For phase 2 of the project, I would be opening up the side wall of the meditation room, and turning it into a courtyard. Because it would be all outdoors, I have put in a corridor along the side of the building.
This will also help achieve more light reaching deeper into the building, Which would also be good to help the plants in the room grow. There will also be windows put in the living room wall. Here are some diagrams of the ventilation in the building. The main ventilation strategy will be single sided ventilation, The main source of fresh air into the building will come from the courtyard. These are my final plans for phase 1 , I have decided to put the rooms in which Edmund and C.S Lewis will use together at the front then have a big conservatory where they can relax. And towards the back will be their bedrooms. From these plans I have drawn up noise, movement and lighting diagrams, showing how the positioning of the windows has effected the building and also how the clients will use the space. Above are different ideas I had for the courtyard space. The first plan was to put in a glass box, and having the walkway around it. The second was to have a walkway just along the far side of the building , And in the third and fourth plan, I was going to have the courtyard open, with a spiral stairs in the corner going up to a high platform.
1) My initial idea when drawing out the plans were to have the rooms at the front of the building closed off and dark, then moving towards the end of the building it would become open and lighter. The would be a reflection of the clients personalities.
Looking at the bubble diagram you can see that Edmund and C.S Lewis have a lot of similarities. The space that they would share would be:
