Core differences from my Forma model: 1) Wall and room updates in order to ensure hallway accessibility after oversights in Forma, 2) Removal of excessive and potentially under-used balconies along hallway. Also, interchanging placement of hallway and rooms so that the hallway runs alongside the busier roads, while the residential rooms overlook the quiet courtyard.
Wood finished flooring in the residential buildings. I aimed to use more wood flooring, ceiling, and walling in order to reduce carbon footprint. My primary guideline (as advised) for all construction was the R value. In some cases (such as the ground/first floor roof) my central challenge was boosting this R value while maintaining a low thickness. I primarily did this by adding membrane layers.
Stairwell flooring and platforming adjusted to fill in gaps and correct alignment issues. Working elevator and mechanical shaft running from floors 1 (ground floor) to 6. The green roof is only accessible via stairway.
Green roof (trees, etc to be added in next module) accessible via stairway from levels below. I added walls and roofs here to create entryways from the stairwell and onto the roof. Initially I literally made this into a Norcal standard green roof, with many layers for drainage, soil, etc. I decided this was a bit much and opted for a terrace-like green roof. The trees and greenery I plan to add will serve as wind protection up on the roof.
I added curtain walls and doors on the two innermost wall panels of the commercial building facing the courtyard. I thought this would be fitting for a communal space, aiming to maximize natural light and emphasize the orientation and features of the building as it opens out into a courtyard. Simultaneously I left my initial brick finished wall on the remainder of the commercial level, facing the busier roads. My intention here was to promote a sense of peace from the busy outside environment and to foster intimacy among communities within the space.
