Urban Utopia - Site Location
SCALE 1:5000
SITE PLAN - and immediate neighborhood
- Site Placement Choice -
The location chosen is ideal for all of my exemplar houses and my cabin, due to the ground flattening off in this area north of Parti Peak. Further, the technical reason for why i chose the north side of the mountain was due to being able to have access to natural sunlight all through the year without the mountain blocking the low angles of the winter sun. This location exhibits a sub-tropical climate therefore the need for natural south-easterly cool breezes is very important, the cabin and exemplar houses take full advantage of this by being in a location where the mountain does not inhibit this.

By being guided by my exemplar whom which had a flat site to work with, the section of the site in which i have chosen is at the north edge of the mountain where it has flattened off. I have included a park in the north end of the site that backs onto the site of my Architects Cabin. I wanted to include a park in the site that you can actually get glimpses of from the cabin to create a feel safety, comfort and tranquility.
