Project Scope:
Abstract:
This senior design project consisted of developing designs for several cabins for the Aspendale Mountain Retreat Center, located in the heart of the Lincoln Forest. Various conditions were examined when developing an appropriate quantity and specific design of cabins to be used. We had to determine our limitations that came with the project, namely; funds, resources, and access to labor and equipment. Six cabins with four different designs were chosen. From that point, design began for assigning environmental features, cost analysis, and possible components for project feasibility, in accordance to Mr. Hammond, the camp curator. Six cabins were expanded on with features such as passive solar design, handicap accessibility, and energy efficient materials. Phase 1 of Project: For phase 1 of the project we are focusing on the design of the cabin as well as the area of the location. We will maybe be looking at existing designs that can hold the snow loads for the harsh winters. This will also include looking at general ideas for materials, insulation and appliances. Phase 2 of Project: This will consist of continuing with the project in detail. Now having the designs to be used we will be looking the designing the cabins in detail. For structural we will be looking at mainly passive solar designs to include on the existing layouts. Other environmental aspects will be included as well as various cost for materials, appliances and a physical model will be created for presentation. More details are to come. |
