WEEK 15 - RESPONSE TO FEEDBACK - SUN PATHS FOR GYM


Winter 9am
 Winter 12pm
 
Winter 4pm


 Summer 9am
Summer 12pm

 
Summer 4pm
 

Following the presentation one of the items for review was the amount of glass proposed for the western side of the building, upon review there are some issues for the gym however they are not as severe as originally thought. This is due to the gym not facing directly West, it has been rotated 35 degrees to the south, this means that the proposed glass faces recieve significantly less sun if the gym faced directly west. Alot of the issues can be rectified by the proposed and existing vegetation to the site however the design can be improved by the addition of over hangs on the roof.
 


Summer 9am - Revised Roof
 
Summer 12pm - Revised Roof


Summer 4pm - Revised Roof
 
The extension of the roof on either side of the gym has significantly reduced the amount of direct sunlight hitting the glass areas of the proposed gym, this addition in conjunction with the proposed vegetation planting will keep the room much cooler.
 
 
This is a picture showing my intention for the doors and windows to provide cross ventilation the gym.
