To link my three structures together, all three of my structures have circular bases, recycled timber flooring, made from red cedar, all have posters/pictures of ecological interest on the walls and grey aluminium window frames
My underground structure is a dome shape dig in to the rock face near the waterfall. The dome will be made from stone blocks (the same stone the ruins are made from), covered with a layer of insulation and coated with a layer of concrete to stop the damp ground affecting the structure. The window and door will be made from glass and the window frame will be made from grey aluminium. The walls will be painted white with posters of interest to ecologists on the walls. All three structures will have similar pictures and posters. The floorboards will be made from recycled wood.
My structure that is on ground will be constructed from posts and beams and will have Red Cedar timber cladding on the outside. The window frames will also be made from grey aluminium. I will be using raft foundation. The table and chairs will be made from recycled timber as well as the stairs. There are glass sliding doors and windows. The floorboards will also be from recycled timber.
The above ground structure will be constructed like the Exbury Egg. The underlying structure is made from a series of curved plywood ribs, there is a secondary series of cross ribs which create a framework over which a skin is stretched. Recycled Red Ceader strips were bent accross the structure and nailed on to the stringers to form a structure. The windows will be circular and the frames will also be from grey aluminium. The outdoor viewing platform will be made from grey aluminium also. The stairs will be made from timber with a rope acting as a banister and the stilts will be made form steel. The bunk beds will be made from timber also
