Further Development - Concept Two

Concept Two Further Development
Floor Plan

For further development I choose to expand on concept two. I decided to use concept two because I felt that it was my strongest concept, but also that it needed a couple of additions and alterations to become even stronger. One of the big additions I made was adding an Archgola over the deck on the roof. I did this because having an exposed deck on a roof I realized might not be practical (especially where it will be located)

but I still wanted to have it so I added the Archgola to stop the majority of rainfall from getting to the deck. I also have a small gap between the bottom of the glass balustrade to let what water does get onto the deck off it. A feature and functionality combined that I also added was the long window on the side of the house that follows the stairs up to the second level. This adds light for the ground level, the stairway and the second level (if the door is open) and and feature to the outside of the house. I realized when looking at my original concept for this that having the raw container as the cladding for the standing up container (and even the lying down one because of the roof extension) wouldn't work as containers don't have their groves going in that direction. So for my further development I corrected this by instead using squared corrugated iron over top of the container (to look like the container) because as there are extensions for roof space this is the easiest way to cover this (as well as the groves of the standing up container not being vertical). On the second story I have, like in the original concept, staggered the corrugated iron with radiata pine cladding from where the roof extension starts going all the way down to roof level of the ground level container for some aesthetic flair that gives it a modern look. I also added a wood burner as my stakeholder showed interest in this, as well as more storage. A final major addition is adding a second deck this one at ground level to give more indoor/outdoor flow as well as giving an outdoor eating space with room for a BBQ. For sustainability, like in the original concept, I will use recycled materials for as much of the build as possible as well as the containers themselves being second hand. One thing I changed for sustainability from the original concept was moving from solar panels to solar roofing tiles. I choose to do this as it gives a sleeker look not having any solar panels on the roof but still gives you the solar power.

This is my third and final concept and it has more of a batch feel to it than the other two. For this concept I decided to use corrugated iron roofing as a point of difference from the other two, of which both have tiled roofing, it also goes well with the batch theme. I have again included solar panels as I have in the first two and choose to go for the two 6x2.3 containers option opposed to the one 12x2.3 option as I feel that two containers gives more options for design ideas. This time I have the containers placed out in an L shape giving a perfect area for the deck to slot into. This my first concept to include a spa as I thought that the deck was the right size to accommodate it. For sustainability I have the second hand containers and recycled Radiata pine cladding and decking, I will also use recycled corrugated iron for the roof. I choose these materials as they are all abundant so would be easily attainable second hand. I also choose similarly for my other concepts as well.

This is the finished floor plan and exterior for my second concept. I have added a small extension off the top of the lying down container which connects to the top half of the container standing on its end. This just made sense and was necessary for this concept to work as if I hadn't of added it there wouldn't have been room upstairs for the bedroom which was the room that made most sense to be up there. For the stairs I spent much time researching to find out and then figure out how they would work with the space and with the laws around them. I have again put solar panels on the roof for sustainable power and will use recycled radiata pine for the additional cladding, keeping as much of the raw container as possible. The lounge is down stairs in the first main, area along with the kitchen/dining area all open plan. In the connecting container I have the bathroom on the ground floor with stairs leading up to the second floor master bedroom. This in turn leads out to a deck on the remaining roof of the lying down container. I have also again used concrete tiles for the roof they will also be reused to keep with the sustainable theme of the dwelling.

This is my second concept where I will have one 6x2.3m container normally on the ground and one 6x2.3m standing on its end attached to the side corner of the first container. I will have a deck on the roof that is accessed via the master bedroom that resides in the top half of the up ended container. With the bathroom below this and the kitchen/dining lounge in the normally orientated container.

Interior Design

This is my first concept for a container glamping retreat. The layout is created with two 6m x 2.3m containers laid side by side length ways, giving it dimensions of 6m x 4.6m. For the exterior, I have the raw container as the outer walls and a concrete tile roof for durability and a contrast to the metal container. The connection between the roof and container will be vertical slat radiata pine that will match the deck. Inside there will be an open plan kitchen/dining connected to a lounge, with a master bedroom and en suite of of this. I will use a second hand perfect condition container and I will mount solar panels on the roof so that it can be of grid when there is enough sun to power it.
