Participants: Kevin and Amy Daly,Jeff Gerber, Hans Berend, Emmanuelle Vital and Lisa Benjamin
Subject: 3 options for attached green house
Summary of Discussion:
The purpose of the 3 option idea exercise was to get a sense of the inside and outside space as well as look at cost effectiveness
Option C: 1250 sq/ft this was the east orientation with the most greenhouse space and most square footage. this option had the least amount of east light and created some issues for the western addition such as screening the intense sun. This had the option for the largest green roof.
option B: 1250 sq/ft sloped glazing, less green roof, south facing, gabel orientated North South
Option A: 1000 sq/ft This options creates more inside/ outside space has more sloped glazing and also has the protected porch. gabel north south
we also discussed the addition and how it relates to the existing structure and blending the green house in. The points well taken were creating a well built long lasting structure, utilizing more modern materials such as the poly carbonate and copper shingles and how the roof line feels when you approach the house from the drive.
we discussed some advantages and disadvantages of poly carbonate glazing vs glass and will look into this. We also discussed maximizing the light and having michael from ecosystems design review the design to make sure there is enough light for production.
We also discussed snow and water management on the roofs and surrounding landscape that will protect the new structure. Heat tape and gutters are advised.
Hans viewed the site with Bud the excavator and located 2 sites for water catchment. They discussed under cover drainage and french drain systems as well as utilizing concrete tanks( or the undersized septic tank). They also discussed surface collection as well as trenching.
The floor plan was discussed and the use and function of every space was important. The upper additional bathroom was discussed and hans will provide several estimates for options. Also the downstairs floor plan was also discussed. Amy liked the idea of opening up the space for indoor outdoor classroom area.
Action Items:
1. Jeff will coordinate a meeting with michael and evo to discuss design and production
2. Hans will provide bids on bathroom options
3. Evo will post chicken run ideas/fence ideas for animals and look into covenants
next meeting Thursday May 7th 8:30 am
