Sangarth 4 Redesign

After the domus review it was discussed that the house:
- design to be in a tropical enviroment
- material not properly research
- too large for 3.5 occupant

In keeping the design, we research on houses in the tropic and found that there were 2 key features: - large eaves to block out the sun all round the house - openings in every wall to allow cross ventilation








We decided to focus on these major changes:
- Large eaves
- Openings on every wall
- Smaller Plan
- Thatching to corrogated steel




We decided to keep the main element of the design and just add extension to it for the redesign of the eaves.
