Notes on Design and Materiality Decisions
·
Shipping container as a shelter allows for reuse of materials, relatively cheap to purchase and re-design, easily insulated and easily moved to location
·
Minimalistic modern design allows for increased
efficiency of the space and the simplistic interior allows the user to design interior as they
please. White is neutral colour which acts as a canvas to be decorated
· As apart of effectively using space I have
designed operable walls that fold in a concertina fold structure this was the best type of design to maximise space. The wall compartments in which the walls fold back into have extra space acting as a cupboard. Wooden flooring allows for easy insertion of
operable floor runners.
·
There is a lot of open space, the reason for
this design is;
- The size of windows opens up the room
- It also creates a sense of connectedness with the
exterior environment
- There is a lowered need for electricity and the
room will remain light for most of the day, there will be blinds included to
shut off the space, but these will still allow light into the room.
-
The corner of shut off space with no windows
creates a sense of prospect refuge the user doesn’t feel completely exposed to
the outside world, the blinds will also increase the sense of safety if the
user feels too exposed.
-
The sliding doors were chosen as they do not
intrude into the space and they allow for increased light intake
-
The glass used will be double glazed to ensure
good temperature control within the space
