A consideration would be the height of the adjacent buildings. An example would be the building, East of the site, which has a height of around 8m
Due to the sites location, cars can access the area through the North and West side. This allows for more freedom when designing. However the position of the trees must be considered. Summer sun path Winter sun path Wind direction Sound direction
When designing the detached house I want the bedrooms to face North. This allows for calm lighting throughout the day.

DESIGN STATEMENT
DEVELOPMENT SKETCHES
The Detached house of my original schematic concept focused on shading the bottom floor using a protruding second floor. For assignment 2 I want to develop this concept by getting light from other directions such as the East for the winter, to allow for warmer mornings. An exploration of the spacial design will also be conducted to maximise the functionality of shared and private spaces Analysis

Lighting
Creating consistent design language, whilst exploring the new concept
Finalisation of form with addition of windows and shading devices.
DEVELOPMENT MASSING Vehicles can turn into the detached house from Braund Road.
Large focus on front garden, allowing for a more welcoming entry.
Chosen concept from schematic exploration task
PHYSICAL SKETCH MODELS: LIGHT EXPLORATION East facade is angled so the roof tilts above the adjacent building. This allows for winter sunlight to seek through the East windows.
Large North windows protected from East/West sunlight with vertical fins.

ASSIGNMENT 3: DEVELOPED DESIGN
DESIGN STATEMENT To develop my Detached house from assignment 2, I experimented with massing to further refine the design language. Rather than having the large overhanging roof (assign 2), I wanted to refine and exaggerate the beauty of the original shapes by removing it. Thus my design feels more bold and polished with the strong design language of the two floors. However, due to the roof being removed I had to add small geometric shading devices onto windows which were previously protected by the overhang of the roof

A consideration for the terraced building is minimising the sound between the connected houses.
Getting the terraced houses to face North will be a challenge due to the shape of the site. However it is possible through scale and composition.
Summer sun path Winter sun path Wind direction Sound direction Another consideration will be how to shade of the West/East sides of the building, as they recieve direct light from the sun.

DEVELOPMENT SKETCHES
DESIGN STATEMENT The Terraced house for assignment 2 will further develop my concepts from the previous schematic explorations from assignment 1. To advance my terraced house I want to improve upon the original concepts of my chosen schematic design of maximising North light and shading West and East sunlight. I will also refine the design spatially, keeping in mind how people will circulate and use the spaces.

DEVELOPMENT MASSING The terraced houses face away from the train tracks. Thus blocking sound from the train and public.
Front garden away from the train station, thus giving a private natural space.

ASSIGNMENT 3: DEVELOPED DESIGN
DESIGN STATEMENT For my Terraced houses I decided to leave the design as I was more content with the final product of assignment 2. Therefore, I focused my time on creating a developed render that I would be proud of, as I mentioned previously that my main goal was to improve my skills for this course. Another focus for my Terraced house was also to properly insulate my building, as brick doesnt have great thermal properties, thus in my construction details I tried using two types of insulation (rigid and batt).
Slanted roofs allow for effective water collection
Passive cooling through natural ventilation
Reflective Colorbond Coolmax Steel roof.
Sun is shaded during the summer, whilst exposed in the winter.
