Site Location: Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve
- Unique Site Features: hills, natural landscape, trees, shrubs, lakes
- Local Climate Conditions: temperature typically varies from 44°F to 74°F and is rarely below 38°F or above 84°F
- Adjacent Buildings or Public Spaces: limited nearby structures, existing roads/pavement, public hiking trails
Design Option 1:
- Two different L-shaped buildings
- Performed better than the second option in both payback and insolation
- Not my favorite design, but if it proves significantly more practical, may be worth pursuing
- Would be interested to see how angling the building more towards the sun would increase PV Energy Production
Design Option 2:
- Modular buildings with both rectangles and L shapes
- Performed worse than the initial design in terms of payback and insolation
- Want to explore more with buildins at different levels and angles towards the sun - ie stilts like the treehouse image
