This week I have considerd a lot more of the practical aspects of the design. Because I am designing a bath house that includes bathrooms, refreshment area and provided towels, I need to have cleaning suplies and somewhere to store any other practical necesities for the space. After this realisation, I decided I needed to manipulate my floor plan to allow for a storage space. I also felt like my design had made some areas feel and look neglected with no use so I wanted to reconsider the layout of the space. Below is a quick sketch to help me get a better understanding of how I could change the layout to work better.
Also this week, further developing my rainwater concept for the refreshments, I changed my idea to having a larger, buried tank under the car park to allow a larger volume of water to be held and also allowing me to use the rainwater as part of my water wall. Something I mentioned was the affect town supply water has on your skin and hair, so by having a rainwater water wall, I am helping solve this problem.
