INTRODUCTION

The buildings are located 800m east of Stonehenge along an existing footpath/bridleway. The surrounding area is mostly grassland. The main focus of this proposal is to form a close relationship between horses and humans and encourage exploration of the wider landscape.

Pitched roofs are a common site in Wiltshire. In this proposal I have explored the articulation of pitched roofs which give the sense of a small village or community. The roof structure is formed of Oak trusses which are revealed internally. The oak trusses sit onto brick walls which

I designed a small enclosure for a Farrier to make horseshoes. It was made from drystone which also formed a forge internally. My amended spire design was used as a chimney for this forge. The design was very much focused on the expression of the base of the copper spire.

The cladding is made from vertical modules of 430mm timber boards (3 x 145mm). There is a 20mm spacing between each module.

including the 20mm spacings are in sync with the bricks. This is necessary to have the windows, bricks and timber board aligning in the same way on every part of the building. The modules are attached to the vertical battens.

STRUCTURE :: PRIMARY STRUCTURE

STRUCTURE :: PRIMARY STRUCTURE Brick Walls

Throughout the proposal the primary structure is dominated by brick which is revealed internally. The brick is painted in limewash so the interiors feel bright and spacious. Limewash also has antiseptic qualities which is an advantage when people are likely to come into contact with animals. The bricks are laid in English bond which boasts structural integrity. Brick has a high thermal mass. Therefore it is a good material for maintaining a constant temperature internally. This will reduce the amount of money and time that needs to be spent regulating internal temperature.

THE BUILDING IS SITUATED IN A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT Possible Live/ Imposed Load

Possible Live/ Imposed Load

The hostel development is situated in the wide open landscape. This exposes it to a range of structural wind forces exerted on it due to its exposed position. The result of wind on the building will causes two reactions on the building walls: (a) compression on the side of the wind and (b) tension on the side away from the wind. Ground force loads respond to the downward forces of the structure. Stepped concrete footings provide the buildings with a sturdy base.

All of the rooms requiring water and drainage are located logically above or next to each other. This means services (especially ones that rely on gravity) to not need to travel a long distance to get to their destination.

A riser in the plant room allows for discrete vertical distribution of services.

heating pipes. This method of building in constant use. It also saves a lot of space. The community hall building is heated by electric heaters underneath the windows. This is because it will get used a lot less than the main hostel building, possibly once or twice a week. Electric heaters are low maintenance and have a quick heating time.

hanging lights made from copper. The hanging lights give the effect of lowering the tall ceiling to make the spaces feel more intimate. In some spaces like the kitchens or bathrooms, LED spot lights are used. These lights use very little energy, give off a lot of light and last a long time.

This is a thermally broken window ventilator that is installed on top of a timber frame. It is very discrete and allows maximum light penetration because it does not compromise on glass

The natural ventilators can be operated by a remote switch.

Hot and cold running water is used throughout the building to service the washrooms and the kitchen areas. The water is fed into the main hostel building from the mains supply. This is then fed directly to the taps and showers or through the boiler. The water pipes run vertically up the riser. The community hall and cottage have their own separate water supply system as those buildings

Rainwater tanks are installed to make use of rain water for later use, reduce mains water use for economic or environmental reasons,

be based on water demand, the catchment area (roof and/or paving). Current British Standards indicate that the tank should be large enough to contain: 5% of the non-potable water demand or 5% of the annual rainwater yield, whichever is the lesser. The average annual rainfall in England is apx 850 mm/yr (1420 mm/yr in Wales, 1650 m/ yr in Scotland and 1160 mm/yr in Northern Ireland).

SERVICES :: RAINWATER COLLECTION

The following calculation needs to how bit the tank would need to be: Effective collection area (roof) x

rainfall (apx 850mm) x 0.05 (5% guide)

When the rain is collected, it is distributed through the riser to all of the toilets. The advantage of having the tank on the roof is that it does not need a pump, it relies solely on gravity - therefore requires less maintenance.

As I am proposing a public building, a disabled lift is mandatory. This directly to the mains through the meter. There are four more main circuits which go through the distribution board. These are lighting, appliances, electric cookers and boiler.

SERVICES :: ELECTRICITY

All electrical wires will run through sleeves which create better access for maintenance and safety.

All of the buildings directly connected with the hostel and its activities are controlled by the same separate system because it has different needs.
