Week 5 Update: 4/30-5/06

During Week 5 we...

           - Finalized our envelope design
           Finalized the orientation of the tree house on the site
           - Compiled a list of high-efficiency appliances and fixtures
           - Used these appliances and fixtures to calculate the water flow
           - Made preliminary lighting and outlet plans
           - Completed majority of solar calculations
           - Brainstormed the water system

The circles in the diagrams below represent recessed lights placed throughout the house. The large circle over the dining room table, the box under the words "Dining room," represents a chandelier styled pendant light. The large circle with the word "Stairs" represents the spiral staircase featured in our design. The kitchen counters as well as a couch, placed in the living room, are included in the image to aid with visualization of the space.
