research, as a guide on what we needed to include into our design in order to make it sustainable.

ABOVE: We liked the use of a covered walkway to provide access to the rooms, as this helps to make the rooms only one room deep (which is important in helping to cool down the house with cross-ventilation), and provides shading to the house and also integrates inside and outside.

ABOVE: One of the photo's we received of the site. We wanted to reflect the patterns and textures found in the site in our building. We tried to incorporate this pattern into our vertical timber batten cladding.
