Tested and Refined-Battersea 6

Domus Tested and Refined!!!

Domus has now been tested and Refined and is in its final stages of presentation layout.
Key elements that were tested were as follows

- Ventilation via Fluid Mapping- found to be more then satisfactory- no changes made.
- Shading- tested via shadow diagrams... needed more- eves were extended
- Water catchment- potential for more... extended eves catered for this
- Water system-refined by way of use of Grey water storage onto garden- also redesign of guttering to make water a feature of the overall design.
- Permercutlure- more indepth look at food sources and places suitable to grow various food varieties
- Site plan and layout, look at how Domus responds to site and how Gardern area reacts with natural surrounding's.
- Materiality- look at EE of materials, what needs to be brought onto site.

All in all we aimed to make our presentation: clear, concise and simple to best illustrate the small changes to the Domus design.
