Here's my 2nd project
Building a small botanical station at Kings Park with a toilet, a bedroom for 1 or 2 person, a kitchen/dining area and a study area. The building has to be sustainable-no electricity and no water- and at the same time has to work during summer/winter.
1. Sunlight and wind directions were experimented in this project.
2. The surrounding trees and sun angles were examined carefully to create shadow during summer
to minimize the heating of the house and allow sunlight during winter to maximize the
heating of the house.
3. The walls and windows were located according to the wind received during winter and summer
to create and maximize air ventilation in the interior space.
4. The structure is heavily designed with timber and glass as they are cheaper and more
sustainable compare to concrete.
5. Plants on the roof top to cool of the roof as plants are 5-6 degrees below surrounding temperature.
Hot air rises, cools down by the roof and descends as cooler air.
This creates air ventilation.

I haven't got pictures of my drawings. I'll post them up soon.
I'll 1st post my process of model making.
1. Floor and Roof structure
2. Walls and window frames
3. Window system that deflects high summer sun but allows penetration of low winter sun
4. Plants on the roof
5. Final model (South-west elevation)
North-west elevation
