Design Changes

In our last lesson, Shae and I changed a lot of things in our design. In the cabins, we have decided to have the top storey leaning off the other side so that it will provide shade for the windows. Our resort is not going to be set in a particularly cold place; so more effort is being placed on cooling than heating. The windows will still be facing north-east or north-west, so sun can still heat the rooms during winter, and during summer the wood sunshades and the top storey can shade the windows.

We have also changed parts of the layout of our resort. We have decided to not include the mountain that was going to be in the top right corner, and have instead made the main cliff where the cabins will be bigger so that it covers most of the top half of the design. This was done so that we could make the cabins slightly bigger so that we could include more detail, while still focusing on the landscape to a certain extent.
This is an image of our new resort design:
