Random 4am ideas

Memory site:

• Cordite steel & etched glass
• Concrete & etched glass
• To show the passing of time, plus glass for transparency with traces of past images/memories but also to keep the inside light/airy
• Strong horizontal lines to mirror the site
• Interior to provide a connection with flatness but feeling of being up high with fresh sea air/sea gulls
• Naval baracks?

Need some historical pictures

Restoration site:

• Wood, textures that reflect the bush somehow
• Tree house - or at least the feeling of a tree house - up high, but safe and in a secret place
• perhaps just above the current bush so it grows up around the accomodation

Need some pictures and timelines

Common elements:

• Communal kitchen areas to faciliate interactions between guests
• Each accomodation unit to be separate but not too far apart, with visual connections still allowing privacy

Differing layouts to suit different user profiles:

• ACCESS: easy access for elderly/disabled people vs more difficult or less obvious access for people wanting to feel 'away from it all'
• PROXIMITY TO OTHERS: close for those who are uncomfortable with remoteness/openess and are used to crowds of people vs a feeling of isolation for people who want that experience
• REASON FOR BEING THERE: research/replanting vs recreation/holiday vs combination
