Our last step before focusing on the neighborhood and house design was the completion of our research which included systems, case studies, site analysis and economic plans. The information was presented beginning with our conceptual approach and concluded with our proposals for economic feasibility of the neighborhood development.
This was the first of such large scale research projects I’ve been involved with in my education thus far and can see the benefits of analysis before beginning schematic design. This research creates a framework for how the design project will be approached and will hopefully lead to a more informed proposal for the neighborhood and individual house.
