Courtyard Internal Visual - This shows how the courtyard might look and work. The teaching area could develop to be 2 or 3 different areas, with a design to reflect the swooping roof of the class rooms. This would provide the children with a visual marker to teaching zones and admin zones. To the left of the image an idea to help the children identify with different areas can be seen. These would be timber “labels” on the render walls to highlight rooms to children, and can be seen in the section for “Hall” and “Kitchen”.

Service Distribution and Selection Section - The group room is heated by under floor heating and lit by LED lights recessed in the ceiling. This provides a different atmosphere to the classroom (likely to be suspended tubular lights), allowing different teaching to take place. The under floor heating allows the furniture to be varied in each room. The hall is heated by radiant panels and lighting provided by suspended light fittings.

Environmental Section - Project 1A - Designing a Workspace
A construction of 140mm steel frame combined with a high level of insulation to give u-values of 0.172 (walls), 0.292 (floor) and .171 (roof). The design also gives rise to the corresponding heat losses, summer temperatures and light levels shown in the drawing. Sash windows allow a high air change rate to reduce summer temperatures.

Project 1C - Live Work Units - Concept Diagram - The main concept for the development was one of living in a clearing .Each unit is located independently in the forest. The second concept was that of easing future expansion, building from the CSH home for life criteria. Each unit starts as either a single storey 1 bedroom house or 2 storey, 3 bedroom house. The work units start at 50m2 and can be expanded by 25m2 intervals to 100m2 total. This will be aided by the construction method.
