ELEVATIONS - ILLUSTRATED
Front Elevation - As you can see from the front elevation, the main building has become a focale point of the building, providing a view platform from the mezzanine floor level. The mezzanine floor has a double door set out onto the viewing platform. The trusses are also exposed on the viewing platform, again adding to the characted of the building and its aesthetic appeal. East Elevation - You can see from the side elevation how the proposed wing extension, hugs the main building to form an L shape around the existing main building. This provides the most efficiant internal layout possible and make the most from the limited space on site. West Elevation - The west elevation really shows how the below ground level classrooms and study areas are possible. Light is provided at ground level for the below ground classrooms which is a key feature when in the study areas. The access points for these areas are from the external stair cases down into a passage, which allow entry into the class rooms.

The image to the left shows the view from the rear of the passage way, looking back towards the front of the building. The purpose of this view is to show how the platform acts as a viewing area to the sea. The floor covering will be external vinyl which will be coloured to match the sea and the sky, creating an ‘infinity’ like platform. In this imagge youcan see the contrasting building materials of the natural stone of the main building with the contrastic blue/grey render of the new L shaped wing.
The image to the right looks back to the point of view of the image above. This shows the glazing into the study areas and toilets, and down to the corner of te L shaped walk way.

The image to the right shows how the building will look on an approach or how it will be views from the road. The shapes and angles of the building area in keeping with the local area and environment. With the use of locallly sourced materials, along with new, modern weather protective materials, it will be a land mark within the village, and will hopefully inspire local developments in years to come.

The image to the right shows the grandure of the main hall and how affective the mezzanine floor has been in creating a viewing platform out onto the sea.
The image above shows the viewing platform from the external space provided by the mezanine floor. You can see the exposed truss’s from this view, which is a key feature and character of the building.
The images both left and right show how the mezanine floor will look as a viewing platform. The area could be used as a seating area or a communal area.

The plans above show the proposed wing extension. Wing PR Base Level shows the level below ground. This level will be accessed externally around the perimeter of the building via staircases that span from the ground floor to the lower ground level. Wing PR FFL shows the first floor level of the wing extension. This floor will have an additional three teaching/research spaces, male and female WC’s and additional store areas for the research/teaching areas.

DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT MATERIALS Materials for the prposed scheme will need to be chosen to compliment the surrounding landscapes and environments. Consideration will also be needed for the materials durability and ability to withstand the roughest weather conditions from the prevailing sea. Stone The stone that will be used for ammendments to the original main building will be to match the existing. The stone will be locally sourced, and hopefully reclaimed stone, to be weathered the same as the existing stone. Because the proposed scheme is retaining as much of the main building as possible, it will reduce the costs with the need for constructing a complete new building. One option could be to re-use and retain the stone from the demolition of the existing extensions to the building. This will create a seemless look to the building and hopefully the new alterations to the main building will be relatively unoticed.

Lime Mortar Repointing with a waterproofing addative Damp issues with stone buildings are very common, especially in a area such as Boulmer with the harsh weather conditions. The main reason period building were made of such a thickness is that it was harder for moisture to pass, most likely the water would evaporate before it reached the internal surface. Lime mortars allow the transmission of moisture, which compared to cement based mortars, which trap the moisture, damaging the walls in differeing weather conditions such as freezing the moisture in the walls, creating expanding gaps. As the building gets older, crack appear in the building. Therefore it is essential that the building, both proposed and existing is repointed with a lime mortar with a waterproofing addative to assist the damp proofing and weather protection. The repointing will also allow the new alterations to match the existing structures. Render The proposed wing extension will be rendered to produce an aethetically pleasing yet robust fascade. The proposed render will be a two-part flexible waterproofing material made specifically for the protection and waterproofing of structures. The render can be applied to rendered concrete and masonry and is resistant to sea water, sulphated water and de-icing salt as well as reducing the carbonation of concrete. The colour of the render will be a medium blue colour, similar of that in the photo on the right, which also uses the same rendering system. This colour will compliment the natural surrounding environment, and will match that of the sky, therefore camoflauging the building so it sits perfectly within the landscape.
Glazing The use of glazing will be maximised to reflect the environment and the surrounding areas, again helping blend the proposed development with the surround areas. The glazing will form part of the proposed buildings thermal value by using thermal ‘Low E’ glazing. Low-e coatings have been developed to minimize the amount of ultraviolet and infrared light that can pass through glass without compromising the amount of visible light that is transmitted. Solar heat gain, which is short-wave energy, can pass through into the room but indoor heating cannot escape to the outside as it is long-wave energy. The coating effectively reflects the room’s radiated heat back in, whilst allowing heat and light from the sun to enter through.

fascade, as well as the exposed trusses. The mezzanine floor will provide a great viewing point, not only to the floor below, but through the glazed wall and out into the sea. The mezzanine floor can be used as an observation area or a study area. The mezzanine floor will be constructed using joists fixing into the existing masonry wall on joist hangers, the mezzanine deck will be topped with a tounge and groove floor boarding with a vinyl finish on top. Beneath the mezzanine floor will be sheet rock. The mezzanine will be thermally and acoustically insullated with rigid foam board and cavity insulation.
22
LEVEL BELOW GROUND With the site of Boulmer Life Boat station being reletively limited, one way I thought to maximise the area was to propose a floor below ground. As you can see from the sectional visual below, the below ground level features a thin strip of glazing units at roof height, which, is actually only on ground level externally. This creates a void that is relatively hidden yet maximises floor space. This area can be utilised for teaching area as with the windows being at wall height, there is maximum wall space to work with, with displays, teaching boards and equiptment. From an external perspective, you can only see the main building, and the wing extension, when a first glance only looks like one level. This maximises the attractiveness to the local planning authority as it has minimal effect on the local environment and community. The below ground level almost halves the external elevation height. The below ground level is accessed externally to the side and rear elevations, as shown on the proposed plans.
23
INSPIRATION In this section I will show examples of inspiration for the proposed development. Inspiration is an important insight into material choices and also design possibilities. Inspirational images can induce a certain thought of design. Inspiration can be taken from the smallest thing and turned into something brilliant.

LEARNING OUTCOME
My learning outcomes have been plentiful. From learning about the restrictions that a site can have upon a proposal is very important. Another learning outcome would be how much of a detrimental effect weather can have upon a building over time, this shows that weather conditions within a certain area need to be a very important part of the design process. Weather conditional can determine many factors within a building, from materials used to the construction and alterations made to the existing building to make the building more robust to handle the weather conditions for years to come and preserve the original building as much as possible. Other learning outcomes have been my learning experience on Revit. I had a OK knowledge of Revit, but by usiing Revit more for floor plans, sections and elevations, it has confirmed to me how much more I need to use the programme over CAD. I have learnt and researched a lot into architectural illustration and presentation, and I will take these skills into my day job as an Architectural Technologist.
