PART B ANALYSIS: SUSTAINABLE DESIGN

St Lucia house was designed in accordance with the natural environment, and has various design elements that result in the house being environmentally efficient. Some of these include the presence of the trees which act as a climatic foil, the large glass wall, high southern windows for cross ventilation, shallow one-room plan and minimal walls for maximum air flow and the orientation of the house which result in all rooms facing due north. These elements are shown and analysed in the floorplan and section below.
