My Cabin Design

To relate back to the Balaam House, my cabin makes use of the same materials. White concrete, timber and zinc are the main materials used in this cabin. This cabin like the Balaam House also has a pool cantilevered over the entrance, plenty of outdoor living space, surrounded by a timber slat frame, and has the living areas positioned in the West, and the sleeping areas in the North.The pool deck is open so as to allow views to the CBD, while the studio and bedroom look west towards the peak of 'Linearity Lookout'. The living areas are on the West side of the house, so that during the hottest part of the day, they aren't exposed, instead they will look out to the pleasand Brisbane afternoon sun. The cantilever pool is used as a focal point, and as a way of utilising the deck space, and the idea is gained from the Balaam house. The timber slats inclosing the outdoor living areas provide privacy, shade, and wind protection while not prohibiting views, light, or the breeze. Due to the cabins higher situation it is assumed that it will be susceptible to breeze. The use of outdoor living is heavily implemented so to create more room for the residents. The indoor living spaces are also connected to the outdoor living spaces by slliding doors which open all the way to create uninterupted living space which is well ventilated, and well lit.
