Features which can be considered for Cabin Design...

There are many subtle and pronounced features that I have determined from Peter Rich's Architecture which I wish to consider for utilisation in my cabin design. These particular features range from;
  • Nedeble Architecture
  • Timber (primary material) - Rich uses timber as his main construction material for basically all projects. It has the most relevance and the best relationship with the African environment
  • Slanted roof
  • Open planned living
  • Diagonal circulation
  • Home split into 3 sections - communal, serving and served areas
  • Big windows and openings
  • Homes are raised on stilts
A diagram of the main features to be included are below;
