Pentortoise Green Model: Eco-Home
After conciderable amounts of recearch and input from freinds of the Eco-project, we have a basic model of the Eco-Home and theory model, we will build the model in 3d to get the footage right then we will make a foamboard version for presentation and to brainstorm for more effectives or alternative solutions.
As you can see from the sketch we are using various features to naturally work with nature and her elements, for example the sun in the summer month will only touch the base of the solarium while in the winter month, a lower sun will enter the solarium for maximum exposure to daylight and year round gardening in the solarium. The northern roof is sloped to will allow for minimum wind exposure during the winter months minimizing heat loss.
The process is very exciting and as always your input is valued and welcomed.
