Gail’s Writing Nest - Part Three | | Part 1 [link] of 3 covered Setting; Metaphor, Theme and Symbolism; Function; and, Antecedents. Part 2 [link], Description; Grammar; Integration (with other structures); the Design/Build Method; Schedule/Costs; Schematics (design); and, Philosophy. What follows below is Design Development work. PD 1 [link] shows the front elevation, the plan at the deck level and provides further description. | | | The Design Development process is the bridge between a schematic concept and the final Contract Documents required to fabricate and build. In some cases the Design Development work and the Contract Documents are the same or nearly so. In cases like this project, they are more likely to be distinct iterations of work. | | At the beginning of the DD process, several issues emerged. In order to scale the Nest appropriately, to the rest of the structure, its size (width and height) had to be cut down. This made the centrally located circular stairway problematic - there was not sufficient space between the work surface and the stairway. Given that some day climbing a tight circular stairway may be a problem for us, our associates, or some future owner, I decide to incorporate a Lift instead. This opened up a number of design possibilities and challenges (which will be addressed below). | | Matt Taylor
