“We got together with the interior design, civil, and costing teams, and discussed what changes needed to be made to the unit.”
“Made compromises to designs to accommodate with civil and sustainability issues. Designs soon to be completed.”
“The Architecture group has completed the final dimensions of the building. They plan to include a Laundromat, dry-cleaners, bike shop and café/internet café. By the end of next week they will have completed the designs of the exterior, including the courtyard to the front of the building, and the parking lo to the rear. In addition to supervising the construction of the prototype, they will provide a detailed google sketch-up of the interior and exterior of the building that will be shown on a television during the final presentation.”
“Architecture met with the Sustainability group to discuss the layout of the green spaces on the west side of the building. They also finalized most of the exterior dimensions of the building including the atrium and "Habitat 67" style units.”
“Goals:
- finalize landscaping and design of exterior based on neighborhood bylaws
- begin construction of prototype”
